Man-Eating in Sumatra.

Marsden, in his account of Sumatra,
saws that, although he had heard reports
of the cannibal habits of some of the
tribes, he had always dircredited
them until the truth of the statement
was made entirely clear to him. He
saws that the Battas. one of the peoples
of Sumatra, eat human flesh regularly,
not to satisfy the cravings of hunger.
but as a sort of ceremony to show their
detestation of certain crimes by this
most ignominious punishment. and as
a savage display of revenge and insult
to their unfortunate enemies. People
killed or badly wounded by them in
war are eaten, and the captured sold
as slaves. These same Battas show a
certain amount of culinary art in the
preparation of this food for they broil
the flesh over q brisk fire, and flavor it
with salt, lemon, and red pepper.
: A friend of the writer's, who for
more than forty years has been in the
employ of the Dutch Government. bears
personal witness to the prevalence OF
the custom in Sumatra up till recent
times. He was once making scientific
investigations in the interior OF that Is
land, and was being entertained in the
most hospitable manner by the native
rajah, or chief. of the place he was
then in. A feast had been made to
which he was hidden, and to which he
went, taking his own native servant
with him. The banquet had proceeded
for some time without interruption,
when at last, as crown of the feast, a
beautiful brown roast joint was brought
from the back of the house to the open.

Deciding on a Disease by Ballot

We were about three miles from Nat
chez, when we heard great shouting
and wailing in a negro's cabin by the
roadside, and it was decided to dis
mount and 60 in. Il was a tumble
down structure with but single room,
and into this were crowded sixteen or
eighteen colored people, mostly of the
female sex. On a heap of straw on the
clav floor was sick woman. She was
rolling her eyes and writhing as if suf-
fering great pain. When asked what
allied her, an old white-haired negro,
who was called doctor" by the others,
replied:
..Dat's iist what we doan' agree on.
Some says it's de bilyus collie, an some
says it's the gallopin' consumpshun. y"
"Why, man, something ought to be
done for her right away"
"Zactly, sah-'zactly, an Ize de

"But why don't you?"
"Kaze lie boxed up. sab. 1 nebber
gin de same medicine fur gallopin'
consumpshun dat do fur bilyus collie,
an until we kin decide on de silment
doan' dare 60 ahead"
We were on our horses and ready to
move off when the old man came out
with a happier look on his face and
said:

tism by one majority. lie gwine right

Why He Objected.

Judge Bigincome sat down to the
dinner-table, and, after being helped,
asked his wife:
MARY, who is that freak OF nature /
saw in the back yard?"
THAT is the new coachman l engag-
ed this afternoon.
'Why he's humpbacked and will look
like toad sitting upon the chine OF
water-logged barrel!'
Perhaps so."
"And he's got bias in one eye that
would arouse the sympathy ofeven Ben
Butler"
81 noticed that"
'And his mouth looks like the hopper
of sausage grinder. his nose seems to
be retiring from business. and his ears
are the size of the cinder-feDders on a
Pullman ear!
81 agree with you. But why do you
object to those items, Judge?"
'Why, madam? Because l don't
propose that one of my daughters shall
marry a combination side-show! l, at
least, have the privilege of wishing
that my son-in-law can 60 about with
his wife in good society without his
very looks giving people acute neural
gia of the optic nerves and frightening
timid parties into possible catastro-
phe!'
The freak got his walking-papers
right away.-Atlantd Cracker.

The Suns Supply.

