WITCH DOCTORS RULE
NICERIAN TRIBESMEN
English Traveller Tells Some In
teresting Facts About
Ibibios.

London. Special: p. Amaury Tai
bot, OF the Nigerian political service,
who has travelled much throughout At
RIGA studying the various tribes, says
the Ibibios, natives of southern Nigeria,
who are of u r low type that they
are called mud fish," rank among the
most ancient of southern Nigerian
tribes and speak different dialects OF
a very old and primitive tongue.
Witch doctors dominate the life OF
the race. AS q protection against farm
thefts, certain spells are recited over
the long hoe used for breaking up the
ground, and a medicine" poured over
1t, after which 1t is given back to its
owner to be hung up in some conspicu-
GUS place on the plantation. No sooner
does the thief creep oyer the boundary
Il a the magic hoe springs to his hand,
Unconsciously his fingers clasp them
selves around the haft. He Is bent
down by a power there is no resisting
and finds himself forced against his
VIII TO hoe and hoe.
Not for q omen can he pause, even
to straighten his back, so long as a
single weed remain on the farm. a
single yam needs banking or q single
c!od would be the better for breaking.
So long must the evil doer continue to
work for the mar he had intended to
rob. Only when the owner arrives on
the scene. should he so wish, can the
magic hoe be released from the hand
OF the thief. It is not said whether the
magic has ever worked.
Quaint burial customs prevail. Slaves
are frequently sacrificed at the death
OF a chief and buried with him. Until
prohibited by the government, chiefs
Were buried in their houses with
strange ritual and sacrifice. A burial
chamber was prepared underneath one
OF the rooms. and IN lis the chiefs
body was placed. His best loved wife
and two of the most beautiful of his
slaves entered the room and seated
themselves at q table opposite their
lord. After some ceremonial all but the
withdrew, the chamber wa
sealed up and the unfortunate women
were left to a lingering death.

When and How to Punish.
From the New York World.

A Boston school expert who has been
investigating conditions Of study and de-
pertinent among public school children,
finds that "the mental life predominates
In January and February, while boys
and girls ARE owest from the view
point Of good citizenship during March,
part of April and In October" Good boys
are at their best at 10 o'clock in the
morning and bad boys at their worst at 8
and 4 in the afternoon, and parents
should make their appeals accordingly.
What a lot Of things we should never
have known but for s%ociology! Is it
possible that the predominance of ju-
venile, mental life in midwinter is due to
the absence of outdoor attractions like
baseball and bird nesting? But parents
cannot be too careful in the treatment of
their children under the new dispensa-
ton, and in the light Of this discovery
1t will be their fault If they spoil the
child through neglect of choosing the
psychological moment for persuasion or
reproof. No doubt the sociological family

THE CHRISTIAN.

John Card.

~. ErEELT# ELtLE.E#E rwH-Ha
When a mar is learning to be a
Christian 1T matters not what his par
ticular work in life may be; the work
he does is but the copy line set for
him; the main thing to be considered
is that he learns to live well. The form
is nothing. the execution is everything.
It Is true. indeed, that prayer. holy
reading. meditation, the solemnities and
services Of the church are necessary to
religion, and these can be practiced
only apart from the work of secular
life. But 1t Is to be remembered that
all such holy exercises do not termi-
nate in themselves. They are but steps
to the ladder Of heaven. good only as
they help us climb. They are. in short,
but means to and end-good only in so
far as they help us to be good and to
do good. No man car become q SOL
der by studying books on military tao
tics, in his closet; he must in actual
service acquire those habits Of GOODNESS,
courage. discipline. address, rapid COM
bination. without which the most
learned In the theory Of strategy
Or engineering will be but q scholboy
soldier after all. But never in the high
est and hottest sense. can he become
q religious man, until he hos acquired
those habits OF self denial. Of resist
ance to temptation. of kindness, gem
tleness, humility, sympathy, active be-
nevolence. which are to be acquired
only In daily contact with mankind.

Switzerland is described in London
Everyman as "a land without landlords"
The natural temper of the Swiss is suoh
that any man who should acquire and at
tempt to cultivate an extensive acreage
would find it difficult to hire the neces-
sary labor. The Swiss are willing to re-
gard themselves as belonging to the soil
only on thec condition that the soil belongs
to them. In cases where hired labor il
Indispensable, it generally has to be i'm
ported from Austria. The Swiss prefer tc
leave the land and seek their fortunes in
the hotels. or in the towns. or across the
seas. The Swiss peasant, no matter how
poor, Is strong in the consciousness that
he Is a free and independent citizen Of q
state to Which no other rank than official
rank is known. The poorest peasants are
not In the least anxious that their daugh-
tiers should seek service as domestic de-
pendents of distinguished people. They

CORN CAN BE GROWN
ON CANADIAN PRAlRIES

Manitoba is now commencing to
produce considerable corn, chiefly for
feeding purposes. In some cases,
where the crop can be matured into
the dough stage, silos could be used
and would be a profitable Investment.
According to the Farm and Ranch Re-
view, a correspondent visited a field
of corn in southern Manitoba on Sep
TENDER 2S. The corn then was UNI.
touched by frost and it stood on an
average eight and nine feet in height.
The corr had developed into the
dough stage, and the crop would easily
exceed 20 tons TO the acre. At many
experimental farms, the same favor
able showing Of the corn crop has
manifested itself. At the Brandon ex-
detrimental farm this year several va
%rieties, all very good y~ielders, matured
into good silo orn
Considering the success with which
corn can be produced, and the advan-
tages to be gained by so producing it,
should not it receive the serious at
tention of the western agriculturist?
Corn is successfully grown in the
northern part of Minnesota in SINH
lar soil and under the same climatic
condition, and there does not appear
TO be any reason why like results
should not be secured in western Can
ada, 1t is the opinion of many Ameri-
can farmers of experience that the
corn belt is extending northward. The
prairie provinces must gradually take
up with mixed farming. More stock
on the farms must be raised, and in
consequence farming must to some
extent be diverted from grain growing
to other necessary crops. If crops
suitable for wintering cattle and espe-
cially dairy stock are to be grown,
why should not corn be II of these
crops? In Ontario and in the United
States we find it forms the main bulky
food for wintering beef and dairy cat
tie. They would not be without this
profitable plant. In fact, since its in
PRODUCTION almost twice as much stock
can be retained on the same amount
OF land, besides considering its great
value for keeping the land clean.
Some may say that many crops that
can be grown in Ontario and the
States cannot be grown here, but not
SO with corn, eve now we find scat
tered fields Of corn in Alberta and
