A unique feature of nearly all homes
and buildings in Manila is the use OF
tiny square panes OF translucent oyster
shells instead OF glass. Tie windows
measure on the average els feet long and
four feet wide and eoniain 260 of thes

to tell that he got the Swede drunk, and
while he was in that condition sold him
the claim and received the money. When
he soberered up and learnt what he had
done he went TO the authorities and tried
to have the sale annulled, but it was
too late. 1t was all the money he had,

year. OF coffee the expectation inereas-

pounds in 1895, to 5,499, 400 in 1897, and

all of the necessities OF life, aside from
