EATING THnIR ENEMIES.
Canntbniisni PracIiced Among tho
Indians of british Columbia,

hhuiunb OF Brittsh columbia.
CHICAGO, June ga. E. Reaham OF
Victoria, b. o., who is now 10 this city, had
remarkable experience with the Nahwitti
Indians few weeks ago. During hunt
Ing trip In British Columbia" hS said, i've
accidentally ran across tribe OF the
Nahwitti Indians III the midst OF cannibal
feast. While cannlbalism Is prohibited BY
the Dominion government so little palms
are taken to carry out this law that the
savages still follow their old customs.
when we came upon the Indians they
wers having wild time. In the centre was
an immense log fire and about the blaze
were some half hundred savages dressed
and painted In tho brightest colors. There
were several naked dancers and about q
dozen were beating accomplishments to
their weird songs. Every little while the
IRE would flare up and fresh meat would
A be thrown upon the logs. Three or four
y bodies were cooked and saten while we
Y were there and Was afraid that there was
not enough to go around and that some OF
Us would be chosen, but they seldom kill
Htrangers.
"Theselrndlans are continually fighting
among themselves and there are always
three or four bodies ready for the feast
When we were noticed oue OF the braves
pointed to us and denounced the govern.
ment for forbidding them from eating their
dead. As he talked OF the bad treatment
shown the Indians the savages became ex-
cited and more than once we came near
being thrown on the burning logs. Two OF
the braves made q dash for us but the old
chiefs restrained them from violence. All
night long the Indians kept up their orgies
and when morning came you can bet that
( we got out with haste"

The fact that Mrs. Harrison did not

what il an Orchta3

In reply to Communication asking as
to what properly constitutes an orchid
the editor of Garden and Forest writes
as follows: All orchids are not ''air.
plants" SO called. Our native Bpecieu,
without exception, grow in the ground,
although many of those which flourish
in tho tropics and which are cultivated in
temperate countries under glass receive
their nourishment from the moisture in
the air. Plants of the orchid family
differ from all others in the ar
rangement of their organs OF repro
duction, which are united into a column
composed Of single, or, in case OF the
lady's slipper, of two stamens coherent
with or borne on the style or thick iieshy
stigma. The perianth of the flower is
composed of six divisions, arranged in
two sets, each of three. The three outer
divisions are called oepals, aud often re-
semble In texture and color those of
the Inner set, called petals.
Ono of the inner set of these
divisions differs from the others
in shape and direction, and is called the
lip-the sack of the lady's slipper. This
is really the upper petal-that Is, the
one next to the axis of the flower-but
by half twist of the ovary it is made to
appear as if 1t were the lowest. These
elements--sepals, petals, lip and column
varied almost without limit in form and
color, combine to produce the almost in
finite number of widely differing forms
which are 30 fascinating in their oddly,
quaintness and beauty. Orchids are
found in all warm and temperate parts of
the world, although they are more
abundant in the tropics than elsewhere.
They are perennial plants, often with
tuber- bearing roots, and the peculiar
structure of their flowers renders impos.
sible their unaided fertilization, for which
they depend on the visits OF insects.

GoMpBRs REPLIES



is War Ahead.
Anew York correspondent writes Mr..
Samuel Gompers, president OF the Amer.
loan Federation of Labor, has replied
Informally to the severe attack made upon
him by MIR. Powderly in his Cooper
Union speech. Mr.. Gompers applies
almost the same words to the chief OF
the Knights OF Labor which the latter
applied to him, when he says in reference
to one of Powderly's statements that it
ia deliberate lis" He also says that
the grand master workman's statements
regarding tho membership OF the Fedora
tion OF Labor were grossly incorrect, and
asserts that 600, 900 members aeknowi-
edge allegiance to the organization. He
accuses the Knights Of Labor with hav-
ing assisted employers whose men had
struck denounoes Powderly as opposed
to the eight-hour movement, and chArac-
terizes him and his "medi@val and i'm
ported" organization as "baok numbers"
He charges against Mr.. Powderly and
the Knights of Labor the treaohery
and undermining with which Mr.. Com
pers and his organization were accused
by Mr.. Powdsrly, and announces that he
is ready for war. The acrimonious
character of the controversy between
these two labor leaders indicate that
there will be war, and plenty Of it, unless
the general welfare of tie labor cause il
put first and personal feeling second.
That this should be done is plain, but
that it will be done is improbable.
