the Mosaic and Encaustic Tile Layers National

fine their work to marble and slate cutting
alone, and give up the laying.
A conference on the matter will be held to-
morrow night. A suggestion already made,
that both bodies should unite, will be also dis

The Cannibals of the Oubanghi.

Father Augouard, Apostolic Pro-Vicat
of the Oubanghi, contributes to the
Missions Catholi9ues the narrative of a
journey which he has just made from
Loango to the Oubanghi, an afflueut of
the Congo. He states that it is his in
tention to found station upon the up
per Oubanghi, 100 miles from the
coast, among the anthropophago us tribes
with whom the slave is regarded simply
as an article of food He gives some
curious information as to these tribes, re-
marking that while in certain parts of
Africa cannibalism only exists on an in
cident of war, to deprive the vanquished
of even the honor of burial, in the Ou-
banghi country human flesh is an article
of regular consumption, not q day pass
ing without village immolating some
victim destined to provide feast.
Sometimes it is the death of chief, at
others the celebration of victory, at
others the arrival of piece of good news,
which serves as pretcxt, and one chief
will vie with another to see which can
immediate the most victims. These saw
ages regard human flesh as dainty
mo-sel, and prefer it to any other food,
considering that it is noble kind of
food, far superior to that of animals.
When told that 1t was horrible to eat
their fellow-creatures, they simply re-
piled: ''No, it is delicious with salt and
spices" When Father Augouard went
on to point out to them the difference
between man and the animals, and to say
that if they fell into the hands of their
enemies they might be eaten in their
turn, all they said was that that was the
fate of war, and that, just as man was
nobler than the animal, SO his flesh was
''more noble to cat - London Times.

The Strangest Fish in the World.

The straugest fish in the world is said
to be the humble herring. He is as
common as mud, and as cheap as dirt,
but he cannot be beaten for flavor; and
it is claimed for him that he supports
more persons than any other creature in
the world-in the catching, the preserv-
ing, the selling, or the eating. Another
curious thing is that he assumes so many
shapes and names. Catch him in. one
place and he is bloater; in another, q
sodger; in a third, a sprat, and, when
young, he is taken from the Thames and
called whitebait, while across the Chan
mel in Brittany, before he is more than a
couple of inches long, he can be found
timed and labeled in pure olive oil as a
sardine. He is wonderful fish and from
the out-and- out genuine ancient and fish.
like smell during the herring harvest
that obtains in the neighborhood about
Amsterdam, it is not very hard to believe
that that ancient and highly spectacle
town is really built, as they say, on her
ring bones.
Once upon time the herring used to
be worshiped in Holland, custom that
obtains to-day in Scotland in very prac-
teal manner. They have a cheerful
method at some of the fishing ports in
that country of insuring luck before they
start out with their boats on fishing
trip. Each man thrashes his wife, and
the one who first draws blood is sure to
have the biggest haul. For self-protec-
ton the women invented peculiar
method of lacing their corsets, which
thus became known as herring boning,
term now in everyday use among sea-
faring men. The men will not go out,
however, if woman wishes them "good
luck" or if a rabbit or pig crosses
their path, being perfectly sure that they
will have nothing but their labor for
their pains. .--NeD York Times.
