Cbe Religion OF the Noros.

The f~iercest and most warlike of the
Philippine tribes are the Moros, who
inhabit the island of Sulu, one of the
smaller islands of the group. These
Moros are Mohammedans and hate
Christians with the characteristic in
tensity of their coreligionists wher-
ever found. They have a sultan who
has governed them without much re-
gard for the Spaniards, though the
latter have for some years maintained
a garrison on the island.
Professor Dean C. Worcester, who
visited this island with the Steere's
expedition in 1891, describes in an in
teresting way the religious concep
tons of these fierce Mohammedan
barbarians in his book, "The Philip
pine Islands," One Of the sultan's
ministers gave Professor Worcester
an account which he reproduces as
follows:
moon, and stars are the light of God
to 'dominar' the whole world. There
are no other worlds than this in the
universe; but there are beings which
inhabit the air above us and the earth
beneath our feet. They worship God
and die like ourselves. There is one
God, namely, Tochou. He is omni-
present, omniscient, and omnipotent.
~
Without him we cannot speak. His
form is that of u thoughts. Ami
mails have spirits, but are not like the
souls of men, and vanish into thin air
when death comes.
Mar differs from the brute in his
higher intelligence and his ability to
speak. His soul lives forever. It en-
tiers his body at the top of his head
when he is born, an opening being left
between the bones of the skull for
that purpose. It leaves the body at
death, once more through the skull.
1t is distributed throughout the body
during life, as is shown by the fact
that the various members are sensi-
tive. When one dies, his soul, accord
ing to some panditos, goes directly to
the place of God; according to Others
it goes under the earth to sleep till the

Divorce In the KIondike.

Divorce procedure in the Klondike
may not be provided with all the mod
ern improvements, but 1t accomplishes
the desired purpose as effectually as
the most enlightened court in south
Dakota. At Circle City not long ago
an Indian woman, Ellen by name,
sought a divorce from her white hus-
band, one Finney, on the ground of
cruel and unusual punishment A
meeting of the miners was called, ana
about sixty of them assembled to de-
liberate on the case. 1t came out IN
the evidence that Ellen was so sturdy
a lady that her husband was forced to
furnish her with whisky in large guam
titles before he could beat her with
any satisfaction. Finney admitted CIV
ing her the whisky, but asserted that
he couldn't get along with her without
doing so. He furtner alleged in E1s
defense that Ellen was the best-dressed
sauaw in Circle City. After careful de-
liberation the miners decidedly unan-
imously to lease Ellen vinculo
matrimonii. She was also awarded
the dog and the sewing machine as all
mony.

Becoming a Citizen.

The man who wants to become
citizen of the United States Is put
through trying ordeal nowadays. 1t
isn't as easy as it used to be, when
all he had to day was to take the oath
of allegiance and get the ward boss
to vouch for him. says the Philadelphia
Record. Things have changed, and
haye gone to the opposite extreme.
Now applicants have to pass civil
service examination of considerable
pretensions. Many of the questions
would worry the lawyers who accom-
pany the applicants. For instance, a
question asked recently was; Where
must revenue bills originate, and
why?" If the man answers; In
congress" he is lost; but if he replies:
In the house of representatives, be-
cause the people cannot be taxed ex-
cept by their representatives" he will
be passed with honors. Irish wit has
more than once saved an applicant.
A judge asked a man few weeks ago:
What does the president have to do
with the bills sent to him by con-
gress?" The man meditated for a mo-
ment, and then replied: Pay them,
like any other honest man."
