A traveller recently returned to this
country from the Philippines gives an in
teresting description of the graceful car
rage and walk Of the women IN that
place. ''As a rule the women of all
classes are as straight as the wall OF q
house, if not straighter. A plumb line
dropped from the nape of the neck would,
in most instances, fall well behind the
heels But the gait is peculiar swing
which is quite noticeable. Some charge
this, as well as the straightness, to their
habit of carrying all burdens. from
cake of soap to house and lot, on the
top of the head. That is probably the
cause of the erect bearing, but think
the peculiar gait due to a certain swing
of the limbs required for keeping the
shoes on the feet. The local Womans
shoes consist usually of fiat sole with
toe cap. Sometimes the cap has room
for all the toes; sometimes not. Often
the sole is raised from the ground by
wooden heels and soles-blocks like, but
lower than those used by the Japanese.

Prof. A. E. Frye, superintendent of
public schools in Cuba, has come to the
United States to arrange trip for l.
600 of these teachers to this country
during the summer. His plan is to spend
six weeks at Harvard with the teachers
and then take them to New York, CHI
cago, Washington and then back to Cuba.

It is estimated that the cost of lighting
the plague in Honolulu will reach at least
81, 900 900, a large part Of these expenses
having been incurred in finding homes
for the people who were burned out by
the fires, particularly the great confiagra-
ton on Jan. 20. Eight hundred japanese
residents who were burned out in that
fire have petitioned the Government to
exempt them from taxes for the year
1900. If the request is granted it would
be to open the way for similar claims
on the part of some 10000 Chinese and
nearly as many natives.
