thrown back and his nose projecting
on n level with his forehead, thus Sc

This renders him II dangerous enemy,
as he will receive any number of balls
from a small gun in the throat and

The lives of these two interesting
though not beautiful young women
have been devoted to self-culturc at
home. Their education has been and
is still closely supervised by their
mother, who was a school-teacher in
Cleveland, Ohio, when John D. Rookie
Teller, then a bookkeeper on a small
salary. married her. Miss: Alta spent
some time at Mrs. Life's seminary at
Rye, N. Y, and Edith is now taking n
special advanced course at Ogontz
Seminary, near Philadelphia. Mrs.
Strong is the only one of the sisters
who went to Va,sar.
Alta and Edith are accomplished mu-
sicians and linguists. Edith is an
omnivorous reader and both are well
acquainted with modern literature and
the standard English authors Alta
has paid special attention to her French
studies, and Edith prefers German. The
onnge sister has studied the Japanese
language, too,and at n time was am
bilious to go to that country as II Bap-
fist missionary. Alta is a fine pianist,
while her sister has devoted herself to
the violin and cello. The father is
an exceptionally good amateur on the
violin.

Mr.. Moors settled down on the island,
which is named Nassau, and devoted
his life to improving the condition OF
the cannibals and incidentally his
own.
1t is well known that the flesh of
swine very closely resembles that of
human beings. All persons who have
tasted of both agree to this. 1t was
therefore not difficult for Mr.. Moors
to persuade the natives to make this
slight change in their diet. In a short
time the cannibals were so far reformed
in their tastes that they absolutely re-
fused to eat a relative nearer than first
cousin. This limit was further extend
ed until at length Mr.. Moors had
eradicated human flesh from the saw
age Hill of fare.
He then turned his attention to rails
