q SKULL CAP.
ou.,,lou A. to Its neinx a Head Cover
Raised In . Hartford
ooartroom.

The propriety OF spectators wearing
.kull caps in sessions OF the courts has
been somewhat discussed by attaches OF
the courts in the county building aud
others during the last few days The
discussion was brought about by an In
c;dent which occurred In Judge Cases
court recently. Inquiry shows that the
officer OF the court had good precedent
for preventing one of the spectators
from wearing q skull cap during the
session,
II was on one OF the days recently
when the jury was in attendance that
a tall and sged man walked into the
courtroom q few minutes after a case
had been taken up for trial. As soon as
he rot inside the door he took OIL his
oyercoat and sat In n OF the seats
without the bar. He had no sooner
seated himself than he put his hand
In the pocket of his o%vercoat, which
was lying on the seat beside him. He
took from the pocket a skull cap, placed
i upon his head aud then gave his un-
divided attention TO the witness upon
the witness stand. The court officer
was surveying the spectator all the
time and presently left his station and
told the spectator that he would have
to remove the cap from his head.
II an a clergyman" said the spec
tator, "and l wear this cap in church.
l think l should be permitted to wear
1t here"
"All heads must be uncovered in
court" said the officer.
IF l am not permitted 10 wear the
cap ! shall have to go out" said the
tall man.
81 can't help that" said the officer.
"You must Uncover your head II you
stay"
The man left the courtroom in haste
and hurried from the building. He
seemed to be a stranger 10 everyone,
and he has not made his appearance
in the courtroom since that time.
Although skull caps are quite gen.
orally worn in halls and other public
places, they are seldom noticed in
courtrooms. Judge Case said,
when asked of the propriety Of
spectators wearing skull caps in couIt,
that he knew Of no rule against Il. He
said that II a man was in the habit OF
wearing a skull cap and his health de-
manded that he wear II, he did not
know why 1t could not be worn under
such conditions. II a mar wanted 10
wear a cap in court through fancy,
Judge Case thought that would be diff
ferent. He did not know Of the Incl
dent regarding the skull cap in his
court until after II had happened. Had
he known he would have allowed the
man TO remain and wear the cap.
Another member OF the judiciary,
when spoken 10 OF the matter said
that be saw no improperly In the
wearing of a skull cap In court. He
did not know that he had ever seen a
skull cap worn in court. II he had
he could not recall It, but II a PERSONS
health was such as TO demand the wear
ing Of one he could see no objection to
it.-Hartford Comm Courant.

NATIVE PHILIPPINE GIRLS
They Are Pretta Have Graceful Fig
ures, and Are Experts at Ria
ing and Swimming.

The Philippine maiden is usually very
pretty, with a graceful, supple figure.
Her eyes are large and shaded by long
dark lashes; her hair Is black In color,
long and glossy, and II Is her chief pride.
She gives II a great deal Of care and
attention, frequently amounting 1t with
oil of the c%oconnut, which probably
gives 1t the peculiar gloss. The young
girl usually wears her hair hanging
loosely down her back, but the old
women build it up in a fauciful knot,
often adorned with flowers.
Next 10 her hair the Philippine Rirl
prides herself on her feet. She is not,
like the poor Chinese woman. forced to
have them Of diminutive proportions,
u she is just as careful OF them. She
wears no stockings, but incases the
feet in deliberately embroidered slip
pers without heels.
Very few of the women In these
Islands are well educated. Some, how
ever, have been taught In the c~onvents,
but their number is very small. The
Philippine girl is very fond of music,
and is generally able to play both on
the harp and the guitar. The guitar
is very popular, and might be called
the national instrument. For the pur-
pose Of assisting them in playing the
girls allow the thumb nail Of the right
hand to grow very long.
These girls are athletically inclined.
TheF ride and swim with great dex-
terity. They are also very fond Of
dancing. In Manila, which is a very
cosmopolitan city, many MestIzes, who
are creole girls Of the Philippines, 70

Rev. Isaac Collier was born In Greene