From an illustrated article on "The
SUMS Energy" by S. p. Langley, in the
December Century. we quote the fol-
lowing: .'How is this heat maintainedp
Not by the miracle of a perpetual, self
sustained flame, We may be sure. But,
then, by what fuel is such fire fedP
There can be no question of simple
burning, like that of coal in the CRATE,
for there is no source of supply ade-
quate to the demand. The State of
Pennsylvania, for instance. is under
laid by one of the richest coal-fields Of
the world, capable of supplying the
consumption of the whole country at
Its present rate for more than thsus-
and years to come. If the source Of
the solar heat (whatever that is) were
withdrawn, and We were enabled to
carry this coal there and shoot it into
the solar furnace fast enough to keep
up the known heat-supply, so that the
solar radiation would 60 on at just its
actual rate. the time which this coal
would last is easily calculable. 1t
would not last days or hours, but the
whole of these coal-beds would demon
strably be. used up in rather less than
one one-thousandth of a second! We
find by a similar calculation that if the
sun were itself one solid block of coal,
it would have burned out to the last
cinder in less time than man has GER
tainly been on the earth. But during
historic times there has as surely been
no noticeable diminution of the SUM- 8
heat, for the olive and the vine grow
just as they did three thousand years
ago, and the hypothesis Of an actual
burning becomes untenable. 1t has
been supposed by some that meteors
striking solar surface might generate
heat by their impact, just as cannon
ball fired against an armor-plate causes
q flash of light, and heat so sudden
and intense as to partly melt the ball
at the instant of conclusion. This is
probably a real source of heat-supply
as far as it goes, but it cannot go very
far; and, indeed, if our whole world
should fall upon the solar surface like
an immense projectile, gathering speed
as il fell. and finally striking (as it
would) with the force due to a rate OF
over three hundred miles a second, the
heat developed would supply the sun
for but little more than sixty years"

PREFERRED LOCALS.

Marshall & Co., proprietors of the steam
laundry in the Driscol building, on Columbia
street, are progressive nen and up with the
times. So me time ago they procured the SER
vices Of Mr.. Ware, who has been in charge
of old-estsblished lsundries at Troy, n. Y,
and in England, where the business has
reached the greatest perfection, and having
introduced his methods, fiatter themselves and
congratulate their numerous patrons that they
are now prepared to do better work than ever
before, and with promptness. They employ
eleven persons in the various departments of
the laundry, and have procured the latest ap-
plrances in the way OF machinery, making
this the leading establishment in this part Of
the country. Marshall l. Co. have established
depots, for collection and delivery of gar
ments, throughout the city, and their wagons
are kept busy. The work done by them
causes the least wear and tear of clothing, and,
by the system practiced, few or 10 mistakes
are made. Housekeepers and gentlemen not

Fer the past past nine days, the guests at
the Lagonda House have missed the little
form and childish prattle of little Earle
Fookes, the five year old son of Mr.. II. e.
Fookes, travelling salesman and secretary of
the Travellers Protective Association, who,
with his family, consisting of wife and one
child, has been boarding at the House. One
week ago last Tuesday the little fellow
was taken sick, but up to day or
two ago, it was not thought serious.
Unexpected symptoms set in, however. and
this morning, at fifteen minutes before nine
O'Clock, the spirit of the little innocent child
departed for the better land. Mr.. Fookes
buried one child few years ago, and Earle,
the ONLY remaining child, was the idol of his
parents. he was a very bright and pretty
child, and was liked and petted by all the
puests, and he will be sadly missed. The re-
mains will be taken, this afternoon at 8: 80,
to Hartwell, Ohio, where Mrs. Fookes's par
ents reside.

A Frenchman who had more wit than
money invented for himself a most in
genious mode of filling his pockets.
The French law allows any man TO rec
ognize a child as his heir, and his doing
so gives name and legitimate standing
to the recipient. The nobleman in
question looks out for wealthy illegiti-
mate children, and consents TO father
them for a sum down and sum set

ton. His family is growing consider

The new Arcade restaurant, located in the
room formerly occupied by the American
Express Company, will be completed to-
morrow evening, and on Saturday morsing
will be opened to the eating public. The
room is probably the most elegantly papered
in the city, and all the fixtures are in
harmony with it. A railroad restaurant
is a thing that has been needed in this
city for many years, and Mr.. Rockheld will
have the thsnks Of the travelling public for
his efforts to accommodate them. Arrange
ments have been made oy which several
