Thoso aro a belief In a sort of were wolf or vampire, which lives on the blood of wayfarers, upon whom It leaps when they are abroad in the nighttime, or sleepers whom it finds in lonoly huts; and, second, a belief In what is known in the British is lands as the "rolling calf," a mon Btor with blazing oyeB, which prowls at night, clanking a chain suspended from Its neck, and at whoso touch men die. . Tho following description la given of tho typical obeah rean: "There Is something so indescrib ably sinister about' an obeah man's appearance that ho can always be picked out by one who has had much to do with his class. Dirty, ragged, unkempt, doformod, there Is yet about him an air of cunning authori ty. His small, plorclng eyes poor viciously at tho wltnosses arrayed against him In court, for all tho world llko those of a cornored rat. Black men may bo seen to turn as gray as ashos undor tho torror of that bale ful gaze, and ofton it Is only with dlfllculty that Incriminating cvidonco can bo dragged out of thom. The wizard's awosorae prosence. howevor, does not appall an unsentlmontal BritUh Judge. Ho orders him "12 months' hard" and a sound flogging. Frequently tho obeah man appeals against his sentonco to tho hlghor court, nnd In Jamaica it is not nt all unusual for him to got off on somo technical point, owing to tho defec- tlvo drafting of the law. Of cour&a, ho tells tho Ignorant negroes that ho procured freedom by his magical powers, and thus their superstition Is strengthened." BrltlBh law punches obeah with flogging and imprisonment. Never theless, oboah is practiced by the white plantors almost as a matter of necessity In order to frlghton tho nc groos and prevont thom from appro priating tho produce of the planta tions. You may walk through your friend's banana plantation and notice a skull stuck on top of a stick, a small bot tle full of dead cockroachos tied to a branch, or a miniature black coftln placod on a mound. "Hullo, old man!" you say; "working obeah eh? I'll como nnd see you flogged at tho Jail" Ho tries to laugh It 'off shamefacedly, saying there Is really no other way to mnko "thoso wretch ed natives" koep tholr hands off the crops. That Is true. It Is needless, however, to go to the trouble of plac ing those, things about the planta tion. If some night .prowler has stol on your bananas, alt you need to do Is to say next morning In the hear Ing of the natives. "It's all right; I don't care. I've got the footprint." You will see them whisper among themselves In an awe-stricken way. and presently one wilt come up to you, nearly weeping with terror, and confess him self the thief. The su perstition Is that if you dig out the etuth upon which the lobber has im pressed his foot ami throw It into the, tire he will waste away and die un less he gives himself up ant) take his punishment.
