The outlet of Bay lake is the River
Pasig. on which is situated Manila, with
its magnificent bay, 120 miles IN CIR
conference On one bank OF the river
are the Spanish and military quarters
bounded on the one side by the sea ana
on the other by a great PLAIN, where
the troops are exercised and which is
the resort of Manila fashion during the
cool of the evening. In the suburb OIL
Badongo, across the river, are doInl-
ciled the foreigners and the half-oreeus,
some Of whom are rich enough TO ma
entrance into the exclusive Spanish So
ciety. Travellers dwell upon the peau-
ty Of the half-breed woman, and they
appear to have made a complete con-
quest of the sensitive hearts Of the MD
dies of the navy who visited Manila
quarter of a century ago and whose eX-
periences were recorded by one of their
number in Scribner's Magazine for Au-
gust, 1875. This particular MILDLY tells
us Of his fascinating experiences IN
making love in Spanish experiences,
we fear, not likely to be repeated by
the officers Of Admiral Dewey's squad
ron, for the present, at least, though
certainly 1.-THE brave deserve the fair.
For an island lying so near to the
equator the climate of Manila is very
temperate, the power OF the tropical sun
being in a measure moderated by the
moist atmosphere, the mountains and
the immense forests that cover SO large
a portion of the island. Violent rains
are common from June to November
and disastrous foundations are the re-
suit Sir John Browning records the
maximum fall of rain at Manila as la
inches in 1853. The average of rainy
days recorded for the years 1881, 1882
and 1883 was 203 The temperature va
ries but slightly-its average in Luzon
is 81 degrees. On this island numer-
Gus limpid streams flow from the noun
tains through the plain into Bay lake,
refreshing the vegetation by the way
and furnishing luxurious pasturage for
great herds of cattle. Within Bay lake
is another circular lake league in cir
conference, surrounded by ring Of
high land. In this smaller lake water
fowl abound. Boiling springs are found
at Los Banos at the foot of tall noun

WOMEN AS NAIL DRIVERS.
Their Failure In Such Work is Easily
Explained.


DR.. I. N. Love. st. Louis physician, says
the ST. Louis Pcst-Dispatch, expresses his
sentiments regarding women as nail drivers
as follows:
Mature never intended that women
should drive nails. but that they should
have husbands to attend to such work for
them. Women are to be housekeapers. rot
house builders. They are too emotional.
That is why, as rule, they are deficient in
all things mechanical. When n woman is
of a math NAUTICAL turn of mind, it is an
argument that her brain is more masculine
than feminine
Woman is anything but practical. From
direction. For this reason it is rarely we
g1eat effort or probable injury to herseIf
Tie attempt almost invariably ends in a
bruised finger. The very fact that she cam
not drive nail is prima facie evidence that
she Is a womanly woman.
Man can acquire the ability to adapt
himself to any condition by which he may
be confronted. Most women, believe, are
deficient in this respect, but there is no
telling what energies. mental and physical,
she might not bring to bear in case OF
emergency. if she were thrown wholly
upon her own resources.
But one thing is certain. Whatever may
ccme, woman will never be able to adapt
herself to conditions gracefully as man.
She must be able to control her emotional
centers and the power of con troll does not
rest entirely with her intellectual self 1t
is something higher-something which can
hardly be explained.

that he had no property except his wearing

diamond stud was not an article of wearing
apparel and asked for its surrender but the
judge ruled that the diamond button held

the person.
Then the lawyer urged that the shirt was
new kind that buttoned in the back, but
the judge met this by saying: The pre-
sumption of the law is that shirts button

know that shirts ever button in the back.
The court will not require the defendant to
submit to an examination to rebut the pre-
sumption. And SO the diamond remained

THE McKINLEYs OF IRELAND.
The Irish Ancestor of the Pre.tder.
for Whom He Was Named

