The Word "Cannibalism."

The word "cannibalism' ia really the
name of a people. It is Identical with
Carib, many Of the Caribs, who for
merly tlourished in the West Indies,
having been consumers of human flesh.
The letters "l,' IN" and "r" are inter-
changeable in certain aboriginal Ameri-
can languages, SO that Columbus found
one West Indian island saying "Cani-
ba' where another said "Carib," while
Shakespeare's Caliban is another va
riety Of the same. Columbus own con-
lecture was that the name was con-
nected with the great khan, and later
philologists Of the old slapdash type as
ISOLATED with "canis," dog. APP
parently, however, the meaning Of
''carib" was brave and daring.
