MAILING AN IMAGE.
Curious Custom Of the Natives Of the
Kongo Country.

Among the curious objects in the
home Of the Royal Geographical So
ciety at Kensington Gore, in London,
is a fetish that was captured in 1865
from river pirates on the Kongo riv-
er. 1t is a wooden figure with mica
eyes that glisten unpleasantly in the
dark. A number of heavy nails have
been driven into its body.
According to Mr.. T. A. Joyce of the
British museum, the practice Of driv-
ing nails into images has two pur-
poses. One is simply to get favor
granted. In that case the worshiper
on paying the fetish man fee is per-
mitted to drive nail into the figure
while uttering his petition. The 9TH
err purpose is to injure an enemy. In
that case the applicant pays heavy
fee and drives his nail into the figure
in the belief that his enemy will fall
Ill and die.
A man who falls i'll goes at once to
the fetish man and makes inquiries,
and If he finds that an enemy has
driven nail into the idol with him
in mind he brides the fetish man
heavily to remove it, That, he thinks,
insures his getting well.
The principle underlying the prac-
tice is quite different from that UNI
