The next most interesting race in
habiting the Philippines is the Malay
nation known as Tagals. who are nu-
merous, live in the lowlands on pile
dwellings and are semi-civilized, being
numerous people and in intercourse
with the whS.es governing the island.
They are rather handsome in appear
ance, with round head, low brow, fiat
nose. thica lips, dark eyes and com
plexion and possess a strangely accu-
rate sense Of smell. Their usual cos
tune Is a shirt worn on the outside
of linen trousers, and a big straw hat.
They have small plantations on which
are grown such crops as rice. tobacco,
sugar, coffee, mangoes, potatoes and
hemp, the latter staple being one Of
the largest exports Of the island
These Tagals are a kind and gener-
GUS race. but make fierce soldiers
They are very fond Of rich dress, of
gaudy ornaments, and 1t is this taste
belonging to his race which led Agui-
naldo to decorate himself with gold
medals in truly barbaric style In honor
OF his elevation by his success in arms.
Their huts are surrounded by a fence
OF bamboo stakes and though some of
the windows are fashioned with moth
er-of-pearl, instead of glass, which is
hard to get, the household furnishings
are of the most primitive sort These
consist of mats. which serve as floor
covering and beds. crockery made by
the women, utensils of stone or cocoa
nut shells, baskets of wicker-worh and
platters carved of wood, cloth woven
on the ancient looms. while the corn
is ground by the women with the old
fashioned mortar and pestle. They are
expert carpenters and also adopts at
metal working.
These primitive people have many
excellent proverbs, among them being
the sayings:
Don't fling stone; it may fall on
your own head.
Tell lie and find truth.
A monkey dressed up is but a mon
key still.
Answer nonsense by nonsense.
In beating tor fruit, beat not the
tree.
The poor have no nurse.
Wake not the sleeping.

TO WALK CORRECTLY.

To walk we'll is an art that should
be learned by every woman when she
is young, and then as she grows older
she will walk gracefully as matter
of course and there will be no effort
at all in the way that she does it.
For though woman can learn to walk
perfectly gracefully when she Is old
er. there is never the unconscious
grace of motion that there is if she is
taught how to walk as child. The
training of child in walking correctly
should begin at its very earliest years.
AS soon as 1t is old enough to be
taught to walk it should be taught
how to do it correctly. Very many
children are really never taught to
walk at all. They are put on their
feet by their nurses and allowed to run
about anyhow, and little faults, that
may grow into large ones. go utterly
unchecked. All children should be
taught to dance when they are between
and 6; this will make them walk
better and hold themselves better than
anything else.
When you walk you should put the
foot firmly and yet lightly on the
ground. Never walk as though your
feet were of lead and yet do not mince
and go along as if you were overcome
with affectation; either extreme is
very bad style. You should hold your
body erect and your head up and the
shoulders well back. In this way you

Broke Up the Meeting.

At a preaching down "a Kentucky
back county a coIOred preacher noted
Tor his elUquence was in the pulpit,
relates the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune. 1t was in the early winter,
and Brother Hawkins had put on a
pair of leather trousers, of which he
was very proud. and always wore at
big preacLings. They had been hung
up in the garrett all summer and a
family Of wasps had jumped his claim
to them, and built a nice little nest
i'll d snug place.
Brother Hawkins had read his text
and was slowly working along to his
firstly" when one Of the wasps awak
ened from his winters nap and con-
cluded to investigate the disturbance.
He found his home despoiled and the
despoiler nigh so he proceeded to get
even as far as possible, meanwhile hol-
lering for help.
Brother Hawkins stopped short,
grabbed at the place, rolled his eyes
to heaven, and then started in again
on his sermon. Then the whole wasp
family woke up, mamma wasp and
papa wasp, and all the little wasps,
and they fell upon their enemy in
great force, and smote him hip and
thigh and anywhere else they got u
chance.
The pulpit was vacated in a hurry,
and the last the astonished congrega
ton saw of Brother Hawkins he was
running for the woods, slapprng his
legs and cavorting in a decidedly I'M
dignitied manner.
He shouted as he went out, you're
all dismissed, there will be no preach
ing today; the word of God is in my
mouth but the DEVILS in my britches."
