DAINTY CANNlBAL DISHES.
Hands and Feet Regarded by Man
Eaters as Great Luxuries--
Wealth OF Liberia.

London.-That there is epicurianism
among cannibals was shown by Sir Har-
ry Johnston, the African explorer, lec-
turing before the Royal Geographical
society, on Liberia, the independent
coast land of West Africa, which is the
end of northern Guinea,
Within the limits of the forest, he
said. there was no doubt that cannibal-
ism prevailed. 1t was a marked feature
in the life of the Bella. These people
are said to relish most keenly the hands
and feet, and this very dainty dish is
usually set before a king or chief alone" ;"
Another interesting feature men,
toned was that in Liberia no one had
ever observed complete nudity among
either men or women. The minimum
concession to clothing was a strip of
bast Ozark cloth from a fig tree. Lii
berians did not wear dressed skins, for
a gastronomical reason
Il am told said the lecturer. that
so greedy are they after food that when
any beast is killed the hide is roasted
and eaten"
Sir Harry says that the great wealth
Of Liberia lies in its rubber, the trade
in which is there still in its infancy,

when the dog with them started a
large animal in a thicket, They tried
10 send the dog into the bushes, but
he covered away. Suddenly an i'm
mense California lion left the cover
and ran up large oak tree near by.
There were no weapons in the crowd, /,
and Robinson was afraid TO send one
Of the men to the wagon for rifis
lest they lose sight entirely of the
animal.
Accordingly they formed a Gordon
around the tree and let their riatas at
the lion. The animal stood at bay and
warded off the rawhides with his
paws. The men mad almost despaired
Of accomplishing anything, when Selby
Trimble, the crack rider of the Nor
row ranch volunteered to leave the
circle and climb a nearby tree to en-
deavor to cast the rope in a different
manner. He did this at the risk Of his
life. After repeated failures he sue
ceeded when the lions head was
turned the opposite way. The other
riatas fell quickly one after the other
and the animal was hung then and there.
The skin is in beautiful condition
and measures over seven feet from tip
to tip. 1t is at present at the Santa
Clara tannery.

PAWNED HIS OWN HEAD.

There is a cabman in LonGOn whose
head is not his own. This Goes not
quite mean that he has lost his head.
1t is his and it is not his, says the De-
troit Free Press.
In freakish mood nature gave him

During the recent cab strike. when
fares were few and he was hard pressed
for cash, the cabman conceived the idea
Of selling his head. 1t occurred TO the
resourceful cabman that his peculiarly
shaped and ponderous head might be
of some value to medical science.
Being an old man he imagined that q
price offered for his head should be
greater because of the prospect OF his
soon having done with it in the crdi-
nary course.

odd proposition were enthusiastic over
