'Thu'L'amiibals' Good Points.
Since everybody, including Judas and
Nero, have their apologists, the Feejeo
cannibals are now declared not to be so
black as they are painted. In the fiist
place, they had, in the way of flesh,
nothing but each other to eat. Except
flying foxes and rats, there were no four-footed
animals on the islands. The present
names of their domestic animals betray
a European origin, collie, for dog ;
puss, for cat ; ose, for horse ; scepi, for
mutton; goti, for goat; and bidlarna
kow, for beef. The wooden spoons for
human broth, and cannibal forks, eighteen
inches long, with four or five prongs,
are still in existence. A berry, resembling

was ever so much better than pork
