WON'T EAT WOMEN.
Peruvian Cannibals Regard the Sex as

Peruvian Cannibals Regard the Sex as
Unclean Animals.
Down in the darkest Peru, over an
outlying eastern ridge of the Andes,
toward the very unsettled boundary
lines of Brazil and Bolivia, a flourish
ing race of cannibalistic Indians can
be found. They are so fierce and un-
approachable that few missionaries or
explorers have ever felt courage enough
to guarantee anything like a close
study of their eccentricities. 1t was
an yEnglishwoman who recently
brought home a photograph of one of
the women of a cannibal tribe, and
though full of eagerness to know more
Of these people, she was persuaded TO
forego investigation. The civilized In
dams regard them with horror that
only cannibalism can inspire, and only
at long intervals have the white resi-
dents of Peru seen or captured any OF
the Cascibos, who range the forests
where the precious Peruvian bark is
found and who fight each other in the
hope Of securing prisoners for a can
nibalistic orgie. But there is a queer
code in their savage law. They make
no effort to seize women for their
feasts. The very degradation of the sex
is in way it's preservation. The male
ante or Cascibo regards woman as an
impure being. She is a necessary tor
ment, but by no means a comfort,
though she accepts her share of duty,
and cannibal brave would well-nigh
perish of starvation before he would
pollute his lips with female flesh. Not
only is a woman thus despised, but
her blood is feared as a poison, from
the taste of which no man could recov-
err. The cannibal women profess no
such distaste for mans flesh, but are
said to eat it with relish, while in their
own turn they have evidently taken no
active steps TO convince the men
against their ancient error and preju-
Times.

Contractor Wooley, OF Ann Arbor, Makes
Public Statement.
Mr.. Edwin Wooley, contractor and
carpenter of Ann Arbor, adds his voice
to that of the army of Michigan people
who endorse the little conqueror. Our
representative found him at his place of
residence, No. 61S Fountain st. Mr..
Woolev appreciates "a good thing" as
do most of our readers, and he does not
hesitate to tell his experience for the
benefit of others. Endorsement of this
kind has made Doan's Kidney Pills a
household word throughout the state.
The good they have done has won them
many title and such worthy names
among people as the "little conqueror
OF kidney ills, ''little enemies to back
ache" modern wonder-workers," etc.
Mr.. Wooley says;
II was subject for years 70 attack
of backache or pains through the
loins and kidneys, generally of dull,
heavy, aching nature, but often when
the weather changed or when moved
awllwardly they became sharp twinges
of pain. AS was doing work which
required STOPPING it was very painful
exceedingly so, if caught cold, which
as rule, settled in my loins. tried
various remedies but was never success

great deal but shortly after l began
the treatment the aching abated and
when L had finished it L was cured.

A PEASANT WEDDING.

Mrs. Alec Tweedie, in her Journey
ings through Finland, appears to have
displayed happy aptitude for forming
friendly relations with all sorts and
conditions OF people. At one peasant
cottage OF the poorest sort, where she
stopped to buy a bowl of milk, she fell
into conversation with It's mistress,
very clean and apparently very aged
woman, clad in a short serge skirt,
loose white chemise and a striped
apron of many colors-these simple
garments being all of her own weav-
ing. Over her head she wore a black
cashmere kerchief. Her face might
have belonged to a woman of a hun
dred or a witch of ancient times, it
was SO wrinkled and tanned; her
hands were hard and horny; and yet,
after half an hours conversation, we
discovered she was only about fifty
five. Hard work, poor food and life
in dark, ill-ventilated, smoky cottages
age the peasants fast; at seventeen
many girl begins to look like an old
woman. The old, or middle-aged,
woman was a cheerful and friendly
soul, and was soon beguiled, by the
visitors comments on a woven hand
hanging in sight, into narrating an
episode of family history. 1t had been
one Of the presents given by her son
on his marriage, to his groomsman.
He had married girl of another viii
lage-asking her hand in accordance
with immemorial Finnish custom,
through a puhemies, or spokesman, a
kind of preliminary best man, who
must do all the talking while the suit
or himself sits dumb. Being accepted,
he exchanged rings with his betrothed
and gave her father the usual kihlarat.
What is that?" the visitor asked.
why, it is sort Of deposit given to
the girls father to show he really
means to marry the girl-a cow or
something Of that sort" A two
years engagement, during which the
young people were earning their house
hold equipment, was followed by
grand wedding, celebrated, as usual in
Finland, at the bridegroom's house.
1T is a very expensive thing to get
married." said the mother, and my
son had to give many presents to the
father-in-law, mcther-in-law, brides
maids and groomsmen. To all the
brides maids he gave stockings, that
being the fashion of our country; to
the groomsmen he gave shirts; to his
mother-in-law a dress; to the father
in-law belt, and to other friends head
handkerchiefs. In short, she confessed
that the occasion was a very serious
drain upon the family resources. "But,
oh, 1t was a lovely time," she added.
"A wedding is a splendid thing. We
had feast all one day and the next,
and then the priest came and they
were married. Every one we knew
came from miles around. Some
brought can Of milk, and some Of them
brought corn brandy, and others
brought porridge. and Johansen had
been to town, so he brought back with
him some white bread. Aye, II was
grand feasti We danced and ate and
sand and made merry for two days, and
then we all walked with my son and
his bride to that little cottage on the
other side OF the wood and left them
there, where they have lived ever
since"

German Talk.

Gilbert, the librettist, met Liebling,
the pianist, not long ago, and they say
the following interchange occurred be-
tween them. Liebling, you must know,
has an inordinate vanity, and Gilbert,
as you do know, has a caustic wit.
Liebling was introduced to Gilbert, and
Gilbert said
Sir, have heard List"
Liebling bowed his head in acknowl-
edgment of what he supposed was the
coming compliment.
Il have heard Henri Hertz" contin-
ued Gilbert.
Liebling bowed still lower.
Il have heard Paderewski"
Liebling made a genuflection even

rupt tones, mot one of them, not one
of them, sir, perspired as profusely as

"Where are you going, Shell?' asks
Ruby, glancing up from an elaborate
band of crewel-work, destined to trim
a morning-gown.

superintend Bobs donkey-ride. / prom

What folly! You know he is never
allowed a donkcy-ride unless he has
been particularly good; and when ask
Piper If he has been good enough to
have one, she invariably answers
No."
Shell gives one Of those low ripping
laughs of hers, which has in it mock

laughs Shell, stripping off her wash

setting to the task.
When, some twenty minutes later,
she arrives at MeadowcroI, Farm, she
finds the children established in hay

where visible.
Where is Piper?" asks Shell, sink
ing down in the fragrant hay.

"Have you been good children-good
enough for a donkey-ride?" pursues
Shell, smiling.
Don't know" responds Bob, with
placid indifference-"s'pose not. Piper
boxed my ears this morning."

"sinee Piper isn't here we can't ask
her-you shall have your donkey-ride
today, and then you'll be good boy
tomorrow"

spends Bob stolidly; tell us a story
instead"
mot want a donkey-ride? Why,
what sort of boy do you call your
self" demands Shell, turning the
child round to laugh him out of what
she imagines to be fit of the sulks;
then she becomes aware that Robs

looking-that his bright merry eyes
are dim and misty.

Mrs. Widen looks surprised.
"How so? | have no intention OF

little tartly. THE cottage is taken
for two months, and since the rent
must be paid, we may as well make the
best of our bargain.

bles Violet.

IF not, why did they leave it?' de-
mands her sister defiantly.

pose you know that they are going

her ususal caution.

Mrs. Widen, looking puzzled and
trifle shocked.
