Staten With Honor"
Savannah News.)


Perhaps the subject of the morality OF
the cannibal has never suggested ltselt
to the average reader. and heretofore not
even TO the student Of sociological pro-
blems. But it has been made an extreme
" live topic by the eminent Egyptologist,
DR.. Flinders Petrie, whose article, Eaten
With Honor" in the current Contempt
rary Review, has attracted almost uniyer-
sal attention. DIR. Petrie's defence OF the
cannibal is as unique and startling as IL
is interesting. and TO him the man-eaters,
who have always, as a whole, been class
ed as a bad lot, owe a debt OF lasting
gratitude. According TO DIR. Petrie, the
cannibal Is far from being the bad man
that he has been painted. and when we
read an account of a Polynesian bill-o1-
fare i'm which human flesh in the shape
of entrees, steaks. and chops, Is the prin-
cipal article of diet, we need no longer
shudder at the horror and condemn CIVIL
Zation for not having put an end 10 what
was once considered the worst OF barbara
ties Hunger. DIR. PeJrie informs us. IL
not always the motive OF the cannibal In
making a meal of q barbecued relative or
fellow townsman. but he may be actuated
by ''love and affection" method or ex-
pressing his regard which will still re-
main shrouded in mystery and doubt. But
true il is, says DR.. Petrie, and 1t Is sheer
mental prejudice against strangeness
which puts the innocent and anectlonale
cannibal below the moral offender"
DIR. Pefrie'S cfdSslncdJOl OF
tic motives is one of the most interesting
features of his discussion, being, so TO
speak, a statistical demonstration OF the
mild manners. love and affection" OF this
heretofore much-abused individual These
motives are:
Honor. kindness, good. love-. 20 per cent.
For strength or magic results..19 per cent.
AS a ceremony .............-....lQ per cent.
AS punishment ................ per cent.
From hunger and need Of food..1S per cent.
From preference as food ......2S per cent.
"The higher motives Of honor and kind
ness prevail mostly in Asia, Australia.
and South America" he says, but seem
TO be unknown In Polynesia. North Ameri-
ca, and Africa The Tibetans considered
IL glorious burial for their honored
eat the dead with the greatest and most
solemn honor. and the Tupi and Capana-
huas in South America did likewise: Be
sides this. IL Is often a matter or kind
ness and love for the dead. The Cucumas
of South America said that IT was better

10 have been the main sentiment IN tnat
quarter OF the world, as II appears again
among the Botocudos. Tapuyas, Mayor
una. Mundrucu. and Guyanis:
DR. Pefrie's lucid explanation OF canni-
balistic motives may relieve the anxious
minds of many missionaries to whom the
stories of their devoured brethren nave

ror should they chance to be detailed to

TO statistics. there are now In ltaly from
900 TO 300 people whose age exceeds lVo

Wis" records that from census taken
at the time of the Emperor Vespasian, II
resulted that there were in Italy sixty
five centenarans, but 1t Is enough 10
omen the medical encyclopaedia of De-
chambre to establish that the number OF
centenarians has proportionatey IN
creased considerably since ancient times,
even taking into consideration the aug
mentation in the population. the diminu-
ton of epidemics, the lesser frequency OF
war. the amelioration of hygienic condl-
tions-in a word the progress OF clvlllza-
ton, which has greatly lessened mortality
In France, for instance, in 1897, when the
population was much smaller than at
present in Italy. the centenarians were
l75. To reach 100 years, however, should
not be strange, according TO an Italian
saving. which runs: "A dog lasts years;
a horse lasts three dogs, q years; q man
lasts three horses. 81 years; crow lasts

The Tale Union Private Told.
Chicago Times-Herald.)


