AMOK IN THE PHILIPPINES.
How it is Done by the Mahometans in
 Suu,

How it is Done by the Mahometans in 1
 Suu.
 In Sulu and in Mindano amoks by Mahometan fanatics among Moro tribesmen are common. These fellows gave the Spaniards formerly good deal of trouble They are now giving the American successors of the Span iards an idea of what amok running means. The Manila Times thus han dles some recent fanatical outbursts Of this kind in that quarter: From time to time reports have come in from the southern possessions thating that some Moros have run amok." While many people will recognize the expression. there are few who know it's real signt- fl canceas pertaining to the Moros. In 1900 reports frequently came from the Twenty-third Infantry, the Twenty eighth and Fortieth Volunteer regi- ments of Moros running amok.' Since the departure of these regiments for the States reports from their successors, the Seventeenth Infantry and Fifteenth Cavalry, have frequently referred to the same class of Moros. An army of fcer, cecently from the Sulu archipela- go, gives the following significance to | the expression: According to the Ma hometan religion, subject, no matter how tired he may be of life, cannot reach his happy hunting ground should he commit suicide. These fanatics have a more graceful manner of fore
 ing death upon themselves than more civilized people. For example: Sulu
 Moro, through falling hopelessly in debt, being taken into slavery; after time sometimes becomes dependent and
 decides to shuffle off the mortal twist.
 Having reached this frame of mind, he | tells his troubles to the priest of his
 datao or chieftain, who, if he believes the subject is in earnest, refers the case to the next higher authority with his approval. Thus the case goes on
 through "official channels" until 1t reaches the member of the court of the Sultan who decides such matters Should this dignitary approve of the suppIication. the subject is given reli-
 gious ceremony and swears to 'die l fighting" His eyebrows and parts of his head are then shaved clear, and under certain conditions he is given a
 white turban. His sword, or other | weapon, which must have the keen
 edge of razor, is then examined, and if found satisfactory he starts out on
 the prescribed mission of blood letting.
 A great factor in the happiness in the
 future world is his horse that he will
 receive after death. Its size will be large or small, according to whether he stays many or few, and it's color light
 or dark, depending upon the color of his victims. He, of course, desires a
 large white horse. Thus it may be seen that he is dangerous character, par |. ticularly to Americans and Europeans, though Chinese being of lighter skin than himself. often become his vic- tins. He prefers the lighter blood, but
 does not hesitate to deal the death blow

to other human beings, even to his fei- low tribesmen, if this coveted blood is not to be had. figuring. no doubt. that in the world to come he will be better off with a small dark horse than with no s.eed at all. During the last year five Moros have run amok in Joio, the chief town of sulu. Thanks to the alertness of the American soldiers, but one person has been injured by these fends, and his recovery is assured.

The Kansas courts have had to pass on the question of the legal status of a woman, divorced from her husband un- der an interlocutory decree, during the six months before the decree becomes final. Before this six months had pass ed the pair went to living together again, supposing that no marriage cer- emony was necessary if they took up marital relations inside of the prescrib- ed time. Some months ago the husband died, and certain kinfolks set up claim to his estate, alleging that he had no wife in law. It was the defense of the wife that, as they had taken up the marriage relation before the divorce became final, the decree of divorce thus became null and void. It was also off, fered in defense that she had lived openly with the deceased, and that,

Governor Pennypacker of Pennsylva- mia has more backbone than some peo- pie credited him with. He has refused to sign number of private pension bills intended to relieve soldiers who claim to have been injured while serV- ing the State. His reason is that such nensions should be fixed by general law and not by the "pulr' that individual appiicants are able to exert.

There are some reasons for answering the question "Does gold grow?" in the affirmative, says Popular Mechanics, but we must not expect to grow golden eagles from dollars. It has been found that gold nuggets under favorable con- ditions increase in size. It is claimed that nuggets found in placers are the formations from the waters that perco- late through the gravel and are not from decomposed quartz, as is generally supposed. Those who so contend cite the fact that in the center of nuggets can be found a small grain of iron sand. This was the nucleus around which the earth current of electricity created or deposited gold from the substances in the waters; just as it is deposited in electroplating.

Tn order to lessen the temptation to aasert,on from the navy, which is get ling to be serious evil, the department has instructed commanding officers to try the effect of giving their men longer neriods of shore leave; and when the North Atlantic squadron gets into port in May, the men will be allowed to stay ashore for ten days. Forty-eight hours liberty is now the longest given. It is believed that when the men return to their homes and see the difference be- tween the kind of living they have ashore and that which they receive in service they will be more disposed to remain on board ship.
