It is proposed td fix the "econ- oulsory" family at, three children and to tax every ititizen who has reached the ago of forty-five without having three children living," or who reaohed the ago of twenty -ono. The tax is to be 26.00 per child falling short of the minimum of three. Thie tax -would, it 16 Oaaelliatild, yield about $100,000000 annually to the state.

Think of the aonallille ProePeot for the millionaire who anight find that he was seheduled to bring up twenty children or more.

A SOCIETY OF MURDERERS THE HUMAN LEOPARDS OF SIERRA. LEONE. One Must Slatighter One of His Fellow Men Before He Can Be a Member. The strange secret society known as the Society of Human Leopards, despite the efforts of the authori- ties, still flourishes in the district of Sierra. Leone. The anembere of the society believe in a medicine they called borema, the principal ingredient of which is human•fae, and no tape could gain admittance into the society until he had slaugh- tered ene of his fellow men. The general practice was for a member to disguise himself in a. leopard's skin and attaek hie victim. from be- hind by thrusting a three -pronged fork into the neck, thus severing the spinal cord. As a result of a recent trial it wa•s brought out that the society was in exisMnee long before the Britiah preteethrate was establish - ,e4. in 1896. For years, the authori- ties suspected that these murders were prevalent, but only in isolated eases hes it been pciesilale to prove tlm murder, and then only a few persons were brought to trial. In 1912 the northern Sherbro dis- trict Was formed and Major Fairt- lough, who was in adniinistrative charge, had as his assistant Ma.jor Wilkins who was in oharge of the eection of the district. In. July last a. murder occurred in Ira- perri town under revolting circum- stances, but -the authorities took possession of the body). before the members of the society were able: to carry it off.

Afthur Wigton', the new eolioitor-general, will undertake the work of prieon reform in Canada, This is a work in which Can- ada hae lagged rather than led in the past. Some of the provinces, 'have taken it up, but the Dosisinion on the whole has been content to follow the old naethods in its penitentiaries. ' The old penology had throe alum to punieli tbe criminal for hie oriine, t.o nro- teet, society and to etrike terror into the hearts of possible malefactors. The new Penology recognizes bIlt 0110 groat aim - to reform the criminal Incidentally, it may punieh, protect 'and deter, but all its energies ere directed toward reform- ation. ' Under the old eoheme of things, the criminal remained, practically all hie life, a -burden upon his fellow men.

Certain persorm turned king's evidence and were pivoted to divulge the full working of the society,. TheSe• 11.4- 0013)pli0e gave the authorities de- tails of an astounding number of murders and disclosed the identity of many prominent chiefs and na- tive traders who were members of the society. • Wholesale arrests followed, prac- tically all the influential chiefs and prominent native traders being taken into custody. The action of the executive aroused a storm of indignation, and wild rumors of native risings, were circulated in Freetown, and troops were import- ed from the Gold Coast. Subse- quently, in deference to strong lo- ool opinion, all those persons against. -whom there WM. 110 corro- borative evidenee beyond sworn statements of accomplices, were re- leased, although many so liberated were later re -arrested and dealt . . with politically. The authorities in England :took such .18 24010510 view of. the coedi- ticat of affairs. that a 'special com- mission court oralinanoe was passed and Sir Williasn Branford Griffith was sent out from England to sit as p resident. The extensive ramifica- tions of the society were proved to the oourt end it was even stated that a member of the society had frequently to give up one of his own family as a victim, FrOnl the evidence given, says the Londou Standard, it was clear that the society flourished at the time of the inquiry. The Objects of the Society: First -To :male iecrifices to their medicine, the borfima, which is sup- posed to have wonderful power. •Second= -To obtain human fat, which is eredited with giving mys- tic powers to any peraon rubbing it on his face before going to it pala- ver or to interview the authorities.
