OF the natives of New Georgia or
Rubiana, Capt. Cheyne AYERS that human
flesh forms their chief article of 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 to
believe that this expectation does not
produce the agonlzing terror which most
Europeans under the circumstances
would experience. In the time not verv
far distant, when cannbalism prevailed
in New Zealand, it was occasionally, at
all events, the custom of chief when
starting on a war expedition to take
with him, fastened together, number
of men whom he already held as cap
Eves; these men served as living
larder. Each of them knew that his
turn to 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, in 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 a
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. Westminster Review.

To prevent the blood from settling
under q bruise there is nothing TO com
pare with the tincture of a strong in
fusion of capsicum annuum mixed with
an equal bulk of mucilage OF gum ara
bic, and with the addition of few
drops Of glyeerine. This should be
painted all over the surface with
canleTs hair pencil and allowed to dry
on, second or third coating being APP
piled as soon as the first is dry. If done
as soon as the injury Is inflicted this
treatment will invariably prevent the
blackening Of the bruised tissue. The
same remedy has no equal in rheu-

the instant application Of hot water, or
