 Victims. for the many human sacrifies were usually those persons who had ,vio- lated tabus or were accused of doing so; although prisoners in war also fell in this class. A band of greatly dreaded and mysterious spys, was maintained by the priesthood, whose business it was to watch for violators of the tabu laws and drag these unfortunate ones to the 'heia.us' or temples. Tabus governed the commoneSt domestic relations and actions and no one ever knew when his move ments were being observed by the terri ble 'mu," as the spy was called.
 Although 1t Is popularly supposed that the old tabu rule was overthrown by the influence of the New England missiona- ries who came to the islands early in the 18th century, this was not the case; all though intercourse with white traders and sailors of the whaling fleets probably influenced the overthrow. One of the kings, while intoxicated, Is said to have deliberately violated a number of most binding tabus at one time by going into womens eating house, eating with the women, and committing other acts of dissertation. The whole people were hor- ror-stricken, and waited in trembling for some terrible disaster to sweep away the populace; but after a few days, when nothing nntoward happened, they regained their courage, and the reign of supersti- tion was broken. A subsequent attempt by the priesthood to regain their control, resulted in bloody battle, but the reac- tionary forces were defeated. At the time of the arrival of the missionaries, they found a people practically without re- ligion, and their success in introducing their own creed was one of the easiest and most complete in the history of re- ligionS.

THE TABU SYSTEM
 OF OLD HAWAII
HOW SUPERSTITION RULED IN PACIFIC ISLES AND HOW IT WAS ovERTHRoWN-oRIGlN OF THE WORD TABOO"

It is probably not generally known that the word taboo" meaning an interdict, or something forbidden, is directly de- rived from the Hawaiian word 'tabu," !" which before the days of civilization in the islands was fraught with dreadful meaning. It was largely by the very complicated system of tabus that the priests and nobility of the Pacific islands maintained their dominance over the peo- pie, for the violation of a tabu meant death.
 There were innumerable things forbid den under the rule of superstition Some applied to all of the people, from the highest to the lowest, but different classes had their own special prohibitions and the lower classes felt the weight of the tabu rule much more heavily than the nobility and priests For the women there were also general tabus from which the men were exempt. For instance in the mat ter of foods women were forbidden to eat bananas, and some other foods. Ger tain kinds of fish were tabu to any ex- cept the higher classes of society, and it was forbidden for men and women to eat together or in the same house. Dur ing certain phases of the moon each month, it was stabu to launch canoe, or to fish; and during certain periods of the year certain kinds of fish and other foods could not be eaten. i7
 Most of these tabus were established by long custom, but the priests were con stantly establishing new ones. Moreover the king, and some of the higher nobles had the power to make arbitrary and temporary tabus. which during the time they obtained, carried equal penalty with any of the others. They might for in stance. wish to preserve to themselves from the common herd a certain path, bathing pool, or a fishing ground. A small wand with bit of tapa cloth tied to the end and stuck in the ground served to give notice of this, and death as sac rifioe to some of the numerous deltles was the penalty for the indiscreet one who failed to give the tabued spot Wioe berth Tabu of this class were the terror of everyone, for they were apt to be vlo- lated unwittingly, which fact was no ex- tenuation of the crime.
 It was always tabu to cross the shadow of royal parsonage, or to remain in his presence except in prostrate position. In fact it was extremely unsafe to be

Wild Foes in Chicago Park.

From the Chicago Daily News.
 Two red foxes are rowing wild in Wash ington park. The animals are living in holes, sinking forth at night to trap their prey. Indiana is believed to be the form CT home of the invaders of civilization. Unlike other such animals found abroad in Chicago, which have been traced. to former owners, these foxes are thought to know nothing of the restraint of man and to have wandered from an unsettled district of Indiana to Washington park.
 In former winters Washington park was almost colonized by rabbits, but this win ter the long cared creatures have been comparatively scarce. It is believed the foxes have made prey of the rabbits and decimated their numbers.

 Rather than postpone wedding cere- mony he had been called from distance to perform, the Rev. MT. Daniels yester- day Jagged a freight train, pressed the train crew into service as witnesses and proceeded with the ceremony. Charles Page and Mrs. Louise Conwell had called him to marry them There was no wit nesses.
 Hearing a train whistle the three hur- ried to the little flag station the Rev. MT. Daniels stopping the train and ex- plaining the dilemma to the astonished conductor.

 Little Johnny 5 years old, whose father was a missionary in India and whose mother was dead had been instructed by his grandmother to whom his rearing had been intrusted, always to place ladies be- fore gentlemen in his thought and action. A few nights ago he was saying ms prayers, prompted by his grandmother, who added:
 aOh. God bless my father in India. Oh, God bless my mother in heaven-
 .'There, grandma, you've done it''
 Done what?"
 'Why, you've taught me to put ladies first, and here you've made me pray for papa first! But never mind; perhaps God Is not so fussy about politeness as you are''
