STOCKS WEAK AND LOWER.
War News Dominates the Dealings
Here and at London.

New York, April 23.-CoLflicting reports
as to the situation in the Greco-TurkiSh
war again held the London market in
dread, and the local trading market was
sympathetically affected The opening
dealings were in the smallest volume of
business seen in, long time, and the tone
was unsettled.
The London listed stocks showed de-
clines of about IA point in response to
the foreign weakness, though arbitrage
transactions were on very limited scale
About the only stocks showing any anima-
ton in the early dealings were American
Spirits and jersey Central.

the acids that are responsible for rheuma-

fiesh-builders and nerve tonics. It strength
ems the muscles and vitalizes every organ.
1t brings sweet slumber at night and men
tai and physical activity during the day. 1t
gives zest to the appetite and makes the di-
gestion perfect. The man or woman who
resorts to this wonderful medicine when
ever the body is out of sorts will be able to
do almost any amount of work without dan

testified to its marvellous merits Medicine

where boxes are solemnly piled, and
where moth camphor sheds it fragrance
abroad. There are hardly any old books
to be found, for most people send them
to the Hebrew merchants on the side

There was an old hair trunk in one cor

There was an old spinning wheel, where
spiders hung fantastic wreaths, and

Their Greatest Dread.

1t is a curious fact that none but the
civilized races will permit of amputa-
ton of the limbs of the body. Nearly
all savages or semibarbaric people ex-
hibit the same repugnance to what has
been considered one of the chief glories
of modern science. South Sea Island
ers will die before they will submit to
an operation of the kind. With them it
is the fear of pain of the operation.
The Chinese have different reason,
however. It is maintained that the
supreme being will not accept for so
journ to Heaven anyone who is shorn of
limb. If the operation is absolutely
necessary the Chinaman sometimes
submits, but it is with the understand
ing that the limb be so preserved that
it can be seen at any time and will be
buried at death with the body to which
it was originally joined-Chicago

and took her little baby girl with her.
The baby grew tired in a little while,
and the mother arranged bed of dry
leaves for it under sheltering sumach
bush. In few minutes the child was
asleep, and the mother resumed her
berry picking. 1t was an oppressively
hot day, when the air was full of cleo
tricity and not breath of wind stir
ring anywhere. A squall was coming
up rapidly from the east, the light.
ming was showing dimly on its upper
edge, but Mrs. Pennington was appar-
emily oblivious of the approach of the
storm, glad only that the baby slept
so well and gave her so little trouble.
But it was not the storm alone that
threatened danger. At the very edge
of the thicket, and only a few feet from
the sleeping baby, its eyes cleaning,
its head laid fat on the ground, and its
tail flashing its tawny sides, huge
Mexican lion was crouching ready to
spring. For moment it dug it's hind
paws nervously into the ground, and
then it leaped into the air. 1t fell dead
only a few inches from the sleeping
baby, just as loud peal of thunder
caused Mrs. Pennington to look arount
for the safety of the child. The bah,

SOUGHT GLORY IN muRnER.

Austrian Nobleman Imprisoned for
Life for Killing a Deserter.
The old adage that murder will out
has once more proved to be true, this
time in Galicia. From there comes a
remarkable story ofhow science proved
an austrian officer to have been guilty
of numbering private of his regiment.
The private deserted with the inten-
ton Of coming to this country. he
was captured by the searching party,
but managed to escape. Three days
later the officer, who is said to be a
noblemnn of high standing, and whose
name has been kept secret by the Aus
TRAN government, reported that he
had shot and killed the deserter. He
asserted that he had been out hunt
ing when he came across the fugitive.
"Halt, in the name of the EMPEROR"
he declared he cried. Then, according
to the story told by the officer, the man
ran away, and on being warned twice
more the officer fired and killed him.
The following day the officer was called
before his regiment and complimented
on his bravery, for the fugitive was
known to be desperate character.
Visions Of q medal flashed across the
officers mind and everything seemed
smooth sailing until physician re-
ported the result of the autopsy.
The doctor found that the bullet
which had killed the man had taken
a most remarkable course. 1t had en-
tered the head at the point where the
hair begins, near the left temple. 1t
then plowed its way downward and
emerged beneath the right clavicle.
This exploded the officers story that
he had shot the man from behind, for
the position of the body while running
would make it an impossibihty for the
bullet to have taken the course de-
scribed. The doctor declared that
from the wound it was evident that the
man had been lying fat on his back
when the shot was fred, and that in
all probability his hands had been
folded beneath the nape of his neck
From this the authorities made the de.
duction that the deserter had been
sleeping when attacked by the officer
whose desire for glory was stronger
than his humanity. The officer was
arrested and the corpse of the private
became his accuser, silent, but backed
by the authority of science. A court
martial was held, but the officer stuck
to his original story. When faced by
the scientists and. their evidence he
broke down and confeSsef1) that he had
shot the man while he was asleep. He
was sentenced to Life imprisonment

cANNIsALs' QUEER ACTS.
Interesting Statistics I'm Regard to
Eating Human Flesh.

Il
interesting Statistics I'm Regard to
Eating Human Flesh.
Manuscript recently discovered in the
neighborhood of Cairo gives some inter.
esting information in regard to capni.
balism. For thousands of years the
fashion of eating human flesh prevailed
in Cairo and the adjoining country. The
object, however, was not to satisfy hun
ger, but rather to honor the dead. Only
the arms and legs were eaten, and for
all we know to the contrary the remain
ing portions of the bodies were treated
| with becoming reverence.
Taking this established fact as a
starting point, Flinders Petrie, the
eminent English archaeologist, recently
set himself to study the psychology of
anthropophagy and he was soon in pos
session of several other equally remark
able facts. For example, he learned
that of every 100 persons who eat hu-
man flesh 20 do so with the object of
honoring the dead as well as of securing
their good will, and thus obtaining for
themselves perfect happiness in the
next world. Such is the custom of the
Thibetans, as we'll as of the Australian
and South American aborigines. The
Thibetans were especially won't to hold
most impressive religious ceremonies
while the cannibalistic feasts were 60
ing on.
The Samoides do not hesitate to eat
their parents, and in defense of their
conduct they maintain that the dead
will thus live more happily and alto
gether more comfortably in the future
life. In ancient times certain tribes
invariably ate their deceased friends
and relatives, as they considered that
1t would be monstrous thing to hand
them over to the tender mercies of the
worms. All cannibals, however, are not
actuated by such unselfish motives. Ac-
cording to q writer in the Journal des
Debats, many cannibals eat human flesh
with the object of obtaining direct ben
efits thereby. Thus we are told that
10 per cent. of them eat the most stall
wart warriors who fall in battle, with
the hope of increasing their own cour-
age, and that they also eat dead chill
dren, with the object of thus recovering |
their lost youth. Again, ten per cent.
eat their nearest relatives through re-
ligious motives, since they hope thus to
escape the wrath of the gods. Moreover,
five per cent. eat human flesh because
they hope in this manner to punish
those whom they are eating.
There is room for much further in
vestigation in this direction, and those
who know Mr.. Petrie are confident that
he will in the near future discover many
more equally interesting facts regard
ing cannibalism.-N. Y. Herald.
