In The Philippines
Varying Manners nd Customs ef the Differ
Races of Our New Possessions.

1t is not generally known that the
inhabitants of the island of Sulu are
descended in a direct line from the
natives of Borneo, but such is the fact
The two races, now considered dis
tinct, have many traits in common.
The Sulus are Moros, and although
long separated from the parent stock
preserve the original characteristics
of that race They are in some parts
fierce, warlike people who continu-
ally prey upon the weaker tribes
around them. They have slaves, prac-
tice polygamy, punish theft by decapi-
tation and either make slaves of their
prisoners of war or chop them into
many pieces with their creeses, a pc
culiar blade with waves in it seen in
no other Pacific isle.
The Moros, or Moors, belong to the
Malay race. Eearly in the sixteenth
century two brothers in the north of
Borneo had a quarrel as to the sue
cession of the chiefship of the tribe.
The result was that one left with his
followers and landed on the island of
Basilan, at which place, after awhile
there was another quarrel; some left
and settled in the north of MindanaO
and others in Jolo, and up to the pres
ent time it has been one series of war
fare between the different tribes. They
bear no relation to the inhabitants of
Morocco, hence the name Moros, or
Moors, is not a true one. They are
a Malay converted to the Mohamme-
dan faith, a very few of them being
acquainted with the doctrine of Mo-
manned
In the lake region of Mindanao the
natives are fierce and warlike, while
those on the coast are peaceable to
certain extent. They wear tight-fitting
jackets, pants buttoned near the bot
tom, cloth around the waist and tur-
ban for the head. They are fond of
gay colors and many of their cloths
are of hand-woven silk. The women
wear boomers and body cloth These
costumes differ according to locality
and tribe.
Some tribes wear short hair; others
wear long hair, giving them very eff
Terminate appearance. Some wear the
goatee, some let the ends of the mus
tache grow and some have smooth
faces.
They are warriors and sailors, or,
more properly speaking, pirates. and
history tells of many daring exploits
Of these people. They are also great
fishermen, using net, spear and hook.
They compel weak tribes around them
to pay tribute.

Breaking tie Ice.

The youthful hope of the family
aged eight, ran away from home di-
rectly after luncheon. At nightfall he
was found under a hedge, fast asleep
and brought home by a neighbor.
The father and mother were at din
ner when the prodigal returned; but
in order to more effectually punish
him quite ignored him during the en-
tire progress of the meal. The little
one ate his dinner in uneasy silence,
eying his parents furtively from time
to time Dinner over, the mother car
ried the dishes to the kitchen and pro-
ceeded to wash them
The child, who had remained silent
since his return, saw he must break
the ice, and cast about in his mind for
q way that should at once be effectual
and carry with it proper rebuke to
his unfeeling parents.
The cat purring in front of the
kitchen stove gave him an idea, and in
the voice and manner of one who has
just returned from a journey of many
years and many lands, he sighed loud
ly and said in a reminiscent tone:
We'll, l see you have the same old

Exclusive Greenland.

Greenland, with its icy mountains,
is not only cool, but very exclusive,
for it does not invite visitors, and it
even makes it inconvenient for tour
lists to land on the little bit of occa-
sionally green land that surrounds Its
great heart of perpetual ice. Permis-
sion must be had from old, conserva-
can visit the not very inviting north
ern colony.
Denmark is indeed very careful and
conservative in the management of
Greenland affairs. The trade there is
monopolized by the state, and only
government vessels are welcomed to
Greenland waters. This, says Den
mark, is to protect the Greenlander
from INSCRIPTIONS merchants. And to
make sure of the peoples welfare the
state fixes both the price they shall
pay for food and the price they shall
sell at.
The quantity sold is also regulated,
so that the natives will not leave
themselves short of food or clothing.
In fact, the Greenlander is under
strict guardianship and is allowed to
buy no spurious liquors.
The trade between Greenland and
the mother country is, as a rule, car
ried on by nine vessels belonging to
the Greenland Company, and under
government direction.

FINDS IN THE ELECTRIC GLOBES

by the Arc Lights
1--WE get all kinds of bugs, birds and
insects out of the globes said one OF
the men who attend to the electric
lights I'm cleaning out our globes we
find a little collection every time They
are attracted to the light in some way,
and are never satisfied until they land
in the globe, where, of course, they
soon die from heat. When l get hold
of a real rare specimen l always find
a ready sale for it with some of the
bug collectors here in Washington. 1t
is not often, however, that we find
anything real rare. Occasionally after
a storm or a long dry spell something
new will turn up in the globes
1.-THE changes in the weather are
sure to bring about a change in the
crop of things which get into the
globes. The most valuable bug 1 ever
found l sold to a fellow over there in
the agricultural department. He gave
me 81 bill for it, and said it was a
bug he had been hunting for for more
than a year He called it by a name
which no one but a Dutchman could
pronounce. This bug had a head ex-
actly like an elephant, and its legs
turned in and out like a frogs 1t
was nearly as large as a tree frog.
have never been able to find another
one like it. These pesky English spar
rows keep us busy tearing their nests
out of globes during their breeding
season. They can build a nest in a
day or two, but they don't take any
pains to make them nice. They are
built of straw, paper, strings, sticks or
just any old thing the bird can find
without hunting around.-Washing

Mines of Wax.

In several parts of the world a
resinous substance, called ozocerite,
and bearing considerable resem blance
to beeswax, is found, usually in con-
nection with rock salt and coal There
are deposits in Austria, Russia, Rou-
mania, Egypt. Algeria. Canada and
Mexico, buo ozocerite has. so far, not
been discovered in sufficient quanti-
ties to pay for mining anywhere ex-
cept in the district of Boryslav, in
Austrian Galicia, and on an island on
the west coast of the Caspian sea. In
mining this mineral wax, shafts are
sunk until a bed or NEST" of ozocer-
lite is struck. Then connection gal
leries are driven There is consider
able danger, and many lives have been
lost in consequence of the sudden fore
ing up of the soft wax into the shafts
by the enormous pressure to which
it is subjected. 1t is used largely for
manufacturing ceresin, which is en-
ployed. together with beeswax, for
making wax candles, as we'll as in the
manufacture of Photographic cylin-
ders, and for many similar purposes
