HOW sAVAGES EAT.

Curious Customs Of Seml-CivilizOd an0

guests partal1e of meals while collected
around central board, but thu b NOT
80 with the majority or even Q fraction
of the semi-civilized and barbarous ma
tons. The Maldivian Islanders dino
alone, retiring to the most secret parts
of their huts for the purpose Of eating
their food This custom probably arose
among them In an early period in their
history, for fear, perhaps. that another
with equally as sharp an appetite and
more bodily strength would deprive the
feaster of his meal
The coasters Of the Fiji Islands will
not eat until they can sit fiat upon the
ground directly over triangle made OF
three small fish bones; then they only
handle the food with the left hand.
The inhabitants Of the interior Of the
same islands will not partake Of food
while cloud Is in sight, especially Il
the cloud lies in the west, fearing thnH
the "Great Air Whale, whose below
ing (thunder) is often heard in that
country, will pounce upon and utterly
annihilate them for such irreverence.
Unlike the Msldivians, the natives Of
the Philippines are sociable TO an extre'
ordinary degree. Whenever one ot
them finds himself without companion
to partake of his meal he runs till he
meets with one; and am assured that
however keen his own appetite may Be
he will not venture TO satisfy 1t without
q companion.
The natives Of Sakaria never partake
of food while on the ground, but sling
the meal into woven grass bag and
mount to the thick foliage ut the top Of
some high tree, where the meal is eaten
in solitary silence.
The Otaheiteans, although great low
ers of society and very gentle in their
manners, feed separately from each
other, each particular member OF the
family taking his or her basket and
turning with back to all others in the
room.
The Dyaks divide in pairs when the
hour arrives for taking food; the father
and mother at one platter, two sisters
at one and still two brothers at an
other. When the family is not equally
divided Us to sex brother and sister

 The Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association met in Russellvllle, Feb. I2, 1892.
 The president, w. J. White, being absent, the meeting was called to or der by Vicepresident l.. D. Bryant.
 The object of tue meeting was to try and perfect plans with the farm CTS and fruit growers to adopt the plan of shipping fruit and vegeta- bes by the American Refrigerator Transit Co.,, they to furnish cars es- pecially arranged for the shipping of fruit to distant points and guar antee it's safe and sound delivery, for much less freight than we have heretofore paid.
 The all absorbing question Of cotton raising was discussed fully and sufficiently to satisfy all present that there is an over. production of cotton.
 The question of fruit and vegeta- bleraising and shipping was then he topic of discussion. Judge G W. Berryman made quite sn inter esting speech on the subject. Mir. Frazier Moore theL followed suit with zeal that should not be for gotten. Several others gave their views on the question. It was agreed to plant tomato seeds this week in sufficient quanti ty to set 50 or 60 acres, and to pre- pare for the planting of beans, corr and other vegetables suitable fol shipping.
 A committee was then appointed to draft constitution and by-law' for the Association. composed of G W. Berryman. o. H. Bettis and G. G Vim.
 The secretary was then ordered t' procure books, paper. etc, for thu purpose of keeping minutes, enroll ing nam es, etc.

Luther Benson. the Temperance
 Advocate.

We find the following item in one of our exchanges:
 Luther Benson, the celebrated temperance orator, has been entered as a patient at the Keeley Branch Institute. For the past three years he has been on the Pacific slope, but recently he and his family re- turned to Indianapolis. Benson celebrated his return to Hoosier soil by round of dissipation, and he tried to extenuate his conduct by claiming that he could no more re- sist the "tiger of strong drink" as he describes it, than he could hy.'
 Benson will be remembered in RusselIyiile as one of the most vivid word painters that ever visited this town. There was something mex. pressibiy thrilling about hls tenn perance oratory. His book, "Fifteen n ears in HeII," had a wide circula- ton. In conversation with a Dwight egraduate" in Little Rock the writ CT was told that Benson had been cured by the bi-chloride process.

Donovan, president of the board of trade. at his Second avenue residence last evening. Gen. Jones is a guest in Detroit of his ne!ccs. Mrs. Donovan and Mrs. F. J. Schwahkovsky, and Mir. Donovan took this way of bringing him in contact with Detroit's men of affairs. The beautiful home was expressly prepared for the occasion with floral decorations. Among the large number of well known citizcns who paid their respects to the general were James w. Flynn, Homer Warren, Duncan Stewart, Jr., Chas. F. Beck, 5. $. Babcock, Col. F. W. Swift, J.

The usual light re treatments were served in the ante room.
 A scene of unusual interest was the greeting between Gen. Jones and the venerable ex-Gov. Felch, who came here purposcly to greet his old friend. When Coy. Felch was announced the general rose. For 2 moment they stood and surveyed the changes time had wrought. then rushed into each others arms. All the warmth that a thirty-two years' separation could en- gender was concentrated into that em- brace. The two patriarchs were col leagues in the United States senate in 1859, and this was their first meeting since that year. Needless to say rem lniscenses flowed thick and fast be- tween them the remainder of the eyen ing.
