BURYING ACANNIBAL KINO.
The llrutal Unman Sacrifice* of the Fclhh
Priest, of the Gold C«ut
Lifting the little saucer-shaped lac-quer
cover from the soup, and taking
advantage of the concession to ISuro-
Eoan prejudices tho Commissioners
ave made in providing spoons, instead
of obliging him to drink his soup like
tea from the bowl, tho adventurous
diner-out will find that he has before
him a savory compound called on the
card misoshiru. This is made, as the
root-word denotes, from miso, a fer-mented
mixture of soy, beans, wheat
and salt Having disposed of this, ho
will then, if his appetite is good and
his taste gastronomically catholic, at-tack
with pleasurable surprise the
many little plats on his tray. With
these he will wisely play, turning for
relief from tho white sweetened haricot
beans mixed with kawatiike (a kind of
mushroom grown in the shadows of
rocky bowlders), and the delicious lob-
Bter pudding or cold omelette and oth-er
trilled included under tho head of
kuchitori, to tho hachimono, which
may happen to bo a piece of plump sole
■tewed in soy. Then for a change he
may, with a pair of wooden chopsticks
which are laid before him on a bamboo
tray, divert himself with trying to pick
out of a small china cup, made without
a handle, the brown soy»colored beans
and strips of kikurage, or ear-shaped
mushrooms.
Boiled rice is served in a separate
bowl. Another substantial dish, wan-mori,
consists of meat or fish and vege-tables,
possibly, for instance, a piece of
fresh salmon and a slice of vegetable
marrow with pieces of a soaked fu, a
kind of biscuit made from the gluti-nous
part of wheat flour. The gravy
in which these pieces do resistance are
floating is thickened with a transparent
•tarchy substance, obtained from tho
root of a climbing plant (I'uoraria
Thnnbergiana), called by the Japaneso
kuzu. For salad thcro are thin slices of
cucumber flavored with scraped shreds
of dried bonito, a lish much in favor on
the Pacific coasts; the cucumber being
dressed with vinegar and sugar, but
without oil. One other relish must bo
noticed, the sliced root of the burdock
. salted and preserved in miso. A sweet
kind of sake, described as Japaneso
\ wine, is the proper beverage at tho
-, meal, which is prepared by cooks from
.'Japan, and served just as it would be
in a restaurant in Tokio and without
any addition of Kuropoan dishos.
A little rain, tho sun again, a shad-ow;
a summer day, somo new-mown
hay, a meadow. A girlish fair, a
matchless grace and beauty; we spend
tho day in making hay, sweet ilutv.
Some fading flowers, some happy
hours, but fleeting; a week of ruin, and
then again a meeting. One quick, shy
look, a rippling brook, some clover; ■
aky of gold, tho story old, a lover. A
fair, sweot maid, a short word said;
What is it? I try my fate, and not too
late to miss it. The years have gone,
And still loves on that lover; ho loves
always, as days and days pass over. A
loving life, a long, long life together,
have made him bless that shy, sweet
"Yes, forever."— Uhambers' Journal.
A returned missionary from the Af-rican
gold coast, tolls the reporter of
the New York World somo woeful sto-nes
of the cruelties of the human sacri-fice
practiced bv tho fetish priests. The
disposition of these peoplo is so mild
it is a mystery how they can indulge in
the practice of such cruelties, such as
human sacrifices, for which thoy h avo
become famous. The missionaries be-lieve
that but for tho fetish priesU who
aro exceedingly shrewd and who havo
a strong interest in perpetuating theso
bloody sacrifices, as their power is
based on thorn, the country could be
easily civilized. Under the reign of
Onczo, the lato king of Dahomey, hu-man
sacrifices havo become compara-tively
rare; but his successor, Grery, a
slave to the fetish priests, has revived
them, and now they aro practiced with
greater cruelty than over. Tho number
of slaves who annually perish in this
way is estimated at several hundreds.
The king of Dahomey is, as is known,
the most ferocious and powerful ruler
In the whole region.. During ten
months of the year he makes incursions
into the neighboring territorial!, oup-turing
largo numbers of slaves. In this
work he is chiefly assisted by his two
celebrated regiments of Amazons. The
prisoners taken during these expedi-tions
are divided into three classes.
