The Legend of Cannibalism.

The husbands once returning from a
successful hunt far inland, they began
horn blowing, singing and dancing far up
the river. AS they approached the village
the women went out to meet them on the
bank. They had in the canoes wallabies,
boars and cassowaries. The women called
out to them, What success, husbandsp"
"Great success; plenty to eatl" ''Wherep
"Here. Come and seei'' They drew closer
to the river side, and when they saw what
was in the canoes they said: "That dirty
stuff Who is going to eat itp Is that
your successful hunt?''
The men began reasoning among them
selves, saying, what do our wives mean?"
One, little more enlightened, said, after
a little time: II know. 1t is man." And
throwing the wallabies and other animals
ashore away they started to neighboring
village and brought back ten bodies, re-
turning without the horn blowing, sing
ing or dancing. On drawing near the
bank the women saw what they had.
They shouted: Eyes, yes, that is it'll
Dance and sing now. You have some
thing worth dancing and singing for.
That is what we want" The bodies were
singed, cooked and eaten and pronounced
good, and they have ever since been eaten
and pronounced vastly superior to any
other flesh.-" Pioneer Life In New
Guinea" by Chalmers.

HOURS AND WAGES.
Reduction of the Former without Inter.
fering With the Latter.

Reduction of the Former without Inter-
fering With the Latter.
Since 90 years ago there has been here,
as well as in England, great reduction
In the hours of labor. But this was not
accomplished for the pleasure of the wage
earners. 1t was accomplished because ex-
perience proved that after certain state
of fatigue had been reached labor was I'M
profitable. The hours may still further
be reduced. A large volume of evidence
has been collected in the last few years to
show that production is even more eco
nomical with an eight hour than with n
nine hour or ~ ten hour day. Experiments
in this direction are in progress. If what
is claimed for the eight hour day be proved
and it has been partially proved-the
eight hour day will come into general use.
But otherwise 10 amount of ethics or
philanthropy or Christianity will bring it
in. Men arc always, everywhere, trying
to got all they can. If they can get more
by working ten hours than by working
eight, ten hours they will work.
Wages have been largely increased In
the past ID years, but this is due purely TO
economic causes The principle of Chris
tianity which attaches an absolute value
creator than that of all earthly things to
u human being rs such' has not induced
any employer 20 increase wages. 1t can
be shown that this principle has led to the
improved condition of the laboring classes,
but it has done so in accordance with eco
nomic laws and not by suspending them,
or violating thom, or substituting benevo-
lent for selfish instincts
Invention and the extension of the hui
man control over the powers of nature
have enormously increased the amount OF
product, of wealth, that can be gotten by
the labor of each individual. This in
crease has been distributed, and the labor
er has got part of it. 1t is not material to
this discussion whether he has got his
share or less or, as some persons believe,
more. The material fact is that he has
often been paid his increased wages out Of
an increased quality of production, and not
out of an accumulated fund of altruism
No amount of ethics or philanthropy
would have been able to pay him increased
wages had not some ones inventive skill
enabled him to weave more yards of cloth
and roll more pounds of iron in week
than his grandfather did.-Lippincott's
Magazine.

HOW TO ESCAPE COLDS.
Not by Coddling, but by Becoming Able
to- Endure Necessary Exposure.

1t is not always sufficient to point
out danger. 1t is often of even greater
importance to show how the danger
may be averted. Most people properly
recognize cold as avoidable and think
they are greatly to be commended for
the prudence they exercise in protecting
themselves, but if they did but know it
they are really doing all they can to
make themselves susceptible to colds by
weakening their resisting powers.
A German professor once wrote a
long treatise, with learned title, on
how to avoid catching cold. After trac-
ing the history of colds from the earliest
ages studying their causes and symp-
toms and cataloguing the remedies
which have been used by the most emf
nent physicians of all times he conclud-
ed with short chapter on prevention.
His plan was to inure the back Of
the neck to drafts by having some one
direct current of air upon it from a
bellows three times day.
The writer had the correct idea, al
though its practical application was
clumsy anu uc was ioiS Univ IL Wv"
ing it. The best and only way to escape
colds is to meet the causes that produce
them and not to run from them.
Let the body be hardened by cold
sponge bath or even cold plunge, fol-
lowed by brisk rubbing with q
"scratchy" towel, every morning. Let
the clothing be adapted to the season,
though always as light as possible, but
keep the neck uncovered-no turned up
coat collar, no muller, no boa. Never
let the temperature in the house rise
above 70 degrees in the winter. Air
every room systematically every day,
no matter what the outdoor temperature
may be- Always have fresh air In the
bedroom. There is nothing poisonous III
might air." popular belief to the con-
trary notwithstanding.
In a word, don't be always afraid Oh
catching cold don't coddle, but meet
cold and wet and changes OF tempera-
ture like a man, or rather like a horse,
and Won will then run better chance
of being as strong as horse.
OF course you must strengthen your
armor where it is weak, but II you rec
ognize in yourself weak place. "coid
snot. ,, don't cover it up with more
clothes. but tougher it and tougher
your entire body until it is one homo
geneous resistant whole. Youth S Com
