Now that politics lias beumi to assume sumo tanuihlo form throueh uti the state it is also appearing in the student body. The students as a rule do nnl enter or take any Irn pnrtant part in sucli alTairs before tho regular canclldates have been named by their resuective parties However, when a manwho has been, at some time or other, connect en with this university is mentioned for a prominent ofllce, they use their influence in his favor. Especially when tho man so men tlonen is a member of our faculty, the student Interest Is itensified. The mention a few days ago in the" city papers or Hon. H. H. Wilson as a desirable candlnato for p.over'uor has set many or the students, especi ally tho law striirlents to work in Is behair. While Mr. Wilson has not yet announced himself as a candidato ror this ofllce his friends aro very activo In Jjjioir desire to secure his nomina tion.

To tho collection of "Grimes of All Nations" deposited In tho Mu seums of tho UnlTorsltv of Ponnsyl Tanla, has rccontly been added a num ber of tho most popular games played by tho people of tho PillpDlnos. Judg ing from theho exlbits. the panics played by the Filipinos do not differ much from those of more cultivated nations, althouuh some of them may havo had their origin In eastern countries. Among the exhibits nnd uames most commonly used by tho uatlres for uambllng is that known as "Putl-puli-itim, ' which is a dice game consisting of two wooden dice, each marked with a single dot on each face, two red. two white, and two black. The players lay their stakes on a cardboard with three divisions, marked red, blue and black respectively, the player putting tho monoy on tho division selected by him. Thedlco are thrown and If tho colored spot of the dice turns up on tho colored dl Msion plaved, tho player receives double the amount he bet; and if two spots of the same color drop on tho division of tho satm; color, the plaver gets four times tho amount ho bet. Another gamo equally popular among the Filipinos is one known as "Damn," which consists of a small wooden table inscribed with a dia gram similar to a checker board. A lottery known as "Rlpa." is also a favorite among the natives of the more thickly populated district. Tho paraphernalia for this game Is a little more complicated than the others, consisting of forty little wooden hemispheres, each contain ing a number corresponding with the numbers on forty cards. These cards aro sold to players, tho hemis pheres aro deposited in a laro oottle and thrown out one by one and tl 0 playor whoso card number is first thrown out twicewins the pot. One of the most curious of the I'hllipDino exhibits at tho Museum is a largo boat-shaped log of wood containing fourteen holes, in each ono of which there are seven shells. Tho gamo Is thought to be of Arabic origin and is rather complicated. Another exhibit closely resembles our 111 odor n pool ana billiard tables and nails, ana is played not unlike our own game. Tho collection Includes numerous ither interesting ana novel games. among wich may bo mentioned "pungitan," a game of shooting with a shell at a smaller shell placed in a ring; "tabita,"a board gamo, playea with a diagram and a disk, which is flipped In the air" cara cruz" and "biraohapa," head-and-tall games: "prlnmola," played with a hexagonal top dio, spun in a saucer, and a card with six divisions; "tapan," aboard gamo, in which six round pieces of wood form tho men; "oapona," which consists in counting off small sholls in fours and bottlng on tho remainder and Is identlfiea with the Chinese game of fan-tan; "ohabiqul." a lot tery game, played with a woodon tablet with painted numbors from ono to twelve, ancTaborresponaing number of numbered oaras; "Ian so," a puzzle gamo made of bamboo and a football mado of rat tan Is also among tho collection: tho game, hoover, as played by tho Filipinos does not rosemblo the groat American college sport.
