ROAST BABY IS NOT BAD FOOD.
Verdict of Sea Captain Who Attended
South African BANQUET.


Queer things to eat and how they taste
had been the topic of conversation for half
an hour with little group of passengers
on a down East steamship. The list had
gone as far as rats when the captain join
ed the party and he listened respectfully
to the experience of those who had number
ed cats and horse flesh in their menu at
some period or other.
What was the worst thing you ever had
to eat, captain" some one asked him at
last.
well, I went to sea at Is years of age,
and for good many years 1 didn't have
much terrapin or canvasback duck, but
that didn't interfere with my growth to any
man of fine physique, drew himself up to
his full six feet. "But think 1 ate one
thing that no one else on this boat has
ever tasted and that is roast niger baby"
The captain paused while the exclama-
tions of horror spent themselves.
1T was in a South African port and the
natives were not reputed cannibals, and in
many ways they showed evidences of much
civilization; but they had a semi-religious
rite that called for the sacrifice of a child
at stated intervals. The choice was made
by lot, and the parents were expected not
only to consent unmurmingly but to partake
of the feast. BY some mischance l got my
self hidden to this ceremony, and l had
broad tip that it would be prudent for me
not to refuse. l therefore attended, and
SO did another white man, who was, lit
orally and figuratively in the same boat
with myself - .
Eyes, we ate somegof the baby 1t was
not SO bad, but have never hankered after
it SINCE
The captain went back to the bridge and
the drift Of the talk turned away from
things to eat.

The Philippine Campaign Compared
With England's Work in India.
The Americans are too much in a hurry
over their great task in the Philippines.
They imagined, We fancy, that, Spanish
government having been so bad, the Tag
ais. the dominant race in Luzon, would well
come them as deliverers, or, at all events,
after a very brief struggle would acuuiesce
in their rule. They forgot that though
Theebaws rule was probably worse than
that Of the Spaniards, the Burmese fought
much as out of desire to be let alone.
The Tagals are lighting just as the Bur-
mese 'dacoits" fought, with this further
advantage that they are better armed, that
they have in Aguinaldo a general leader.
whom they trust or fear and that they have
a system OF forest warfare almost as skill
full as that which enabled the Maories so
long to hold us at bay. They do not, it is
true, build stockades as the New Zea-
landers did, but they excavate deep trenches
which they defend until the invaders are
actually upon them, and then renew a few
miles OF. Such defenses are most difficult
to carry, while when carried the victory
does not produce the moral impression
which in Asia, as in Europe, follows upon
victory in a pitched battle. Such war
fare taxes the best men, and the Americans
are further hampered with difficulties with
which of late years we have not had to
contend. They have no traditions to
guide them, and do not see clearly what
1t is that they want Their chief officers
are not always up to their work and keep
on fighting as If victory in a succession
of skirmishes would give them hold upon
the country. They do not apparently es-
tablish any kind of civil order, and con-
sequently whether they win or lose hold on
ly the ground they stand on.
The English create civil administration
at once, support it with troops, cut roads
all events the passive support of that
general mass which wants first of all to
go on with its accustomed life and pro-
vide its own dinner in peace. 1t seems
probable, too, to observers on this side,
that Gen. Otis Is a bad organizer. He
seems to think that sending detachments
to fight their way through tropical coun-
try Is equivalent to conquering it, where
as he should proceed step by step, estab-
fishing posts or forts as he goes, on cutting
roads between them and setting up a civil
authority in ever fresh district occupied.
Above all. he should set himself to create
native regiments, who will spare his Amer
leans fatigue duty, who know the country
and who will divide the native interest, and
above all, who will not die on like flies in
winter.
