IN NEW HEBRIDES WILDS
Tastes of the Natives Are Very Grad
uaIly Being Weaned From
Humans to Pigs.

Many of the natives of these islands
are employed upon the plantations OF
the white men, but tie majority live
the lives of primitive beings in the
jungle, where the chiefs rule with rods
of iron for the Eost part. To have
killed a man, no matter in what way,
Is a great honor, and gives the right
to wear special plume of white and
black feathers.
1t is i'll the recruiting of workers
for the plantations that many abuses
arise, London Tit-Bits says. Intoxi
eating liquor plays a part in this
traffic, and. where fair means fail
in the securing of hands, foul methods
are introduced, and fragrant kidnap-
ing is by no means uncommon.
Describing one worker on the plaE-
tations named Bcurbaki, DR.. Speiser
explains that, before the native en-
listed, he had been a professional MUIR
derer and provider of human flesh to
his chief
He was one of the few natives,
writes the doctor, who openly ad-
mitted mis- liking for human flesh. A
year ago. when visiting his village, he
had been inconsolable because he had
come day late for cannibal feast! =
And on these islands, only a few
days sail from Sydney, there are pyg-
my races. Volcanoes there are, and
wonderful lagoons. Forest covered
mountains and green plateaus may be
seen, and there are beach villages
whose Inhabitants spend a greater
part of their time actually in the sea.
