Americans of prominence In public affair ; who have vfelted Manila during the last ywir , have described the Filipino * as a trlbo or race of "Mml-Mvncet ) . " unclean and un couth , without a home life worthy of the name , or mental traits Indicative of mode rate civilization. Sometimes tho'e sweep ing characteriiatlons were qualified , but lu such a gingerly fashion an to leave the general condemnation unshaken. Yet they are not substantiated by Americans who have equal opportunities for observation and who have lived among the natives a longer time. In the holiday number of the Manila Freedom , an American publication , are several special articles descriptive of the home llfo of the Filipinos , their cus toms , hospitality , their love of music and the art * The writers ( urnlsh a true mir ror ci native life. It should not be n-.er.s- ured by the American standard , but when allowance IB made for environment and former conditions It will be seen that thu average native Is well grounded In the vir tues that promote happiness and content. rt'.liilno Home l.Ue. Sketching the homo life of thu Filipino * . Freedom says. "Tho home of the Filipino Is more than bin castle. It Is the place where the verv host In his nature comes to the surface. He Is not the same Individual that Is met with in the ordinary walks of life. "A visit to tJio homes of tha Filipino poor Impresses the visitor with the courtly man- ne ? in which the native can play the host. Hospitality of the highest order is at once proffered. The visitor is told that the house , the owner and his family are at his service. The women of the household bring food and the host produces cigarettes. H may be a dish of boiled rice , but it Is offered with that desire to please and entertain that can not be mistaken. "This trait in the Filipino character was taught and nurtured among them by the early missionaries , ami centuries have made It a'lmost a second nature. There Is no difference between the poor or rich In this particular. Their homca are always placed at the dlapcsal of the stranger , and there he feels that he Is welcome and can rest assured of protection as long as he wishes to remain. The writer can remember an experience at Santa Maria , in the province of Bulcaan. that Illustrates very strongly that even the desire to entertain poor arc permeated with tne tertain all strangers , and to what incon venience they will put themselves to with out any other motive than their desire to do the honors of the home It was during the campaign in that prov ince Ipst summer , and the rebels had been driven from that vicinity.

The old Filipino woman dlil not understand a word of Spanisn. out I finally . She secured made her understand my wants. cured the water , and then gave me a talk In Tagalog. of which I understood but a few words. She invited me to take a seat in the shade , and. as I was tired , I consented. She then disappeared. In about ten minutes she returneJ witu some boiled rice and a. native drink. I could not refuse to taste the food and the old lady seemed overjojed. I found out later In the day that she had gone and bor rowed the food from a neighbor , for she haJ . I w-as walk- not a bit to eat in the house. ins toward camp the next day when an old lady stepped up and asked for aim * . When she saw me she shrank back from "the" path as if ashamed. It was my Filipino friend of the day before. I had to force upon her and 1 accompanied her to a piece of money her shack. I made bold to search for food In the home , but failed to find the least sign of anything to eat. She had done the honora when perhaps she had not eaten anything herself for a day. The hour when the Filipino gathers his family around at meal time Is the most sacred of the day in the Filipino household. To disturb a Filipino while he Is eating la considered the very worst form. If the home is disturbed at this hour you are In vited to join them. It you refuse rudely It is ? a grave offense. They must be thanked as courteously as If it was the refusal for a prince's invitation to dine. No matter how- Important the errand , the visitor must wait until the family has finished Bating. Then the host will immediatein the most courteous and extravagant language , place his horae and himself and family at your disposal. This Is the custom among the very poorest classes. Around tinTable. . The native Is not particular regarding the outflttings of dining rooms. As a rule tht Industrial clauses have little use for chairs. When they dine a rude bench serves for a table and the family squats around on their "haunches" on the floor. The dishes are kept on separate plates and where plates are not used large banana leaves are sub- Btltuted. A bamboo cup contains the drink. They all dine freely with their hands lr the same dishes and pass the cup around from one to the other for a sup of the liquid. board Is a pleas , The scene at the Filipino ant one.

The people are not savage , al though a great number of them are barbaric , bu : whether In thu barbaric or clvlllzcvl state , the Filipino Is possessed of genius. In Negros one may hear the music of a svcct-ehorded instrument , and a stroller is Immediately brought to a halt at the. . sweet harmony of the sound. The Instrument Is ? Let us take a look at the manufacturer In his shop. He Is seated , cross-legged , under a cocoanut tn- > with the imphunwus of his tr.'idu about him a large bolo and a baby bolo that's all. His material several dozen of halved cocoanut shells , a pile of x\hat looks like fleecy , white firewood , a ball of hompcn string and a glue pot. Seeing you regarding him at his work , he will turn to you with a pleasant "May- ung a bl , senor' . ' ( "Good morning , sir" ) end continue at bis work. Let us watch him. Ho takes the cocoanut In hand , divider the shell to a nicety , smooths the edgw so that a rude straight edgt > may be moved freely back and forth over them , lays It nthlo and takes up a piece of the whfu < ftood , which is exceedingly soft and mushy. He hacks it a few minutes until thu bow takca a rough sh.ipe. He then lays Uiu larger bolo abide and the smaller one moves quickly over the roughened wood , curving ant' giving perfect shape to it. until In a miiiUte It is completed except for the ten- s.on screws. Taking a few of tha chips he pllo3 them on top of a smoldering heap of ashes over which his glue pot Is resting , reicoves the latter , and In the * shaving i places a pointed piece of steel with a wooden handli ? at one end. This is his drill , which I forgot to mention in the category of his tools. When It is red hot he quickly rciL'ovus It. and. bringing his muscular arm and shoulder Into play , burns the required holes for the screws. After several re- heatings of the Iron , he persplringly turns his attention to whittling the required screws , which are quickly in place. Xow comes the hardest part of the work to put the bate board in and attach the how- to the shells. A round , or sometimes square block of the white wood is at hand , and with his bolo he skillfully cuts off a thin slab , which he carefully cats and scrapes until It Is perfectly level and free from roughness of any sort. Laying it over the shell , he gets the exact periphery and chips and cuts until it is ready to put in place. A few more touches are given to the bow. When it fits snugly he lays it aside and makes a rude bridge , which is nothing more nor less than a llttlo blok with a very wide base , with the tipper edge quite thin , and which Is cut in such a manner | that strings may rest in the four Inter stices , through which the knotted ends can- 1 not. slip. All is now ready for the glue | pot. Stirring the lire a little , he waits j grively until the glue Is at the right consistency , then qulcKiy gums the base board in place , after which the bowl fol lows , then the bridge. Laying the all but complete instrument down , the ball of hemp is unrolled and he cuts four lengths therefrom , grimly knots the several ends , looks at tbo baseboard critically , then makes several small holes in It near the bridge- Then the strings are attached and , with a satisfied air , he commences to tune It. After several moments of this he suddenly astonishes mo by drawing forth from the crude little instrument chord after chord of sweet , wild music. ' "Tis finished , senor un'peco' " and the old workman Is highly gratified for the sum paid for the result of hib rude handiwork the gultanta. In Cebu regular guitars are made and are of much more finished workmanship , and anv kind of music can be plavcd on them which , with the guitarita of Xegros , In concert , make beautiful melody of the fan tastic Spanish and native airs of the islands.
