A NEW REPUBLIC.
Evolution Of South American No
Mans Land.

Evolution Of a South American No
Mans Land.
A republic of two hundred thousand
square miles Zone and half times the
size of Great Britain and Ireland) has
suddenly arisen in the heart of South
America, writes n Bucnos Ayres cor
respondent of the London Daily Mail.
This is the Republic OF Acre. so called
from the river of the same name "a
tributary of the Amazon) which flows
through it.
The circumstances which gave rise
to this new State are somewhat nov
ell. The territory of which the Repub-
lie of Acre is composed has long been
disputed by Bolivia and Brazil with
out being effectively occupied by eth
er. 1t is a thinly peopled region in
habited by less than fifty thousand
souls, who make living principally
by the collection of rubber, which
grows wild in the forest in great album
dance.
An adventurer named Rodriguez Ar
les took 1t into his head to proclaim
himself President of this no mans
land. The new government was for
mally created, Ministers of State APP
pointed. and the capital fixed at An
timairi, a small hamlet which is de-
pot for the shipment of rubber. The
new State of Acre contains no large
cities; indeed. II contains no town larg-
er than small village.
The new President is a man who
has seen much of the world. He Is
a SpaDiard. and was formerly bank
er in his own country. then theatrical
impresario in the United States, clerk
OF works in Paris, and merchant In
Brazil, settling down later as broker
in Buenos Ayres, where he made the
ACQUAINTANCE of the gentlemen who
to-day are his Ministers.
The new government is no mere fic-
ton, for 1t has caused no small con-
sternation among the neighboring
States, Bolivia in particular being
much concerned and about to send an
armed force to cause her flag to be
respected in the new Republic.
The Argentine papers are full Of ac-
counts of Acre. some of them giving
maps and illustrations.
The new President of Acre does not
reckon upon raising a revenue by the
sale of titles. nor yet by the establish
ment OF gaming tables, methods which
were adopted under like circumstances
by Baron Harden Hickey. erstwhlle
monarch of the barren island of Trim
idad. but expects to fill the public ex-
chequer by levying export duties on
rubber, which at present is the sole
source of wealth to the country.
Whether the new Republic of Acre
will have more lasting existence
than the government or Trinidad re-
mains to be seen.

friends and relatives and parents.
When they had outlived their aIlot
ted span OF life and had become bur
den upon the younger generation q
was not at all an unusual thing fol
the old folks to be killed, cooked and
eaten But the principal supplies foi
such horrible feasts as those OF pre-
historic man were the remains of enc
mics killed in battle. 1t was looked up
on as adding terrors to the fight wher
1t was known that the killing Of an
enemy was not the end Of him, but
that he would be afterward consigned
to the pot or spread on the ashes OF
the cooking fire and eaten with ayidi
ty by the victors.
Another inducement to eat his fel-
low that had weight with the preh6-
t0ric man was that certain portions
of the human makeup, IL eaten by an.
other, were supposed to supply miss
ing attributes that were coveted by the
eater Thus the heart of brave man
was eaten by one who had slain him
or could carry or his body, after he
had been slain, for the reason that the
eating Of his heart was supposed to
give additional courage to the one who
devoured 1t.
To dine OF a wise mans brain I'm.
parted additional wisdom TO the diner,
and to make meal OF a man of mus
Gle and sinew gave strength to the
cannlbal who satisfied his hunger with
the strong mans remains.
TO those parts Of the world where
cannibalism is still In existence some
of these theories are believed in to
this day, which proves that the pre-.
historic man was very little different
In his likes. dislikes. tastes and dispo-
sition to the modern savage. 1t Is not
surprising to find that prehistoric man
was a cannil,al. The interest 10 the
matter lies largely In the fact that
the discovery of the bones gives to us
the actual remains of cannibalistiC

GINSENG ROOT.
The Peculiar Qualities Attributed

to 10 by Chinese Superstition.
@. III. Mead, Delaware County
druggist, was at the Broadway Central
Hotel last night. '.Pve been disposing
of lot Of ginseng root to an exporter
In Cedar street." said he. Nearly all
of 1t goes to China. The Japs don't use
it, but the Chinese think there's moth
ing like ginseng. 1t is slender, SLOW
growing shrub, found all through the
North, and there is a good deal of 1t in
Delaware and Sullivan counties. The
root, dried, brings So pound here in
Manhattan. The Chinese ascribe all
sorts of virtues to 1t, and the value OF
each Individual root depends on its size
and shape. A big root brings enormous
prices in China. 1t has no particular
medicinal properties. 1t has been an
alyzed more than once, and the abso-
lutte absence of healing qualities in the
herb is perfectly well known to the
druggists of this country. That makes
no difference TO the Chinaman, however,
He believes 1t is the greatest cure-all,
and the root possesses a charm in his
eyes. The possession of big root will
make the first baby boy in a native
Chinese family exceedingly wise and

seng root is problem. 1t is good
thing for the backwoodsmen of Della
ware and Sullivan counties. When
the women and children have nothing
else to do they stroll out In the forests
and dig ginseng. They frequently ac-
cuinulate 500 worth in single year.
1t is shrub of slow growth, however,
taking five years to become of mer-
charitable size. 1t Is cultivated sue
cessfully, though, on small scale by
some of our farmers. The cultivated
root brings 81 and So pound. The
ginseng found in the Southern States
is rather inferior, while Canada grows
the best of all."-N. Y. Exchange.

Marks Of the Teeth--The Use They

Dining off a Wise Mans Brain.

Prehistoric man dined or his par
ents, says the Vienna correspondent
of the Chicago Herald. when the lat
ter had outlivcd their usefulness; he
cooked and ate his friends when he
got the chance, as well as his enemies;
he considered the flesh of infants and
of children the daintiest of morsels;
he would punish the one who injured
him, first by Staying him and then by
eating him. All this has been proved
conclusively by the discovery In pre-
historic caves recently unearthed near
Knovize. in Bohemia, of great collec-
ton of bones, which DIR. Mateigka,
who has made a careful examination
OF the relics declares to be the unInis-
taxable debris of the cannibalistic
feasts of prehistoric man.

WASHINGTON, Jan 1.-The war de-

from General Otis, commanding the
United States forces in the PhllIppia es.
1t was not important nor definite as TO
results, but asked for instructions on
some questions in connection with the

posed also that the dispatch contained
a full statement OF the events at IlOllo

text was not made public. The officials

LIFE INSURANCE RECORD.
The Unparalleled Showing Made b!


tho New York Life Company.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The year closed
with business booming. The bureau OF
statistics at Washington figures the
country's excess OF exports over i'm
ports for 1898 at SG1i 100000, and these
figures tell the whsle story. Everybody
believes still further enlargement OF
foreign and domestic trade Is In store
for 1899.
This morning the New York Life in
surance Company reports its years
work. and OF all the companies Is the
first TO publish Its statement. The re-
suit surprises the Oldest insurance men
and furnishes fresh proof OF the busi-
ness revival of 1898.
President John a. Mccall, Of the New
York Life, states that his company In
1898 has been paid for more than $751;
100000 in new insurance, an increase OF
more than Sl5.O00,e 600 over 1897, and has
now total OF policies In force exceed
ing S945, 900, 900. being gain during the
year of SCI. .0O00DO The average mind
can scarcely grasp the Significance of
these figures, which denote larger
gain In this one company alone than
was shown in the previous year by all
the other regular life insurance COM
panics Of this state combined, and Is an
unparalleled record.
While this record Is striklngly cxcep-
tiOnni. gains in somewhat the same pro-
portion have been made by the banks
and the large commercial houses.
