At Their Wild Ceremonies the Prieete of These Barbarians Offer Up Hu man Sacrifices to Their Grotesque and Repulsive Stone Gods. A religious festival by a savage tribe of Asia, in which occurred a human sacrifice and the burning of the victim on a funeral pyre, is described by Wil liam Jameson Reid in his book, "Unex plored Asia." The rites were held In a place called Chite City, Tzuchan, which was reached after a hazardous journey through the Ping mountains. He says: "Let me give a brief history of this Jtrange race, who for centuries have defied the most persistent research of explorers and ethnologists. Many cen turies ago, In the vicinity of Shanghai, there lived a highly enlightened race known as the Chites. They were the most fanatical and bigoted Buddhists, so fanatical, In fact, that their turbu lent spirits and eager desire to sow the seed of proselytism caused frequent revolutionary disturbances. The gov ernment, as its only means of salva tion, made war on them. For years the Chites battled against overwhelming odds until at last, their numbers fear fully reduced, they gradually retired to the west, settling here and there, only to be again driven back. After years of wanderings they located in the wild mountain region of northwestern Tibet. "For untold centuries they have held entirely aloof from their more civilized Chinese neighbors, and today they are as untamed and barbarous as were their fierce ancestors. Many of them are savages of the worst degree even cannibalism is said to be prevalent among many of them. They acknowl edge no allegiance to the emperor, en tirely ignore the authority of the man darins and hold no communication with the outside world. Yet we have visited their wild domain we have penetrated into their stronghold and have witnessed their strange customs. "It had been our intention to steal into the city under cover of night, but from our position of vantage we could see that some religious demonstration was in progress, and we did not dare to move. For half an hour our guides (natives) crawled out on the plain and returned with the information that they had discovered a considerable cave in the hillside to the left of the town, which would screen us from ob servation and at the same time permit us to watch the movements of those inside the walls. We had just time to reach our place of concealment when the leaders of the procession entered the narrow orifice and halted while torches were being lit to guide their passages through the gathering gloom. Following them pressed the unkempt crew, until the interior of the dome shaped cave was filled to the point of suffocation. "For half an hour the ear torturing strife of discord waxed louder at every moment until a hundred devils In hu man form flitted beneath the flare of flickering torches. A frenzied enthusi ast would leap into the air, lacerating himself with a knife, grasping the gory strip of flesh and grinding It under his heel, or taunting a neighbor into the spirit of emulation by flaunting before his eyes the ghastly piece of flesh. Sud denly from out the compact mass rose a howl of mingled anguish and fury, and a solitary individual mounted a sort of platform and stretched forth his hand. Evidently he was a high priest. Instantly there was silence. The light of the torches enabled us to see the man who had mounted the plat form. He was a tall, gaunt individ ual. All his right side was naked, and his face was covered with gaping rents of knife wounds, from which blood trickled. "A garment of coarse cloth covered his body below the waist. Soon we saw five others follow him upon the platform, which was of raised earth. In a recess in the wall at the rear of the platform one could see the dis torted form of a gigantic Imagea stony, impassive figure of such gro tesque ugliness that one could not help wondering how a race of people, how ever unenlightened, could bring them selves to worship an object of such re pulsiveness. "At last a fearful moment was at hand. An old man was seized and stretched upon a sort of stone altar, raised above the platform. He realized his last hour had come, and he strug gled in fear and fury to escape from the grasp of his captors, giving vent to shriek after shriek until, exhausted, he fell Into a stupor. Four of the priests held the faintly struggling body, while from the gloom stalked forth the sacrificial priest, his hand holding a long knife. Once, twice, thrice he abased himself before the image, and then, turning round like a beast ready to leap upon its prey, he rushed toward the prostrate form. A flash of light and the keen blade sank to the hilt in the flesh of the victim. "Three times did the worshipers on the floor rise and abase themselves, and then quickly the minor priests seized the lifeless body and held It In The air. For a moment it silhouetted against the fitful glare of the fire then the flames leaped forward in eager ecstasy to receive their prey." Kindness in us is the honey that blunts the sting of unkindness in an other.Landor. Husbands Beat Each of Their With a Different Club. The marriage customs of the Pap uans are somewhat similar to those of many other savage races. The cer emony is largely a matter of purchase. The men marry when they are about eighteen