Eat Their Parents. azs ss.:.., Ess.s

A ceremony exists among the tribes of
the interior OF Sumatra, which is, with
out doubt, the survival of an ancient and
very cruel custom, that has passed in the
course of time into civil and religious
duty. These people. although of rather
gentle disposition, piously and ccremoni-
ously kill and eat their aged parents in
the belief that they are performing a
sacred duty. At the appointed day the
old man who is destined to be eaten goes
up into tree. at the foot of which are
gathered the relatives and friends of the
family. They strike the trunk of the tree
III cadence and sing funeral hymn.
Then the old man descends, his nearest
relatives deliberately kill him and the at
tendants eat him.

What is the Reason :?

Simply that Mrs. Briggs has
more than she can attend to
and is obliged to sacrifice this
place. Where is it? 1t is To-
Gated in Sacramento County,
on the American River, and
consists Of 191 acres, u miles
from the Sacramento and Fol-
som Railroad and 10 miles
from Sacramento. 1t consists
Of $50 acres all in full bearing
muscat grapes; has a residence
Of 7 rooms, good dryer for dry
ing grapes, and a water right,
which irrigates the whole
place.
This place was selected by G.
G. Briggs, who was consid-
cred one of the best horticul-
turists in the State at his time.
He selected the best varieties Of
raisin grapes and superin-
tended planting them. The
place has cost over $4,000,
and it cannot be duplicated in
this State. 1t must be sold
within 80 days. There is only
$4,000 required to be paid in
cash, balance can stand and be
paid out Of the proceeds from
the ranch.
There were over eight car
loads Of raisins Of over "a, 900
pounds each shipped from this
place this year, besides the
large number that were sold
for the market. 1t is no exaq-
geratiOn to state that an indus
trious, frugal man can 60 upon
the place and pay for it out Of
the net proceeds in three years.
Investigation will prove our
assertion to be correct. The
soil is as well adapted for rails
inS as any in this State.

ceived but one treatment when two
were necessary.
The investigation shows that there
were only two furnaces for the treat
ment of plates and bolts at the works
up to Sent. l, 1892. After this third
furnace was completed and used. These
three furnaces did all the work UP to
Aug. l, 1893, when fourth was added.
After information of the frauds prac-
tised in the works was given to the
Navy Department, and penalty ex-
acted by the decision OF the President,
other furnaces were added, until to-day
ten are in use.
at will be noted, however" adds the
report, that the contract OF Nov. 20,
1890 provided for the manufacture of II
far greater amount of armor than the
contract OF Feb. rs. 1898, no penalties
being exacted for the failure to deliver
specified amounts at specified times.
when the contract OF Feb. 2S was sign
cd, the Company was far behind In It's
delivery under the first contract. Its
three furnaces were entirely inadequate
to carry out the provisions Of that con
tract, yet for f1ve months they had only
three furnaces In which to do the work
required by all the contracts.
This, In the view of the committee
clearly indiactes one OF the motives OF
the superintendent OF the press shop
and armor plate department In making
false reports of the treatment OF the
plates and bolts to the government In
