even among the savages Of French
Africa, who eat human flesh, there are
differences" said Paul PUGET, young
Italian traveller. Some while ago,
when exploring in that country, learn
ed a good bit about the ways Of the
various tribes. In a majority Of them
cannibalism is INDUCED only when the
bodies are those of prisoners taken in
battle. 1t is all right to eat persons
who belong to hostile clans, but it
would be gross violation Of tradition
and the custom Of the land to feast
upon the friends or even upon men,
bers of the same tribe. This delicacy
of sentiment, however, is not universal,
and in one tribe in particular, where l
noted the absence of any old persons,
l learned that 1t was the proper thing
to add the aged inhabitants to the To-
cal food supply. This confined the pop
ulation to the young and hardy, for
at the first signs of decrepitude the
boiling pot was called into requisi-
ton" -Washington Post

The pawning of the wedding ring has
become a pathetic commonplace to
those who are familiar with police
court and coroner's court stories or
with the private petitions for help Of
the deserving and undeserving poor.
But we confess that with the West
minister magistrate we have never
heard before of pawning bank books.
Yet on expert pawnbroker's evidence
elected by police inquiry it is found
that this is not at all an unusual prac-
tice. In the vast majority of cases it
would seem to be a simpler matter to
draw on the bank account rather than
borrow on the strength of it from the
pawnshop. But one of the unfortunate
possibilities of the practice is revealed
in the particular case mentioned at
Westminster. A picture frame maker,
wishing to withdraw E3 from the bank,
could not find his bank book and then
learned that his wife had been putting
the book in and out of pawn for eight
years, having borrowed tt los. on it
the first time, and Of course she had
been paying interest on her various
transactions.-Lond Pail Mall Ga

Is it too late to make a stand against
the mispronunciation Of the word
frieze as applied to Irish tweed? On
the other side of st. Georges channel
they know better than to confuse their
wall decoration with their dress ma
terial and pronounce the one freeze"
and the other "frise." So did we in
old England. Originally meaning the
curling nap on cloth-from the French
'friser," to curl; Welsh, "ffris,' nap
of cloth-frize, as it was then spelled
and pronounced, came to mean cloth
that had nap on one side and is now
applied to any rough kind of home
spun. We can be sure of the old pro-
nunciation from the motto worn by
Brandon, duke of Suffolk, when, on his
marriage with Henry Wills sister,
he appeared at a tournament on a
horse draped half in "frieze" and half
in cloth of gold
Cloth of gold, do not thou despise,
Though thou be matched with cloth of
frize;
Cloth of frize, be not thou too bold,
Though thou be matched with cloth of
gold.

When the average boy spends the de-
lighted hours Of imaginative youth in
devouring the pages of Robinson Cru
soc" he has, like most people of more
mature years, no idea that he is perus-
ing a work of profound philosophy
written by one of the greatest political
thinkers of the English speaking race.
Taken with knowledge of the facts
of the career of De Foe, Robinson
Crusoe" can properly be considered q
story intended to illustrate the heavy
burden of trouble placed upon any sim
gle individual isolated from his fellows
and compelled to maintain his exist
ence without their aid. The tale shows
in an inimitable way how all civilized
men are interdependent. Regarded
from this point Of view, the author of
the most widely read work of fiction
ever written becomes an object of par
ticular interest to all thinkers upon
politics. N. Hill, NJ. D., in

and cup bearer, the latter of whom
always accompanied him to a feast,
carrying before him the cup of gold,
silver crystal or marble, which his
master only used on state occasions.
Saucers for cups were introduced in
the latter part Of the eighteenth CEN
fury and at first were greatly ridicul.
ed, the persons who employed them be-
ing said not to be able to drink with
out having two cups.

Sir Humphry Davy married a widow
as peculiar as himself. His pet affec-

ways in a hurry. He pretended that
he had no leisure to dress himself, and
when change Of linen became neces-
sary he simply put one shirt over an
other until he was known to have on
five or six shirts at time. OF course
he could not wear this amount of ap-
parel without appreciably increasing
his size, and his friends not in the Sc
cret were sometimes surprised to see
him fall off in apparent weight twenty
pounds in day. His wife's great anx-
iety was to keep him eft for company"
but as he did not care a fig for COM
pany she had no easy task, and domes-
tic discord was a common thing.

When the reputability of phnning is
under discussion it is we'll to bear in
mind that the very name of the Jest
confesses to degree of atrocity. To
pun" according to the London Chron-
icle, is to pound words, to beat them
into forced conditions, so the philolo-
gists believe. He would pun thee into
shivers with his fist" says Thersites
in "Troilus and Cressida," meaning
physical pounding" Pun" is not
slipshod development of pound" but
its original form, the Anglo-Saxon verb
being "punian," and pun" or "poun"
having developed final 3D." just as
"soun" became sound and as the
illiterate turn gown" into "gownd."
Curiously enough, pun" and pound"
have no connection with punching" a
mans head. which is simply punish
ing" contracted, or with punching"
a ticket, which goes back to the Latin
'pungere," to prick or puncture.
