Fine Points in Cannibalism.

It was formerly supposed that the
relish with which certain savage tribes
ate their enemies arose from the gratif-
cation of the passion of revenge. With
in the last few years, however, it has
been clearly shown that some of the bar
barian man-eaters are really fond of hu-
man flesh for its own sakc--that they
enjoy it as civilized epicure enjoys
turtle soup or roasted ortolans. Your
Fiji Islander thinks the greatest praise
he can bestow upon any edible is to say
that it is "as tender ns n dead man"
The Fijians have plenty of provisions,
but they consider "long pig'-their
pleasant name for human flesh-much
finer than pork, beef or mutton.
The New Zealanders, on the other
hand, do not consider mans flesh as q
delicacy, but eat dead heroes and "wise
men" (whether they have been friends OF
enemies makes no difference), with the
idea that they imbibe the valor and in
tellectual qualities of the deceased dur
ing the process.
The "noble savage" of Terra del
Fuego never eats any of his own people,
except when other meat is remarkably
scarce, although always ready to "take
in" the shipwrecked stranger. In severe
winters, if we are to believe the story OF
British admiral (Fitzroy), the Terra
del Fuegons, "when they can obtain nc
other food, take the Oldest woman OF
their party, hold her head over thick
smoke, made by burning green wood
and, pinching her throat, choke her,
after which she is served up to hel
friends. The barbarians, on being asked
why they did not eat their dogs instead
of their old ladies, naively answered that
their dogs caught otters, but that thcil
venerable grandmothers and aunts die
not.
Probably the majority of even tht
lowest order of savages prefer fish auC
yams to human flesh, but it is neverthe
less true that there are several tribes il
Australasia, Africa and the South SCI
islands that actually banker after it
There is some consolation, however
in the assurance given us by traveller
that most of these anthropophagi prefe
colored persons to Caucasians as tabl
luxuries. This fact is certainly encour
aging TO the missionary interest.-Nel

Ancient Inks.

The ink first used probably was some
natural animal pigment, such as the
black fluid obtained from various species
of cuttlefish; but the limited supply of this
material soon led to the use of chemical
mixture of water, gum and hanback,,
and the characters were painted rather
than written, by means of broad
pointed reed.
AS ink of this simple nature was easily
removed from the surface of the parch-
ment by the mere application of moisture,
it was carly found necessary to contrive
some means of forming a more durable
ink, and for this purpose the expedient
was adopted Of treating the mixture with
some substance such as vinegar, of the
nature of a mordaut, which would pene-
trate the parchment written upon, and
form an ink not liable to fade.
A chemical dye, consisting of an in
fusion of gals with suIphate of iron, was
afterward used, as from its vitrious ma
ture it hit into the medium employed
but compound vegetable ink, contain
ing a good deal of carbon pigment, was
subsequently adopted, and was very
generally employed down to the middle
ages.
With ink Of this sort the best and mos
ancient manuscripts which have been pre-
served to us were written, aud the sepa
rate leaves, after being allowed to dr.
slowly, were bound together in vol
umes.

writers, give receipts for tho manufac

Meighing Machines.

Weighing machines aud scales Of some
kind were in use 1900 B. c., for it is
said that Abraham at that time weighed
out" 400 shekcls of silver, current money,
with the merchant to Ephron, the Hit
tite, as payment for piece OF land, in
Guiding the cave and all the standing
timber Sin the field and in the fence"
This is said to be the earliest transfer of
land of which any record survives, and
that the payment was made in the pres
ence of witnesses. The original form of
the weighing scale was probably bar
suspended from the middle, with board
or she'll suspended from each end, one to
contain the weight, the other to contain
the matter to be weighed The steel
yard was probably so called from the ma
terial of which it was made, and from its
former length. 1t is also known as the
Roman balance, and is OF great antiquity.

The Scientific american declares that
''the need of fast war vessels was we'll
illustrated by the recent incident in the
harbor of San Diego, CAL, when Chilian
cruiser belonging to the insurgents en.
tered the bay, anchored, took on board
recruits, supplies of provisions, ammu-
milton, and then sailed away. This ship,
under the laws of nations, was in fact
piratical vessel, aud as such was seized
by the Government authorities at San
Diego, and United States vessel placed
on board and in possession. But the
Chilian rebels paid no attention to the
laws of the United States; they may be
said to have captured the place. When
they had obtained all the supplies they
wanted to assist them in carrying on war
against a friendly nation, they upheaved
anchor aud steamed away, carrying off as
a prisoner the official represen tative of
the great republic. This was small ship
called the ltata, carrying four guns.
There is nothing to prevent the Chilian
rebels from sending in other boats to
capture or lombard San Diego or other
towns along the coast. Indeed, while
the Itata was taking on supplies at San
Diego, other vessels of the rebels were
lowering outside the harbor. We have
no navy worthy OF the name, and nearly
all our seaports are without proper de-
fenses. Like San Diego, they are at the
mercy of any single piratical boat that
} chooses to enter. This is very humil-
iating position for country like ours to
- placed in. All told, we have a pair
Of small torpedo boats, half dozen or
so of small cruisers, and an equal num-
Der of larger vessels. There should be
fifty ships where now there are one.
Every harbor in the country should be
guarded by efficient sentinels consisting
OF vessels of high speed, ready for in
staut action, to maintain and enforce tue
arthority of the republic" !"

