queror, According to British Cover
nor Of New Guinea.

The lieutenant governor OF the Brit
ish portion Of New Guinea has return.
ed to London for brief holiday and
made his countrymen's flesh creep
with tales Of cannibalism as still prac-
ticed by natives under his jurisdic-
ton. The interior Of New Guinea Is
perhaps the largest terra incognita re-
naming on the earth's surface. and,
according to Governor Murray, 1t
hides many mysteries.
The native Papuans are divided into
many distinct tribes. primitive and
barbarous. but in some respects of
high native intelligence. They are
easily won over from barbarism and
induced to take up some form Of EN-
ployment. The governor during his
trips into the interior heard constantly
Of race Of long tailed pygmies who
dwelt just over the mountains, but
exploration always brought the an
swer that they were just farther on.
The interior Papuan village wholly
consists Of single building from 300
to GOO feet long and about 20 feet
high. 1t is divided into tunnel-lke
compartments capable of sheltering as
many as 1900 persons. In front of
the building is platform wherein
the cannibal feasts take place. Gov.
ernor Murray recently arrived at one
Of these villages in time to be present
at the eating Of freshly roasted
body.

"The bodies are placed on the plat

The flesh is cut up into small portions,

and distributed. he asserts.
There are less pretentious canni-
bal exploits on a smaller scale. 1t IS
a point Of Papuan etiquette that you
must not eat the man you have killed.
but you may satisfy your conscience
by exchanging victims with another
man. having first sealed the compact
by disfguring the corpse in accord
ance with conventional rules.
MANY of the tribes have their own
notions Of how cannibalism should be
conducted. In some districts the vic
tins are roasted, while in others boil
ing is preferred. I have known in
stances in which the process Of cook
ing is done over a fire. the body be-
ing sandwiched between two layers of
sage. Some of the tribes have a weak

raids on neighboring villages for the
purpose Of kidnapping infants"

The Journal for Psychical Research
tells an amazing incident concerning
a thirst, a vision and a confession of
guilt. Here it is:
A certain young man of excellent
family had been admonished by his
mother in Connection with a predilec-
ton toward strong drink and boon
companions of the sort unloved by
mothers. While she was in the South
she had a vision,, in which she saw
her son surrounded by men, taking
drinks" numerous and noisy. She
had other painful visions.
When next mother and son met she
called him into her boudoir and said:
Now want you to tell me all about
what has happened in Don't de-
ceive me. I saw YOU" etc. The
young man thought somebody had
told his mother all about it, and
owned up to the whole truth.
1t would be pleasant to be able to
say that the young man has reformed
and is now learning the carpet busi-
ness, beginning at the bottom of the
ladder. We have no Information on
this point. The lady in the story told
the circumstances to DR.. Isaac X.

published them in the Journal.-Van

BABY LOST IN HILLS.

Adelesio, the little three-year-old
child of the widow Benito Crespin, of
Mineral Hill, while with his brother
herding goats, was last seen alive
about 8 p. m. last Saturday.
The children are not quite sure
about the exact hour that they last
saw their little brother; at any rate,
by the time that they had taken their
goats home and given the alarm, it
was impossible to find the little bare
foot tracks, even in the moonlight.
ALI through the bitter cold night
seven men, warmly clad, shivered
and shook while they searched for the
tiny barefoot tot who had on no un-
derwear, only thin cotton shirt and
knee pants.
About a. m. next day r. A. Shear
er found his barefoot tracks near the
bank of Canyon Hondo Creek, prob
ably mile from where he had last
been seen the day before
Straight up the canyon the little
fellow went, sometimes near-almost
dangerously near-the waters edge;
and it was always the water that
turned his path. His course was
straight-straigh as an arrow-and
the distance between the tiny tracks
never varied the slightest degree For
three whole miles he walked, and it
must have been intense agony that
marked the automatic, measured beat
of those tiny bare feet through thick
est brush and lodges. How he ever
did it will always be mystery.
To add to the horror, his path had
time before lion had killed and part
ly eaten deer. The men, who had
come from all directions in increasing
numbers, shook their heads when
they saw the padded footprints of
animals that had followed and shad-
owed the unprotected child.
At the end of three miles, above
the Shoe Fly Copper Mining Com
pany's property, the little tracks
stopped abruptly, and about ten feet
from them were the marks of either
a lynx or a huge bobcat, that had
confronted him. 1t was then that he
turned and ran up the side of the
canyon, and crawled between two
logs that lay under a tangled mass
of dead underbrush
Jesus Trujillo was the first to find
the body OF the child where he had
crawled to hide from the gloating
eyes until death from fatigue and
exposure came to relieve him, and,
strange as it is, although animals had
circled all around, not one had mo-
tested him.-Las Vegas Optic,

Brooklyn, formerly of Salem, Mass,

1t appears that one Joseph Crow

were masters of vessels sailing from
Salem, brought home from India in
1886 the first live elephant ever
seen in America"
1t is added that the Historical Col

purpose of supplanting or supple
menting the potato. They did not
