KING OF THE CANNIBAL ISLANDS.
After Becoming Convert to Christianity
! He Makes EXtraYagant Reparations

Strange and wonderful tales of the
cannibalS of the Southern Pacific Were
told by Rev. John Hopkins pcniSOn,
pastor of the Central Congregational
church who has recently returned from
the Island of New Britain. off the coast
Of New Guinea. says the Boston Tran
script. Mr.. Denison gave an illustrated
stereopticon talk in his church ut East
Boston, during which he told of his per-
Sonal observations of the habits of cam
nibalS. and especially those who had
recently been converted. The most re
markable case was that of Vobogo, ma
tive chieftain. who, according 10 the ac-
count given by Mr.. DcniSon, had gone
with his sling into nCighhoring viii
lagC Ind killed five men against whom
he cherished Il grudEe. lie carried all
five bodies back to his own hut and ate
them one by one. Shortly after this he
wan converted to Christianity. He then
returned to the village and made a
speech. Mounting 4 stump in the pres
ence of 4 vast asSemhla%e, he said
Once | came here with five stones,
with which | killed my enemies. Again
| come with five stones. but they are
stones of love" He then read them
five verses out of the Bible and returned
all the money he had stolen.
No one. said Mr.. pcuiSon. has ever
dared to cross the Island of New Britain
even 1T its narrowe>j point, where il Is
only eight miles wide Ii is one of tn,
most active seats of cauuihaliSm. and
has never been explored ten miles from
shore. The lecturer WAS told Ivy rcEIhl,
! witnesses on the island that the chief
tainS often Killed as many as two hun
dred persons at 4 time and hung Them
up to keep, cutting them down one by
one as they were wanted. Tohogo'S cN
plot of five bodies was one of the mi}deI
cases And after his conversion Il,
became so sensible of the error of his
ways that he sent Il message of good
will to the American people. telling OF
lis gratitude to the missionaries VIII"
had caused him 10 give UP his harharou>
diet. Mr.. DeniSon also exhibited Il skull
obtained from the top of one OF the poles
which are known among the natives n
tapu signs. He was told that ii had
once been the property of boy VIII,

Directions for Canning.

Before putting fruit in glass jars
wash them in soap sudS containing Il
little soda. Then rinse we'll with Scald-
ing water. and set i'll the sun TO dry.
If YOU want the flavor Of the fruit
% come out well do not use al excess
% sugar
Never use poor fruit for canning. The
best is none too good Let it be as
fresh as possible. ana not overripe
Have everything in readiness before
you begin operations The woman who
has to run to pantry or kitchen every
time a thing is wanted makes herself
double the work that's necessary.
Use the best grade Of sugar. It may
cost a little more than the ordinary,
but it will make your fruit enough bet
ter to pay the difference in cost.
DO not stir your fruit when 1t is cook
ing. If YOU want to know how il is
coming along, take out a piece OF it
without disturbing the rest.
Give it a brisk boiling. If allowed
to stand and simmer it will not retain
it's shape well. When the cans are
ready for sealing see that the covers
fit perfectly. Never use one that does
not hug down tightly to the shoulder OF
the jar
