CHIEFS OF THE SUiUS.
Each Has the Power of Life or Death
Over His Subjects.

Each Has the Power of Life or Death
Over His Subjects.
The social system among the Moros
is much more primitive than 1t is
among the greater part of the other
Philippine races. A chief, or dato, con-
trolls a district. He has his own par
ticular followers and his slaves. Be-
sides these he may command all the
men of his own district in time of war.
He also has the right of life and death
over his subjects. For instance, a few
weeks before we arrived in Jolo. Data
Jokanine had occasion to execute one
of his followers. The man had been
intrusted with money belonging to the
dato. The first time he came to his
chief and said:
"Oh, great and benevolent dato. l
have gambled away the money! For
give me"
every WELL" said the dato. "See
that it does not happen again"
Once more the retainer came, saying:
ooh, great and benevolent dato, again
have l gambled away thy money. and
again beg thee. in thy great mercy, to
forgive mew
This Is the second time l have for
given thee" said Jokanine, "but the
third time, warn thee, thou shalt die"
Yet again the unfortunate man re-
turned without the money he had col
lected for the dato.
"Oh, dato," he cried, throwing him
self at the feet of his chief, 'I have
sinned again and taken thy money!
Mercy! MercyP'
"Cut him down." said the dato to one
of his men-at-arms. The man offered
no resistance and was cut to pieces
with one of the great knives ef the ma
tives.-Harper's Weekly. ,

Sugar, starch, gum, dextrin, pectine,
saccharifiable cellulose. organic acids
and other extractive matters are, to-
gether with water, the chief elements
in pulp fruits. The sugar is assimila-
BILE and is a food. Fruits which con-
tain most of it, as bananas, dates and
figs, are true hydrocarbonated foods.
Extractive matters are also nourishing,
but in less degree, as they are not so
digestible. With these and other rare
exceptions, however, fruits. in the opin-
ion of Nj. Balland, are little nutritive
and cannot be considered as foods.
Their juices, which please us by their
smell or acidity, are condiments rather
than foods.

Seen In the Rough.

Tortoise shells as they are unloaded
from the ships are far from beautiful
To be classed as rough they must be
Just as they were when taken from the
tortoises' backs. 1t is not until washed
and secured with acids that their ex-
quisite coloring shows. The same is
true of the beautiful seasheIls which
come here from the shores of India and
other tropical lands. There is almost
as much difference between them in
the rough and when finished as there
is between uncut diamonds and those
that have passed through a Iapidary's
