The Nioerian Durbar.

Sir Frederick Lugard. governor of Nigeria, has sent to the Colonial
 office an extraordinary, vivid descrip- tion of most picturesque gathering Cf Emirs and Chiefs at Kano on New Years day. Kano is famous an cient city, with written records for 800 geria. It is enclosed by walls twenty
 to fifty feet high and twelve miles III circumference. Hither the Emirs with their horsemen and followers
 gathered from all parts of the prov ince, and the durbar was held in the
 great plain outside the city walls.
 Many horsemen were entirely in chain arnor. and cloths of gold @ and
 many colors gave a brilliant and
 varied appearance to the scene as
 each tribal contingent passed before
 the governor. Most remarkable, per
 haps, of all was the presence of
 bands of almost nude pagans, Whe
 had come out of their fastnesses a danced and yelled with delight, brand
 d1shing their clubs. Such a thing was not conceivable a few years ago.
 The number of horsemen taking part in the display was reckoned at from
 1000 to 30,000. with footmen innum- erable. Each Ernir, in turn, with his horsemen, ganoped right up to the governor in a whirlwind of dust, des- ert fashion, and did obeiSance. After wards Sir F. Lugard shook hands with the principal chiefs, and gave short address; and on subsequent days he received each chief separately in audience. There were weight of these separate interviews, and ln each case the governor inquired after the prosperity of the chiefs district and asked if he had any matter to bring before him. The almost uni versal report was of peace and pros-- perity. In all. sixty three Emirs and Chiefs, representing sixty eight tribes were present The whole gathering at which chiefs formerly in bitter hostility met in friendship-was a splendid tribute to the wisdom and skill of British administra ton. which in a little more than a dozen years, by policy of justice and considera- tion, has established order and secur- itY.=Christian World Hondon.)

Children and Play.


 It is as natural for a child to play as to breathe. It is necessity, not a luxury. It is t part of his education, and an expression of his self-devel- opment and )f his being. Left to his own amusement with proper cOnd1- tions, his whole attitude of mind and body is one of absorbing interest and concentration, and he often displays initiative and activity really surprising. The play instinct is so universal it might be regarded IS selfsatisfying. But conditions of life are so congested that space is prohibited and children are simply starved for play. The play experience of my childhood was de- light. but we had the canal and the l-mill, the woods and fields, the hay loft. the woodshed. and the carpenter shop in the neighbours back yard. The carpenters wooden horse hitched to the wheelbarrow provided a joy ride never dreamed of in the costiest auto mobile. Such play and such fun are not in the experience of the average child today-Suburban Life.
