The favorite Joloan weapons are the
kris, the barong and the campilan. The
kris is sometimes straight, sometimes SER
pentine and again wayy from hilt to
point, but in all cases it is a double edged
sword with a hilt of carved wood, silver
or ivory The barong, though similarly
hilted, is short, heavy blade almost
oval in shape, edged only on one side
and terminates in sharp point. The
blade of the campilan, on the other hand,
is unusually long and broadens toward
the end. It's handle is invariably of
wood, grotesquely carved and ornament
ed with dyed horsehair and small bells.
All these and other Philippine knives
are guarded by wooden scabbards, occa-
sionally inlaid with other woods or band
ed with silver, and all are kept faultless-
" bright and keen. The blades, too, are
often inlaid with silver and gold. The
Moro is exceedingly proud of his arms.
His kris or whatever his favorite weapon
may be is ever at his side whether he be
fishing, working afield or resting in the
blossom of his family" and at night it
lies unsheathed at his hand. One swift.

No one needs to be told to try to cure
a cough. But any one will be glad to
be told of a means of cure which will
be thorough and lasting. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is a medi-
cine which can be confidently relied
on to cure diseases Of the organs of
respiration 1t cures obstinate, deep
seated coughs, bronchitis and bleeding
of the lungs 1t cures when nothing
else will cure, and the local physician
says: vThere is nothing more that we
can do"
There is no alcohol In vGolden Med
ica1 Discovery" aud it is absolutely free
from opium, cocaine and all other mar
cotics.
The dealer, tempted by the little more
profit paid by less meritorious medicines,
will sometimes try and sell substitute
when the discovery is asked for. No
substitute medicine will satisfy the sick
like vGolden Medical Discovery" 1t
always helps. 1t almost always cures.

A TRANSFORMATION.

How did she change me9 Who can tellf
met her, and pleasing spell
Touched with color all its own
My lonely LIES gray monotone;
Hopes that l only knew by name
Awoke expectant when she came;
Feelings, like buds meath sunny skies,
Warmed by the summer of her eyes,
Bloomed wildly, and l, whose heart
Had seemed a thing from life apart
who had lived amid the throng
In silence-heard an opening song
Shake through its prelude blithe and free
When first she smiled to welcome me.

FREEDOM.

Ny home IL where the wandering foot
At evenfall may chance to wend
And where mine host may spread the board
And grace himself the tables end
And tell old tales beside the hearth
And toast me guest and friend
And on the morrow with me speed
And bid me forth, me, masterless;
There be no clinging hands to hold
Mine own with strength of tenderness
No face that pleads backward glance,
No voice to ban or bless.
Yet sometimes comes a strange, swift wish
To feel a hand close in my own,
And sometimes comes thought how cold
The blaze upon my hosts hearthstone;
Sometimes-nay, fool, he travels free
Only who travels lone.

aAFIz, The FORTUNATE.

In Bagdad, by the eastern gate,
The Longing beggars tell the tale
OF Hafz Khan, called Fortunate,
Who dwelt afar in Bosra's vale.
This Haaz Khan was not king;
He had no heaps Of treasured gold,
Nor yet did swaying camels bring
For him rare silks OF price untold.
He had no friend, he had no foe;
He never left his city's gate;
He sever loved, tbs said, and so
They called him Khan the Fortunate.

abatement Of the total indemnity,
but in the present disposition of the
powers but little hope Of success is
entertained.

Gen. Shafter called on President Me-

al once asked to be excused and hur-