A Rose Question.

In one of the pretty home gardens at
Bay st. Louis, where the roses grow aud
blow uuInolested by fashion and the
tangled names that fashion iny,nts
for them, there is in bloom a rose tree
with eccentric flowers. 1t is sweet
scented damask rose, next OF kin prob
ably to the new, imperious "AmerioaR.
Beauty The tree is covered with
large, lovely roses in full bloom, and
from the heart OF each rose, growing up
above the petals on a single stalk; is a
cluster OF three or four little immaturely
formed roses, Every rose on the tree Is
thus sprouting this most curious freak of
nature. The second growth Of roses
does not come to perfect flowers, but the
wizzen, weak, Informed flowers growing
from the heart OF the mother rose are
singularly sweet in perfume. Can any

WISE WORDS.

The more important an animal is to be
the lower is its start. Man, the noblest,
is born the lowest.
Without seeking, truth cannot be
known at all and seeking it can be dis
covered by the simplest.
Grief is not to be measured by the tears
shed, nor does the loudest mourner de-
serve the largest bequest.
Every incomplete work is a monument
to human folly. Whatever is worth be-
ginning is worth ending.
She was regal, she was naughty, she
was highborn and Distinguished and like
the rest of us, she was clay.
In things pertaining to enthusiasm no
man is sane who does not know how to
be insane on proper occasions.
1t is the crushed grape that gives out
the blood red wine; it is the suffering
soul that breathes the sweetest melodies.
Each man can learn something from
his neighbor; at least he can learn this
to have patience with his neighbor, to
live and let live.
Think you that judgement waits till
the doors of the grave are opened3 1t
waits at the doors of your houses, 1t waits
at the corners of your streets.
IT'S nature has fashioned some for am
bition and dominion, and it has formed
Others for obedience and submission.
The leopard follows his nature as the
lamb.
Good thoughts are blessed guests, and
should be heartily welcomed, well fed
aud much sought after. Like rose leaves,
they give out sweet smell if laid up in
the jar OF memory.
Life is not made up of great sacrifices
or duties, but of little things, in which
smiles and kindness and small obligations
given habitually are what preserve the
heart and secure comfort.
To be full of goodness, full of cheer
fulness, full of sympathy, full of helpful
hope; causes a man to carry blessings Of
which he is himself as unconscious as a
lamp is of its own shining.
Nothing can leasen the dignity and
value of humanity so long as the relig-
ion of love, OF unselfshness and devotion
endures; and none can destroy the altars
of this faith for us so long as we feel
ourselves still capable of love.

Inquiry into the subject of explosions
in mines being caused by dry coal dust
has led to some very valuable expert
ments and plans for clearing the galleries
Of foul air. One of these consists in
moving open water butts Through the
affected ! al les. The coal smut col
lects in the ater, and the air is thereby
cleared before the danger limit is

A new apparatus for water has ap-
peared in the form of a still, which is de-
;cribed as consisting of "a series of large
Hat disks of metal, placed upright and
Kept in position by pipes running hori-
sontally on the top and bottom. Water
Is boiled in a vessel and the steam is con-
1ucted from the same to the dish through
pipe. The steam ra' ng from the
water is condensed in the disks by a cur
rent of air and the water is collected in
the bottom pipe" The size of still de-
signed for family use has eight disks and
is said to distil a gallon of water in an
hour.
Professor r. A. F. Penrose, Jr., of the

fire brick, earthenware, and even fine
china ware, are to be found abundantly

engaged making pottery at Athens in
Henderson County. The articles manu-
featured are fine brick, tiles, sewer pipes,
jugs, etc. The clay at this point is of a
light gray color, becoming almost white
when dry. Equally fine clays abound
near jefferson, in Marion County, and
near RuslS, in Cherokee County. 1t is
thought good openings are offered over
there for manufacturing the finest oi
