his Jurisdiction. two citizens for each

ment thus called met In London on
Ian 90. 1865 and was practically the
first in which the people. as as
tlnguished from the nobility ana

bamboo Pole Pals.

The Moros, who live In the matched
houses built along the shore OF lake
or river, have a curious way OF con-
veying water from the lake or river
TO their Filipino Kitchens. They use
large bamboo sticks from which have
been removed all the partitions char
acterstic of the bamboo, leaving only
one at ths bottom, The bamboo trunk
is thus made to serve the purpose OF q
bucket. 1t is like a long narrow pail
and holds several gallons Of water, for
the bamboo trunk IL quite thick. The
Moro women are the water carriers.
as this is a part OF the household du-
ties which naturally fall to them. They
grind the rice and other grain In a
large followed out log, using a heavy
pole to crush the kernels.-New York
