Etiquette of Cannibalism.

even among the savages of French
Africa, who eat human flesh, there are
differences" said Paul Pucci, a young
Italian traveller. "Some while ago,
when exploring that country, l learned
a good bit about the ways of the vari-
GUS tribes. In a majority of them
~cannibalism is INDUCED in 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 a gross violation of tradition
and the custom of the land to feast
upon friends or even upon members Of
the same tribe. This delicacy of sem
timent, however, is not universal, and
in n tribe in particular, where 1
noted the absence of any old persons,
/ learned that it was the proper thing
to add the aged inhabitants to the local
food supply. This confined the popu-
lation to the young and hardy, for at
the first signs of decrepitude the boil
ing pot was called into re~quisition."-

WIRELESS RECORDS BROKEN.

The Washington Navy Yard Gets a
Message From Guantanamo, Cuba.
Washington, D. C.-The results of
the wireless telegraph tests which
were made by the Navy Department
show that some records We're broken.
The station at the Washington Navy
Yard received a message direct from
Guantanamo, Cuba, and from Colon,
Panama, through Guantanamo. The
sending of the message from the Cuban
station clear to Washington just about
breaks a record. New Orleans. La.
was heard from in a roundabout way,
which the officials here have not vet
figured out. The station at Key West
apparently broke down and for that
reason the work was somewhat ham
pered.
The instructions which were sent out
to those in charge of the stations up
and down the coast and in Cuba and
Panama were to make reports to the
Bureau of Equipment of the Navy
Department at once. 1t is expected
that these reports will be all in within
a week or two. They will be carefully
studied by the experts here.

Logical JuryInan.

For nearly six hours had the court
been c~onvulsed with the evidence
given in a sensational action for breach

letters had been read, commented up

had spoken, the judge had summed up,

doesn't ask damages for blighted at

Keeping Good Companv.

Experienced advertisers thoroughly
understand the Importance of keeping
good company-a matter that does not
always impress itself upon beginners.
Therefore novices in the field of pub
licity before spreading their wings for

the advertising tone of the medium
they contemplate employing. Are the
reputable advertisers there? Is objec.

character of the advertising columns
such that they are likely to appeal to
people of taste and refinement? These
are vital questions which may as well

NATIVE NEW WORKERS SCARCE.
About One Out of Every Ten in the
City Population.

City Population.
Now that thirty emergency" census
takers finished the tail end of their
work a few days ago we may soon
have light on an interesting question
that this enumeration will throw some
light upon. Out of Gotham's 100000
souls how many are actual New York
ers-persons born in this city? TAX
ing the last federal census as a criter-
ion there is about one native born"
New Yorker out of every ten in popu-
lation. Still, even this small balm to
Knickerbocker families-390 ,000--Cer-
sons-has to be greatly reduced, for In
it is included every person of whom
no actual knowledge could be obtained
of whom the haste of the census
tempted to throw under this general
heading. Amateur statisticians have
decided that there are about 10000
citizens of New York who have been
born of parents natives of this coun-
try. These delivers in the census re-
suits are of the opinion that If the
qualification were that both their par
ents were natives of this country not
more than 5000 persons could qualify
as New Workers of the second Alneri-
can generation. Children of parents
who were born abroad numbered l.
$4,000 in the last federal census.
There were then more than 400 900
Americans here who we're born in 9TH
er states, New York state leading with
a contribution of 125,002 and New Jer-
sey following with $1,000; 81 5000 were
born in Pennsylvania, $4,000 in Mass
%achusetts, while 22,000--a compare
lively large number-were born in
Virginia. Therefore the descendants
of the Knickerbockers are wofully out
numbered in population if not in
money and real estate.
