NATIVES OF LUZON ISLAND Seven Different Tribes Inhabit This Land and Retain Ancient Customs. Manila, P. 1.—There are many strange, uncivilized people among the Asiatic-Americans of the Philippine is lands. The wild men of the great is land of Luzon may be divided into seven different tribes, known as the Uongots, lfugaos, Bcntoe-Igorots, Le panto-Igorots, Kr.lingas, Tingians and Negritos. These people have not yet felt the influence of civilization, and retain their ancient customs, dress and manner of living. They can be reached only by a long horseback jour ney through mountains which, on the western slopes, are covered with ✓-N. Oopyri^tt, Indiiwoud & I'ml^nriiud. N. Y. Typical Tingian House. tropical jungle, and. on the eastern, with open pine forests. The five ar ticles of greatest demand among these savages are salt, matches, beads, red or blue cloth and brass wire: but look ing glasses, small bells, sea shells and white horsehair are also greatly prized by them. For these things they will exchange chickens, eggs, eamotes ta sort of native sweet potato) and rice, their principal products. The Tingians are a very uncouth tribe of savages. Their head women have their arms completely covered with strings of beads, wound so as to form beautiful and striking designs. A long, heavy string of beads is also twisted around the hair and hangs down the back like braid. The skirt of these head women is white, with a blue border, and the waist is of light yellow. They smoke pipes of solid silver, ornamented with bangles, in the bowls of which pieces of cigar are inserted. The typical young Tingian chieftain wears a stiff collar of beads and gay ly colored calico shirt, over which is a sort of scarf trimmed with many silver coins. The members of this tribe are very fond of silver. .. They make a large number of finger rings from silver coins, and each man usu ally has from five to ten of these rings about his person, but not nec essarily on his fingers. The Tingians are fond of a pecul iar dance. The music is produced by beating with the palms of the hands on "gansas," or tom-toms. The danc ers, a man and a woman, with arms outstretched, circle about each oth :-T in a spiral, the man pursuing the woman with a quick, jerky step. As they approach the center of the spiral, he suddenly swoops upon her. when she always eludes him by suddenly darting out of his reach. The Kalingas, like all wild people, are extremely fond of ornamentation. *—Forrest Clark in Leslies Weekly. TAX PUT ON FEMALE CATS New Jersey Assemblymen Pass Meas ure That Hits Felines Without Dissent. Trenton. X. J.—By a superhuman effort and the aid of Speaker Mc Cran’s gavel, the New Jersey house passed Assemblyman Bresinger's bib' fixing a tax of a dollar a year upon female cats. The vote was 51 to 0, and the author of the measure was surprised and delighted. Every time the bill has come up for consideration heretofore the risibilities of the mem bers have beam aroused and a chorus of catcalls has set in. When this course was attempted Speaker Mc Cran said impressively, and with nr. sign of a smile: “The gentleman from Hudson has been a square sport and he is now entitled to a fair hearing. ’ Assemblyman Bresinger then made a speech in favor of his measure, fair- | ly bubbling with good humor but sticking to the principle of the meas ; tire and declaring with impressive elo- j quence that female cats as hunters of the insect-destroying birds were a menace and ought to be restrained by law. Moreover, he said, the cat has been found to be a dangerous dis seminator of contagious diseases and should be suppressed for that reason, if for no other. Assemblyman Simpson, also of Hud son, said the bill was not complete: that it ought to embrace all cats and not the females alone. He defended the cat as a destroyer of rats and mice, and said it should not be so re- j strained to such good work. Most ot j the members voted “No” on the roll I call, and Assembly Bresinger saw de feat for his bill, but all changed to “Yes” before the announcement was made. Gets Message 2.000 Miles Away.