One class is sold to the slavo merchants
of the interior; aether, chiefly women,
are fattened and sold to butchers, who,
revolting as tho fact may be, oven to
relate, openly sell human flesh in their
shops. The third class is reserved for
the religious sacrifices.
At the season of the "grand cus-toms"
victims are Sacrificed in thofctish
forests. On tho ninth day after tho in-stallment
of a new kin;,'," lie and his
suite preceded by his fetish priests
moved in procession to the sacred wood
where tho grave of the lato king had
bcon dug. The sacrifice began. Seven
slaves were killed, and their blood mix-ed
with earth to form a kind of plaster
with which tho grave was lined. The
heads of the seven victims, with food
of all kinds were deposited at the bot-tom.
Tho body of the king was next
lowered into the grave. Then were
seen approaching nine of his women,
draped in their lsrightest colored gar-ments,
and purposely intoxioated with
"talin" or rum. Believing themselves
to be objects of an ovation they cast
smlies on every side as they pass
through tho throng. On reaching tho
edge of the open grave they were made
to Kneel, and before they had any sus-picion
were stunned by a blow on tho
head and flung, still alive, upon tho
body of their royal spouse. Earth was
then thrown in to cover the living and
dead. The sacrifices to the gods are
marked by greater refinements of cru-elty.
Tho shrines resemble dog-houses
—appropriate dwellings for their idols,
which aro hideous-looking monsters.
These ceremonies begin with a dance.
In'rtoafcaf the shrine a circle is formed
by the leaders - of the people sitting
down, while the rude multitude remain
standing. Holding a tuft of human hair
in his hand, a priest dances in the cen-ter,
the circle uttering savage cries,
clapping their hands or playing wild
instruments resembling bells, tambo
rines and cymbals. During tho night
the fetish priests provide the god with
one or more victims. The most com-mon
form of sacrifice to Ogun, the god
of war, is to behead the human offering
and nail the body upside down to a tree
the head placed above the feet.
At other times a young tree is
stripped of its branches, bent down by
means of a rope, and so held by a
kind of trigger. With the exception of
the head the victim is enclosed in a
wicker-work globo and suspended head
downward, or his head is encased in
the stumps of the leaves which form
the crown of tho palm tree. The priest
loosens the rope, the tree springs back
and the victim is loft swinging in tho
air. Birds of prey soon disposo of the
body.

Tho Secrete of Ventriloquism.
An excellent ventriloquist is now per-forming
in our variety theaters, writes
a New York correspondent of the Al-bany
Journal—a woman, and therefore
without the mustache behind which
most performers in that line conceal
the slight movement of their lips. In
nothing connected with the magical
show is there more radical humbug
than in ventriloquism. There is no
such thing possible as "throwing the
voice," and all the old stories of Wy-maii,
or anybody else, doing astonish-ing
ventriloquial feats in the middle of
a crowd aro fiction. The auditor must
be at a little distance or there oan be
deception. This young woman uses
manikins, curtains, a trunk, and the
other usual aids; but her unshaded
mouth is absolutely still while she is
talking. Her lips are slightly parted,
but they do not even quiver when she
is singing in a very loud, strong voice.
The whole art consists in speaking with-out
stirring the mouth, and in a divert-ing
power of mimicry. As to the seem-ing
distance given to the voice, that is
done by decreasing the volume and at
the same time indicating, by pantomiue
or otherwise, the direction desired. I
asked her how long she had been ac-quiring
her skill. "I always had it,"
she replied. "I used to be a mill-hand
in Manchester, England. A ventrilo-quist
came along, and I found that he
couldn't do as much as I had, as long
as I could remember, been perfectly
able to do. I showed him that I could
beat him at his own business, and he
put me into it. There wasn't anything
to learn, except to work the figures, do
the patter (dialogue), and get used to
an qudience. I formerly earned $3 a
week working twelve hours a day; now
I get $15, and t he whole doesn't amount
to that much time." Were she rid of
her English provincial accent and
conrseness, so as to be acceptable to re-fined
audiences, she would easily mul-tiply
her present income.

The Sealskin Sacque Must Go.'
