Sir Frederick Lugard, governor of Nigeria, has eent to the Coionial office an extraordinary, vivid descrip- tion of a most picturesque gathering ¢f Emirs and Chiefs at Kano on New Year's da: Kano is a famous an- clent city, with written records for 800 years, in the heart of Northern Ni- geria. It is enclosed by walls twenty to fifty feet high and twelve miles in 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 armor, and cloths of gold and many colors gave a brilliant and ried appearance to the scene -as :h tribal contingent passed before the governor. Most remarkable, per- haps, of all was the presence of bands of almost nude pagans, whe zod come out of their fasinesses a danced and yelled with _delight, brand- dishing 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 15,000 to 30,000, with footmen innum- erable. Each Emir, in turn, with his horsemen, galloped 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 a short addr and on subsequent days he received each chief separately in audience. There were forty-eight of ese separate interviews, and in cach case the governor inquired after the prosperity of the chief's district and asked if he had any matter to before him. The almost uni- report was of peace and Pros- In all, sixty-three Emirs and representing sixty-eight tribes present. The whole gathering —at which chiefs formerly in bitter hostility met in friendship—was & splendid tribute to the wisdom and skill of British administration, which in a little more than a dozen years, by a policy of justice and considera- tion, has established order and secur- ity.—Christian *World (London.) Children and Play. It is_as natural for a child to play as to breathe. It is necessity, not a luxury. It is = part of his education, and an expression of his self-devel- opment and of his being. Left to his own amusement, with proper condi- tions, his whole attitude of mind and body is one of absorbing interest and concentration, and he often displays initiative and zctivity really surprising. The play instinct is so -universal it might be regarded as self-eatisfying. 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 a de- light, but we had the canal and the oll-mill, the woods and flelds, the hay- loft, the woodrhed, and the carpenter shop in the neighbor’s back yard. The carpenter'’s wooden horse hitched to the wheelbarrow provided a ‘“joy ride” never dreame- of in the costliest auto- mobile. Such play and such fun are not in the experience of the average child today.—Suburban Life. were Minister—Is this your birthday. lit- tle man? Wil 0. sir; I was born the second. Minieter—Oh what?
