Slarsden, in his account of Sumatra, says that, although he had heard reports of the cannibal habits of some of the tribes, he had always dircredited them until the truth of the statement was made entirely clear to him. He says that the Batías, one of the peoples of Sumatra, eat human flesh regularly, nnt tri snt.ififv thp frnvinot rf hnno-pr. but as a sort of ceremony to show tSeir detestation of certain crimes by this most ignominious punishment, and as a savage display of revense and insult to their nnfortunate enemies.

A friend, of the writer s, who for more than forty years has been in the employ of the Uutch (joyenimeut, bears personal witness to the prevalence of the custom in Sumatra up till recent times. He was once making scientific investigations in the Interior of that is island, - land, island, and was being entertained in the most hospitable manner by the native rajah, or cruel, of the place ne was then in. A feast had been made to which he was bidden, and to which he went, taking his own native servant with him. i he banquet had proceeded for some time without interruption, when at last, as crown of the feast, a beautiful brown roast joint was brought from the back of the house to the open, airy place where the repast was being held. This was cut up without re remark - mark remark and handed round, and the Dutch gentleman was on the point of eating Ei3 portion, having raised part of it to his lips, when his servant , rushed for forward - ward forward and stopped him, saying, "Mas "Master, - ter, "Master, master, do not eat; it is a . boy!"

From "Cannibalism as a Custom," by A. SI. Johnston, in Popu Popular - lar Popular Science Monthly for December. A temperance, lecturer in London has given recently some curious statistics In regard to the amount expended in intoxicating liquor. He estimated the annual average thus spent in the last ten years at $720,000,000. This"gives an expenditure of $60,000,000 every month, of $15,000,000 every week, and of $25 every second, night and day. There are 3,508,480 letters in the Bible, and if $205 were placed on every letter it would represent the annual 'expen 'expenditure. - diture. 'expenditure.

Why Women FiRnre Moot Frequently a. Plaintiff. "About two out of three of all the di divorce - vorce divorce suits brought are instituted by women," said a prominent lawyer, "and the causes for it are numerous and curious. You wouldn't think, now, that women would have more of the aggressive spirit and pluck necessary to go through with divorces than men. but they have. Most people are apt to imagine that men are the ones to bring their troubles into court; that they are by nature likely to choose a bold surgi surgical - cal surgical treatment, as it were, and get their marital troubles ended completely. ' It is easy to picture a timid woman cow cowering - ering cowering at the , thought of lawyers and courts, and preferring anything to the publicity of the Common Pleas. But all that is sentiment- and exactly con contrary - trary contrary to all experience. It is the men who shrink from the divorce courts." "How is that?" was asked. "First of all," explained the lawyer, "there is the question of expense, which to a man in moderate circumstances means a great deal. When a man brings a divorce-snit he does so with his eyes open to the fact that he will not only have to pay the fees and ex- Eenses of the lawyer retained by him, ut also the counsel employed by. his wife. Now, when a woman resolves upon a separation, if she has any good reason for it, she has the comforting conviction that it is going to cost her nothing. In four cases out of five, where the woman is the plaintiff, the counsel exacts, say, a preliminary fee of $25; and it is on the distinct under understanding - standing understanding that, in the event of the ap application - plication application being successful and the hus husband - band husband being mulcted in costs, the mon money - ey money is returned to her. So you see that in, the financial aspect of the question the woman is at an advantage. "Then," the lawyer jvent on, "the woman feels her wrongs much more than the man. Mr. Blank bears the situation sullenly, but very well. When he leaves the house in the morning he bangs the door spitefully after him, and in a few moments is wrapped up in the thousand and one interests of the day. Now, Mrs. Blank hears that spiteful door-bang and broods over it, and is mad all the morning because she can't reply to it. The house is her world, and everything about it suggests Mr. Blank, and, of course, unhappiness. Now, Blank is a devil-may-care sort of a fellow. He gets drunk at his club, and comes home or stays away just as he thinks fit. The world says nothing. When he feels mad he can go to his home, break up the furniture, and swear at his wife until he get3 tired, and then can rush out of the front door. Bnt when his wife is aggravated and fpela like annovinc Blank, where is heP That's the question! In all probability he ishavtng a rollicking time out some somewhere. - where. somewhere. "Now what does all this lead toP" he continued, energetically. "Well, I'll tell you. The woman soon begins to seek for sympathy among her feminine friends, and she gets it every time I don't want you to make any mistake about that This sympathy-seeking is responsible for half the marital litiga litigation. - tion. litigation. It doesn't take long for the lady to magnify her troubles, and then hef friends make a martyr out of her and cause her to believe that she is the. most interestingly ill-used being on earth, while in all probability sho is- nothing of the kind. This ends, sooner or lat later, - er, later, in a visit to tho divorce lawyer, and that settles the business. Aman doesn't go and relate his troubles to his friends as a woman does. If he did the pro proportion - portion proportion of masculine and feminino plaintiffs would be more evon. It is the custom of the husband to let confi dences about domestic matters severe severely - ly severely alone, and so he doesn't receive any advice which would bring him withiu the grasp of the legal profession. "Most of the divorce suits brought nowadays are for the absolute annull annulling - ing annulling of the marriage. The courts havo greatly discountenanced divorces with 1 T 1 . 1. 1 1 J alimony. J 11 cuses nucie uio uuauauu has to pay the wife's counsel the fee allowed by the court is $35 and $50. That's nothing, though, compared with a case I know of, where a husband some years ago obtained a divorc from the Legislature. He was rich, and it cost him $150,000. "One mem member - ber member there, he told me, got $10,000 tc rote for ths bill. Seven months aftej the passage of the act the divorced wife died, and the husband didn't give up kicking himself for a year. His free freedom - dom freedom had cost him just $21,428.50 pet month. He had imagined that his wife was going to live for years. Nowa Nowadays - days Nowadays the Legislature can't grant di divorces - vorces divorces for causes that would justify the victim in applying to the courts." Wrecked. Bird's Nest, Vs., Dec 31.
