MISS lole FULLER
Passes Through Augusta En- Route Tor Skow
hogan Tor Her Health.

Miss Loie Fuller is very i'll, and is
now at Skowhegan recuperating from
what appears to be very bad case of
nervous prostration. She has COM
pietely broken down. and even the
sound Of her own voice pains her, and
she speaks only in whispers.
She arrived In Augusta, Saturday. by
the Della Collins. accompanied by DR..
Frank H. Bigelow of Skowhegan,
whittier she was going to recuperate
during the coming months. She came
by boat. because of her being unable
to stand the noise of the cars. all the
distance, and when finally at Augusta,
she finished her journey from Boston
by the train, she was panied at the
sound Of the approach of the cars
She was met by a Journal reporter
at the arrival of the Della Collins.
She could say very little, but expressed
herself as greatly impressed with the
striking scenery along the Kennebec
river.
Miss Fuller is Spiritulist. she says,
and to some supernatural power, she
attributes her extraordinary dancing.
Her recent tulip dance certainly is of
the most wonderful description and yet
it is beyond description, for it has to be
seen to be appreciated. One of her
dresses consists of 500 yards the ends
of the folds of this dress while she is
whirling around like a top. flow out on
all sides, in beautiful colored waves
1t is called the tulip dance Others has
she, which no others attempt and she
can safely be called the greatest dancer
of the day.
She left for Skowhegan in the after
noon, after passing a few hours very
quietly at the Cony house. DIR. Bige-
low says that she will not be able to
appear en- the stage anyway before the
fall. When asked if the cause of her
trouble was due to dancing, he said
that 1t was not: as it was cares, and
anxieties which had brought about her
illness.

Peonle who Eat nair.

1t is difficult to imagine people eating
hair, but there are many, especially
girls and young women, who do so. as
experience proves. Doctors conducting
post mortem examinations have been
surprised to find large quantity of
hair in the stomach Of the deceased per-
son.
Not long ago an English medical
man found as much as four pounds of
hair in the stomach of woman about
80 years old, and similar cases have
been officially reported from various
parts of the world.
DR.. Swain lately performed an oper-
alton for tumor, when, to his astonish-
ment, the cause Of complaint was a
mass of hair weighing between -four
and five pounds.
In this case the patient confessed that
she had contracted a habit of biting off
the ends of her hair, inst as some bite
their finger nails. Pearson S Weekly.

MEN WORSE THAN APES.
Revolving Customs of Some of the African
CannibaI Tribes.


The cannibalism of the black secret
society known as the Human Leopards
in the country near Sierra Leone brings
forcibly before rs the difference between
the east African and west African hab-
its of eating human flesh. The Sherbo
cannibals waylaid and killed their vic
Tins and afterward Toasted ON their
flesh. The cannibalism Of the east coast
is Of very different kind. The flesh Of
the old people-the grandfather and
grandmother of family-is dried and
mixed with condiments, and a portion
Of this is offered. with a dim sort of
sacramental meaning. to travellers who
become guests of the family To refuse
it would be deadly insult To accept
it is passport 10 the privileged position
Of friend of the house. Many of our
travellers in east Africa have eaten thus
sacramentally of the ancestors Of some
dark skinned potentate.
The cannibalism of the west coast is
Of a more horrible kind. connected with
fetichism, the worst developments OF
which are peculiar to that country. But
there is hideously genuine appetite for
fresh human flesh still existing among
the negroes of west Africa. Ihis canni
balism manifests itself in a refinement
of gluttony which has its mild analogy
in the tastes of Europeans. Young boys
are bought from the dark interior, kept
in pens, fattened upon bananas and fin
ally killed and baked. TO these Thyes-
team feasts come not only the savage
chiefs of the interior, but also, it is
whispered, black merchants from the
coast. Men who appear at their places
of business in English territory in broad
cloth and tall hats, who ape the man
ners of their white masters, are said to
disappear annually into the interior,
where, we are told, they might be seen
in naked savagery taking part in the
banquets on plump boys, in which they
delight.
Be this as it may, somehow the native
of the west coast and its Hinterland is
unlike the East or South African native
in the deep lying savagery and the ex-
traordinary facility for returning to it
which are his leading and very unpleas-
ant characteristics. The subject claims
the attention of the anthropologist, and
certainly suggests a curious reason for
questioning the relationship of the black
man and the ape or the gorilla, seeing
that the race of monkeys seems to be
singularly free from anything like can
nibalism. London Saturday Review.
