FiIinIn os Never swear.

The native Filipino does not know
the vice of blasphemy; he is not ordin-
sarily obscene in his speech; he Is not
auarrelsome; he is respectful to those
who display authority; is docile and
obedient, although he is weak and
remiss in the performance of his
duties: he bears his punishment and
believes it to be just when he Is guilty
of fault but he becomes irritated
If personally insulted, and he awaits
with rancor and in cold blood the mo
ment to avenge outrages done to his
person or his family
He likes very much to pass hours in
idleness or in not very animated con-
yersation with his companions and
friends. He is fond of feasts and pill
grimages, of play and betting, and
easily spends in a day what has cost
him months and even years to acquire.
In his dealings with the European,
when he attempts any business what
ever. he is cunning and crafty and
tries to come out the gamer, to which
end he will use deceit and even puerile
articles. He is fond of ostentation.

The senses exercise greater intiu-
epce upon him than is usual in other
races, and from this cause proceeds
the infantile vanity that makes many
array themselves in elegant clothes.
i Jewels decorations, etc. He loves SEN
sual pleasures, but not to the point, as
some have alleged. of disregarding the
laws of blood. not TO the extreme OF
falling into denominations.
Although he appears silent and sub
missive, he is much given TO quiet
lmurmurng and to criticising the acts
of his supsriors, especially those of the
European, but this is done more In
the way of curious and melting con-
versation than true criticism. He pos
sesses normal intelligence good
memory, and an aptitude for mechan-
lies. He Is a good workman when hab-
lit, necessity, or passion influence him.
