Prehistoric Man a Cannibal.

According to DR.. Matiegka, of Prague,
the favorite food of prehistoric man was
his brother. In learned article in the
miscellany of the Anthropological So
ciety of Vienna he proves from an ex-
animation of some prehistoric remains
at Knovizc, in Bohemia, that the people
who buried them were cannibals, not
from need. but from choice, and that
they preferred the flesh of their own
relatives, especially if young and ten
der, to that of their enemies. He also
contends, and most anthropologists
seem to agree with him, that the eat
ing of human flesh was in prehistoric
times spread all over Europe, the prac-
tice being first induced by scarcity of
other food, next by preference, and was
finally persisted in for religious, or
rather ceremonial, reasons. The flesh
was in every case prepared by cooking.
sometimes with the juice of oranges and
lemons.-Pall Mall Gazette.

KATE's VISITORS.
The Shock Given to Her Mistress by
Domestic Treasure In
Washington.

A Washington housekeeper engaged
young colored woman from Virginia
as kitchenmaid, and was much pleased
with her evident desire to be useful and
master the details of her duties. The
girl was quiet and respectful, cared
little to go out, and had no visitors,
and had come to be regarded as that
long-looked-for treasure, good serv-
ant, when one day her mistress was
startled by hearing the girl cry out in
sharp, hysterical tone of voice:
'How de do, Aunt Jane! Well! Gran
pap, 1 declar'! Uncle Joab, Use glad to
see you, deed is. Well, well, de baby,
too? Wy, you deah little cully-head
pickaninny! kiss me, dis mint! Well,
I Mevah! To think Aunt Sallie's along
with you all. I nevah was so glad to
see you befo', nevah! How's mothah?
Wyfor didn't she KUN long? She JUS
nights well as not. Mary, you JUS tell
her how hollered bout her!''
The mistress, after minutes aston
ished pause, wendell her way down.
stairs with the intention of curbing the
noisy demonstration and suggesting
that the size of the kitchen scarcely
warranted all the darkies in Virginia
calling at the same time. She made
considerable noise in the hallway to
warn them that she was coming, and
moment later opened the kitchen door.
There sat the girl entirely alone and
busy shining up her tins.
'Why, Kate" said the mistress, IL
thought the kitchen was full of COM
pany-that all your relatives, except
your mother, had called to see you
who was it?"
The girl looked bewildered for mo-
ment, and then said:
Deed, miss, Use just homesick, so l
