From the Pail Mall Gazette.
A little while ago, while turning
oyer some mementoes of many years
spent in the Pacific Islands, came
across small circle of fine cane about
two inches in dimaeter; from the side
toward the center a. delicate network
of the fibers of some plant was con-
structed, leaving a small hole In the
center large enough for, say, d bee TO

less than a quarter of an ounce, yet,

Manahikl is one of a group of low
lying atoll islands to the north-north-
west of Samoa, and it's people to-day
are about the best educated of all the
Malayo-Polynesian people. They elect
a King and Parliament, have one of
the most beautifully adorned churches
in the Pacific Islands, and nearly all
the younger members of the communi-
ty can now not only speak, but read
and write English. The island is-for
an atoll--unusually fertile, and the
people a fine, stalwart, handsome cop

Soul catching" in the heather days,
prior to 1868, could be and was prac-
ticed by any one who desired revenge
or the life of an enemy. Indeed, al
though the people were nominally
Christians in 1873, it was still in vogue.
The modus operandi is very simple:
Say that two men, Rika and Tetoro,
quarrel. Rika accuses Tetoro of go
ing out into the lagoon at night time,
lifting his (Rika's) fish traps and abb
stfacting the contents. He, therefore,
demands compensation. Tetoro denies
the theft. The relatives of both men
take sides, and the quarrel assumes
all the elements of a feud, with blood
shed 1t may be that Tetoro is a man
OF means, or chiefly rank and infiu-
ence, and treats his accuser with scorn.
very WELL" the injured Rika cries,
The Savannah morning news., 1903-08-08

II cannot get justice from you shall
snare yoru soul. and you will die of a.
wasting sickness"
Tetoro, even if he is Innocent, be-
gins to feel uneasy at this threat, and,
while vigorously denying the theft,
offers Rika present of a pig to end
the matter Rika's relatives at once
clamor, not only for their original de-
mands, but for the pig as well. Pos
sibly free fight ensues, and Rika's
people get badly used, and threats
of "soul snaring" are heard on all
sides.
Then Rikas wife makes the snare for
Tetoros soul. Taking her mat out into
the village square, or upon well-fre-
duented road or path. she suspended
the snare from the branches of trees,
or. sticks placed in the ground in such
a position that she can closely watch

with her. They bring food and eat IL
and throw fragments under the snare
to attract the flies, with which the Is
land is infested. If but one fly crawlS

himself to. be bled. For not only 10
Rika's people watch the snare, but his
own as well. No one Of them would

the death Of the interferer by occult
power would certainly follow.
And so for hours and hours7-some-
times for days-many pairs of eyes

last a fly Is seen to crawl through, and
shout goes through the village.
"Ua hopo te lagol Ia hopo tie lagoi"
"a fly has passed through.) Tetoro
hears the cries. and Immediately imag-
ines he feels i'll. His wife and rela-
tives crowd about him and try to cheer
him up but his face assumes mela1-
choly look, and as the time passes on
he refuses his food. Perhaps he may
confess that he did steal Rika's fish,
and trembling1y offer to make fun res

make it go through the circle from the
reverse side through which the first
one entered voluntarily. Usually this
is done. and what might have become a
lasting family feud had Tetoro died of

up by the payment of so much prop
erty to Rika. and a feast for which
both parties provide the viands.
