three times the number wounded,
which testifies to the fierce and merci-
less character of the warfare waged
by these natives of MindanaO.
The Moros are n dark colored, mus
cular race, and fighting comes as nat
ural to them as breathing, because for
centuries there has scarcely been
time when some war was not going on,
either between different tribes and
their ''dattos," as the rulers are called,
or against the Spanish. Among them
piracy has fiourished for hundreds of
years, and they are accustomed TO lives
of desperation and daring.

Old Maids, Advica.

As onloolxers are supposed to see more of the game than the players the old maid may be imparting sound advice when she says:
 Men won't be driven; they must be led. Men don't like domestic grievances. They have no sympathy for household troubles. They hate to have trifling annoyances dinned into their ears. Men like smiles and welcomes, no matter what must como afterward.
 Exhibitions of temper never yet made a man more loving. Pouting and posing as a martyr will not keep a husband at home If he wants to go out. Keep him in good temper so long as you can. He Is not a very sweet creature when thwarted.
