Manila is beautiful city, about the
size Of San Francisco. 1t is built on
both sides Of the River Passig, which
is nayigable to its source, says the
San Francisco Chronicle. Old Manila
lays on the left bank. Parts of the
masonic stone wall, which was
built around it 200 years ago, are still
visible, and some of the gates survive,
through which a stream of solemn
friars, grinning Chinese, resplendent
Spanish officials, beggars inr rags, pious
nuns, handsome seneras, gay native
girls, mestizos in uniform, natives in
breech-clouts, four-horse carriages,
two-wheel pony wagons and creal1ing
buffalo carts pour from morning till
night. The cathedral, monasteries
and government offices are in old
Manila; the business quarter. the for
eign shipping houses, the banks, stores
and custom house are in Binondo. on

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
Crippled the Speech of the
Statesman.

A certain member of the house of
representatives was called on not long
ago to deliver a few remarks to
gathering of Sunday-school scholars,
and he chose Determination" as the
theme of his discourse. Ranging along
among those characters in history
who have made themselves familiar by
their courage and resolution, he logi-
cally touched upon the career ofJulius
Caesar.
"And last" he said in an oratorical
fight, Julius Caesar, filed with the
spirit that leads men up to glory and
to everlasting fame, looked toward the
wonderful capital of his country sit
ting on her seven hills and from her
throne of beauty ruling the world.
He felt the pulses of his future great
ness throbbing in his coursing veins
and from his serried legions' front.
far to the north. he saw the path that
stretched from the tent door of the
plain commandeD of the Roman sol
diery to the golden steps of the inn
perial structure that crowned the
Capitoline hill. Then he gave the order
to march and the hosts swept shouting
forward until their course was
stopped by the rolling floods of the
mighty stream rushing resistlessly 10
the sea. Here Caesar halted. but for
an instant only. In that instant the
glorious visions of more glorious Rome

THE FIRST STEAM wARsHIP.

The first steamship constructed for

navy; and her destruction by the ex-

sign included an engine to throw hot

A MAIN CHANCE OF LIFE.
Some Interesting Results of n Caicu-
lation Upon the Percentage ut
Various Ages.

In the English Illustrated Magazine,
Mr.. J. Holt Schooling works out some
interesting results as regards the
chances Of males at ages 20, 80, 40, so,
60, 20, so and 90, living for ten years
more, 20 years more, 80 years more,
etc. For example, as regards 1000
men aged 20, o30 OF them "liye ten
years more" /. e., TO age 30; that is
"a per cent. live TO age 30 and six per
cent. do not, so the chance at age 20
to live to age 80 is not quite sixteen TO
one in favor of living Similarly, $50
out of 1000 "live 40 years more" i. e.,
to age GO, so that the odds in favor Of
a man aged 20 living to age co are 65
to "A, say five to four, in sporting
phrase. Again, as only ten out Of the
1000 live 20 years more, /. e., to age 90,
the chance of man aged 20 attaining
age 80 is only one in one hundred, or
odds Of ninety-nine to one against him.
As to the chances for men aged so,
40 per 1000 live ten years more, i. G.,
TO age GO; therefore, we may say the
chance Of a man aged so living to 60
- AS NntnAtQ ~ bAAo Va - " ~'f Va
about seven to two i'm favor of the man
aged so living ten years more. This
chance, favorable as it is, is of course
not nearly so great as the sixteen to
one chance in favor of a man aged 20
living to age 30 Glancing at men aged
70 we see that only 335 per 1000 live ten
years more, j. e.. TO age so; this means
that 81 per 100 live the ten years and
&C per 100 do not, so the chance at age
20 of man living to age so is repre-
sented by the odds of two TO one
against him. AS for men aged 90, of
1000 men alive at age 90, only four live
TO age 100. Thus at age 90, the chance
of living ten years is very small, il
being represented by the long odds OF
two hundred and forty-nine to one
against the man-quite an outside
chance.
