ages smack their lips in hungry anticipa-
ton when the breeze drifts down over the
assembiage, heavy with the odor of the
baking bodies. The cooks from time to
time drive bamboo canes into the steam
ing heaps to judge of the progress Of their
cooking
Two hours go by, the usual time, and the
cooks raise shout that their work is
done. The earth and smouldering en-
bers are thrown out and the bodies, steam
ing in their brown envelopes of leaves, are
laid open to view.
Gently is raised the body intended for
the tabu man. Upon a bundle of reeds and
canes the wrappings are cut off, exposing
the crisp and brown fakes of the meat.
Upon the distorted face Is laid mask
tipped with feathers, in the cooked left
hand is placed a spear and the right hand
grasps a club.
The braves lift the body to their shout
ders, the tabu man goes before, and the
lucky warrior who killed this chosen vic
tim dances after in all his fighting gear.
Around the green the procession makes
its way, and before the chiefs and the eld-
ers the warrior recounts the story of the
fight and the name of the victim. Then
the chiefs food is placed before him and
he eats
And now comes the general gorging.
Men, women and children. at the signal,
make rush upon the ovens, and soon all
are feeding. They eat in masses in an or
derby enough manner. There is nothing
revolving about the scene If the observer
has not been informed of the nature of
the food they are devouring.
The crisp, white, pork-like flesh is cary
ed with splints of slivered bamboo The
joints are neatly served and are distrib-
uted to the several messes or families.
Then are produced the forks, laboriously
carved for these OCCASIONS and often pre-
served for many generations as family
heirlooms. They are made of the ironwood
of the Western Pacific and are almost in
destructibly tough. There are four times
arranged at the corners of a squared ham
die.
The fork is forced into the meat as far
as it will go, generally about three inches,
and the piece is cut off with a bamboo
knife. With this portion the savage sits
down to leisurely bite off mouthfuls which
he varies with the vegetables baked In
human gravy The only limit upon the APP
petite is the supply of meat.
The thighs are the parts most sought af-
ter, then the ribs and next the upper arms.
The forearms are less considered, and af-
ter these joints there is little choice in
the remainder The fingers and toes are
always claimed by the children as delica-
cies, and the women get the heads hands
and feet.
The feast ends when the meat disap-
pears, and the village returns to Its usual
fish and vegetables.

THE KRAG-JoRGENsEN BULLETS
Interesting Tests of Their Work
Made at Kansas City.
From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.

From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
An interesting experiment has been made
at Kansas City with the Krag-Jorgensen
on human bones. The test was made I'M
der the direction of DR.. ]. D. Griffith, ex-
surgeon general Of The Missouri state mi
lltia. 1t has been the belief of army off,
GERS and military surgeons that the 30
caliber steel-jacketed bullet which the
Krag-J orgensen rife shoots would either
kin a soldier instantly or leave a wound
which would enable him TO fight on with
out knowing for a long time that he had
been injured.
This theory has APPARENTLY been dissipat-
ed. a human head and several lower
limbs of human cadavers were used. The
targets were placed in front of q high en-
bankment. DR.. W. T. Stark and Gen.
Milton Moore of the state militia were the
sharpshooters. The shooting began at a
range of 300 yards, and over 200 rounds
were fired at the various distances.
One of the first bullets fired struck the
head just above the nose at a range Of
500 yards. The skull, was shattered as il
Il had been an egg she'll, and the bullet
buried itself in the embankment, where
II was dug out later as bright and perfect
as when 1t was placed in the rife. Other
bullets pierced the skull and splintered the
bone IN radiaung lines. The bullets also
tore the bones OF the legs into splinters.
According TO the opinion of those pres
ent the test showed that at any distance
under 900 yards the rife throws n missile
which rends human flesh, dsintcgrates
human organs and tears and skaters hui
man bones into fragments. Beyond 1000
yards-and the gun viii, carry three miles
and kill-the bullet bores small round
hole through bones or tissue.
DR.. Griffith will prepare the shattered
bones for exhibition, and viii make a
report OF the tests 10 the National Asso-
citation Of Military Surgeons, Of which he
Is a member.
The report viii be forwarded to the war
department..

Failure of Attempts to Introduce

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
There have been many attempts to in
troduce various other flowers for Easter
DECORATIONS but the lily has become so
closely interviewer with the Lords resur-
rection and ascension, that all such at
tempts have proven futile. The flower Of
flowers for the altar and the only one to
satisfy the suppliant is the lily While
the appropriateness of the lily is indis-
putable, yet sometimes its prices run so
high as to deter one from INDUCING in its
purchase to any great extent. Since the
lily is the one flower in great demand at
this season. the florists have long ago
realized its cultivation as source Of great
revenue, and several local florists have
made a speciality OF them. In the East

Not SO Much Seen by the Public.
From Harpers Weekly
Three or four years ago, when telegraph
and electric wires trailed along unsighuy
poles in the principal thoroughfares Of
New York city. the lineman was famil'
lar figure to all of us. His was the task
to disentangle, to adjust, to cut or to join
together refractory wires. And as some
wire in some locality at some period Of
the day was absolutely certain to prove
refractory, the spectacle of the linemal
sitting astride an arm of a telegraph pole
was one that daily greeted the eye.
The lineman still exists. But since I@A
when the word went out that telegraph
and electric wires must be trailed UNDER
ground the larger part of his business :
conducted I'm the bowels of the earth. MOI
all, however. for on the extreme east ana
extreme west OF the city, which are no,
yet provided with subways, telegraph anl
electric light poles still exist And all
over the city the telephone wires are car,
ried from sub-stations over the roofs %
the houses.
The lineman whose business It is to at
tend to these overhead wires has just as
hard time of 1t as he ever had. MS
work is exactly what it used to be. =
