Some of the latter can hardly be called towns, being nothing more than small villages or barrios, with about 20 or 30 houses, canteen or two, and perhaps church.
 The home of poor Filipino and his family is small nipa shack, hardly measuring 20 feet square, built en- ] tirely of bamboo wood and nipa leaves. One corner of it, about eight feet square, is used as sleep ing quarters This part is raised about three feet from the ground, and floor of split bamboo is made. The one-inch strips of bamboo are tied quarter of an inch apart. In fact, there is not nail used in the construction of the whole house, the bamboo and the nipa being tied with rattan. The posts are fastened to- gether with wooden pegs.
 In the rear of the house is small raised platform of bamboo wood, about three feet from the ground, on which the natives wash their clothes, take baths and clean fish and veg etables.
 Underneath this platform is mud puddle, in which the pigs waIlow and eat the refuse that falls from above. Tn fact, a pig is valuable, not only as article of food, but as scavenger as we'll.
 A low bamboo table, and probably a bench, is all the furniture that is used in the house. The natives while eating sit on the table with their feet under them. Chairs are used only by the better class. The fire place and cooking utensils used are about 200 years behind the times.
 The former is composed of three stones set in the ground, with a ire built between and earthen pot set over it. A half of a cocoanut shell is used as a cup. Table knives, forks and spoons are not used, the natives eating with their fingers.
 The main article of food is rice, with bit of dried fish and perhaps some sort of vegetable. The fish eaten by the poor natives are dried

these smaller towns they were amused to hear the bands playing "A Hot Time" at funeral, but since then it has become common and al- most everyday occurrence. The men dress as follows: White cotton trousers Sometimes with the hour-sack brand Minnesota XXX" {" on the widest part); almost any kind of an undershirt, covered with pima overshirt. But, unlike an American, the Filipino wears his shirts outside of his trousers.
 The women wear a cotton under garment that reaches to the waist. It has the neck cut very low and no sleeves at all. Over this madam wears eff she has one) a low-necked pima waist with very wide sleeves. The skirt is of almost any gaudy color and is partially covered by a dark-colored sheet that is wound around the lower part of the body and tucked in at the waist. Strings are used in place of buttons or hooks and eyes. A large co1ored handkerchief constitutes the head dress They the fou1-sme1ling cocoanut oil for their hair, and it is not an uncommon sight to see one woman picking vermin from an- others head.
 The organized bands of insurgents have disbanded and the insurrection is practically at an end. The great est trouble the American troops have at present is chasing the ladrones, who not only harass the American forces, but rob and murder their own people. Too much credit cannot be given the native secret service men who helped end the insurrection. Some of them were at one time in- surgents themselves, but had gotten tired of being hunted from pillar to post, and realizing they were fight ing for lost if not an unworthy cause they joined the American forces. @
 One of them in particular, named Macario Bautista, was at one time a captain of the insurgents and conn manded company at Anaboo, about A miles south of Manila. Becoming tired of being continually abused by his superior officers, and seeking re. venge, he joined the Americans. He surrendered to the commanding officer

of linus, and that night great raid was planned. ..-+.....
 The telegraph wires were kept hot sending messages from linus to San 1 Francisco de Malabon, and at two o'clock the next morning the two companies at linus joined the forces from Malabon and started towards Anaboo. Bautista and several other secret service men were in line also. At five o'clock, just at daybreak, Anaboo was entirely surrounded, so that not even dog could get out of the town. Aggressive operations began when four more companies of the Fourth infantry went into town houses and lined them up in the streets.
 The orders from Col. Baldwin were to ..'get everything that could carry a gun.' They were then. marched to a large open field, where they passed in single file past Bautista and the secret service men. Bautista was in his glory. He picked out two-thirds of his own company and many other in- surgents that belonged to different regiments and several high ranking officers.
 The men who had not been insur- gents were allowed their liberty, while the insurgents and ladroneS were taken to the prisons at linus. After working the roads for sew era1 months they were more than anxious to have their wives or friends bring in their guns so that they could take the oath of allegiance and get their liberty.
 Bautista is now great favorite among the men of the Fourth, and is always anxious to swell the list of prisoners. At the time his picture was taken he had his hand bandaged and when the writer asked him w'ha Ri1ed it he answered in Spanish: "sEste yonprimero introductory el Amer kanO mOlO,' meaning that it was tho results of his first introduction to the American mule. It evident that he had been around the business end of a mule.
 Some of the troops in the smaller towns of the Philippines are, and have been, quartered in churches or other buildings connected with the churches, but order was issued from head quarters in Manila that all church property be vacated as soon as pos- sible. When no other quarters were available large nipa quarters were built for the accommodation of the troops. A. A L.

