Educating the Filipinos

In the Philippine Islands BOO Amcri-
can and 6,ooo Filipino teachers are busy
educating nearly 100000 pupils of all
ages.
Mr.. Scott, chief clerk of the Philip
pine Board of Education, said few
days ago that 10 per cent of the popu-
lation Of the Philippines, nearly 100000,
now speak English, and that the Filipino
boy until he reaches the age of nineteen
is mentally superior to the American of
the same age, but there his superiority
ends, and our educational system has not
existed long enough to enable Us to de-
termine his capacity during the second
period of his mental development.
The Filipino boy is inferior physically
to the American boy at all stages, but
the girl of the islands, according to Mr..
Scott, though of small physique in early
wears, exceeds at the age of sixteen the
stature of the American girl, and is in
comparably superior to her native
brothers.
All the American teachers and 2oo OF
the Filipinos are paid by the insular gov
eminent. The others are paid by the
municipalities.

Oddities lii New York Life.

There is no other city In the world set
amid such varied aid beautiful SUIT
roundings as New York; no city with
such a pleasing prospect of land and
water within and on its borders. There
is a river teemihg with traffic that di-
vides it; picturesque stream on its
western line, backed by beetling pail
sades; mighty sound with green is
lands, abutting on it, high hills and slop
ing wales within view; broad, inviting
bay locked within its artns, and miles
of white sand going down to the sea,
where, beyond the breakers, there is an
open stretch of ocean reaching for 5000
miles to the continent of the south pole.
New York City has, ready for duty, in
the state militia, Io,367 men.
The coolest place of retirement this
weather in New York City is the Tombs,
where there are two hundred and nine
teen summer guests, twenty Of them be-
ing accused of murder and the remainder
of various other felonies.
During the last six months there have
sailed eastward from New York City
1858 passengers.
Out of every hundred persons in New
York City sixty-one are unmarried,
thirty-one married, five widowed and
three divorced.
During the last twelve months $4o,-

to New York City.
In New York City are about seven
hundred signs that read Matchmaker

FADS AND FANCIES.
BY M1NNA ScHArr CRAwFo.

The returning throngs of designers
and dressmakers fresh from their sum
ttier explorations through the smart shops
of Paris and London have brought over
some very practical new ideas in semi
fitting short and long coats that will be
hailed as welcome departure from the
tight-6tting styles of the past two years,
The return of the gored flare skirt,
which fits smoothly at hip and waist
and falls into voluminous folds at foot,
is also greeted with enthusiasm. The
circular skirt is very pretty in theory,
but its tendency to drag and dip at the
sides makes it ungraceful. In the new
skirts this sagging tendency is corrected
by means of cores and plaits which give
the new skirt the effect of being eiii-
panelled. Its numerous seams enable
the dressmaker TO utilize narrow IA
brics and secure the full effect of the
circular skirt without disfg1tring cfiss-
cross seams
Folds continue to be the favotite gar
nitute for skirts. These may be cut to
the exact shape of the skirt OF made OF
bias material, and are Usually lined with
ctiholihe. Great care must be exercised
to ctit the crinoline on true bias, other
wise dampness will cause it to pulp
and spoil the shape of the folds.

Pinless Chinese.

A member of the Chinese Legation,
clad in splendid pale and hued silks,
stood before the Casino at Newport.
"Pins," he said, cause untidy habits.
We have no pins in China The right
way to fasten things is with buttons and
buttonholes, or with loops and frogs.
To fasten things with pins is to make
use of an untidy makeshift. To employ
pins is to become lazy and slovenly
I'VE have no pins in China. Ger
tain foreign manufacturers shipped mil
lions of them to us in the past, but
we sent them back. We had no use for
them. We were too neat"

Butte and San Francisco Road.

A copy of the articles of incor-
poration of the San Francisco, Ida
no and Montana Railroad Com
pany was filed in the Office OF the
Recorder here yesterday. The
present indications denote that this
will not long be a paper railroad"
and that work will be begun on it
in the very near future; the first
section of it to be built from Boise
through Caldwell, across Snake
river near the mouth of Sucker
creek, up the canyon in Oregon
north of Cow Creek lakes, thence
into Nevada, passing down Willow
creek and on to Mason City and
Winnemucca. where it will make
connections with the Central Pa
ci6c, thereby shortening the dis
lance between Boise and San Fran
cisco by 600 miles. The road from
Boise to Butte. connecting with
transcontinental lines in the latter
city, will secure through eastern
connection with several routes; but
which of the roads is behind it can
only be at present surmised-prob-
ably the Hill interests because Mr..
Mason of Minneapolis is known to
be connected with Hill in other en-
terprises, and be is at the head of
the proposed S. F., l. & M. None
of the western roads will develop SO
vast an unoccupied territory as this,
or country more prolific in undevel-
oped resources. Silver City Mug
