WILD TRIBE OF POETS.
Picturesque People That Are Found In
 the Philippines.

Among the wild tribes to be found in the Philippines are the Bogobos, the most picturesque people in the tropics. Their origin is unknown, and all sous of opinions have been expressed concerning them One tale told of them is that their first ances- tors were all poets and musicians, and that the dislike for the practical which is always noticeable among them has come down through the gen. erations.
 Those that have taught among the Bogobos say that given a song or a poem to learn and they will study and dream over it for hours, but give the Bogobo a problem in arithmetic and he immediately becomes i'll and wants to go home.
 Living at Santa Cruz, in the Davao district. is Miss Benedict, a Chicago university woman, who is collecting everything peculiar to the Bogobo.
 It has been found that the bead work done by them is quite like that of the American Indian, but there is no other likeness in the races be- yond that.

FAMiLYs SKIN TROUBLES.
Eczema, Heat Rash, and Scalp Alice tons Affliet Different Members,
 But Cuticura Cures Them.

My wife had eczema for five or six years. It was on her face and would come and go. Me thought we would give the Cutieura Remedies trial. We did so and she has never had a sign of eczema for four years. l myself used CuticuFa Soap and Cutieura Ointment some time ago for falling hair. I now have very heavy head of hair We used Cuticura Remedies for our baby, who was nearly bald when young. She has very nice hair now. She Is very fieshy. and we had so much trouble with heat that we would bathe her with Cuticura Soap and then apply Cuticura Ointment, 1t would dry the heat up so much quicker than any thing else. MT.

The Brioht Firstborn.

They were discussing the law of en- tail-the English law bequeathing the bulk of the family property to the eldest son
 There is 50 per cent. of logic in that law" said a physician. and if the family property went to the finstborn. whether son or daughter the law would contain loo per cent of logic. For the first born child is practically always the best-best i'll brain, in build. in beauty. in everything.
 Why is this SO? It is because mar ried people love one another more pro- foundly at the beginning than after ward; for love. like all things, grows old, grows weak, often dies.

Preposterous.

An aged Jersey farmer, visiting a circus for the first time. stood before the dromedarys cage, eyes popping and mouth agape at the strange beast within. The circus proper began and the crowds left for the main show, but still the old man stood before the cage in stunned silence, appraising every detail of the misshapen legs, the eloven hoofs, the pendulous upper lip and the curiously mounded back of the sleepy-eyed beast. Fifteen minutes passed. Then the farmer turned away and spat disgustedly.
 He'll There aint no such animal!" Everybody Magazine.

Revivino an Ancient Game.

One of the recent reyiyals is the ancient game of bowls, which now bids fair 10 take once again a leading place among the sports of Mesrie England. As a matter of fact. il is just as goed game today as il was in the time of Raleigh or in the remote Anglo Saxon times. From a medical point of view We have nothing but praise for this mos excellent of recreatons. It provides open air exercise and amuse- ment for old and young, it is admira bly fitted for many invalds. and above all it is one of the best of what may be called natural opiates.-Medieal Press.

and that such pictures as those of the
Virgin Mary Ornamented the walls OF
many schools.
Considering that it was between two
tires-the Jews on one hand and the per-
sons Of other religious faiths on the
other-and that both had to be satisfied,
the committee on elementary schools has
been slow in reaching a decision in the
matter. After weeks Of deliberation it's
members have finally hit upon Il plan
which they think will satisfy all con-
cerned
Taking up in turn the four objections
made by the Jews the plan of the COM
mittee members disposes of each. The
hymn question will be settled by not al
lowing any hymn Of a sectarian charac-
ter to be taught or sung The commit
tee realizes that orders prohibiting such
hymns have been issued to principals be-
fore without effect and has planned a
radical step to insure their enforcement
this time 1t has been declared that all
text books containing the hymns which
are open to question shall be dropped
from the list of text books used in the
schools, and that if necessary a special
song book shall be compiled.
Compositions dealing with subjects Of
a sectarian character will be absolutely
prohibited. Steps will be taken for the
enforcement Of this order. Readings
from no book except the Bible will be al
lowed, and when the Bible is read no
comments on the text will be permitted
This ruling was necessary because it was
discovered that Frank Harding, a Brook
lyn principal who was tried by the local
school board of his district on charges Of
attempting to proselyte to the Christian
faith Jewish pupils in his school, and
whose trial caused the present trouble,
was in the habit Of reading book called
''Gems Of WISDOM" containing passages
culled not alone from the Bible, but from

Compromise on Christ
mas in Public
Schools

When the Board of Education met on
Wednesday it was definitely settled
whether Christmas exercises shall be al
lowed henceforth in New York s public
schools It's committee on elementary
schools to which the question was re-
ferred for investigation, made a report.
1t recommended that the exercises con-
tinue, with some notifications.
Under the leadership of Albert Lucas
the Jews made a strong fight in the hOli-
days recently closed to have the holding
of Christmas exercises in the schools
abolished forever The committee on ele-
mentary schools gave the protestants a
hearing, but failed to report on the mat
ter before the Christmas holidays. Then
the rabbs and editors of newspapers on
the lower East Side eXhorted Jewish pa
rents to keep their children away from
school on the Monday before Christmas
as form of remonstrance. The result
was that between 10000 and 25,OOO pu-
pills, or one-t third Of the school popula-
ton in that section of the city, remained
at home.
What the Jews particularly objected
to were the hymns, compositions, decora-
tions and pictures used in the exercises.
They cOntended that hymns which told
of the birth of Jesus and similar subjects
were taught the children, and were sung
by them at the exercises that compost
tions which dwelt with distinctly rehg-
ious subjects of a sectarian character
were assigned to the pupils and were
read by them at the exercises; that deco
rations, such as Christmas trees, holly,
and mistletoe used at the exercises, were
suggestive of sectarian religious subjects,