in the sun and are from one to two inches long. Stewed grasshoppers are great luxury. Pork and caraboa meat are eaten only on holidays, on account of the high price.
 The natives, with few exceptions, are great gamblers, and almost every hombre has one or two game-cocks. On Saturdays, Sundays and all holi= days the cock-pits are crowded with men, women and children, all eager to bet on their favorite game-cock. All classes are represented there, from the t'presidente' of the town to the hum b1est resident of the dis tant foothills.
 The caraboa, or water buffalo, is used for transportation purposes. During the dry season a heavy two- wheeled wagon is used, the wheels being made out of one solid piece of roads are muddy, a sort of a low sled is used, with bamboo runners.
 At funeral the corpse is laid on a bamboo stretc1er and carried to the church After a short sermon it is carried to the cemetery, where it is rolled or Sewed in a piece of mat. ting and then buried. Those who can afford it hire a native band to escort the body to the church and then to the cemetery, playing lively airs.

bred, he soon earned for his rider, Abe Conger, of company A, the distinction of being frequently detailed for spe- cia1 service. Several extraordinary marches of over 80 miles a day are placed to his credit, but the event which most endeared him to the hearts of the troop was his being a participant in the capture of Jefferson Davis.
 During the term of his service he acquired a wonderful veneration for his country's flag and many are the pa thetic stories told in this connection. It is the special pride of Capt. Harter to relate that one day when flag was being raised at a schoolhouse near the field in which Frank was grazing he jumped the fence soon he saw it and stood beneath it's waving folds until it was removed at night.
 The monument, which is on Capt. Harter's farm at Upper Sandusky, is a single powder, extremely hard and red and gray in color, with sharply cut facets which sparkle and glisten in the sunlight as it beams upon the spot which will long be venerated in honor of one of mans best friends and an influential factor in the making of his fnTv

THE YALE CAMPUS.
All the Life of the University Gen.
tralises ON That Popular
Ground.

"A great majority OF Yale students
never attain distinction as scholars,
literary men, athletes or leaders in
the several other departments of col
lege activity. A lesser number have
no apparent desire for such attain
ment. Nevertheless, says Frederick
Tilney. in Ainslee's. excellence is the
dominating spirit of the place, and
the Yale man who casts ambition to
the winds, who devotes himself to no
effort, condescends to the level of
the general, all-round dub" and Is
known in college parlance as "foot-
less" But, whether the young
-matriculant comes up from his
preparatory school with a good stock
of ambition, or whether he is pos
sessed of the sorry character that
lacks it, he subjects himself to many
influences which cannot fail to leave
their stamp upon him. Not the least
OF these is the influence of the Yale
campus. Life at Yale is thoroughly
centralized; indeed, no other college
cultivates this feature more assidu-
ously. Many of them slight it alto
gether.- In certain of these instances
the authorities sanction the so-called
fraternity houses" and encourage
the students to live in society build
ings more or less remote from their
campus. The result is that the
campus becomes mere schoolyard,
while distinct "sets" or "cliques" are
established, among which a perpet-
ual. petty warfare is in process. In
the Yale campus every man finds his
front lawn and his public park, his
school-grounds and his capitol. The
policy which designed the order of
the Old Brick Row, which set the re-
citation hall next door to the dormi-
tory. has been followed out to the let
ter. To-day the humble brick build
ings are surrounded by splendid
halls. some of which are used for re-
citation purposes and some for DOR
mitories. On one corner stands the
chapel; on another the art school
and libraries. while side by side are
the grim structure of Alumni hall
and the imposing headquarters Of
the Yale Y. NJ c. A. The lack of uni
fication from which one great uni
versity has suffered of late years can
be directly ascribed TO fault in it's
campus policy. Many signs announce
ing "rooms to let" will be found on
it's dormitory halls, showing that
the students live elsewhere than on