years of age and the girls at fourteen or even earlier. When a young lake man desires to get married he visits the father of his prospective bride and puts forward his personal belongings as an induce ment to the father to consent to the union. If a man has a gun he is a great per sonage and can demand anything, but besides their bows and arrows and spears most of the the Papuans have very little. Even agricultural produce is scarce, the only cultivation under taken being on a very primitive scale. A little clearing is made by both men and women, and the women then grow bananas and sweet potatoes. The men are always armed, and when the women go to the patch to attend to their crops or gather the produce the men go with them as a protection. The women, however, do the work. Many families have a bundle of an cient Portuguese cloth centuries old, and when a young man is seeking a bride one of these heirlooms is gener ally part of the deal The youth and the girl's father haggle over the mar riage until eventually they agree to terms, and then the thing is done. The men are not limited to one wife, and once a girl is married she is sub ject to her husband in everything and is practically his slave. "In another part of New Guinea," says a writer in the Wide World mag azine, "I remember a distinctly strong confirmation of the custom which places a woman at the entire mercy of her husband. At one house I visit ed I saw standing outside the doorway three huge stone clubs, each large enough to fell a bullock. "On making inquiries I found that they tallied with the number of wives owing allegiance to the householder. The clubs were used by the man to beat his wives with if they annoyed him. The quaint part of it was that while the women seemed to raise no objection to being flogged unmerciful ly by their lord and master they would not be beaten with the same weapon as that used on another wo man, so the native kept a separate club for each wife." DEATH IN THEIR WORK. Dangers That Beset Those Who Toil In Atkal* Factories. Do you like your work? When you are inclined to be discon tented with it think of the alkali work ers. They die by inches from the mo ment they enter the factories. Things are not so bad now as they once were, but they are bad enough still. In what is known as the "black ash" department in chemical works big open vats of caustic are used. The splashing of this caustic sends drops of the burning fluid flying through the air. A drop falling upon naked flesh causes a bad burn. A drop in the eye will blind it forever if the stuff is not removed within a few seconds. A black ash worker in a Welsh al kali factory, tolling at the caustic pots, received an invisible globule of this deadly spray in his eye. There was no water at hand with which to wash out the caustic. It seemed that he must surely go blind. But one of his mates seized on the Injured man, who was quite frantic with pain, lifted his eyelid with forefinger and thumb and with his tongue licked out the caustic. He burned his tongue badly, but he saved the other poor fellow's sight. Another of the dangers that beset the alkali workerand the worst of them allis poisoning by chlorine acid gas. This gas, which comes off the lime in thin green fumes, is known to the men and joked about as "Roger." A full In draft of the gas kills a man in an hour.Pearson's Weekly. End of the Trail. "I lost a pocketbook with a roll of bills in it a few weeks ago," Charlie Gibson told us. "I didn't make a fuss about it and tell the papers, but it was more than I could afford to lose So I put a detective on it. He asked a lot of questions, looked wise and said he'd report in a day or two. Well, about three days later I found that pocketbook where I had mislaid it. I rejoiced exceedingly, and then I called up the detective agency to confess. The sleuth seemed disgusted. 'Mighty careless of you,*" he said, 'And I'd just found a darned good clew too!' "Cleveland Plain Dealer. Sydney Smith's Criticism. The story Is told in Mr. Barry O'Brien's book on John Bright how on one occasion Sydney Smith, while look ing critically at the unfinished portrait of a celebrated nonconformist divine, said to the artist, "Do you not think you could throw into the face a stronger expression of hostility to the established church?"

Last Friday Miss Minnie Sinclair finished a four months' term of teach ing in school district 4, this county. The people up there say she has given the best satisfaction of any teacher they ever had in that district. If it comes to a question of bonding the county in order to secure a rail road then the road is assured beyond peradventure of a doubt. We do not believe there are 50 people in Mille Lacs county who would vote against the bonds. EditorialA north and south rail road through the whole length of Mille Lacs county would add 100 per cent to the valuation and 300 per cent to the population of the county inside of one year from the time of the com pletion of said road. The surveying crew from the south is in charge of J. C. Patterson, with C. A. DeBrisay and H. Waag as assistants. The party from the north is in charge of Samuel Rockwell, with S. T. Norvell and Ed. Wardweli as assistants. They are all jolly good fellows and thorough gentlemen.
