Fe.hers Must Re Careful There.


Among the Indians of British Guiana
usage bids the father go to bed when a
child is born aud allow the mother to re-
turn at once to her household duties
James Rodway's recently published book
on that country explains the custom by
a superstition which attaches the spirit
of the child to the body of the father
The author says:
'The father must not hunt, shoot or
fell trees for some time. because there is
an invisible connection between himself
an the babe, whose spirit accompanies
him in all his wouderings and might be
shot, chopped or otherwise injured uu-
Willingly. Tie therefore retires to his
hammock, sometimes holding the little
one, and receives the congratulations OF
his friends, as well as the advice of the
elder members of the community. If he
has occasion to travel he must not 60 very
far, as the child and spirit might get tired,
and in passing creek must first lay
across it a little bridge or bend a leaf into
the shape of a canoe for his companion.
