EARTHQUAKE OR TYPHooN.
Houses in Manila Must He Built to He- sist One or the Other-Those or
 Bamboo Preferred.

The better houses differ in some ways from any other in the world. Al ways of two stories, there is a high stone basement, with carriageway through the court, where are the servants quarters and domestic or fees. The upper story is of wood' De- ing complete n itself so that Tn ease of an earthquake it will settle to- gether The ceilings are covered With cloth instead of plaster. A wide stalr- way leads up from the carriageway' Between three and four feet above the floor of this story is wide window ledge with grooves running the whole length of every side. In these grooves slide blinds, and also frames in when are set small squares of oyster shelis (called "conchasD. Both blinds and conchas run the full length of each side. Either or both can be slid back to the width of one at each end leav- ing the whole side open, and allowing the air to circulate as freely as in shed. The roofs were formerly made of heavy curved tiles. Now galvanizeo iron is used, as it vastly decreases the chance of the roof falling during an earthquake, and lessens the damage II it does. On the other hand, the iron roof is much more likely to be blown off by the terrible typhoons.
 The native houses are built of oam- boo, with matched roofs made of the leaf of the nipa palm, and elevated from six to ten feet on bamboo poles. When one builds Q house in Manila IL is necessary to decide whether to make 1t safe from earthquake or tyPhoon. The frafl nipa house may swing ike a ship in heavy sea during en earth- quake. but is perfectly safe. while the

FASHIONS MIRROR.
AH which May Be Seen the Various Components of the Seasons
 Costumes.


 Tinted horse chestnut blossoms are very prettily worn on biege-colored beach hats of Milan braid trimmed with ficelle lace and brown satin rib bon.
 All shades of gray are to be used this year for walking and visiting dresses. Pawn tints and light brown are also popular. In brighter colors purple. nacelle blue and soufre ia deep or ange) are favorites.
 For children's wear organdie dresses are fashionable this season, and all dresses of sheer fabrics are extremely popular. Linen suits sell well, and there is an unabated demand for ging- ham and percale.
 Some of the most beautiful goods in the elegant outfits for the summer are the French and India muslins, and the daintiest sort of evening gowns, as well as those for dressy afternoon wear, are made of batiste, especially in lowered cream white with trim mings of cream lace. Some of the fashionably made gowns have the mus lin or batiste skirt hung over second one of plain organdie, the tint of the background of the dress fabric. The skirt is cut exactly like the outside one, and either plainly hemmed or finished with lace-edged ruffle. The silk underslip is worn beneath. This arrangement is followed when a very airy effect is desired. In other cases the silk slip alone is used.
 The shirt waist still continues to be worn with skirts of every matrial.
 The lawn shirt waists are pretty and dressy over silk or muslin waists of red, pink or blue.
 Belts of white leather and other shades with fancy buckles are much favored.
 For the early autumn there are shown some pretty Paquin coat mod els in silk or satin, slightly longer than the spring and summer shapes, cut either in continuous lengths from neck to hem or finished with applied basques. These coats are rounded on the fronts, buttoned on the left side, and then sloped away to show a full, slightly pouched blouse vest from be- low the bust to the belt.
 Plaid muslins are found in lovely combinations, such as pink and cream, apple green and white. and black and white. Two beautiful and uncommon designs recently seen were pale helio- trope with two shades of pink, and 8 deep yellow containing touch of or ange combined with cream.
 Leather belts are now universally worn. They are made with purse and satchel attachments and are both con venient and useful for bicyclists and travellers. The Boston bag Is still favorite for short trips, as it is light and commodious.
 Many of the pretty silk, crepe dc chine and yelling dresses are finished with three tiny frills of ribbon, lap ping each other, and gathered mod erately full. These frills, though not novelties, are newer than those made of the dress goods, and they are given a novel effect by the deft manner in which they are adjusted, and by the beauty of the various two-toned or ribbons used. If the frills are made bit too wide the effect is spoiled. They must not measure, all told, more than three inches; there fore, ribbons trifle over an inch wide are the proper selection.-Boston Budget.