The once fashionable sealskin sacque
has too many rivals in the field to sus-tain
its position as a coveted possession
much longer. Very few women who
can afford to dress richly and elegantly
buy sealskins, and perhaps one in a
thousand may own a long wrap made
of the lovely fur, which she wears occa-sionally
in the coldest weather, and
then always in her carriage. The be-comingness
of seal fur has never been
disputed, but in an evil hour the mak-ers
of fashions in furs ordained that it
must be treated like some heavy textile
fabric, and with awkward and ungrace-ful
results. The natty jacket lengthen-ed
until it enveloped the figure in a
tight-fitting tunnel, without the possi-bility
of symmetry, and became a
weight which a delicate frame could
scarcely support. When the time
comes, as it must, and tho powers that
be cut off fifteen Inches from the skirt
of this "fashionable" sealskin sacque,
there will bo genoral rejoicing, and ev-erybody
will wonder why silly custom
ever cajoled one into believing a seal-skin
must be forty-five inches long!—
Boston Beacon.
An Australian Intoxicant.
Their own stimulant, kave, they con-tinue
to use in great quantities, and
many of the Europeans have contract-ed
a'liking for It All the Walrara-pans
have a taste for it, and marvel
that any white man can acquire a pea-ohant
for such stuff. Its flavor resem-bles
soap suds more than anything else
one can compare it with. The root
used is botanically known as that of the
piper mcthistieum; it is hard and
woody, hence the object of the chewing
which liberates the juices of the root
more freely than any other process.
Europeans grate tho root and pound It
but admit that the liquor is not
equal to tho chewed. In Samoa the
preparation of the kava bowl is attend-ed
with great ceremony, only the
young unmarried girls being allowed to
chew it. The root is cut up into fine
Sieces, and tho girls, who are directed
y the prettiest of them, first rinse
their mouths, take up a piece, and
when sufficiently masticated and form-ed
into a ball, spit it into a bowL The
chief girl then calls for water, and af-ter
washing her hands, directs one of
her companions to pour on the water
while she stirs the root with her hand.
When enough water is in, and the balls
are properly mixed with the ingredi-ents,
she takes up a strainer made of
libers of tho hibiscus, and passes it from
side to side of the bowl. When the
strainer is saturated sho lifts it high
above the bowl and squeezes the balls
through the -trainer in her hand. This
is continued until the kava bowl is
ready. It is contended by some of the
Europeans who use chewed root that
the ma-ii. ation I perfectly dry and is
a mefecrushing process but of course
an amount of saliva must get incorpo-rated
in the process. Tho medicinal
properties of kava are Ionic and ner»
vous sedative, and it is to these effects
and not to its flavor thai the taste for
the drink arises. -Melbourne LeatUr,
Thestory published in these columns
recently, from the Rooheeter, N. W.
Democrat, created a deal of comment
bere as It has elsewhere. Apparently
it caused more commotion In Roches-ter,
as the following from the same
paper.sho wi:
Dr. J. B. Heulon who is well known
not only lu Rochester but in nearly
every part of America sent an ex-tended
article to this paper a few days
ago which was duly published detail-ing
bis remarkable experience and
rescue from what seemed to be certain
death, it would be impossible Do
enumerate the personal enquires
which have been made at our office as
to the validity of the article, but they
havt been so numerous that further in-vestigation
ot the subject was deemed
an editorial necessity.
With this end In view a representa-tive
of tbis paper called on Dr. Henlon
at bis residence on Andrews street
when the following luterylew occurr-ed:
"That article of yours, Doctor, baa
created quite a whlrlwiud. Are the
statements about the terrible condi-tion
von nem in m-/l the Way veil
were rescued such as you can sustain?"
"Every one of them and many addi-tional
ones. I was brought so low by
neglecting the first and moat simple
symptoms I did hot think 1 was sick.
It is true I bad frequent headaches ;
felt tired most of the time; could eat
nothing one day and was ravenous the
next; felt dull pains and my stomach
was out ot order, but I did not think
It meant anythlug serious. The med-ical
profession have been treating sym-ptoms
instead of diseases for 3 ears,
and it is high time It ceased. The
syuii toms I have just mentioned or
any unusual action or irritation of the
water channel.-, indicate the approach
of a kiilney disease more than a cough
aonouncesthe coining of consumption.
We do not treat (lie cough but try to
help the lungs. We should not waste
our time trying to relieve the head-ache,
pains about the body or other
symptoms but go directly to the kid-neys,
1 in- source of most of these ail-ments."
