that whatever she does is good form,

Now, what the American woman wants

Waiting to BE Eaten.

OF the natives Of New Georgia or

flesh forms their chief article If diet. The
doctor observes. 1t is difficult to specu-
late on the reflections of the victim, as he
lives from day To day in constant eXpec-
tation of his fate There IS reason 10
believe that this expectation does not
produce the agOnlzing terror which most
Europeans under the circumstances
would experience. In the time not very
far distant, when cannibalisn prevailed
in New Zealand, it was occasionally, at
all events, the custom of a chief when
starting on a war expedition 10 take
with him, fastened together, number
of men whom he already held as cap
tives; these men served as living
Harder. Each of them knew that his
turn Ia be killed and eaten would come,
nevertheless with the certainty Of this
doom before him he partook OF each Of
his fellows whose death preceded his
own; and Capt. Wilkes, III his account
of his exploring expedition, stated that
King Thekambeau appropriated one OF
the small islands of the FIJI group as a
human preserve. Every man imprisoned
there knew that he would ultimately
serve as food for his majesty, and such
alike were the loyalty and indifference as
to death of these victims that, when
questioned by Capt Wilkes as to their
feelings on the matter they expressed u
kind Of acquiescence in their fate, and
used words to the effect that it was quite
proper that the king should be thus pro-
vided for. -Westmlnister Review.
