vooDoo WORSHIP IN HAITI
Strange Beliefs Which Christianity
and Civilization Have Been un.
able to Stamp Out.

Voodoolsm. or yo0doo. that strange
worship that comes down from fhe na-
tive customs Of West Africa, Is still
practiced to a great extent in Haiti,
where they believe that the body has
two splrlts--a good one that returns to
Africa, and duppy, who remains In
the Vicinity Of the dead. These "dup-
pies" are considered to be very dan
gerous and in order TO drive them
away from the house where death
has occurred, all standing water is
thrown out, and food and rum provid-
ed to propItiate the "duppy" and per-
suade It to accompany the good spirit
on Its journey.
"Dupples" are supposed to have
solid bodies instead Of ghostly ones,
and so the doors and windows, and
even cracks In the house are stuffed
up 10 keep them out.
voodOolsm, unfortunately. goes much
farther than this belief, and the use
Of all kinds Of charms, the worship
OF certain sacred green snake, and
the melting and lnfiaming Of the ne
groes to emotional heights by strange
ceremonies continues In Haiti even
now. At the close Of yoodoo meet
Ing when the audience is excited to a
Wild hysterla a dance called the 'lollo-
ichi" is performed which ends In q
Wild orgy, an exchange states. In all
these wild ceremonies and dances, a
drum is the instrument used, Its rhyth-
mic throbblng tending to excite those
who hear 1t. Indeed, from time i'm
memorial drums have been used for
this purpose, the nerves Of even the
most civilized and self-contalned per-
sons responding almost Immediately
to steady drumming.

Causes Of Manklnd's Good or Bad For

Human Qualities.

! have always been Of the opinion
that the complaints against providence

good or bad qualities Of men are the
causes of their good or bad fortune

There are no doubt instances to the
contrary, and pretty numerous ones.

stances We have Of right distribution
of prosperity and adversely; nor, in
deed could II be otherwise from the
common course Of human affairs. To
be endowed with benevolent disposi-
ton and to love others will almost In
falllbly procure love and esteem, which
is the chief circumstance In life and
facilitates every enterprise and un-
dertaklng besides the satisfaction that
Immediately results from II. The case
Is much the same with the other vir-
tues. Prosperity is naturally, though
not necessarily, attached to virtue and
merit; and adversely, in like manner,
to vice and folly.-Davld Hume.

his old home. There would be work
OF all kinds in connection with these
settlements. from the highest techni-
cal and clerical positions to that of
laborer.
The plan involves "the new farm
idea" in that there will be built what
are known as community settlements.
each containing number of farm
homes, so that the men will have
near neighbors, good roads over
which to bring their produce to town
and a market for the sale of produce
within a short distance OF the farm
home. Efforts will be made to over
come the handicaps OF farm life that
are driving the people to the cities
the lack Of society in the country, the
distance between farm homes, the
remoteness from the postoffice and
the newspaper, the desire for better
school facilities for the children.
Under the new way there will be the
farm village, the settlement OF farm
ers around a center which is their
home, in which can be gathered most
Of the advantages of the city-the
good school, the church, the moving
picture, the well-outfitted store, and
these, with good roads, the rural ex-
press, the telephone, the automobile
and the postoffice will make life on
the farm a thing of far different
meaning from the isolated life it has
BEEN
After these service men have build
ed the dams and canals, or cleared
the cut-over land of stumps, or built
the bitches TO drain the swamp lands:
after they have helped to erect the
houses and barns, built fences, con-
structed roads and laid out town
sites, built creameries, canneries,
warehouses, and schools, after they
have in fact reclaimed the land, the
Government intends to allow the
men to pick out one Of these farms.
The plan provides that these farms
and homes shall be paid for in small
payments over long term of years.
1t is expected that the men will be
able to pay the first small payment
out Of the wages received from the
Government in helping to build these
settlements. The balance can be
paid from the proceeds from the sale
of crops.
II is planned that the Government
will also furnish the new farmers
with the necessary stock and farm
implements, these to be paid for in
small payments spread over several
years,
These farms will contain, from
forty to eighty acres for general
farming purposes, from eighty to
one hundred and sixty acres for live
stock purposes, from fifteen to twen-
ty acres for fruit farms and from five
to twenty acres for truck farms.
Competent instructors in farm
practice will be stationed on each
project to teach the men how to
make a success of farming. This will
make II possible for men who know
nothing about farming to make a
success of these farms. The plan is
to be open to every man who has
won Uncle Sans uniform in the
great war.
