The cannibal instinct of Signal the Papuan is not hard to explain. In all ike 313,000 square miles of 'New Guinea, there is not a tribe which does not regard murder as a knightly accomplishment Until a man has taken a human life and 'has, sipped" human bidad he is an object of ridicule. He is not permitted to tatico himself, and with a sklo thus unadorbed he is shunned by Papuan suciety.

SPIRIT OF THE VENDETTA." The spirit of the yendaita reigns among the Papuans to an extent which would even' at tonish an Italian detectiva of the New York- Police Department., An every murder elevates a man so much higher in the estimation of his neighbours, a Papuan is generally on the look-out for a quarrel. If he cannot get a bite on a fihing excursion, he doesn't le about it on returning bomb, but 'goes out looking for, blood. He starts for the neigh bouring village, and the first man he meets who is a member of another tribe ha pounces opon as the cause of bis ill-luck. Either by stealth or in the opse he strikes his man down. As the relatives of the victim wear revenge and only wait an opportunity to balance the score, the killing goth on until the chief of one tribe or the other becomes frightened by the losses from bis ranks and calls a council with, the head of the neighbouring community. The deaths on each side are then reckoned up, and if one side bas lost more lives that the other it receives proper remuneration in the

would seem that the severe roles of mourning leaving the harbour, for the dead would lessen the number of murders in New Guinea.
MOURNING FOR THE DEAD. When a man dies all the friends of the family bring to the widow generous gifts of food. If the tribe liver as the coast the body is placed in a Gande, which is then anchored of the village. The widow takes ber post in another cando Dear by, and there maintains a watch for more than a mobib. Among the members of an inland tribe it is the custom to build a but over the grave in which the widowmay spend her period of mourn log. When she appears again among her poople ako must wear a long grass petticoat 'down to her askles, with the Jawbone of ber dead hus band suspended from her neck by a cord. The observances of mourning fer a widower: are much the same, only instead of a jawbone he must carry about with him a piece of his wife's petticoat fastened tightly under his -right, arm....... As a matter of fact, the Papun
regards all deaths as having a violent cause. Whenever a astive dies from sickest, it is believed that the sickness resulted from some plot. In order to detect the murderers, there- fore, parts of the dead, person are 'distributed among the members of the household, and after a time examined by a certain pfficial in the community, who might be said to correspond corener, district" aftomacy, to an American Core judge and jury all combined. If any part of these uncanny relics bas changed to an UG- natural colour, its possessor is immediately | executed and eaten by the other relatives.
