THE vooDoo IN HAITI.
Human Sacrifices to the God of the
Serpent.

Human Sacrifices to the God of the
Serpent.
There is ample proof that human be-
ings have been offered as sacrifices to
the god of the serpent in Haiti. A
French archbishop of the island de-
scribes a visit made by one of the
priests to a voodoo assembly. The
man had disguised himself as negro,
and he was thus able to mingle unde-
tected with the crowd in the obscurity
outside the sacred circle. After the
white cock and white goat had been
slain and offered up and their blood
had been sprinkled on the company
burly young negro came forward and
Frustrated himself before the priestess.
Then, still kneeling, he made his
prayer:
20 maman, 1 have a favor to ask of
thee"
what is it, my SOM" said the
negress encouragingly.
"Wilt thou not give us, to complete
the sacrifice, the goat without horns?"
The priestess gave q sign of assent.
The crowd roundabout separated, and
there was revealed a child sitting with
it's feet bound. The French priest
rushed away in search Of assistance in
preventing the unholy rite, but the
authorities on whom he called were
strangely slothful. When finally, on
the day following, they arrived at the
place Of assembly, they found the
grewsome remains of sacrifice and
feast, among them the boiled skull of
the child.-Marvin Dana in Metropoli-
tan Magazine.

When Men Hurry.

Singular" said a man waiting for a
train on an elevated railroad platform
and looking down a street to where a
hundred men and boys had gathered
around two wagons that had come to.
gether in collision, "there are a hun
dred men standing around those two
wagons just standing there, gawping.
apparently with nothing else to do
and not in a bit of hurry, but let any
one of those men come up the stairs
to this platform when there is train
coming in and he'd rush and hurry and
tear himself apart to catch that train
and get glum if he missed it, though
he knew very well that there'd be an
other train here in minute. Let him
miss a train by second and he
thinks the world is coming to an end;
let him see somebody hosting a safe
up the outside of a building and he
will stop and waste half an hour.

Private Companies Better.

All this talk of municipal owner
ship which has been going the rounds
here Of late is i'll advised, in my opin-
ion. 1t isn't practical, and every city
has found TO its cost that poorer serv-
Ice has been derived from municipality
owned plants than from the corpora
lions owned and run on business prin-
ciples by private capitalists.
Statistics bear me out in this. You
can take 100 towns that have munich
pally owned lighting plants and you
will find all sorts of schedules prevail
ing-moonlight schedules, dark night
schedules and, in fact, everything but
a clear schedule for light every night
Mt a stated price, no matter what
weather conditions prevail. You can't
tell anything about the cost of these
plants, and YOU get poorer service.
The temptation to inject politics into
the management of these municipal
plants is too strong for the average
man to resist. and in most every mu-
nicipally owned plant you viii find it
run to the benefit Of the ruling party
and not to the benefit Of the citizens.
The tendency is TO employ friends Of
the management. and all this talk Of
divorcing business Of the city from
politics Is bosh AS long as human
nature remains the same it will not be
done, no matter who gets the Office

PAINTINGS Of Primitive Man.

Prehistoric paintings recently IN
earthed show man to have been like
an ape. The only known examples Of
paintings Of men by prehistoric cave
decorators have been discovered lately
by Professor Rene Leaunel in the
Portel grotto, a cave of Louhens, in
Ariege, France, where Noulet already
had found quaternaTy remains and hui
man bones. About forty sketches in
black or red, only one in both colors,
adorn the cave as frescoes, and two
represent men Of a primitive type,
while the others show bisons, boars
and horses. OF the human figures one
has Il long head, with retreating fore
head, while the other shows a remark
able apelike pose, with rounded back
and arms pendent in front. There is Il
crouching boar, but the horses are
mostly galloping and poorly drawn, al
though the forequarters of a horse are
quite skillfully figured in black on one
Of the darkest walls of the cavern.

CITIES QUIT BUSINESS.
Municipal Lighting Plants Prove Elk
pensive Luxuries.


The city electric plant of Laurens,
S. c., was installed in 1897 at a cost
Of $4,000. The generating plant has
now been shut down, contract for
current having been made with pri-
vate company.
In 1905 Pontotoc, Miss, purchased
the local electric plant for $4,000. Two
years later it sold it ior $1,000 because,
as the mayor writes, sit didn't pay ex-
penses." Another citizen writes that
the sale was due to dissatisfaction
with municipal management"
Portland, Ind. installed an electric
plant in 1892 at a cost of $4,000. Six
years later the generating plant was
shut down, and a contract for current
was made with a private company.
The village electric plant of Lock-
port, ILL.,, installed at a cost Of $4,000,
was leased about a year ago to the
sanitary district of Chicago for NOM
inal consideration, as the plant was
failure.
The electric light and water plant of
Hickman, KY installed by the city at
a cost Of $4,000, was leased in 1906
to the Hickman Ice and Coal company
for term of twenty years. The
mayor assigns as the reason that "the
plant was not self sustaining"
