CtNNIBALISM IN CANADA.
Arrests of Northwest Indians Indicate
the Existence OF the Practice.


Recent arrests Of Northwest Canadian In
dams by detachment of the mounted po-
lice go to prove that cannihalism is still
practiced by Canadian aborigines Two
prisoners brought into the barracks at Ed
monitor by the police were captured red
handed. but they seek to defend themselves
from the charge of murder by declaring
that their victim was addicted to cannibal-
ism, and that having surprised Linn in the
act of feeding upon human flesh they killed
him on the spot. in accordance with their
custom. These Indians believe that when
one of their number once tastes human
flesh. even to assuage the pangs OF hunger
he becomes changed into a windigo or man
eating monster, who will not hesitate to
Kill in order to crafty his appetite when
ever the opportunity offers. They therefore
consider it a solemn duty, as well as a
simple act of self-preservation, to kill at
s-ght, II possible by a stellthy blow from
behind, any one known to have practiced
anthropophagy.
The missionaries say that It is usually
munger, and not passion for human flesh
that drives them to the practice Father
Dabion tells in his journal OF disease that
was quite common among some Of these
ihdians The victim suddenly became a
hypochondriac. his malady developing into
a mania In its succeeding stage the in
sane was seized with such hunger for hui
man flesh that he sprang like a famished
wolf upon all that he met In proportion -
says the good father, las he finds where
with to glut this hunger, ii grows like
thirst in dropSy, and accordingly the In
dams never fail to kill at once any one
seized with this disease
This will be the line of defense made on
behalf OF the present Indian prisoners at
Edmonton. Father Nedelac, who journeyed
as far north Lake Mistassini TO minister
to the Indians there reports the murder of
a young man, eighteen years of age, in
1861, by his own mother. for the same rea-
son, and another missionary tells the story
of the murder by another Indian woman of
two entire families with the exception of
one young man. The victims included two
men, two women, three boys and fcur girls
and she subSisted for some time upon their
flesh. The late Father Durocher converted
to Christianity a NaSeapee woman named
Veronique, who was an inveierate cannibal,
and only escaped death at the hands OF
other members of her tribe because of the
dread which she inspired IN them by reason
OF her powers as sorcereSs. Her first VIC
tim was her husband, who had Cied of star
walton, and she continued her feast until
she had devoured three of Ter children, two
of whom had died of hunger, while the
She next killed woman Of her own tribe,
who had herself Toasted upon the body of
one of her children and became food, In
turn, for the wretched Veronicue. 1t was
thought within the last few years that cam
nibalism was extinct among Canadian In
dians but the contrary Is evidently the

This preparation is called Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets. and 1t is claimed that one of these Tab
lets lozenses will digest from 300 to 5000 times
its own weight of meat, eggs and other wholesome
food. And this claim has been proven by actual
experiment in the following manner hard

then placed in the bottle and the proper tenn

few people are free from form of indigestion,

But all these simply superficial assistants
1t is impossible to have a good complexion unless
the digestive Organs perform their work properly;
unless ihe stomach by properly digestny the food
taken into 1t furnishes abundance of pure blood
good complexion is impossible
This is the reason many ladies are using
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets because they promptly
cure any stomach trouble. and they have fonnd out
that perfect digestion means perfect complex
and one that does not require cosmetics and pow
ders to enhance its beauty
Many ladies diet themselves or deny themst Ives
MANY articles OF food solely in order to keep their
complexion clear
When Stusrt's Dyspepsia Tablets are used no
such dieting is necessary. Take these tablets and
eat all the good, wholesome food you want. and
you need have fear of indigestion nor the sal

Corn.

The greatest in volume, and exceed

Indian corn may perhaps be classed
as the most important crop OF the
American farmer How the anclents
managed to get along without it for so
many ages is to us wonder. IL they

Indicate. they made such poor use of

ru. The modern world has great need
of if. and has found more uses for its

real the earth produces.
Some Florida planters disparage the
growing of corn, and say corn can be
purchased cheaper than grown" This
is not the case with the majority OF
thrifty farmers, and most of the corn
needed should be grown in the State.
Corn is a beautiful and pleasant crop
to cultivate It's rapid growth, matur-
ing four months after painting; it's
beautiful appearance, attracting the at,
tention of every passer; it's complete
absence of burrs, boards and thOrns,

the remarkable plants of this world.
