HOW TO DRAW A CORK.
Il Can BE Done With Common Piece
Of Sealine.Wax.

II you want to amuse friends at q
picnic. or have left the corkscrew at
home. as usually happens. tell them
that you can draw cork out OF any
bottle without corkscrew. or course
they will laugh. but very soon II Will
be your turn to smile.
Take a piece OF sealing-wax and
hold one end of II over q lighted
match until 1t becomes soft: then let
some drops OF the wax fall on the
cork In the bottle. AS soon Ms the
cork Is covered with wax you must
press the piece which you hold in your
hand against the cork. and you must
hold 1t there until the wax is quite
dry. Then 1t Will be easy for you to
draw out the cork by using the stick
OF wax which adheres to 1t, In the
same manner as you would use q
screw.
No matter how firmly fixed the cork
may be. II will almost Immediately
yield to the pressure. You must.
however. take care not to wrench the
stick OF wax away from II while you
are drawing 1t out. and you must also
see that the cork is perfectly dry be-
fore you put any wax on II.

Concerning the Moros. whose ances.
tors probably came from Bornco and

that the Moro Is a man built for the

these weapons are his inseparable
companions. He sleeps with them.
and he fights equally well on foot, on

OF slave or stranger merely to try
the kecnness of new weapon. Look.
ing upon work as disgrace. his
scheme Of life consists in making
slaves of less warlike men. to work
for him. and taking their best.look,nx
girls for his harem.
On the other hand. some of our oh
servant army officers recently in Min
danao declare that the Moros are very
like the best of our North American
Indians. such as the Nez Perces and
Northern Cheyennes. in features and
manners. In their love of independ.
ence. and in personal dignity and
pride. They are apt to be courteous.
lighthearted. and improvident. Their
sense OF humor is strong. and they
are amcnable to argument and reason.
Their dislike for work is rather the
warriors contempt for labor than
mere laziness.
Though no reliable figures are oh.
tainable. II Is believed that there arc
about 100000 Moros in Mindanao.
Some authorities say only $1,000.
however: The Moros, as a rule. are
disposed to be very friendly when
treated as equals. and by following
out that idea the Americans have ac.
complished with them what the Span.
iards. who behaved very haught.ly to
them. could not do in 800 years.
