Nhv CanuibnIs Emf Men.

Some grewsome Information has
been collected by n member OF the
European medical fraternity In rela-
ton to tribes that eat men. A French
man figures that 20 per cent Of all
cannibals eat the dead In order to
glorify them; 10 per cent eat great
warriors in order that they may In
herit their courage and eat dead chill
dren in order to renew their youth; 10
per cent partake OF their near relatives
from religious motives, either In con-
nectlon with initiatory rites or to glori-
fy deities. and per cent feast in order
to avenge themselves upon their enc
mics. Those who devour human flesh
because Of famine are reckoned as is
per cent.
In short deducting all these there re-
mains only a portion of "A per cent
who partake Of human flesh because
they prefer 1t to other means Of ali
mentation.
In the heart of Africa man eating Is
continued to this day. and to such an
extent that In certain villages ribs and
quarters Of man meat can be bought.
1t Is easier for the native there to Kill
men when they desire flesh than to go
to the exertion of hunting game.-St.
Louis Dispatch.
