They seem to be somewhat smaller
and slighter of figure than their Chris
tian neighbors.
Their languages show close kinship
to those Of the civilized tribes adjacent
and also as close to those of the saw
ages of Formosa. Few of the tribes
possess lands fit for the cultivation of
lowland rices, and fewer still have the
necessary skill and implements and
plow beasts (buffaloes) for cultivating
such lands. Their recourse is the
common one Of savages nearly the
world round-they cut off small por-
tions of the forest during the dry sea-
son, and after burning this over, they
plant, at the beginning of the rainy
season, upland rice, maize, sweet po-
tatoes, etc., among the blackened logs
and stumps. The supply of food thus
gained is usually insufficient, and af-
ter it is eaten up they lead miserable

The kreese, though, is the most i'm.
portant Of all Filipino weapons. The
more savage tribes lasso the foe and
cut off his head with the kreese.
Others steal up behind the foe and
aiming little below the base of the
brain decapitate him with single blow.
The Medical News publishes letter
from its special correspondent at Ma.
nila, describing the plan pursued by
the Philippine natives to poison ar.
rows and their dexterity in infiicting
barbarous punishment upon their enc.
mics with daggers. He says: It will
have to be taken into consideration
that most Of the Philippine Islanders
are savages who fight with lances and
poisoned arrows. I once had the
privilege Of witnessing the prepara-
ton of number of these poisoned
weapons, and as nearly as 1 can re-
member the process was about as fol-
lows:
"The poison was made from the
bark of two different trees, the names
of which I have forgotten. One of
the pieces of bark was beaten almost
to jelly, pressed and dried, then
moistened and again pressed. Though
the man used his bare hands in doing
this, he apparently was not injured in
any way by contact with the poison.
The juice of the bark thus extracted
looked very much like pea soup as it
simmered in an earthen vessel over a
slow fire. When it had reached the
consistency of syrup q quantity of
pulp from the second piece OF bark
was scraped off and the juice of this
squeezed into the syrup over the fire.
"The juice of the second piece Of
bark was dark brown in color, and the
liquid in the vessel was darkened and
changed as soon as the new ingredient
was stirred into it. The mixture was
then allowed to simmer for some time,
until it had attained the consistency
of jelly, when it was scraped out of the
vessel with chip and put on large
leaf which had been plentifully sprin-
kled with ashes. This preparation
can be kept long time without losing
any of its strength. To poison an ar
rowhead piece of this jelly SUBJ
stance about the size of hickory nut
is warmed and rubbed all over the
point. which can be used repeatedly
without the poison losing its virtue.
'The natives also have daggers with
sharp-pointed blades about four
inches wide and foot long, which
they call bararaos. They are very
dexterous in the use Of this weapon,
and II they can lay hold Of IN sdver-
sary by tho hair, they out of his head

Their clothing usually consists solely
of the taparabo, or breech clout, all
else generally being in the nature of
ornament aud consisting of beads
about the neck and head and arms,
and anklets or leglets Of boar's bristles.
and frequently with bright colored
pearl shells hanging upon the back or
breast. The Spanish authorities do
not allow the savages to enter the
towns in their ordinary state Of naked
ness, which accounts for the unusual
amount of clothing shown in the ac-
companying photographs. They fre-
quently blacken the teeth, and in some
cases file them to point.
Some of the wilder tribes of North
Luzon are said still to hunt the heads
of their enemies with which to orna-
ment their dwellings, like the head.
hunting savages of Formosa and the
Dyaks Of Borneo, but the tribes in
contact with the Christian Indians
content themselves with hanging the
skulls of monkeys, deer, wild boar and
buffaloes about their doors.
The weapons used by savages in the
interior of Luzon, Mindanao and the
smaller Philippine Islands are perhaps
more deadly than those of any other
race. The quaint and curions shapes
of their daggers and kreeses lend to
them distinct popularity not found
in the weapons Of other races. Small
in size, skilfully carved and pointed,
they can be handled with great effect,
and in most instances a single trust is
sufficient to do the work. Like the
Indian arrow heads some of them are
poisoned at the point, which means
sure death once wound is inflicted.
Perhaps the most deadly of all the
Philippine weapons are the daggers
carried by the chiefs. These are
made of iron, mostly of poor quality,
and are about eighteen inches long.
They are crooked or wavering in
shape, with rough, uneven surface.
The edges are as sharp as a razor, the
point almost like that of needle, and
they are carried in case which fits
the blade to perfection. The cases
are made of hard wood, the handles
bearing beautifully carved inscrip-
tions, representing the name of the
chief and tribe. These crooked dag
gers are carried exclusively by the
chiefs, the right to possess them be-
ing considered a great honor.

parts of all the large islands of the
group, except Cebu and Bohol, in
which they have either been Chris
tianized and merged with the civilized
Indians or have been driven out.
They still occupy nearly all the terri
tory Of the great islands of Mindoro
and Palawan. They number, accord
ing to Spanish estimates, some three
or four hundred thousand, belonging
to over fifty different tribes.
They are shut off from the sea and

probably remain in much the same

of the house. Later the viceroy re-

and her mind was developed beyond
that of most Chinese women. The
favorite slave OF the Emperor of China
became the favorite wife, and when
the Empress consort died, she became
Empress of China. On the journey
by river to Pekin, with servants sent
with her by the viceroy, she had given
ring to young lad who saved man
from drowning in the river. She had
promised the ring to any one who
would save the drowning man. The
youth to whom she gave the ring had
an intelligent face; he was sailor, in

The Gored Skirt.

The skirt models cut with five or
seven cores gain rather than lose in
favor. The five-gored shape has u
rather wide side breadth. The popu-
larity of the piece suit is largely
due to the fact that il is moderate
style--neither too full nor too scant in
breadths--and also to its general con-
tour and effect; it proves alike becom-
ing to stout as to slenders figures, to
women tall or short, and is ap excel

A Seasonable Costume.

Smooth faced cloth in dark hunters
green is the material chosen for the
stylish 'May Manton" coat, shown in
the large engraving, which is one of
the newest this season. Large bone
buttons close the fronts in double
breasted style, and machine stitching
gives the correct finish. The body is
closely fitted with single bust darts,
under-arm and side-back cores, the
seam in centre-back curving stylishl9
above the deep coat laps just below
the waist-line. Deep skirt portions
are joined in cross-hip seams to the
body portion, coat pleats being formed
where they join the back, large but
ton marking the top. These skirt
portions may lap with the fronts or be
cut off and finished in centre with
round or square lower corners. The
fronts are faced, and roll back in wide
lapels that meet the rolling collar in
notches. Large pocket laps are in
cluded in the hip seams and give q
jaunty air to the coat. Thel two
scanned sleeves may be pleated, gath
cred or dart fitted at the top. For
coats in this style, plain faced cloth
in shades OF blue, brown, tan, green
gray and mode is mostly chosen, braid
or stitch straps being appropriate
decorations. A tailor finish or
machine stitching is always correct
and in good taste.
