stomach and liver, rousing the organs to
healthful activity as well as purifying and
enriching the blood, lly such means the
stomach and the nerves are supplied with
pure blood; they will not do duty without it
any more than a locomotive can run with

MILLIONS OF CANNIBALS.
PLENTY OP WORK FOR MISSION
ARIES IN OONGO FREB STATE.
Four- Fifths of the People Flat Human
Flesh—A Dead Chief's Wives and
Slaves interred Alive.
¥R. DORSEY MOHUN, United
States commercial agent to
tho Congo Freo State, has
just returned to Washing
ton after two vory exciting years in
tho Dark Continent. Ho has brought
with him some wonderful stories of
battle and adventure, a large collec
tion of trophioß and curiositios, and
much interesting information. Just
at present he occupies a desk at tho
Stato Department, where ho is prepar
ing a report that will bo submitted to
Congress.
"Twenty millions of peoplo in tho
Congo Free Stato are caters of human
flesh," said Mr. Mohun. "That is
about four-fifths of tho ontiro popula
tion. Cannibalism is strictly forbid
den by the Governmont of tho country,
but nine hundred whito men aro not
able to exercise a very complete con
trol over such a vast number of savages
occupying 1,000,000 squaro milos of
territory. Individuals aro caught in
this net occasionally and punishod
with denth. Ono day in last May as
I chanced to enter a village that lay
on tho route of my expedition tho na
tives fled precipitately. I was at a loss
to know tho reason why until I dis
covered oortain evidonces of a big fam
ily feast. Thoy had been cooking a
man, nnd ono of his legs was in a pot
over the fire.
"I lost no timo in throwing pot and
all into tho river. Tho man's head
was stuck on a fence. Among these
people it iu tho custom to keep tho
head of a victim iu this way for four
or five days, at tho end of which it
serves for a stew. Tho brain is highly
esteemed. Tho ohief of the village was
tried on tha chargo of cannibalism
and afterward bunged, I boliove. Tho
man whom I found pottod was a slave
and had boon purchased for food.
Somo of tho tribes commonly buy
slaves to eat, just liko pigs or chick
ens, fattoning them on bananas, palm
oil and other nutritious provender,
and killing them whon thoy are iu
suitable condition.
"What do tho slaves think of it?
you ask. Well, they do not seem to
mind it very much. Iu Africa suoh
things aro looked upon from a differ
ent point of view. I onco saw four
teen persons buried olive, and thoy
oxhibitod tho utmost indiffcreuco to
their fate. A great chief Iliad diod,
and, according to custom, it was nec
essary that his favoiito wives and
some of his slaves should accompany
him to his futuro abode.
"A hole was dug in tho ground
about as largo as a fair sized room,
and in tho middlo of it tho corpse of
tho augUßt defunct was plaood. Ono
of his wives descended into tho exca
vation and squatted at his head;
another wifo squatted at his foot, and
two moro wivoß disposed themselves
similarly on oithor side of him. His
body was dono up in about a thousand
yords of oloth. This was an evidonoo
of his wealth, for cloth is monoy in
savago Africa.
"In tho hole, forming a circle
around tho corpse, squatted ten slaves.
Neither they nor the four wives mani
fested any concern about their ap
proaching fate, which they evidently
rogarded as a matter of course. Up to
the end of tho ceremouy, which was
quito olaborate, thoy did not utter a
sound or mako a struggle. At a signal
men began to throw back tho enrth
into tho pit which was to bo a grave
for tho living as well as for tho dead.
Tho oporatiou was continued nntil all
of tho unfortuuutos wero covered up
and concealed from view. Whilo tho
hole was being filled up thero was a
continuous and uuearthly hullabaloo,
with shouting and dancing and beat
ing of tom-toms.
"Why did I not interfero? I was
not strong enough. My escort num
bered only a fow men, und 1 could not
have prevented tho tragedy, while any
attempt on my part in that direction
would probably have cost my own life.
Tho living burial I havo described was
on u small scalo compared with similar
sacrifices that aro mado from timo to
timo at tho funerals of nativo poten
tates. It often that expedi
tions pussing through tho oountry find
in tho villages slaves with wooden
blocks on their ankles. They woar
these clogs to provent them from es
caping whilo they uro being fattened
for eating. W hen thus discovered by
whito men thoy aro always set free.
Theso savages aro groat cowards.
