A Hilarious. but Sensible Fourth.

u Plea for CarnlbaIisn1.

The physician took a little more tur-
key.
I'VE digest turkey easily" he said.
because the flesh resembles our own.
A turkey eats grain, meat, fish, pretty
much everything tasty; we do the
same. and, hence, human flesh and
turkey flesh are a good deal alike.
Fish digest fish best. Carnivorous
animals, If fed on the flesh OF carniv-
ores, keep in the best condition. When
snake goes off its feed, the trainer
socn brings it round with a mea! or
two of snake meat.
These and similar facts have been
proved strikingly by Emil Fischer, the
Berlin chemist. The most digestible
and the most economical food, Fisch-
cr's experiments show. Is that which
is more like the feeder The most in
digestible, costly and least nourishing
food Is that which is most unlike the
feeder. Cannibalism, in other words,
is the most reasonable food law, and
vegetarianism is the most unreason.

SUFFER AND. DIE IN a WRECK.
Fishermen Have Terrible Experiences
or Coast Of Iceland.

A terrible tale Of shipwreck was
told by the nine survivors of the crew
OF 13 of the Grimsby trawler Wash.
inston. which was wrecked ON the
coast OF Iceland on December 33. The
men reached Leith recently, their
hands and feet still showing signs of
thelr sutferings during blizzard The
vessel was wrecked during heavy
gaze on the rocks near Selvoyr; and
the only boat and two RATS were
washed away. Notwithstanding the
gigantic seas which swept over the
snip, the mate, Alma Kemp, seized a
lifeline and endeavored to swim with
1t to the shore 200 yards away. The
attempt failed, however. and his shin.
mates had to haul him back to the
snip. SO terrible had; been his suffer
ihgs that he went mad. and died within
nalf an hour. Then. the second en-
glneer went mad, and as the tide rose
the crew had to retreat to the wheel
mouse, where they stood lid to their
waists In water, holding the insane en-
slheer.' When the tide receded they
iound some food, but 1t was soaked in
salt water. When the darkness came
on the tide rose again and the vigil
Vi tne crew through, the long night
was a terrible one, and before daylight
came two of the hands and the mad
engineer had been washed away. In
the morning the plight of the ship
wrecked sailors was seen by the is
ianders' and they We're rescued by
means of line.

lnedible Chicken.

1T doesn't pay to raise chickens in
small way" said a suburbanite. "for
the reason that you can only eat the
eggs, never the chickens themselves"
But why can't you eat the chick
ens?' inquired the mans partner.
Gould you eat your canary or your
dog? No. And for much the same rea.
son you can't eat your chickens. For
they are pets, as dogs or canaries are.
You have raised them, they have
learned to know you, they have names
that they answer to, they follow you
about the yard-in a word, they like
you. and you like them.
He shuddered.
Il remember when We killed and
stewed old Mary Jane. She had
stopped laying; she was long past that
stage; 30 we murdered her and tried
to eat her. But we failed. We felt
like cannibals, like ghouls, when Mary
James ,mangled remains were set
smoking, before us. Eat? Why, the
very memory half sickens me now"

FOUNDED NEW SECT
JOHN WRoE FOUNDER OF CHRIS.
TIAN IsRAELITEs.
Had Many Followers, Particularly In
Australia, Many Of Whom Still
Believe That He Is
Not Dead.

The alleged bogus burial of the
duke Of Portland as bruce makes one
think OF John Wroe. He died in Coll
ingwood, Melbourne, February 5, 1863,
aged 81, and yet some fanatics appear
to believe that he is still alive, mas
much as he is reported to have said
he would never die.
Johanna Southcott died in 1914,
aged "a. Her followers believed she
would give birth 10 the Messiah, says
the Imperial Review. Six doctors tes-
tilted that they would believe she was
about ~, become mother If she was
young enough. A silvered cradle cost
Ing. G24O was, prepared for the in
FAINT and E100 more was spent in
gold spoons, pap boats and what not.
Wroe was her first principal follow
er. With her sect as a nucleus he
formed othe Christian Israelites. He
preached his doctrines for nearly half
a century throughout Britain, Europe,
America and Australia. d..
A follower named Stanley gave him
G9,500 with which a temple was
built at Ashton, Eng. Afterward 1t be-
came a theater. Yet Wroe never sue
ceeded anywhere so we'll as in Mel
bourne. His followers there sub.
scribed and bought him a mansion
Melbourne house-in Wakefield, Eng.
No portrait was ever taken of him,
as he forbade portraiture. He is de-
scribed as an exaggerated likeness Of
Gen. Booth. with hook nose, fiery eyes
and ghnooU hni, I'M.
tan lSraelites are also called Wroe-
ties and Beardies. The sect is still
prosperous in Melbourne.
Visiting its church, handsome
Dlue-stone place in Fitzroy, on a re-
cent Sunday evening We found what
was described as an unusually small
attendance-about forty ladies and
20 gentlemen. Twenty-eight of the
ladies' were in white straw bohnets.
The Younger ones had them coquet-
tishly trimmed with feathers and
they Enclosed pretty faces, too. We
thought Of Carlyle's saying when
Queen Victoria came to the throne,
Poor girl. At an age when she can
hardly be trusted to buy her own bon
net" 49,
An outcome Of the Wroeites was the
Fisheries. When Wroe died James
Fisher, charcoal burner of Nunawad
Ing, eight miles from Melbourne, then
In the wild bush, tried to obtain the
succession. Failing this he made a
secession. He founded the Church of
the Firstborn and obtained 100 fol-
lowers. with an astounding combina-
ton of Wroeism, Mormonism, Spirit
ualism and Freemasonry.

The Bitter Rit.

week or two ago an attendant at
one Of the big theaters on the Paris
bouevards found fine pear necklace
which she handed over to the box
office. One Of the spectators, lady,
saw the woman pick up the necklace,
and went to the box-office and claimed
it as her own. To mark her appre-
citation Of the attendants honesty she
gave her 90 francs. The next day,
however, the real owner Of the neck
lace presented herself at the theater to
make inquiries. On hearing what had
occurred she burst into IA laugh, and
explained that The pearls were but imi.
tation, and had cost her IL francs only.

eight francs on the transaction.
