| with fried chicken. fish, eggs, Spanish
bread. stringy sweet potatoes, and tea
The chicken and the fish were accom-
panied by 81 sort of dressing of rice, TO-
matoes. and the inevitable garlic.
1t was Here, after eating an egg and
drinking Il little tea. that Capt. Prescott
failed 10 make good his boast of the enor-
nous quantity he was going to eat Tor
dinner. and avoided any further proximity
to the garlic by eXcuSinS himself on the
plea of sickness.
After dinner we again sank into the
depths of the rockers and smoked cigar
cts and piled Arevalo with questions
about Filipino customs and habits.
Our host had taken off his shoes and
was comfortable in his bare feet; but
though cordially invited to do the same
we did not follow suit, so strong was the
force of habit with us.
Bedtime with men as tired as we nat
urally came early. We had seen no beds
in any of the rooms, and. as this was
our first night in a Filipino house, we had
q natural curiosity about where we were
| to sleep. This was soon satisfied. for the
women appeared with some soft mats
woven of strips of palm leaf, and spread
them upon the floor. This sleeping mat, or
'patata' is about eight feet square, and
is used universally for beds and for cover
ing for bundles. the better qualities being
usually decorated with cOlOred patterns.
The weaving of these patatas is similar
TO that of the coarse bags in which rice
and tea are imported from the Orient, but
the strips from which they are made are
much narrower. and the texture of them
q great deal finer.
OUR FIRST NIGHT IN A NATIVE HOME.
Before the mats were spread, however.
the floor was swept, and i'll order to make
it clear what this means the nature of 1t
must be described. The floor of the or
binary Filipino house. all except the finer
houses and buildings in the cities, is made
of bamboo strips. Let one take the or
binary cane fishpole and slit it down the
middle and nail these strips across the
floor jOists, the convex side up, leaving a
space of about half an inch between them,
and he will have the regulation Filipino
floor. The outer surface of the cane is,
as all who have handled a tishpole know.
very hard and smooth. The Filipinos go