"This,then,is what you meant when
you said that more than one-half the
deaths which occur arise from Brlght's
disease, is it Doctor?"
" Precisely. Thousands of dleaaes
are torturing people to-day, which in
reality are Blight's disease in some of
Its many forms. It Is a hydra beaded
monster, and the bllghtest symptoms
should strike terror to every o e who
has tin-in. I can look back and recall
hundreds rf deaths which physicians
declared at the time was caused by
paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease,
pneumonia, malarial fever and other
common complaints which I see now
were caused by Bright's disease."
"And did all these cases have sim-ple
symptoms at first."
"Every one of them, and might
have been cured as I was by the time-ly
use of the same remedy. I am get-ting
my eyes thoroughly opened in
this matter and think I am helping
others to see the fact and their possi-ble
danger also."
Mr. Warner was visited at his estab-lishment
on North tst. Paul street.
At first he was inclined to be reticent,
but learning that the information de-sired
was HIHH t Bright's •lianaae. hi-manner
changed instantly and he
spoke very earnestly :
"It Is true that Bright's disease had
increased wonderfully, and we find,
by reliable statistics, that from '70 to
'80, its growth was over 250 per cent.
Look at the prominent men it baa car-ried
off; Everett.Bumner, Chase, Wil-son,
Carpenter, Bishop Haven, Folger,
Colfax and others, Nearly every week
the papers record the death of some
prominent man from this scourge. Re-cently,
however, the increase has been
checked and I attribute this to the gen-eral
use of my remedy."
"Do you think many people are af-flicted
with It to-day who do not real-ize
it, Mr. Warner?"
"A promiueut professor in a New
Orleans medical college was lecturing
before his class on the subject of
Bright's disease. He had various fluids
under microscopic analysis and was
showing the students what the indica-tions
of this terrible malady were.
'And now, gentlemen.' be said, 'as we
have seen the unhealthy Indications
I will snow you how it appears In a
state of perfect health,' and he sub-mitted
bis own fluid to the usual test.
As he watched the results his counte-nance
suddenly changed—his color
and command both left blm and in a
trembling voice he said : 'Qentlemen,
I have made a painful discovery ; I
have bright's disease of the kidneys.'
And In less than a year he was dead.
The slightest indicalions of auy kid-ney
difficulty should be enough to
strike terror to any one."
" You know of Dr. Henion's case?"
"Yes, I have both read and heard of
It."
" It Is very wonderful, is it not?"
" No more so than a great many oth-ers
that have come to my notice as
having been cured by the same means"
"You believe then that Bright's dis-ease
can be cured."
"I know it can. I know it from my
own and the experience of thousands
of prominent persons who were given
up to die by both their physlclaus and
friends."
" You speak of your own experience,
what was It?"
" A fearful one. I had felt languid
and unfitted for business for years.
But I did not know what ailed me.
When, however, I found it was kid-ney
difficulty I thought there was
little hope and BO did the doctors. I
have since learned that one of the
physicians ot this city pointed me out
to a gentleman on the street one day,
saying: "There goes a man who will
be dead within a year.' I believe his
words would bsve proved true If I bad
not providentially used the remedy
now knoA-n as Warner's Safe Cure."
Dr. 8. A. Lattlmore.althougb busily
engaged upon some matters connected
with the Slate Board of Heal'h, or
whloh he is one ot the analysis, cour-teously
answered the questions that
were propounded him :
" Did you make a chemical analysle
of the case of Mr H. H Waruer some
three years ago, Doctor?"
" Yes, slr.'r
'What did this aualyis show you ?"
"The preseuce of albumen and tube
casts in great abundance"
"And what did the symptoms in-dicate?"
" A serious disease of the kidneys."
"Did you think Mr. Warner could
recover?"
" No, sir. I did not think it possi-ble."
"Do you know anything about the
remedy winch cured him?"
" Yes. I have chemically analyzed
it and And it pure and harmless."
We publish the foregoing statements
in view of the commotion which the
publicity of Dr. Hentou's article Ins
caused and to niiet the protestations
which have been made. The doctor
was cured four years ago and is well
mid attending to bis professional du-ties
to-day. The stundlng ol D-. Hen-lon,

the statements they make, cannot for
