FIJI ISLANDERS.
Talk With a cannibaI on Taste Of Human
flesh.

A writer in the Scientific American
says of recent visit to the Fiji Is
lands: II met an aged man at Mibau
who gave me much interesting infor.
nation on cannibalism. His father.
he said, had been famous trenc her
man in the good old days, and although
he denied that he himself had ever eat
en- the flesh of his kind, yet in the
course of his description he fingered
my arms and pinched my legs and pok-
ed me in the ribs in a manner which
seemed to me not altogether platonic.
Fijian flesh, be stated, was superior to
that of white men, who tasted of the
salt they ate with almost everything
while tough old sailor was practical
ly a waste of raw material from the
tobacco and grog with which life be-
fore the mast had tendency to flavor
the human system. InterI0gated as
to choice cuts, he gave the palm to the
head&the brain and eyes being parti-
cularly desirable, and the cheeks,
especially in young subjects. submit
ing to baking very kindly indeed. The
upper part of the arm, too, and the
calf and upper portion of the leg, were
not to be despised-but, said the epi-
cure, as for the rest of the body. throw
him away In the afternoon this in
teresting savage came around for me
to get my gun and 60 into he bush
with him. where he would show me
plenty of parrots After the enthu-
siasm of his morning description,
however, thought it prudent to de-
cline"
The Fijians are stalwart race;
very tall and muscular. for the most
part, their skins arc soft as velvet from
anointing with coanut oil, their count
enances strong and in most cases
pleasing, rather than fOrbidding. A
thing that at once impresses the visit
or is the varied and striking manner in
which both men and women-the
former especially-arrange their hair.
Here man is seen whose pate seems
covered with thick coating of white
wash; there another, whose locks,
radiating in every direction from his
skull as if they were electrified. could
hardly be inserted in a bus hel basket.
The former state is but preliminar y
to the second. The natives plaster
their hair with kind of paste made of
powdered coral mixed with water,
which, after hardening and then be-
ing broken up, stiffens the hair and
bleaches it from it's natural black to
odd shades of red and dull yellow
thus producing strange effects in com.
bination with the ark-brown skins OF
the people.-Chi cago News.

Died.

Nellie Edna Yeago, daughter OF
Chas. Yeago and wife, of near Newport,
Augusta county, died Aug. 14th, 1902,
at the early age of IA years. While
she had not been we'll for some months,
it was not, until the last few hours OF
her stay on earth that the end was
thought to be so near at hand. Ine
cause of her death was consumption
This bereavement falls heavily upon the
parents and friends. but while to be
separated is sad, yet the last moments
of her life were filled with sunshine,
calling her loved ones around her bed
she gave to them the brightest assur-
ance concerning the future, and bade
them meet her in heaven.
Her life was as gentle and sweet as
the summer breeze, and she leaves TO
her associates an example OF early
conservation to the Masters cause, al
example worthy of the closest linl1a
tiOn.
She was member OF the UnlteC
Bretbr church at Mt. Zion, and nc
doubt she longed to worship In thf
new church which is being built on tat
site of the old church, but the Coco
Lord willed otherwise, and took her u
worship Him in the New Jerusalem

DANGER in CHEAP PERFUMES.
They Are SAID to Have Bad Effect on
the N0strlIs.

According to local perfumery deal
er, cheap perfumes are gradually dead
ening the nOstrils of those who come
in contact with them.
1.-THE perfumes that were popular a
few years ago you wOuldn t notice
now" be said: Before long they will
have to make violets and roses as
strong as onions or pennyroyal before
you can sell them"
Making due allowance for the hyper
bole of an older generation, there may
be something in this theory.
Violet is by all odds the most popu.
lar perfume of this year. Glover, )"
according to some, would stand second.
Rose, of course, is perennially popular.
Glover" by the way, is not made from
clover blossoms at all. The ordinary
white and red clover has very little
odor, and what it has would not be
particularly agreeable If detached from
a landscape and waving field. so the
perfumer makes combination OF es.

the tall ''sweet clover" and calls II

and the carnation have also been pro-

means. Ten years ago the idea OF i'm

Sachet powders are again waning in

THE CATALPA SPECIOSA.
Farmers Can Plant No Tree Which Il
More Ornamental or Useful
Than This One.

Catalpa speciosa is a soft wood, and
all soft woods that l am acquainted
with, with the exception of this one,
are OF little value except for inside
work. What gives catalpa wood its re.
markable durability is not yet well un-
derstood, but experience has proven it
to be far more durable than oak, both
in the ground and above it. 1t grows
very rapidly from seed. Iplanted some
seed in a piece of rich soil, and many
of the plants reached height of five
feet that season. The seedlings have
an immense tap root that goes deep
into the ground and makes the digging
of the seedlings, if well grown, no easy
task. The wood of these young trees
has much the appearance Of cotton
wood, and one would judge it to be Of
little value, but as the trees increase
in size the wood becomes more dense,
though never hard like oak. No matter
how dry it becomes it is never hard to
cut or drive nails into, and for this rea-
son it would make much better post
than oak, even if it did not last three
or four times as long as oak.
This is the wood for farmers to grow.
If they would plant billion trees this
year it would mean that the country
would soon be billion dollars richer.
If you can buy the seedlings buy them.
They can be had for about three dollars
a thousand. If you cannot afford seed
nngs buy an ounce of seed, sow it in
drills in rich soil. keep all weeds out,
and next spring set the trees where
they are to stand. Whether you buy
the seedlings or seed be sure that they
are Speciosa. Be doubly sure oft. If
you have rough spot or side hill
cover it with this valuable tree. Set
them about six by eight feet apart, and
when they reach post size cut out each
alternate tree. leaving them eight by
IL feet apart. The catalpa must have
room. It will not bear crowding after
it gets up 30 feet or so. The seed Is
winged like mapla seed and should be
covered about an inch deep. Drop them
about six inches apart. If the seed
does not all appear sound drop two in a
hill. Ifplanted where they are to stand
permanently drop three in place, and
pull out all but one plant when foot
high. Both seed and seedlings can be
had at the leading nurseries.-Fred