Rev. George w. Pepper of Cleveland.
father of Charles NJ. Pepper, The Stars
cuban correspondent, delivered an address
at the celebration of the Emmet anniver-
sary in Hartford recently in which ne re-
ferred to the ancestors of President Me-
kinley. Mr.. Pepper was born in the sec
uon OF Ireland in which they lived and
Knew all the facts. After paying passing
tributes to number of Irish patriots. Mr.
Pepper said:
Wiiiiam Mckinley, VINO dedicated his youth
and manhood to the cause of Ireland. In
ms fresh and radiant youth he took the
OF the companies. He plunged into the red
sea of war and fought and fought most
gallantly, for his country. He was tall and
handsome, with so much frankness and
vivacity in his nature that everybody loved
him. Two of his uncles, because of their
hatred of oppression, had emigrated to the
United States, and from one of these uncles
the distinguished occupant of the presiden-
tial chair has descended, and the lofty
deeds of his patriotic namesake and rela-
tives are among the brightest glories treas
ured by the McKinleys of Ireland-the
sweet remembrance that one of their num-
Der gave his life to make Ireland one of
the commonwealths Of the world. Captain
Mckinley was arrested and hung and his
heaG was seen suspended from a public
building in Dervock. The patriot was
buried in Derrykigan churchyard and for
years pilgrimages were made to his honored
grave

French Playing Cards.


The French authorities take almost as
elaborate precautions in the manufacture
of playing cards as the United States does
in the production of bank notes. To be-
gin with. the importation Of the article
Is strictly prohibited, and the industry is
submitted to so many special laws and
folmalities that the home manufacture is
in very few hands. Each playing card
Is combination of three kinds of paper.

WI ich the indication of the suit is printed,
Is specially made by the government which
supplies 1t to the manufacturers.
II IS nne, water-marked paper and

the plates for the court cards and for the
ace OF clubs are the exclusive property of
the government, which delivers them al
ready printed, to be colored by tn. manu-
faeturer. Having finished his cards the
maker puts his name and address on each
pack and sends it back to the authorities,
who put special label around it and
ticket 1t with the government stamp. The
manufacturers part consists in coloring
the device Of the court cards and of the
ace of clubs, in printing and coloring the
other cards on water-marked paper sold
by the state. and in glazing, cutting and
pasting together the three papers that
go to form the card.

went into the service of the United States
they would be required to go beyond the
state line in case the enemy should be
driven back or should go on into another
state. This refusal on their part caused
much trouble, and the Question arose as to
whether they should pc forced to enter
The United States service. But Mr.. Lin
coin, to avoid the danger of a fight of
that kind in his own army, proposed
compromise. to the effect that the gov
ernor make a call Of his own for militia
and that these troublesome militiamen en-
ter the state service under that call This
was done, the governors call being issued
on the 26th Of JUre, 1863. They served in
the state service about one month, during
which time some Of them fought in the
battle of Gettysburg, and then We're dis
charged and allowed tOc go home without
entering the United States service at all.
The authorities of the federal government
could not pay them or defray the expense
of the organizations without special 1egis-
lation, because they were in the service OF
the state and not of fthe federal govern
ment.4 All this expense consequently fell
cRtoi the, state, the pay alone amounting to
nearly 100000. The state was afterward
paid this amount by the United States, un-
der an act passed for its relief, and is still
trying to get the interest on the same,
over $4,000. Many of the militiamen have
had no end Of trouble about their pen
sions, &c.
A Reason for Doubt.
In view OF this positive reruSl OF MILL
tia, composed Of loyal citizens of a loyal
state, to enter the service Of the United
States on call of the President "a thing
ttey were under legal obligation to do)
when their state was being invaded and
overrun by the eremy, oae feels inclined
to doubt the ctrrectness of the opinion
recently expressed by many governors and
adjutant generals of militia that their
militia would not question the Presidents
authority to send them to Spain or to Gu
ba II he should order them there. When
the pinch comes 1t is possible that many
thousands of individuals would fall back
on their constitutional right to remain
within the territory of the United States
as long as they remained merely state
militia called into the service of the United
States, and, of course, that would demoral-
ize any army largely composed OF them.
The District Militia.
II do not think the militia of the District
of Columbia is on any different footing
from that of the militia of the states and
territories in respect to anything l have
said. l have not Tade a special study OF
the District militia, but it seems to me
to be merely a kind Of state militia, such
as is the militia of the organized terri
tories of the United States. The militia
Of the territories has always been treated
as state militia in every respect, notwith-
standing Congress has exclusive jurisdic-
ton over the country composing the terri
tories, the same as over the District OF
Columbia, and the territorial governments,
like the government Of the District Of Co
lumbia. are creatures of Congress.
