Philippines before the war broke out
The ascent of Mount Morrison is very
gradual. About noon of the second
day we walked into what was appar-
emily a deserted village, and our I'M
concerned action there nearly brought
on us the doom that irate cannibals
had prepared for other captives. There
were stone and mud huts on each side
Of the main street, and going into one
Of these, its walls seemed in the last
stages Of decay. We went into some
more houses and were startled to see
above the portals Of the doors two
grinntng skulls with the fat foreheads
peculiar to Mongolians.
81 can stand a good deal, but the
weird silence of this hideous place was
enough to startle ones nerves. All at
once, though, the silence was rudely
broken. From up the hill came shouts
and beating of drums and all sorts Of
dreadful noises that one could imagine.
Soon the crowd appeared, brandishing
spears and short weapons. They were
all in war paint and had several pris-
oners, who would now and then utter
heartrending cries when one Of the
captors prieked him with a spear.
There were perhaps sixty in the band,
and on top Of every mans spear was a
skull, many Of them blood stained, all
new and hanging with shreds Of flesh.
Some OF the men were eating this raw
human flesh.
I'VE had not been seen up to this
time, and did not intend being seen by
a mob of that description
I'VE rushed away among the trees,
and a moment later hid in the largest
hut that stood by itself

Feast, built big fires and bound their
.aptives still more securely. We
thought we were safe from discovery.
but presently one Of their number, act
ing in the capacity Of priest, came into
the house and began incantations. On
his spear was a human head and face
with long hair. He was a supersti-
tious fellow and looked wildly about
when he came into what we now know
was the tabernacle Of the tribe.

Artists' Conception OF the Noble stesd

The artists horse Of today is an al
together different creature from the
artists horse OF a century ago. In

ing pompous and melodramatic. FIRE.
quently in the good old days he raised
one foreleg like q setter dog or reared
on both hind legs after the fashion of
q grizzly bear. But things have changed
now, and the pictorial, or marble, steed
has altered his quondam poses for
tudes. While the modern metamorpho-
sis may lack the heroic features which
formerly characterized our good old
friend, we believe the artistic horse Of
the present day is much more accurate.
They say the change is due almost en-
tirely to the revelations OF the in
Simultaneous camera. This intallible
portrait maker has caught the steed in
action and shown us exactly how he
looks. 1t has also shown US that when
he runs he doubles up like jackknife
and throws grace to the winds. 1t has
likewise demonstrated the fact that
old-time artists had erroneous ideas as
to how the brute handled his feet and
used his legs. Indeed, photography. has
shown us so many things about moving
that strict accuracy in their pOrtraiture
Is almost ridiculous.

After q series Of most exciting ad-
ventures among the cannibals Of For
mosa. Mr.. Ludwig Stoepel. the plucky
American tourist and explorer, arrived
at Vancouver, B. c., the other day on
the steamer Empress Of India With
but one companion, this slender
young man passed through most thrill
ling experiences among the cannibals
OF Mount Morrison. The existence of
these cannibals was never dreamed of
until Stoepel, the first white man to
climb the heights of the great noun
tain In search of game, discovered
them.
Mr.. Stoepel tells his story as follows:

tions made him known among scientific
men, and his further researches have
brought him into prominence. His ap-
pointment to the chair Of hygiene in
the University Of Sienna in Italy fol-
lowed. The offer OF a department de-
voted solely to original research along
the line Of the Pasteur Institute at a
salary OF 5000 a year induced him to
go to the University Of Montevideo,

It is not thought that he will risk any

There is no doubt that the neomylo-

Mrs. Eleanor Jeffreys. English, from
Raleigh, Essex, died in this city yester-
day, aged SO. says a Paris correspond
emit. With her disappeared the Society
OF the Kiss Royal, OF which she was the
only surviving member. The. society
was composed originally OF forty-tiVe
young women who had kissed Queen
Victoria at the cost OF shilling each.
That happened when her gracious ma
jesty was an infant in the cradle. One
day her nurse had taken her out In a
pony cart for an airing + Richmond
park. The tiny princess was recog-
nized by the students Of one OF the
most aristocratic girls schools in Lon
don. They surrounded the little car
rage and one OF the girls offered to
give the nurse a shilling IL she would
let her kiss the pretty baby. The nurse
accepted. Then all the other students,
amid great laughter and endearments
to the child. in turn paid the toll and
kissed the princess, and the servant
made quite a little sum. When Vic
toria had succeeded to the throne OF
England the girls who had kissed the
queen formed a friendly association,
the Society OF the Kiss Royal. which
Victoria honored shortly afterward
with a very gracious. good-humored
autograph letter, that finally passed in
to the possession OF Mrs. Jeffreys, the
last member.
