A CREW OF CANNIBAIS.

Tales of cannibalism and the massa- ere of blacks on the savage islands of New Britain, New Ireland. the Solo, mons and the Admiralty group have been brought to civilization by the lit tie schooner MaScotte. which docked at Howard wharf 3. says the San Fran cisco Chronicle. Eighteen former can n1bals. some brown. some black as night, stood at the rail of the schoon- CT as she passed up the bay and gazed 1n aStoniShment toward the shore For the first time in their lives they looked upon fleets of big ships and massive buildings that seemed to cover all the land. The whiStling of the tugboatS and the churiling of SideWheelerS came before their vision like the opening of another world The utter indefference that has characterized them since they were taken in hand q few months ago by Captain MeccO of the Mascotte dis appeared as the strange sights and sounds fell upon them and in the gut teral tongue of the maneater. they spoke one to the other and pointed at the wonderful subjects.
 Long after the MaScotte's lines were fast the blacks remained at the rail. They Were bashful when men showed an inclination to give them close in spection. but when q small boy ap- preached the side of the schooner a dozen of the eX-cannibals evinced q lively interest ill him. beckoning to him to come aboard The little fel- low did not show q reciprocal spirit, and walked away. Tobian. the 1U- year-Old son of the chief of Matupi
 was disappointed and jumped back to the deck from a position he had reached Cn the railing ill his desire to get ac- quainted with the white boy AmaZ- ing as the water front appeared to these men from the cannibal islands. they have vet to mix ill the great crowds on the streets tip town. Cable and electric cars and q locomotive they
 have not yet seen.
 Captain Mecco. who is a slender young German. went out to the is lands of the Bismarck archipelago two years ago to engage in trading, and
 has had thrilling experiences. But he is going back. The cannibals C1
 the Admiralty islands have said that
 they will eat his body for the punish
 ment he has inflicted upon them. but
 Captain Mecco laughs. Down ill the

THE FULL DINNER PAIL.

."rhe .full-dinner-pail' slogan which the republicans worked to such |; iraz- Zle during the late ca ampaign was nit upon by mere accident" said Il New York newspaper. man, who was in. the city recently. r'.'rhe idea suggested itself one day to Grant Hamilton. who is the present art editor of Judge, but when he mentioned it to his as sOciates in the office they received it coldly. You see. Hamilton comes from a small town ill Ohio, where dinner pailS are as plentiful as black berries. but in New York no work man would thing of Juggling around such a machine, and they are almost absolutely unknown. None Of the fel- lows in the Judge office had ever seen one. What do they look like, any hoW:' asked q member of the staff. I'll draw you diagram. replied Hamilton, but when he attempted to do so he found that he had forgotten how the confounded thing looked. He couldn't remember whether the cup attachment was on the top or the bot tom. Just then Zimmerman. the car icaturist, came in. Hello. Zim! ex- claimed Hamilton. did you ever see dinner pail-an old fashioned tin dinner pail. with a knife sticki1t [; on the outside Did r. replied Zim. who boasts of having painted signs in his early days; why, 1 used to carry one of 'cm myself" However. when he attempted to draw q picture of the contrivance he fell down almost as hard as his chief. Til go out and find one of the real things he said. and. accordingly. he and Flohri and Tom Higgins. of the Judge art de- partment, organized themselves into an exploring expedition and started out. After much proving they dis covered bona tide pail at a house. hold supply store and bore it back in triumph. Hamilton used it as a model for full dinner pail which he in troduced into his next cartoon. and the thing made such hit that it was soon afterward adopted as campaign emblem by the republican national committee, New Orleans Times Democrat.

The reception which President Kru- ger got in France cannot but be bit ter to the English. English liberals will recall the day, says writer, when those who fought fer, the liberties of tEeir country found q warmer reception in England than anywhere else. They will think of the great demonstrations in the case of Kossuth in 1851, when the corporation 4of London presented the Hungarian chieftain with an ad- dress of sympathy, and besides the crowds which thrcnged his way in the streets, 25,GOO people gathered in Co., penhagen Fields to express their re spect for him. while addresses poured in from Birmingham. Manchester and every town of note in the Kingdom. They will not forget the reception ac corded to Garibaldi in 1851, when business in London had to be suspend ed on the day of his entry, and it took him four hours to make his way from the railroad station to his hotel, so dense wasstli crowd awaiting him at every point; and that for ten, days there was a succession of enthusiastic welcomes and demonstrations to ''the Lii;erator of Italy, Englishmen felt good in those days, as being the people who sympathized with oppressed na- tionalities, and protected exiles from every European country. Proportion ally must they feel bitter at contem- plating the continental receptions to the representative of people whose courage and heroism have never been suppressed in modern warfare, at Knowing that this courage and heroism were arrayed in defense of nationality and liberty against their own forces. and at feeling themselves thus sharply criticised by the public opinion of Flu rope.

There is War on between the men who bossed Mir Mckinley's campaign and Mr McEinley's cabinet. The men who bossed the campaign compelled the republicans on the house ways and means committee to make d reduction of 25 cents net. g barrel. in the beer tax. although it made the total of the revenue reduction bill. now before the house, exceed $40.000.0OO. instead of keeping it inside of S30.OU0.0UO as recommended by Mr Mckinley. The cabinet objects and has been even talk ing of fighting the bosses in congress. but word from Mir Mckinley will probably result in making it plain to them that the bosses are not doing more than they were bound to do. One republican. speaking of the cabinet kicks. said: Why, instead of kicking, these men ought to be thankful that the brewers are not demanding the $1 barrel reduction they were led to believe before the election that they would get; these men in the cabinet would know whole heap more about practical politics if they would work for q while with men who raise the money for q national campaign. Of course Mae will quiet them: hs knows" Some are predicting that the l,ill will be allowed to fail iii the ;en- ate. Representative Richardson pre- sented the minority report on the rev- enue reduction bill. IL does not CD pose any of the reductions made. but favors q more extensive reduction in 1. war taxes.