A man who had been a private in an
Illinois cavalry regiment told me once
of an incident of the battle of jones'
borough He and his comrades had
been dismounted in the edge OF thick
woods. and dismounted cavalry are the
hardest of troops to rout. In front or
them was an open corn-field a quarter
of a mile wide, with woods upon its
further side. Re-enforced by a half
dozen companies of infantry, possibly
500 Federals lay perdu. In blunder a
company of Confederates, not more than
ninety men all told, was ordered to at
tack With yell the handful swept
out of the opposite woods and charged
across the field. At a distance of 100
yards a single volley disposed of them
Those that were left on their feet
wheeled and scampered back to their
position. One, however, remained. He
was the captain in command, and had
been far in advance of his men. When
he found himself deserted he stopped
and folded his arms. Sixty yards away.
alone in the wide field, the summer sun
pouring down upon the silver gray Of
his uniform, he stared staunchly into the
eyes of 100 foemen. He was only a
beardless boy, and the newness of his
clothing showed that he was but a few
DAYS from home. All down the long
line of Federals ran cry: Don't shoot
him. Don't shoot himp' He gave the
military salute and marched steadily
back TO his men. Not a gun was fired.

THE WHARFING SYSTEM
The two things that Antwerp particu-
Iarly prides itself upon are Its artistic
treasures and it's wharyes. And the
wharf arrangements are an example 10y
which. almost any city In the world
might profit. Here is the river front OF

1t Is a beautiful idea, and L think en-

The artistic side Of Antwerp we shail

thing about great paintings, | imagine,
would be delicate matter for man
who processes no technical knowledge OF
that form of art But with such pictures
as these OF Rubens man needs no
special knowledge. They are not great
because they are Rubens's. but great
because they are great. A man with
sufficient art In his soul to distinguish

stands long to admire them and wonder

Novel "SmalI Change"
(The London Mail.)

A very interesting report on the trade
OF Ads Abbaba, Abyssinia, compiled by
Mr.. Kennel Rodd has just been issued
by the Foreign Office.
The products exported from that part
of the country are gold, ivory. civet. wax.
and coffee. The market for the two
former is largely controlled by the En-
peror Menelek, who receives his tribute
in this form. This partial monopoly and
the competition of merchants importing
goods from the coast to obtain gold TO
send back have driven up the value, and
gold has nearly doubled in price since last
year. The value Of ivory has also adj
vanced
Dealing with weights and currencies,
Mr.. Rodd adds that 1t is remarkable
that the prestige of the Emperor Meme
lex has not succeeded in popularizng the
new dollar stamped with his head. The
only small change for the dollar consists
either of rifle cartridges or of pieces Of
rock salt some eight inches long. tapering
to either end, and about two inches broad
in the thickest part. Cartridges have
come into use as small change OF recent
years, but they are easily tempered
with, charcoal being substituted for the
powder, and are, therefore, an unsatis-
factory medium of exchange.

THE ZONE SYSTEM OF FARES.
Railways Encourage
Travel by Cheapening JOurneys.
Gondon Daily News.)

Uondon Daily News)
Following the comparatively recent ex-
amples OF Hungary and Russia, Denmark
has now adopted the ''zone system or all
the State railways. The new system
was quietly introduced during the pres
ent summer. and to-day Denmark Is prob
ably the cheapest country for railway
travelling In the world. The Innovation
has not been made rashly. On the con-
trary, 1t seems to be regarded as the
natural outcome OF railwal> development.
and enterprise I'm Denmark during recent
years. The prices OF tickets for distances
over 100 kilometers are adjusted on a
zone system. consisting Of Is zones. The
first Of which extends from the 10Th TO
the 10th kilometer. The last extends
from the 676th kilometer onward to the
limits of the State system. The extent
of the zones Increases progressively. al
though the cost of traversing each Is
uniform Thus while the first zone Is
only 10 kilometers in breadth, the 18th Is
over 46 kilometers.
The cost of the ticket, however, now
rises very slightly in proportion to the
distance travelled. Thus, while thru
class ticket for distance OF % miles
costs Is. Sd, one for distance or Alb
miles costs only Is. Id. The price for
any possible distance beyond 4l9 miles
the inner limit Of the 9Th zone-is only
Is. i'd. The average cost OF the shorter
Journey would In this country be 5s. Sd,
or more than double the Danish price.
The cost OF a single journey between
London and Edinburg-only S95 miles-is
32s. 3d.. or four and half times as much.
Another novelty is the issue Of fortnight
~ tickets, available all over the State
lines. These cost only SIS. 3D., S6s, and
22s Cd. for the three classes. "A yearly
ticket, giving the same facilities, costs
only f27, ZIG lis. Cd, or fl9 Is. 3D., accord
ing to class.