On ono occasion, with only four guns,
I did not hesitato to attack about
twenty villages. A mail bag was stolen
from my camp at night. I made a
demand upon tho local chief for the
return of tho bag. My request was
not acceded to, and so 1 proceeded to'
wago war on tho whole oountry there
about. I made my way along tho
river in a small stcumboat, attaoking
and burning ono villago after another. '
I dostroyed ton or twelve of thom in
this manner. Finally I captured tho
chiefs son and sent word to his father
that I would hang tho young man if
tho bag and its contonts wero not
forthcoming by tho noxt morning.
Tho rosponso was very prompt this
timo. To my surpriso two mail bags
wero roturned to me. Oddly enough,
I had not missed tho second one.
"You will eusily understand that in
tho Congo Free State, which has an
organizod government and a sovereign
in the person of tho King of tho Bel
gians, an ordinary traveler would not
be permitted to mako war upon the
nativos in such fnshioD.. But I had
official authority and discretionary
power, being reoognizod as represent
ing the United States.
"The Government of tho Congo
Freo State bestowed upon me the Order
of tho Lion in recognition of my mili
tary sorvicos. Of tho 1400 natives in
my party obout 700 wero women. I
would never go on an expedition in
Afriea without taking women along.
They are most useful to carry food
and other burdens. In order that tho
men Bhail fight well and be contented it
is necessary that they shall not bo asked
to carry loads. My dugout canoo was
a fine affair. It was seventy-fivo feet
long and mado from a singlo log.
There was room for forty paddlcrs, in
addition to whom it oarried thirty
soldiers and their wives—in all one
hundred and twonty-five people, with
buggago, etc. In this craft thußloadcd
wo could go faster than any steamer
on the Congo. A comfortablo house
of graes was built on board of her.
"The collection which I brought
back with mo includes somo wooden
figures of men and women, which are
fetiches. Tho natives do no exactly
worship them, but burn things beforo
them. In tho lower Congo, whon n
person is suspected of theft, a nail is
jabbed into tho heart of such a wooden
flguro, and the supposition is that it
will causo tho death of tho offender.
In every tribe there is a fetich houso,
in which fotiches are kopt and cared
for by tho fetich man. The latter is a
sort of dootor, and ho will sell poisons
to people who desire to get rid of
enemies."

Invalids Exempt From Wrinkles.
It will ofton bo noticed that in a
family of women one who has been an
invalid for years will be the ono who
will prosorvo hor youthful looks tho
longest. Invalids almost always havo
a certain cxemptiou from wrinkles and
time-worn faces. This must bo duu to
tho shelterod, quiet lives they load,
tho freedom from excitement and tho
partial immunity from cares that
touch thom last of all, being borno by
tho rest of their friouds as far as may
bo. There must bo a littlo moral in
the statement, too. It is not desira
ble to shirk one's sharo of work or
worry for tho sako of preserving ono's
good looks. But ono might easily
think how far thoso worries and that
work may be avoidable and so emu
late tho serenity of tho invalid.—St.

Making Soldier Clothes to Pit.
"Does your clothing fit you?" is
likely to becomo u common quostiou
among tho soldiers. It has been a
custom largely followed by soldiors to
draw clothing from tho quartermas
ter's stores larger in sizo than needed,
so that they could have it made over
and fitted better to tho person; but
tho Qurtermastor-General thinks this
an unnccossary exponso to tho sol
diors, and a few days ago wrote a re
quisition direoting attention to that
part of tho urmy regulations which
specifics that "no issues of clothing of
larger sizes than actually neodod for
tho enlisted men, for tho purposo of
altering thom iuto smallor sizes can
bo made," and which ulso makes it
tho duty of tho commanding oflieors
tc soo that tho unmade clothing, whou
made, conforms strictly to tho staud

LOADING A CATTLE SHIP.
A CIRCUS LIKELY TO FORM PART
OF THE PROCEEDING.
Wild Cattle That Will Do Anything
Except Go on Hoard—Occasional
Chases In the Water.
T I THE LO Fevro, belonging to
vI j tho Jersey City Central stock
1 yards, lay alongside a White
6* Star liner bound for Liver
pool, says the New York Sun. Three
or four hundred cattlo had already
been transferred to tho hold of tho
steamer and had made but slight ob
jection to th o process, tho gangplank
being almost level. Tho remainder of
tho herd were to bo accommodated on
the steamer's upper deck, to bo
"saloon passengors," as one of the
ocean drovers remarked, and getting
them up into their elevated quarters
was tho topic under consideration.
Tho steep ascent being pronounced
impracticable, and other gangways
with which it was proposed to reduce
tho grado being condemned as too
weak, tho upper end of tho gangway
was lowered with ropes somo distance
below tho deck, so that it was at an
angle of about forty-fivo degrees.
