A Terrible Superstition.

The gnawing of the corpse of Tew-
fix Bay the brave commandant of Sin
kat, by the Arabs who slew him, has
been cited as proof of the latter's
wanton and brutal ferocity, but is
really due to very ancient and
curious superstition, viz. The belief
that eating the flesh of any man no
ted for valor transfers to tho eater all
his courage and fighting power Du-
ring the New Zealand war of 1S59-60,
the body of gallant English officer
was thus treated by a Maori chief,
who even preserved the skull as a
talisman, refusing large offers of ran
som from the dead mans relatives.
In one of the Swiss civil wars, the
heart of a Zurich burgomaster, famous
for his courage, was eaten by his STAY
ers in the hope of inheriting his
bravery. The same superstition, in
less repulsive form, figured very
striklngly at the siege of Stralsund
in the Thirty Years war. Count de
Merode-a man so famous for raplne
and outrage that the name of Merdeur
or maraudee, assumed by his soldiers,
is now the common term for brigand
died before the town, vowing in his
last delirium to enter it dead or alive.
When the assault was made, his men
carried the corpse up to the breach in
their arms, in the full belief that his
spirit would lead them on to victory;
and fresh supporters bore up the body
as fast as their predecessors were shot
down till at length a backward rush
of the assaulting columns hurled the
corpse and its bearers into the ditch,
and buried them under heap of slain.