 Attorney Kellogg said that the great CT part of the bill to be introduced at
 the next legislature has been outlined and drawn up, and unless the commit tee will undo it at the meeting this evening it will stand. and the greater part of the committees work will be done. When asked to tell what this constituted he said he could not do so and be consistent. but that all the ob- iections to consolidation that have ap- peared in letters ill the papers have been removed, which proved to Mr kel- logg that the project will be successful.

1t Pays to Know Your Business.

The career of H. H. Vreeland, Presi-
dent of the Metropolitan Traction Company
and one of the most talked about men in
New York at present, differs from that of
most self made men, Like all the rest, he
started with nothing, finding his first rail
road employment in shoveling gravel at IS
cents day; but, unlike most of his class,
his rise was far from steady Several
times he gained position only to lose it,
and had to start again at the bottom of
the ladder. Yet, at the early age of 43
he finds himself rich man at the head of
one of the most powerful combinations of
railways in the world. And he did it all
by sticking to one principle, that of study
ing his work, whatever it was, until he
knew all about it. Starting as grocer 5
boy, he first attracted attention, and Sc
cured promotion by showing that he knew
how to handle horse When he shovel
ed gravel his boss presently found that he
knew more about gravel than any other
man on the gang. When he became a
brakeman he could tell his employers more
about the road than his superiors knew
Put in charge of a train on little impov-
erished railroad, he managed to secure for
the road an amount of business that made
it pay. Finally, capitalists got to know
him as a man who knew his business thor
oughly, and as they are always in need of
such men to carry on their enterprises,
they took him up and gave him the most
important work they had. Now he prac-
tically controls the great Whitney Widener-
Elkins street railway syndicate, for as Mr..
Whitney says s'We always do exactly as
Mr.. Vreeland says, because he has never
given US bad advice. It was Mr.. Vree-
land who advised the purchase of the Third
Avenue system, which made such sensa-
tion in the financial world few days ago,
and the purchase was made simply because
he advised it.

10000 Miles of Lightning.
From the New York Sun


One of the most wonderful things that
can be imagined in the operation Of one 5
daily affairs is that message may be de-
posted in San Francisco telegraph Office
and in due course of time, say ID hours,
that same message in the very language in
which it was written can be delivered in a
sealed envelope to some particular person
in some particular street in, say, Yelling
ton, New Zealand, fully 20, 900 miles from
the place of its original departure. This
message will have crossed the North Amer
lean Continent, passing through the hands
of the private companies of Canada or Of
the United States, over the Atlantic cable
to the public lines of Great Britain, and
then, if sent via the Northern route, will
pass into the care Of Danish company,
going through Norway and Sweden, which
would deliver it to the Russian State tele
graph, which would send it across Russia
and Siberia to Vladivostock on the Pacific,
where the Danish company would then
transmit it to Hong Kong and deliver it to
English companies, who would, with the
aid of the Colonial and Indian Government
telegraph, carry it to Australia and thence
to New Zealand. The value of the Inter-
national Telegraph Burean is here clearly
seen, for through its influence every one of
the organizations through whom this mes
sage will pass guarantees its passage with
out inspection (except in case Of war dis
turbances) and does its utmost to secure
rapid and exact transmission. The exact
cost of the message is also known in advance
instead of list of the charges of the various
Governments and companies concerned in
the puzzliug moneys which some of them
use. Over the route which has been men
toned the Cost would be about 50. 85 per
word. Ifsent via Vienna, Constantinople.
Bagdad, Calcutta, Singapore and Sidney
its cost would be about s1.66 per werd,

Prohting by a Pest.
From the New York Sun.

Everybody has heard of the extraordi-
nary ravages of the European rabbits that
were introduced into Australia years ago.
The animals were imported so that the
British subjects who had removed to the
antipodes might enjoy the sport Of rabbit
hunting. They had more sport than they
bargained for and the whole country re-
grets the day the little animal was intro
duced to Australian scenes. There are
many millions Of them now and the little
nibblers eat the grass that is required for
fiocks and herds, destroy fields, orchards
and gardens and are the great nuisance of
the country The rewards offered by the
various colonies for some sure way. OF de-
stroying the pest would make the fortune
of the man who should discover the pro-
cess
Today, however, the Australians ap-
pear to be little more resigned unde the
infection The idea occurred to them,
while ago, that they might utilize the ami
NAL on a large scale as commercial COM
modify So they set to work to kill rab-
bits by the thousands, can the meat and
send it to Europe in cold storage. Aus
tralian canned rabbit sells at a cheap price
in the British markets and is beginning to
be largely consumed by those who cannot
afford very often to indulge in prime besf.
The largest consignment Of rabbit, this
far, left Melbourne last year, part Of
steamer load being Is, 900 cases Of cans,
containing $50, 900 rabbits Australia
has found new industry. and who knows
but some day the rabbit may come to be
regarded as one Of the great resources Of
the continent

Damp cupboards and rooms can be made
dry and airy by placing basin of fresh
lime where the moisture penetrates, to the
detriment of food, linen, etc. The lime
quickly absorbs the unwholesome humidity,
and the remedy need only; be repeated
every now and then. In living rooms,
which are not to be depended upon as be-
ing as dry as would be desirable, it is ad-
visable to place saucers containing salt
