The Mnn Eating nnttnr.

The man eating Battas of North Sumatra have a postal system. They make use of hollow tree trunks at cross roads, and these primitive letter boxes are largely patronized by young men and women, who read and write and correspond in a degraded native script which is traced on palm leaves In vertical lines that run upward and from left to right. These Battas, though undOubted cannlbals, are skilled In agriculture and In raising stock. They form large communities, have an organized government, hereditary chiefs. popular assemblies and writ. ten civil and penal code. Their pictur, esque dwellings have been compared to Swiss chalets, and the ground floor Is reserved for their live stock. For their skill in ironwork, pottery and weaving they are probably indebted to HindOc teaching. and their repulsive habit is combined with a belief in a triune deity, Creator, Preserver and Destroyer.

WONDERFUL CURE BY
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Last year at this time 1 suffered with tremendous itching on my back, which grew worse and worse, un- til it spread over the whole body, and only my face and hands were free. For four months or so l suffered the torments of the damned, and 1 had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until l bled. At night when l went to bed things got worse, and l had at times to get up and scratch my body all over, until l was as sore as could be, and until 1 suffered excruciating pains. l did not know what it was, and rcsorted to a number of blood purifiers, using at times also Cuticura Soap. They told me then that 1 was suffering from eczema. Then I made up my mind that 1 would also use Cuticura Oint- ment and Cuticura Resolvent. l used themaccording to instructions, and very soon indeed l was greatly relieved. 1 continued until well, and now l am ready to recommend the Cuticura Rem edies to any one who suffers as did your obedieut servant.

Drinking Hot Water.

There are four classes of persons who should not drink large quantities of hot water: First, people who have lrritability of the heart. Hot water will cause palpitation of the heart in such cases. Second, persons with di- lated stOmachs. Third, persons af- fllcted with sour stomachs. Fourth, persons who have soreness of the stom- ach or pain induced by light pressure. These rules are not for those who take hot water simply to relieve thirst, but as a means of washing out the stom- ach. Hot water will relieve thirst bet ter than cold water and for that pur- pose Is not to be condemned. But hot water Is an eXcitant and in cases in which irritation of the stomach exists should be avoided.

Fourteenth Century Life.

In the fourteenth century people lived in mud hutS, with a rough door and no chimney It was not till q cen tury later that yhe erection of a chim- ney was considered more than an in- dulgence in luxury, q fire commonly being built against the mud plastered wall of the hut and the smoke escap- ing through the roof. All furniture was of wood Most persons slept on straw pallets, with log of wood for q pillow. Even the nobility had no glass in the windows during this time. Cleanliness was not a characteristic of the people, and Thomas a'Becket was considered more than necessarily nice because he had the floor of his house strewn with fresh straw each day.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25.-Mrs. Can
field, wife of multi. millionaire and oil
magnate r. c. Garfield, a prominent so
ciety woman Of Los Angeles was shot
and almost instantly killed from the
porch Of her residence tonight. Her
slayer is Morris Buck, former coach
man. According to his own story,
which he related to the officer who cap
tured him, Buck wrote Mrs. Canfeld
demanding payment Of large sum Of
money which he claimed was due him.
He says the letter received no re-
sponse and he determined to seek per-
sonal interview. He went to the Canfeld
residence and when he renewed his de-
mand, Mrs. Canfeld ordered him OF the
premises. A household servant started
to attack him and Buck drew y re-
volyer Mrs. Garfield siezed the weap-
on and attempted to wrest it from him.
During the scufile he pulled the trig-
ger and the bullet struck Mrs. Canfeld
in the breast and she fell back on the
porch. According to the neighbors
Buck fired second shot, striking Mrs.
Garfield in the abdomen, after she fell.
The first shot went directly through her
heart. In addition to the gun which
was used, on Bucks person were found
another revolver and long dirk knife.
Mrs. Garfield is mother of large family.
