The Indians of the Philippines make
good hunters, killing great numbers
of deer and wild SWINE with their dogs
and lances. They also collect wild
honey and guns and rattan and timber
from the woods. They are good sail
ors and fishermen. Their boats are
of the Malay type, long and narrow,
with outriggers on both sides. They
carry large sails, and the sailors keep
them from cspsizing by crawling ont
upon the outriggers and thus balancing
the boats They fish with cast nets
and seins and also extensive fish pens

The French instrument of capital
punishment, the guillotine, is not ac-
tually as represented in conventional
pictures. 1t has been made a much
more delicate apparatus than it used
to be and has been reduced one-third
in size. The parallel uprights i'll
which the knife moves are now paint
a dirty Nandyke brown, instead Of
bright scarlet, and the knife is not a
great triangular piece Of steel, but an
almost razor-shaped blade, weighted
with mercury, and not with lead. All
the prisons of Paris except one are to
be torn down, and movement is on
foot to have executions take place
in this prison instead of out of doors
as formerly.

Have only those you really care
for present at the ceremony.
Do not imagine you are leaving
your old friends; you are only gaining
one more.
Let the company entertain them
selves; you have each other to think
