Probably the biggest cannibal orgy
on record is one Of which Miss Bea-

Guinea I'm 1858 shipload of China
men was being taken down to Austria
liza. The vessel was wrecked upon a
reef close to Rossel island, New GUM
ca. The officers escaped In boats, but
were never afterward heard Of. As
for the Cinnamon, numbering 1926, the
natives captured them and put them
on small barren island, where they
had no food and no means of getting
away. They kept their prisoners sup
Piled with food from the mainland
and every now and then carried away
few Of them to eat until all but one
old man had been devoured. This one
succeeded eventually in getting away
and told something of the story, which
seems to have met with general disbe-
lief. True it is, however, on the evil
dence Of the sons of those who did the
deed"

Imprisonment For Debt.

About the middle Of the last cen.
fury the power Of imprisoning a debt
or for life was taken from the creditor,
and 1t fills one with amazement to
think that system SO ridiculous
should have continued as long as 1t
did. The three principal debtors pris-
ons in England were the Kings Bench,
the Marshalsea and the Borough
Compiler. In the year 1859 there were
1000 prisoners for debt In Great Brit
ain and Ireland. The futillty of the
system was quite as great as its bar
barity. More than half the prisoners
In some of the prisons were kept there
solely because they could not pay the
attorneys costs. Many prisoners had
their wives and children with them.
There was no inflrmary, no resident
surgeon and no bath. Imagine a place
In these days containing 1890 persons
and no bath and no infirmary! We
have indeed progressed" -Dundee Ad
vertiser.
