WORST OF CANNIBALS.
Australian Mothers Who Eat
Their Own Children.
CAUCASIAN NEAT NOT WANTED.

Full Grown Men Permitted to Eat
Eels and LiZards-Nnrriors Devour
the Eyes Of Their Enemies Killed
In Battle.
Professor Carl Lumholtz quite recently
spent several years in the wilds of Aus
tralia. partly for the purpose of studying
the natives. He says that all of them
are cannibals and that they are excess
lively treacherous. He himself would GER
tainly have been killed and eaten had it
not been that the savages dreaded his re-
volver. imagined that he never slept and
credited him with supernatural power.
A correspondent of the Detroit News
Tribune says that the Australians some
times construct primitive huts by tying a
few boughs together, but they have no
settled habitations, their lives being
spent in wandering about in search of
food and water. On the march the men
walk in front, carrying their weapons,
and the women and children follow with
the baggage. Every woman carries
fiat stone for crushing edible roots; also
stones for spear heads, knives and axes,
sinews for thread, needles of kangaroo
bone, tinder TO make fire and such roots
and fruit as are gathered on the road.
The women do all the work, on which
account they are valuable property, and
a man is rich in proportion to the num-
ber of wives he has. 1t is exceptional,
however, for 'blacli fellow to have
more than one wife, owing to poverty.
Girls are costly to bring up and as wives
are obtainable only by purchase they are
slaves pure and simple. Professor Lum-
holtz noticed that many of them were

GEMS IN VERSE.
OLD FAVORITES.

Death, the Leveler.
The glories of our birth and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is no armor against fate
Death lays his icy hand on kings;
Scepter and crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade
Some men with swords may reap the field
And plant fresh laurels where they kill,
But their strong nerves at last must yield
They tame but one another still;
Early or late
They stoop to fate
And must give up their murmuring breath,
When they, pale captives. creep to death.
The garlands wither on your brow
Then boast no more your mighty deeds;
Upon deaths purple altar, now
See where the victor victim bleedsi
All heads must come
To the cold tomb
Only the actions Of the Just
Smell sweet and blossom in the dust.

! remember, ! remember,

The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn;
He never came wink too soon,
Nor brought too long day,
But now often wish the night
Had borne my breath awayl
remember, | remember,
The roses red and white. '
The violets and the lily cups,
Those flowers made Of light
The lilacs where the robin built,
And where my brother set
The lahurnum on his birthday
The tree is living yet!
] remember, l remember,
Where used to swing,
And thought the air must rush as fresh
To swallows on the wing;
My spirit flew in feathers then,
That is so heavy now,
And summer pools could hardly cool
The fever on my browi
/ remember, | remember,
The fir trees dark and high;
used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky;
II was childish ignorance,
But now tits little joy
To know I'm farther off from heaven
Than when was boy.

happiest when he is swaying between

LOnGings For Home.

In all my wanderings round this world of care,
In all my griefs-and God has given my share
still had hopes my latest hours to crown,
Amidst these humble bowers to lay me down,
To husband out life's taper at the close
And keep the fame from wasting, by repose;
still had hopes, for pride attends US still,
Amidst the swans to show my book learned skill
Around my fire an evening group to draw
And tell of all felt and all l saw;
And as hare, whom hounds and horns pursue,
Pants to the place from whence at first he flew,
l still had hopes, my long vexations past,
Here TO return-and die at home at last.

Kadiak island. He shows considerable
skill IN catching them. Although he pre-
fers salmon, he is capable of feeding on
all animals that come within his reach.
1t seems not improbable that the Ka-
diak bear is survivor of the race of gi-
gantic prehistoric cave bears who -four
ished late in the tertiary period.
For century or more he has been re-
garded as an animal surrounded with
mystery, and not so very long ago he was
supposed to be quasimythical. To this
very day but little is known about him,
and only very recently has he been listed
scientifically by DR. Merriam, the famous
government naturalist, under the name
OF Ursus Middendorff, who had some
most perilous adventures with giant bears
in Alaska in earlier times.

Perfection,

To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or add another hue

To seek the besuteous eye of heaven to garnisa,

For the want Of proper addresses many

And many of these returned letters are
from citizens Of Washington. 1t is all i'm
portant that letters intended for the SOL
dier or sailor, should not only designate
his military rank, but should give the
name of the company and regiment.
And above all, the sender should put
his or her name and address on the left
hand corner Of the envelope. II this were
done the returned letter would not be sent
to the Dead Letter Office.
This precaution should always be taken
in sending third or fourth class mail mat
ter to the Philippines. Cuba. or Porto Rico.
All letters mailed to soldiers or sailors or
any Government official in the Philippines
are entitled to the two-cent rate. the same
as in this country, but letters addressed to
any other persons are subject to the five
