NEW USE FOR QLB PEOPLE. The pleasant and economical custom of eating old and infirm relatives is still common among many native tribes of South America. The Mayorunas do not stick even at eating their own parents and children. Indeed, they look upon this dis- posal of the unfit as a sort of plous duty. The traveler Osculati speaks of finding a baptized member of this trible very sick and weeping bitterly. When asked the reason of his grief the Indian replied that HE California Club is glad to express its cordial approval of so sensible, so pleasurable and so beneficial a fad. And it en- tertains also an optimistic prediction that the merits of the tramping fad will render it long in the passing. life of our girls, conducive, as it is, to the erect carriage, springy step, exquisite complexion and general splendid physique. girls now ‘‘stand up” to their inches. It may be due to the fact that rapid walking necessitates correct breathing, consequently a breadth of chest—a broad-chested girl can never stand crooked. So may the originator of the fad long be toasted by the sen- sible girls of good fortune, who, if they inherited nothing to do, at least inherited the brains to find something for themselves to do that is healthful, pleasurable and beautifying.

Revenge and religious psyche- logical motives have much to do with South American cannibalism. The deadly hatred which exists between different tribes often Impels them to devour-their captives as a token of vengeance. This custom 1s said to have been intreduced among the Tupl, who at one time wera not cannibals, by the example of a gvoman who threw herself on the murderer of her son and bit a plece out of .his: shoulder. The Parentintins attack living eaptives with their teeth in the same horrible fashion. Similar cases of cannibalism, prompted by revenge, occur among most of: the South Amerfean tribes.

Bicyole and horseback riding, swim- ming and rowing have dome much for the physique of Cal- ifornia women, but none of these exercises can be more beneficial than walking in the sunshine and fresh air, and’ there is not the danger of over exercise. If the women have taken it into their heads to tramp, let them tramp. It surely will do them no harm. It will .do them much good. It is a pleas- ant pastime and a wholésome exercise. DR. C. G.
