we hope it may result before long
in some further extensions Of the

MASSIVE BEAUTIES.
ibibio Women Stuff Themselves With
Food to Become Fat.


The strangest institution of the
Ibibio women of southern Nigeria
is known as the fatting house. The
first great event in the life of an
Tbibio girl is her entrance into the
fatting house, where she is kept in
seclusion for few months, allow
ed ito eat as much as she likes and is
pampered on every side. Freedom
girls of good family go twice, and
sometimes three times, into the fat
ting house before marriage. The
second period varies, according to
the wealth of the family, from Il
few weeks to two years, and girls
of good position who are regarded
as likely to repay the expenditure
by the mans dowry money arc
sometimes sent third time into
the fatting house.
The result is that they ultimate
ly emerge, to the admiration of
their adoring relatives and to the
townsfolk at large, perfect noun
tail1s Of flesh.
"a day is set apart" says Mrs.
Talbot in "Woman's Mysteries of a
Primitive People" "for the first APP
pearance of the girls of each town
who are ready to emerge from the
fatting house. On several Occa-
sions we have been present when
these swollen specimens of feminin-
ity strutted through the market
place, enjoying their. brief hour OF
Importance, while the men. who at
every other period of woman's
existence are looked upon as of SUI
perior, race, draw back admiringly
to give them passage. y
"The wooers, who stand during
this parade appraising the merits
and value of the various debutantes,
afterward hurry to the parents with
offers of dowry. A marriage is
speedily arranged for each, and the
young bride quickly finds her place
amid the new surroundings, no
longer petted, spoiled and pamper-
ed, the center of attention for whom
her family stint and deny them
selves, but only too often the slight
ed, hard worked drudge of her new
lord"

IDEAL COUNTRY SCHOOL

THE school should be located
IN a healthful place." declares
the committee. ''Noise should be
eliminated; children should not
be obliged to walk farther than
two miles or ride more than six;
Fairgrounds should be ample and
well drained; and the school
ground should include a real gar
den or experimental farm, with
trees and plants grouped artist
caliy." These are sensible pro-
visions and can be followed in
most country districts.
The schoolhouse, according to
the bulletin, should be as nearly
nreproof as possible. Doors
should open outward. A small
room for consultations and emer-
gency purposes, and one for
workshop, instruction in cook
ing and preparing refreshments,

should be provided. These are
necessary to meet the social cen
ter requirements. In the mat
ter of ventilation and heating.
the bulletin gives specific sug-
gestions.
Fresh air should be provided
through window board ventila-
tors except where the furnace
or Jacketed stove is used in
which case adequate inlets and
outlets should be provided. Ev-
cry school should have a Their
mometer and temperature in cold
weather should be between six
ty-slx and sixty-eight degrees.
Light should be abundant. "The
best arrangement" says the bull
letin, lis to have the light come
only from the left side of the
pupil and from the long wall of
the class room.
The schoolroom should re-
celve direct sunlight sometime
during the day, but the main
windows should not face direct
ly south. East or west facing
IS desirable. In providing shades
Tor windows dark ones should
be used at the top of windows
TO control light on bright days.
There should be no dry sweeping
or dusting," says the committee.
Floors and furniture should be
cleaned with damp sweepers and
oily cloths. Scrubbing, summing
and airing are better than any
form of fumigation."
The common drinking Gun
should not be tolerated. Care
should be taken that drinking
water always comes from a safe
source; drinking fountains, To-
Gated just inside or outside the
schoolhouse, with sufficient pres
sure for running water, should
be provided. That water for
washing should be easily &C
cessible and should be utilized
always after using the toilet and
before eating seems little enough
to ask, but many schools are
found to be lacking in this re.
spect."

READING THE EXCHANGES
When the Editor Must Not Be
Bothered

Every craft has it's crosses.
One of the sore Affections of the
newspaper business is found in
the fact that people generally
thing it's no work to get out a
paper. One of the hardest jobs
every editor does, though gen
orally the pleasantest, is to read
his exchanges. But it is hard
work and it must be done. For
the editor who gets a day or two
back" in his exchanges never
catches up. And the thing that
makes him maddest, though he
will look up and greet the strang-
er with a smile who does it, is
for a man to come in saying,
well, saw you were sitting
there doing nothing but reading,
SO | thought I'd just pass the
time of day with your
Remember this, you who
would have business with the
editor: It's all right to come in
when he's reading or writing or
editing copy, but don't get it in
to your head that when he's
reading his exchanges you have
come in the idle hour. How can
an editor get any ideas if he
doesn't read others ideas? Do
you think he sits down and
thinks 'em out of his head ? Well,
he doesn't. He reads a score of
papers every morning, and from
one or two he gets suggestion
or two. Sometimes he finds an
item that makes him mad; then
he writes well. Sometimes a vay-
rant item, a pay local, tele-
graphic head, an advertisement
starts rich train of suggestion.
But the sure way to wreck the
train ard make your paper stu
pid and insane is to come bust
ling in when he is reading the
exchanges. He is doing the best
work OF his day.-Emporia Ca
zette.
