Cannibalisn.

In accordance with Lotourneau's ta- bles of motives accounting for cannibal- ism, the man eating on the west coast of | Africa is to he put under the special and worst classitcatiOn-that of "gOrmand- l iZing.

 Worse than that, it is asserted that in the settlements there are apparent con- l verts who wear tall hats and English broadcloth coats, "who disappear annu- ally, " so as to satisfy the horrid cray | ings of their capacities. MT. Trevor Bat l ty, who spent some months on Kolguev, a wretched island off European Russia, inhabited by Sanloyeds, says their name is derived from the Russian, and means "self eaters ' More than that, the present SamOyeds say that cannibal- l ism did exist among them Gin the long past, and probably their long past'' l is not so remote. These SamOyeds as l man eaters would be classed among those who were cannibals through necessity. Although not so we'll known, there is 1 good reason for suppOsing that not so l long ago the Eskimos were cannibals.
