WILD TRIBE OF POETS.
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 sorts 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.
craiions.
Those that have taught among the
Bogobos say that given song or
poem to learn and they will study
and dream over II for hours. but give
the Dosobo n problem In arithmetic
and he Immediately becomes III and
wants TO 20 home.
Living Mt Santa Cruz. In the Davao
district. Is Miss Benedict. n Chicago
university woman. who Is collecting
everything peculiar to the Bogobo.
II has been found that the bead.
work done by them is quite like that
OF the American Indian. but there Ia
no other likeness In the races be.

GETTING RID OF mlLDew.
stain 10 Hard to Remove. But Il Can
Be Done.

Mildew is stain caused by linen
being put away damp. either from the
body or after washing. 1t is a true
mold. and. like all plhnts. requires
warmth and moisture for Its growth.
When this necessary moisture is fur.
nished by any cloth In warm place
the mildew grows upon the fibers. II
IL most difficult stain to remove
and requires great patience.
Stretch the stained part over hard.
firm surface and rub on as much as
will come with a piece OF soft. dry
rag. Rub In little salt and try II the
juice OF lemon will take It out.
The best way Is to wet the stains
thoroughly. rub them over with plenty
Of soap and then scrape chalk on the
place: put the article In the sun and
keep It Bprinkled with water: renew
the soap and the chalk and the wetting
from time to time and the stain will
come out: rinse well.
The sunlight kills the plant and
bleaches the fibers. Bleaching power
or javelle water may be tried In cases
OF advanced growth. but success can
not be assured. Handkerchiefs are es-
pecially liable to mildew.
Old mildew stains may be removed
by rubbing yellow soap on both sides
and afterward laying on very thick
starch which has been dampened: rub
in well and expose TO light and air.
II this does not prove efiectuai. boil

that this has weakening effect on
