The end came at last, and 80 slowly

C6llnihalA

In the Northern parts Of Cana ia
there are still several Indian tribes who
eat human flesh, says the Vegetarian.
In Guiana and on the Orinoco we still
find Caribbeans who have the honor Of
having furnished the name for that
horrible custom of eating human flesh.
Cannibal comes from Caribs, or Carl
bales, corruptions of Galibis, or Canibis,
the name of the inhabitants of the An
titles when Columbus arrived there.
On the Upper Amazon, between the
river and the borders of Bolivia, live
the Tupis Guaranieus, who manifest a
liking for human flesh. Cannibals are
common in Australasia, the Papuans,
Kanrkiens, and Battakiens being the
most distinguished. There are more
human flesh eaters in Africa than any
where else. Cannibalism is not sign
of low state of civilization, for many
cannibal races stand higher in culture
Many cannibals live in regions filled
with ordinary food, but they prefer hu-
man flesh as a delicacy, the men for
bidding their wives and slaves to eat it.
In Northern Australia it seems that
the dead are eaten. Herodutus tells
us that 1t was the custom in India FOX
the young to kill the old and eat them,
to insure their future salvation, and we
are told that the old folks desire to be
killed before they grew too old and less
appetizln1.

~ the French Republic.

4 sv.t.m More Complete Even Than Iha'
of the French Republic.
"The secret service of the French
Republic is generally considered the
most perfect spy system in the Worla,
said travelling man to a writer ioi
the Washington Star, "but in my hum
BILE opinion the department Of private
intelligence supported by Mexico sur
passes it both in extent and intricacy.
A couple of years ago was accidently
permitted to get an insight into its
workings, and was astounded. one
would imagine that great private de-
tective agency would be a necessity
only in a country like Russia, where
the life of the ruler is constantly
threatened, but down in Mexico there
is system Of espionage that extends
to every part of it. The motives OF
every public man in Mexico are not
only perfectly well known to the gov.
ernment, but every visitor is subject n
scrutiny. 1t was President Dlaz who
first established the chain of secrecy
that now holds all the people to its
links Every now and then one will
be surprised to see body of Mexican
troops hurried off to some remote place
in far-off state. None will know the
reason, but the fact will soon become
known that the government has pre-
vented an embryo revolution from
gaining strength and force. A con-
siderable number of Americans resid:
ing in Mexico do so because the law
will make it unpleasant for them in
their native places. The Mexican
secret service has the record of each of
these, and if any of them shows two
much activity in Mexican affairs there
is an arrest, the United States author
tiles are notified and extradition of the
prisoner follows. Such case occurred
only a few days ago. A man named
John Horley has been residing in
Monterey for several years, and is
prominent. Some time ago he took a
great interest in having Sutler, who
was wanted in Austin, extradited.
Horley was arrested under orders sent
from Mexico City. 1t turns out that
Horley did something out in this coun-
try twelve years ago, and is still
wanted to answer the charge. Yes,
sir, the Mexican secret service is the
greatest of them all, and its ramifica
tions extend everywhere over the re-
public, and good ways on this side of
the border"

Hottest Spot in America.

'It is not generally known that the
