Although the fork was introduced
into France % years later its pOpu-
larity among Europeans was OF slow
growth Perhaps che reason for the de

strenuous opposition OF the Roman

its use by the Gle gy. and IN all ecclesi-

STRANGE NEW ZEALAND
SOON TO BE SEEN BY TARS

The battle feet IS 20 visit Australia
and New Zealand. II is said. We know
a little Of the former, practically moth

declared 70 be the foremost country in
the world south Of the equator. Our
jackies may learn much there.
The original New Zealanders were
known as the most ferOciOus cannibais
and the most warlike savages; but they
possessed many noble and affectionate
traits. The warm bodies Of their enc
mics were cut IN pieces, broiled and de-
Voured with peculiar satisfaction They
were big, gaunt fellows, Of immense
muscular force and great sagacity.
Many an aristocTat IN the country OF
Tasmah today can trace his lineage
back through two centuries TO ancestors
who dined on the choicest cuts OF the
human body and enlivened the feast
with traditional songs, accompanying
themselves with a rude flute made OF

It IS not so many decades ago, says
the New York Press, when Lord Ma

ignorant and savage New Zealander''
to stand upon a broken arch OF London
bridge and sketch the ruins OF St
Pauis.
About that time It was known in Eng
land that the New Zealanders inferred
their dead, and they also believed thar
the third day after burial the heart sep
arGted itself from the corpse and was
carried 70 the clouds by an attendant
spirit. OF course, slavery and poIygamy
were permitted.
Among the New Zealanders suicide
was an honorable way of shutting OF
the mortal coil. People took their lives
on the slightest provOcation and often
without provocatiOn. For instance, a
wife, beaten for some slight fault by
her husband, would hang herself i'm
mediately.
There was no such system as divorce.
