PHILIPPINE woMEN's DRESS.

l Feminine Attire Which is Noted for its
 Gaudiness.
 1 A native Philippine woman, dressed for a gala day, presents strange con trast to her newly found sisters of the l far-off American cities. The tailor made girl would scarcely admire her, but she appeals to an artists love of picturesqueness and color. Her flowing skirt is of gay colors--bright red, green and white being the common choice. The length of train, and whether the garment be of cotton. silk or satin. re- bends on her means. Corsets are not yet in fashion, but a clemisette, which just covers her breast is in common use To this chemisette are added i'm mensely wide short sleeves. Her hair is brushed back from her forehead, with out parting, and coiled into a tight, flat chignon. In her hand she carries fan, without which she would feel lost. Her head is covered with white man tie of very thin material. Finally the toes of her naked feet are partly cov- cred by a kind of slipper. flat like a. shoe sole, with no heel and just enough upper to enable her to thrust two or three toes inside.
 So much for the Philippine women who live in Quality Street" On the other hand, a peasant woman going to market presents very different ap- pearance. She has no flowing gown, bue wears short skirt of cotton. This is covered by a rectangular piece of stuff; as a rule of blue, red or black. This outer garment is tucked in at the waist, drawn in very tightly round the Joins and hangs over the skirt q little below the knees The figure of a peas ant woman Is erect and stately, due to her habit from early girlhood of carry ing jars of water, baskets of fruit, etc, on her head.

THE POLICE CoMMISS1oNERs.
Officer LedwIth Reduced-DOnnelIy a
 Special Constable

Considerable business was done at the regular meeting of the board of police l commissioners last evening. All of the ! members of the board were present, I Patrolman Christopher Ledwith was tried before the beard for conduct un- | becoming an officer and he was reduced
 to grade E. He was charged with in~ toxication and he pleaded not guilty to Wilful intoxication. He said that his health had not been good of late and 1 substantiated this statement with a doctors/certiticate Sergeant Cook and Sergeant Crocker testified that Patrol man LedWith's record ever since he had
 become q member oe the force was Al and that never had a complaint been lodged against the accused officer. The commissioners decided to give LedWith another chance and he was reduced. He was in grade A and it will take four years for him to work up to the place he held previous to last night.
 Patrolman James E. Donnelly of the campus force presented his resignation to take effect March i, In this matter the civil service board presented a re- port recommending that Donnelly he made a special constable. The matter was referred to the committee on edi- ciency and they reported favorably Patrolman Donnelly was therefore ap- pointed a special constable, He will be on duty on the Yale campus, where he has served for the past seven years.
 Patrolman Benpamin Fl. Jackson was granted twenty eight days pay for the time he was off duty as a result of in" jurtes received while taking a prisoner to the lookup. Patrolman Philip Laut- enbachs claim for ten days pay for loss of duty was referred to the com mittee on finance.

up after midnight of that day and i sneaked into the field with his gun. He got within thirty yards of tremen- dous trampling which he could hear but not see
 Then there was a rush and a dim form rising over the fence. He shot at 1t and blew two holes in the night. Af- ter several other attempts to destroy his enemy, he settled into resignation. An Indian belonging to one of the ten tribes lost or scattered in the north woods happened along and was fed. Stiles told him about the buck and he took a look at the field.
 The trail on each side of the fence by this time was as plain as a wagon-road. The buck used the same place for en- trance because there the ground rose a little outside of the fence and was firm. The Indian seemed to have reard of such things before.
 He cut down an oak sapling and took from the trunk straight section four feet long and two inches through at the bigger end. He sharpened this end and draove it six inches into the ground just in the middle of the trail, making what Stiles calls a ''stob."
 The "stob" stood in the field five feet from the fence. The Indian sharpened it's upper end carefully, removed all shavings and went back to the house to get something more to eat.
 The next morning there was dried blood on the stake Dried blood was on the sorghum of the next worm of the fence; blood was on the ground outsiae' but no deer was in sight.
 The Indian found it, stone dead, in the woods a hundred rods away, with gaping wound inn the chest which had penetrated to the interior. The animal had actually recrossed the fence after receiving the hurt. The sign on the rider said that the second leap was short and the buck had hung for mo- ment. but had scrambled and fallen upon the further side.-New York Sun,

LEAP1NG POWER OF A BIG BUCK,
Proof of it's Ability to Get Over an
 Eight Foot Fence at a Bound.

Proof of it's Ability to Get Over an Eight Foot Fence at a Bound. Testimony to the extraordinary leap ing power of big buck is given on de- mand by John Stiles, a patient farmer who lives in the Manitowish chain re- zion of upper Wisconsin, Stiles falls" trees in winter at three dollars day and found. and thus gets money enough to pursue his farming quest in the summer. Owing to the lat itude his falling" time is long and his farming time is short. Thus he is lit tie ahead of the hounds.
 He owns q quarter section of cultiVa- ble land up there and last summer he put five acres of it into sorghum. He calculated that sorghum syrup would be in demand by bosses of the lumber camps.
 He cleared this five acres three years ago, blasted the stumps with borrowed dynamite and built around it a rail fence, ten rails high and staked and ridered This fence with the riders, was between eight and nine feet high.
 When sorghum was yard tall Stiles looked at it one morning and found that an eighth of an acre of it on the east side of the field had been ruined. An
 nconsiderabe portion had been eaten and the rest trampled down.
 He knew it to be the work of deer, but could not understand how the deer got in. The trail led to the fence, which was undisturbed, and began again out side.
 The take-Off and the landing on each side were marked by deep hoof inden- tations. The tracks were big enough to show a big deer It seemed incredible, however, that the jump could have been made.
 There was a full moon and Stiles lay out that night within twenty yards of the trail with shotgun loaded with buckshot About one o'clock in the morning he was rewarded by hearing a snort and crash in the undergrowth. The buck had winded him and was gone.
 He kept watch on three nights and the deer did not return. There was no trouble for two weeks.
 One morning another section of the sorghum had gone to smash. Stiles got
