Cannibalism In Fill.

1t was only people who had been
killed that were considered good for
food. Those who died natural death
were never eaten-invariably buried.
But it certainly is wonder that the
isles were not altogether depopulated.
owing to the number who were killed.
Thus, in Namena, in the year 1851, fifty
bodies were cooked for one feast. And
when the men of Bau were at war with
Verata. they carried off 260 bodies, sew
enteen of which were piled on a canoe
and sent to Rewa, where they were re-
ceived with wild joy, dragged. about the
town, and subjected to every species of
indignity ere they finally reached the
ovens. Then, too. just think of the
number of lives sacrificed in country
where infanticide was a recognized in
stitution, and where widows were
strangled as matter of course! Why,
on one occasion, when there had been a
horrible massacre of Namena people at
Viva, and upward of one hundred fish
ermen had been murdered and their
bodies carried as bokotG to the ovens at
Bau, no less than eighty women were
strangled to do honor to the dead, and
corpses lay in every direction of the mis-
sion station! 1t is just thirty years since
the Rev. John Watsford, writing from
here, described how twenty-eight vic
tins had been seized in one day while
fishing. They were brought here alive,
and only stunned when put into the
ovens. Some of the miserable creatures
attempted to escape from the scorching
bed Of red-hot stones. but only to be
driven back and buried in that living
tomb, whence they were taken few
hours later to feast their barbarous cap
tors. He adds that more human beings
were eaten on this little isle of Bsu than
anywhere else in FIJI. 1t is very hard.
indeed, to realize that the peaceful viii
lage on which l am now looking has
really been the scene of such horrors rs
these, and that many of tho gentle,
kindly people around me have actually
taken part in them CsImntinq,

WHITTIER'S TRIBUTE TO LONG
FELLOW.


THE POET AND THE CHILDREN.
With glory of winter sunshine
over his locks of gray,
In the old historic mansion
He sat on his last birthday.
With his books and his pleasant pictures,
And his household and his kin,
While sound as of myriads singing
From far and near stole in. ...... l....f..
1t came from his own fair city,
From the prairies boundless plain,
From the Golden Gate of sunset,
And the cedarn woods of Maine. 1900
And his heart grew warm within him,
And his moistening eyes grew dim,
For he knew that his cOuntrys children
We're singing the songs of him.
The lays of his life's glad morning.
The psalms of his evening time,
Whose echoes shall float forever
On the winds of every cline.
All their beautiful consultations, ...
Sent forth like birds of cheer,
Came tiocking back to his windows.
And sang in the Poets ear.
Grateful, but olemn and tender
The music rose and fell
With a joy akin to sadness.
And greeting like farewell
With a sense of awe he listened
To the voices sweet and young:
The last of earth and the first OF heaven
Seemed in the songs they sung.
And waiting little longer
For the wonderful change to come,
He heard the Summoning Angel
Who calls Gods children homel
And TO him, in holier welcome,
Was the mystical meaning given
Of the words of the blessed Master:
''Of such is the kingdom of heaven!"
..f John @. Whittier, in Wide Quake.

The Resemblance Between Men and
"' -"" Monkeys.

If the skeletons of an orang-outang
and chimpanzee be compared with
that of man, there will be found to be
the most wonderful resemblance, to-
gether with very marked diversity.
Bone for bone, throughout the whole
structure, will be found to agree in gen.
eral form, position and function, the
only absolute differences being that the
orang has nine wrist bones, whereas man
and the chimpanzee have but eight; and
the chimpanzee has thirteen pairs of
ribs, whereas the orang, like man, has
but twelve. With these two exceptions,
the differences are those of shape, pro-
portion and direction only, though the
resulting differences in the external form
and motions are very considerable. The
greatest of these are that the feet of
the anthropoid or man-like apes, as well
as those of all monkeys, are formed like
hands, with large Opposable thumbs
fitted to grasp the branches of trees, but
unsuitable for erect walking, while the
hands have weak, small thumbs but very
long and powerful fingers, forming
hook rather than a hand, adapted for
climbing up trees and suspending the
whole weight from horizontal branches.
The almost complete identity of the
skeleton, however, and the close SINH
larity of the muscles and of all the in
ternal organs, have produced that strik-
ing and ludicrous resemblance to man
which everyone recognizes in these
higher apes and, in a less. degree, in the
whole monkey tribe; the face and fea-
lures, the motions, attitudes and
gestures being often strange caricature
of humanity.-Prof A. r. Wallace, IN
Popular Science Monthly. .... ....

Collecting.

Every one who has tried ii is apprised Of
the fact that collecting money just now is
an uphill business. The following on this
subject is worth reproducing:
- Last week man stepped up 10 US and
said he would pay every cent he owed us
il he lived until Saturday night. We pre-
sumo the man died. Another said he
would pay us in day or two as sure as we
were born. Query Did the man lie, or were
we never borng Another said he would
settle as sure rs shooting. We are led
TO the conclusion that shooting is un-
certain. Another said he hoped 10 90 TO
the devil il he did not pay us in three days.
Haven't seen him since, suppose he has
gone, but we trust he has not hoped in
vain. Quite number said they would see
us tomorrow. These have been stricken
blind. or else tomorrow has not come
One man told us six months ago that he
would pay us as soon rs he got some
money. The man would not lie, so OF
course he has not got cent since."-EI-
