A Dress Pattern.

Frank C. Sngendorf, of the Eighth infantry, writing from Calamba, Luzon, of the capture of a mountain village and the search for arms, says: “I found a roll of paper carefully wrapped and tied. On seeing me unfold it, the native woman made frantic gestures up and down her front, which attracted the attention of the Maccabebe, who also came to see the result of the investigation. Carefully unrolling what I supposed tof be a valuable And, I spread out nothing less'than a Butterick dress pattern, with line* running up and down and every which way across the paper. The absurdity of a dress pattern in the hands of a Filipino woman brought from me a laugh which caused the Maccabebe to further examine it- After gazing intently at it for a moment he enlightened me with the faetthatthis was an important discovery, as it was an insurgent map of the island of Luzon."
