Reproduction of Ancient Wall
The approach to the government
Philippine reservation leads over the
bridge of Spain, which forms the main
entrance to the grounds and brings the
visitor at once to the gates of the
Walled City. This is a reproduction Of
the wall which surrounds the city Of
Manila, dating from the sixteenth CEN
tury. Passing through the Walled City
and out the Anda Gate, the visitor faces
the Anda monument, stately column
which stands at the end of the Malecon
erected in honor Of Simon de Anda, the
first to govern the Philippines after
the British released them.
Passing up the inclined part to-
wards the southwest we enter upon
the Plaza Santa Cruz, upon which is the
Ayuntamento, the Cathedral, the Com
merce building, and a typical Manila
examples of the better class of Manila
construction. Continuing south from
the government building the visitor de-
scendS the hill and reaches the entrance
Of the stockade which surrounds the
Igorrote village.
Perched upon the bamboo rails be-
side the main entrance are two naked
hunters, whose copper-Colored nudity
Startles even the visitor expectant Of
surprises. Most visitors are drawn by
their interest through the gates for
further investigation of the savage
band in undress uniform, whose ap-
pearance, instead of repelling, seems to
attract the attention and interest even
of the weaker sex, who daily visit the
village in throngs. Strict adherence to
the customs of the Bontoc Igorrotes is
policy Of Gov. Hunt, in charge Of the
village.
Like the Chinese
About month after their arrival two
of the Igorrotes succumbed to pneu-
monia, and supposedly were buried
within the grounds. 1t develops, how
ever, that the two bodies are preserved
in a vault and will be returned to their
native island for burial, in accordance
with the natural desire of every Fill
Pine to be so inferred. Confined as
these savages are within the limits OF
the StOckade, never permitted to go
outside their sources of amusement
and pleasure are necessarily much re-
stricted.
The whole village, however, was
wildly excited the other night upon dis
covering squirrel in the tree tops, and
the heaG-hunting natives were soon
swarming about the trees in pursuit,
with an activity that rivaled even that
of the squirrel itself AS there are no
squirrels in the Philippines, this hunt
was a novel experience to the shriek-
ing, pushing, excited crowd. The
squirrel was finally captured, and
feature of the next mornings breakfast
was squirrel soup "a la Igorrote," for
which the demand far exceeded the
supply.

A BURGLAR IN HIS SLEEP.
Tho Queer Somnambulistic Feat Of
an Albany, Mo-, Lad.

an Albany, Mo-, Lad.
Albany, Mo-, May 13.-In a somnam-
buEstic state Hardin Hughes, the 20
year-old son Of the Rev. Mr.. Hughes, a
Baptist minister, left his bedroom and
went upon a tour at o'clock in the
morning. The Hughes home is four
blocks from the postoffice. Rev. Mr..
Hughes was awakened by his son, who
informed him that he had been walking
in his sleep and had found himself at
the postoffice when he awakened. The
father found the son dressed In odd
garments belonging to others. He
went with the son TO the poStofface and
saw where the midnight walker had
gained entrance in the front door.
They then went at once to the post
master and asked him to see what
damage had been done.
When daylight came 1t was revealed
that the somnambuliet had risen In his
sleep. secured a brace and bit gone to
the postoffice, and, securing a box,
climbed up high enough to bore thru the
door two holes that released the plate
glass. Then entering, he Went to the
delivery window, climbed eight feet
office and bored three holes into the
cash drawer, which he should have
reason to believe did not contain any
thing except small change used in
stamp sales He could have pried 1t
open with a jackknife.
The young man awakened While
working on the drawer and at once re-
tired and told his father all. Not a
penny was taken and nothing was mo-
Tested In the store and newsstand thru
which he passed In his journey.
Young Hughes has an excellent repu-
tation for honesty and worthiness by
those who know him. His mania for
sleep walking has grown on him since
his childhood days. He is student in
Northwest Missouri college A govern
ment official happened to be here at
the time and will, OF course, take steps
to present the case to the courts, as
such excuses for tampening with post
office property will need d more conn
plete explanation.
In the quite hours of a dark, rainy
morning not a person saw young
Hughes on his tour and had he not re-
yealed the fact there would have been
no evidence, or even supicion, that he
had committed a crime.

THE BANANA.
Fruit Tint Ripcns on the Plant II
Not Suitable For Food.

There is vast amount of ignorance
prevailing among intelligent people OF
the north concerning the growth, pro-
duction and marketing Of bananas
Many people imagine that the natives
In tropical climes step out Of their huts
In the curly morning and pluck and
eat bananas from the plant, the Same
as they would oranges and other fruits.
Bananas ripened on the plant are not
the same us the pith which is found in
the northern cornstalk or elder. b.
nanas sold in the United States, even
after travelling 5000 miles In q green
state, are every bit as good as bananas
ripened under tropical sun. This is
probably true of no other export fruit.
The plant Of which bananas is the
fruit is not a tree, nor is it bush or
vine. 1t is simply gigantic plant,
growing 10 height of from fifteen to
twenty feet. About eighteen feet from
the ground the leaves, ofttimes eight
feet long, come out in short cluster,
from tho center of which springs a
bunch OF bananas. These do not grow
with the bananas pointing upward nat
urally, and IL the stem grew straight
they would hang exactly as seen in
the fruit stores and grocers' windows
This, however, is not the case. The
stem bends under the weight of the
fruit, ard this brings 1t into directly
the opposite direction, with the large
end of the stalk up and the fringes
pointing toward the sun.
A word of explanation concerning
some banana terms. Each banana Is
called finger" and each of these lit
tie clusters Of fingers surrounding
stalk is called '.hand" The quality
and value Of each bunch depend on the
number of hands it has. Some may
wonder how the fruit Is cut from the
top of NJ plant fifteen feet from the
ground. The native laborers cut the
stalk part way up Its height The
y-eight Of the fruit causes the stalk
to slowly bend over until the bunch
Of bananas first nicely reaches the
ground; then the bunch is cut off with
the ever ready machete and carried
to the river or railroad for shipment.
The plant at the same time Is cut
close to the ground. The banana Is a
very prolific producer of itself, and
at every cleaning OF the land 1t is
necessary to cut down many OF the
Young llants, or suckers" as they are
termed, in order that they may not
become oyercrowded up to certain
limit. The fewer suckers on given
area the larger the fruit they will pro-
