QUEER EASTER CUSTOM.
How Filipino Penitents Tortuse
Themselves

One OF the many curious customs prac-
uced by some persons in tho Philippine
islands ls the way in which they observe
tho week before Easter. For tho Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday before Easter
the streets or roads on tho outskirts of
some villages, and sometimes the prin-
clpal streets OF the town Itself are filled
with crowds, who have come to see tho
natives infiict self-torturc.
The willing victims are stripped to tho
waist, their faces arc covered with a
heavy hemp rope, with q cluster of from
fifteen to twenty smaller hompep cords
To each OF these is fastened a small pleco
of hard wood. The whole thing is Just
long enough so that when flung over the
shoulder It will not quito reach TO tho
waist.
When the penitonts arc ready 10 start
out q Filipino. who has been appointed
as q sort or overEecr. takes tho flesh OF
tho back between his thumb and first
finger and cuts the skin with long bolo.
This is done all over the back He then
cries. "Alle, slgie" eco ahead.") Then
tho penitent begins to beat his back by
lashlns his cluster OF little pieces OF wood
and cords first over ono shoulder, then
over the other, until the back is so lacer-
nted that II somewhat resembles raw

has just shown in The London Times,
there has been a steady, progressive
diminution in the drink bill, amount
ing for the whole period 70 $110000,000.
The decrease in 1905 over 1904 alone
was $4,000 900. 1t is said that some of
the largest brewing companies are
perilOusly near bankruptcy, with dim
inishing sales in spite of the increase
of population, though Dr. Burns cal
culates that the total expenditure of
the United Kingdom for alcoholic
drinks, distilled and fermented, was
last year $S2O,OOO,OOO This would seem
to give a large margin for further re-
duction. Excise receipts have fallen
off by nearly $2O,OOO,OOO, but no Chan
Cellor of the EXchequer will regret a
deficit on that account, for it marks,
as the detailed analysis shows, amelio-
ration especially among the poorer
classes, and is paralleled, not mnatur-
ally, by the increase in the same quar-
ters of savings bank deposits.
The inference from this, and from
every similar example, of which the
course of human progress is full that
now that freedom in this matter has
been given the people of the Territory,
now that the responsibility has been
placed on them, now that the presence
or absence of saloons i'm their immedi-
ate localities, is, in some degree, put
upon the people themselves, it is ine-.
vitable that they will give it their at
tention, that the evils of drink will be
considered, and that in the end, slow
ly it may be, but in the end, righteous
sentiment shall be felt and make itself
felt.
Let there be any degree of amend
ment of the liquor law that may seem
to meet conditions, but let
there be no surrender of the principle
that the people themselves i'm their sew
eral localities, shall have both power
and responsibility i'm the matter
