They just don't know that Electrio light is not much more expensive thai: the coal oil lamp, And they judge of the price by the superior merits of Electricity, We should like to see some of these people; we would submit n few facts and figures that would surprise them.

Tel. oU Cannibalism Still Much In Evidence Man Is still much eaten by his fel low man. It Is estimated Hint mil lions of savages on the upper Congo nro ""Invcterato cannibals. Millions mora perhaps hnvo the samo tnsto In Now Giilnen nnd ceitnln groups ot the South Sen Islands, notably tho Solomons, the Now Hebrides und New Ireland. Why this should be so Is n mjs lery Hint has perplexed the anthro pologists. David Livingstone, tho first white man to cross the Man yemn count r)-. In Central Ah leu, was icluctaut to bellow that cannibalism was not In some way associated with superstitious rites. Hut when he saw tho eagerness of the nutlvcs for what was evidently their fiuorlto food ho could no longer close his eyes to tho dimple fact the Congo man preferred human llesli to any other Mud of meat. Tho extent ot tho prnctlco is indi cated in tho evldeneo gheii before tho various Congo Inquiry commissions, sayB n writer In the Charleston Nows And Courier. One natlvo witness af ter another camo forward mid laid on tho table bunches of twigs nnd loaves, each ono lcprcscntlng n hu man being that had been hilled and eaten by the so-called sentries em plojed by the llelglun administration to supervise tho bringing In of rub ber. It has even been asserted that those tribes which do not Indulge In this prnctlco nro inferior, mentally and phjsleally, to the cannibals. "And yet," said Livingstone, speaking of tho Mnnyemn, "they nro a llne-Iook-Ing race. I would hack them to be ruperlor In shnpo of head and general phyBlquo to tho entire Anthropolog ical Society," Kor ninny )cars travelers general ly omitted from tho books mention of cannibalism. Such stoi'les would, they fancied, be considered exagger ated, If not positively untrue. Hut of late th explore of all nationalities have studied both people und prac tice with bclcntllic-zenl. Sir Harry Johnston, Herbert Ward, Commandant Guy llurrows, of the Congo Administration; Dr. Parke, Capt. S. I.. Hlnde, also in King Leo pold's service, und many others hnc spent years among tho Congo tribes, nnd they give in a matter-of-fact way details of tho habits of tho savages which are almost lncicdlblc. In the llangala country not only nro tho bodies of those, slain In battle eaten, but tho natlves'hnbltually hill men tor food. And about this thero Is much curious system, such as in clines students of anthropology to suspect some hidden origin. Thus the prisoner is not killed out right, but Is placed chin deep in a pool of water, with his head made fast to a log lest he diown. Tho vic tim's limbs, by tho way, hnvo been broken three days previously. On tho third day tho poor crentrfro is taken out and killed. This proced ure, tho fierce Dnngnla say, makes tho lle3h more tender. Tho cannibals In nil cases extrnct tho teeth of their human prey for' WTWPWWWT"" necklaces and bracelets. The hair Is niiido Into fishing lines and nets, the Bklu goes to cover war drums and tnc skulls become fnshlonablo decora tions In tho homes of tribal chiefs, whoso greatest glory Is a long nrray of these trophies of tho chase. Commandant Guy Harrows, Intnly lit tho service of tho Congo adminis tration, told tho writer a em Ions story of tho Hatako people, n body ot whom he led In a punitive expedition tgainst tho Mnhodo tribes. Tho day had been marked by forc ed marches and sharp fighting. In which both sides left many dead In tho thick Jungle. Presently In tho gathering dink a huge savage passed him stcnlthll), with it big btindlo on his shoulder wrapped In lenves of tho wild banana palm. Challenged by Harrows, Hu man said he was only bearing food for bis comrades just bnnnn.i food. Hut in fact ho and several uthi-is had been constantly going to and fio from the sreno of tho light, inning up the bodies nnd bringing them down In small parcels, so as not to attract tho whlto man's attention as they passed his tent. Yet In this very country are tribes that would not eat human llesli If they were starving; tho curious little pygmies, for instance, of the Gicat Forest. Yet theso nro Infinitely low er In the bocinl scalo than the canni bals llttlo better thnn apes. In fact Their huts would dlsgrnco an in telligent animal. They hac no arts, nor do they till tho Mill Theso queer little nomads exist by hunting, (rapping and fishing.

So far theso efforts bac met with llttlo success, Tho practice is too deep seated to bn eradicated in a generation or two. No New Gulnen maiden will look with faor on n suitor whose hut is not plastered with human skulls as testimony to his prowess ns hunter and general pro filer for tho home. In the Solomon Island, New Britain nnu Now Ireland, tho natives nro also cannibals from deliberate choice. In tho FIJI Islands ns Into nslSSO lived cannibals as ruthless as any on earth. They fattened .their victims In wood en cages until they wero ready for the braining stones, which you mny see In Ovnlnu to this day, together with notches otr the trees recording tho number of human beings sent to the ovens. Hero tho eating of human flesh was full of symbols, poetry nnd philoso phy, n thing sanctified by tho gods ann governed by intricate rules. Lord Stanmorc, G. C. M.