High board sides were affixed to pre
vent tho cattlo from jumping over
board, and up this steep inclino the
cattle wore forced, reaching tho deck
by a jump from tho end of the gang
way. There was much protest iu the
way of bellowing.
Two monstrous bullocks, ono a dark
red with a broken horn, tho other
dappled with whito. were first to ar
rive at tho ond of tho gangway. They
looked up anxiously, and then turned
as if seoking somo way of escape, but
their companions were crowding thick
bohind thorn, and on cither side cow
boys stood urging them on with ad
monishing blows und shouts. In spite
of themselves they were forced a short
distance up tho gangplank, but there
they liesitatod, and no amount of urg
ing and jabbing with long poles could
induco them to climb further. Their
eyes had tho despcrato, hunted look of
wild creatures at bay. Tho spotted whito
bullock advanced a stop or so ahead of
his companion. A cowboy, young
and vigorous, whoso overcoat had lost
nearly all of its outside glory from re
peated exploits amid such scenes, took
advantage of this amiable disposition
on tho steer's part to give his tail a
twist. This device caused tho huge
creature to advance a few steps high
er. Tho bullock with tho broken horn
stood rooted to tho spot. He lifted
his head and looked over the side of
gangway as if contemplating a leap
overboard. Thou ho turned and
lookod back, and seemed doterminod
to do anything rather than climb to
thoso unknown regions above. Ono
of the steamer's crew put somo hay
tomptingly at tho top of tho passage.
The cowboy tweaked again at his vic
tim's tail, tho othors shouted like
madmen and waved thoir long poles,
and the spottod white steer sprang
forward in desperation and almost
gained the top of tho gangway. Tho
long poles wero dug into his panting
sides. He made a mighty effort and
grabbed a mouthful of the hay. More
blows, more cheers, and, after pausing
irresolutely for unother moment, ho
made tho final loap up onto tho dock.
In the meantime no amount of coax
ing, poking or pushing could induce
the rod steer to stir. Again and
again ho looked over into tho water as
if meditating a leap. Tho prowess of
his companion only seemed to eon
vinco him of tho impossibility of his
doing likewise. He glanced around
in terror, then, undeterred by tho
crowding horns at tho foot of tho pas
sage, ho turned in some indescribable
way, though tho spaco soemod much
too narrow for him, and dashod down
among his companions to sock his old
quarters.
Tho mon lot him go and devoted
their attention to tho others. Now
that ono steer had scrambled up tho
steep inclino it was not so difficult to
porsuado tho rest to follow his exam
ple, particularly with fresh wisps of
hay as inducements. Some proved
intractable, and, after scrambling
partly up tho gangway, retraced their
steps, and created panic among their
fellows waiting at tho foot. Tho cow
boys did not permit these to havo
their own way, as did the rod steer.
Thoy seized them by the horns and
forced them to turn and again essay
tho difficult passage. Tho rod-chocked
cowboy, whoso tatterod coat attested
his valor, was particularly efficient in
managing the rebellious spirits among
the herd.
"That's Dave Erricson. Ho's a
rare hand with tho cattle," com
mented tho Captain. "Ono night,
when wo wero loading further up tho
river, and had a particularly wild lot
of Colorados to deal with, two bul
locks jumped overboard. Quick as a
flash, Dave was over aftor them. Ho
straddled the back of tho nearest ono,
got hold of his horns, used them as a
rudder, and steered that steer exactly
whero ho wantod him to go. Wo got
thorn both back, and it was a pitch
dark night, too."
"Cattlo swim well, don't they?"
uskod tho reporter.
"Swim splendidly. If tho weather
if hot and thoy happen to ho thirsty
they would just us liof jump over
board us not. They're not us silly us
sheep, though. When we'ro loading
sheep, if one jumps over into the
water tho whole business follow,
whether thoy want to or not. That's
their nature."
"Aro tho cattlo over seasick when
there's a heavy sea on?" asked the re
porter.
"No, novor. I uover know one of
them to refuso its food. Horses get
seasick, hut not cattle. Sometimes
when there's a big storm all the com
partmonts that restrain tho cuttle,
and tho railings to which they arc
tied, are washed away. Then the
ocoan drovers havo work trying to
keep them in ordor. Sometimes every
thing is washed away, and cattle and
all go to tho bottom ; but tho owners
don't care, because each bullock is
fully insured as soon as it leaves tho
stock yard."
Every ono of tho cattlo destined for
shipment is inspoctod at tho stock
yard by a United States Inspector,
and has a numbered metal tag inserted
in tho right ear. This is a matter of
courtesy to tho English Government,
and to certify that tho cattlo are
sound.
