LIFE OF A TEACHER IN. PHILIPPINES.

I\ school in the Philippines, writes
49, brightly and ehtertainingly of
some conditions there. In the following
paragraphs:
We have just moved the girls school
in Dagupan into a new building, a pri-
vate native house, hired for the pur-
pose. But we chose the date Of NOV
ing badly, for It, is the beginning OF
the fiesta, and the cock-ighting will
last two weeks. 1t will be impossible
during that time to get any one to do a
days work for us. The benches are
too long for the rooms and we will not
be able to get a carpenter to saw them
off or any n to put the blackboards
in place. We are. so near the cockpits
that the noise is deafening. School
has to be carried On largely by signs.
The cocks crow continually, the
swarming children shrek and cry and
the women are forever pounding rice.
In going to school we have to cross the
river in a banca. 1t Is nothing more
than a log followed out, in which we
crouch at the bottom and are padded
across by a small Filipino boy.
The islands swarm with insects Of
all kinds. Ants are most plentiful and
most troublesome. AS 1 am writing,

Mauresque style.
Sailor collars will be much worn on
blouses this season, and a pretty slip
in white Japanese. silk is made in this
style, and trimmed with transparent
insertions of lace down the front and
also on the edge of the collar. Another
in spotted point d'esprit has sailor
collar trimmed with Mauresque lace,
AS this is quite transparent, it can be
worn over slip of any color.
The most strikingly new things are
the tub gowns, as they are called here
in ordinary phraseology, wash
gowns. They were never so elaborate
or so generally worn as this year. One
may see any number of them made up
as deliberately as silks and crepes, and
the question suggests itself as to the
fitness of the name, for Tubing would
really mean utter ruination to them.
The only excuse for the name is that
they are made of originally washable
materials, but when the laces and
braidings and ribbons and things are
arranged upon these materials, wash
ing is not to be thought of.
Every woman needs at least one
strictly tailor-made linen gown. For
morning wear there is nothing so suit
able and surely nothing any smarter.
A very stylish gown of this sort was
worn here during the week. 1t was
made of heavy ecru linen. The cor
sage of the gown was made in blouse
style, with the front and back laid in
two box plaits. At the waistline these
plaits narrowed good deal and con
tinuing on down the skirt, broadened t
twice their width at the bottom.
The space between the two plaits
was Ornamented with an openwork

almost wholly to the teachings of the
Koran, which among other things of
similar character says the husband
may divorce his wife without assign
ing any reason or giving any notice;
he may rebuke, imprison and scourge
her. He may twice divorce and twice
take back the same woman, but if he a
third time divorce her she cannot again
become his wife until she has married
and been divorced from some other
man. (Sura, H., 23O). Yet Ibrahim
Halebi says: GIN the absence of seri-

the law. If he abandon his wife or put
her away from simple caprice he draws
upon himself the Divine anger, for
the curse of God,' said the prophet.

clothes to go with it.
Here at Newport one may see all
forms of the summer garments, from
the decidedly grotesque to the infinite
ly beautiful, and give illustrations of
some of those that come under the lat

informal reception given at the Bel
monts' a few days ago. Just one of
those little affairs that are sure to
bring out the most practical, rather
than the most elaborate, in the summer
toilettes.
One is bolero of tucked white mus
lin, edged with transparent insertions
of ficelle lace, and trimmed with rows
of lace on the sleeves. The sailor col
lar is of plain muslin edged with lace.
A decidedly new novelty is a little
coat made of point d'esprit, ornament
ed with appliques of string-colored lace
braid, from underneath which the net
is cut away, and the collar, revers and
little pointed basque are trimmed in
the same style. The sleeve is in the
new bell shape scalloped out at the
edge, and this smart little garment can
be worn over blouse of any color.
The pretty unlined blouse of printed
French muslin has deep sailor collar
edged with Arabian lace in that pretty
shade of string color which looks so
well with bright shades of mauve, pink
and blue, especially when there is a

embroidery appears on the blouse and

combination is sure to have a whole

some notion of how it is carried out

Frozen Sheen

A miner who has just returned from
4 SIX months tour in North Alaska
states that while in the mountains
some distance from Dawson City he
and his servants found a flock of noun
tam sheer. frozen in the ice. This was
at height of 5000 feet above sea level.
The explanation given is that the flock
was caught by a particularly severe
winter blizzard while crossing over
the dome. On the appearance of the
snow the sheep must have huddled to-
gether and persisted, the sleet forming
an icy coat around them. Those por-
tons OF the bodies which projected
above the ice were deyoured by bears
and wOlves.-Cincinnan ENQUIRER.

.sMUGGLERs USE SKI STICKS.
Ingenious Method of Bringing
Whisky In Over the Cana
dian Line.

Of the hundreds of farm and house
hold utensils which the Swedish set
tiers brought to Maine when they came
here, more than 25 years ago, every
one has disappeared except the grace
full and handy ski. The wooden shoes
lasted until they wore out and cheer
fully gave place to cowhide boots. The
wooden plows were converted into fire.
wood as soon as steel plows could be
purchased, but the skis stayed and
multiplied many fold, until to-day they
are as common among the Yankee res
idents as they are with the immigrants,
says the New York Sun.
Little change has been made in the
shape of the ski, although the ski stick,
formerly a cudgel of hard wood with
a knob at one end for the purpose of
steering the ski over the drifts, has
undergone great improvement. 1t is
no longer a stick except in name, for it
is made of metal pipe, while the termi-
nal knob is hollow ball of polishe
brass. The improved stick is not only
sitter and more seryiceable than it's
wooden predecessor, but it weighs less
and is more relia BILE a critical times.
Until two years ago the ski sticks of
brass and steel were not common be-
yond the Swedish settlements, where
every woman and child travels by ski
so long as the snow is on the ground.
In 1899 the new sticks began to be
seen in Houlton, Fort Fairfield and
other villages along the Canadian line
1t was also noticed that as metal ski
sticks became more plentiful, the price
of good whisky grew less, and there
was more of the liquor offered for
sale. AS the revenues did not increase
in proportion to the sales, the custom
house officials made few trips to the
places where liquor was sold across
the line and learned of a new device
for smuggling.
The metal ski sticks are hollow, the
inside of the large ones holding nearly
a gallon. By fitting screw to the
top of the stick the latter could be
made to carry whisky in safety. As
soon the invention was made, ski
parties became very popular among
the men, who spent portions of their
time around the hotels and restau-
rants. 1t became a custom for par
ties of five or six to make a trip over
the boundary line in the morning.
Stopping at a saloon to quench their
thirst, they filled their sticks with red
liquor and came home much refreshed
from their healthful exercise in the
open air.
Meantime the price of liquor had
gone down until the drummers who
came up from Boston, refused to COM
pete with the goods that were import
ed, and an investigation was started.
When the first snow fell this year the
revenue officers were on hand and con-
fiscated the loaded sticks. since which
line the ski parties have not been sc
