Gladstone as a Patient.

He had an accident one winter Going
up the icy steps leading from Downing
street into St. James park, he slipped, fell
and struck the top of his head on the step
above with some violence. The head was
badly cut. He was kept in bed for ten
days. Soon after l met him at party
and asked about the accident and his re-
oovery. To the last there was always q
youthful buoyancy in him which at times
seemed almost boyish. Down he went on
his knees, crying out, ''You can sec the
scar noWl" And there it was, an ugly.
looking scar enough, though the wound
had healed, as a wound can heal only
when the flesh is perfectly healthy.
But the cut was nothing" he went on.

be q slight conoussion Of the brain. He
has kept me in bed all these ten days.

EARTHQUAKE OR TYPHooN.

Houses In Manila Must Be Built to Re-
sist Ono or tho Other.
Mr.. Wallace Cumming in the August
Century describes Life In Manila" MI.
Cumming says:
The better houses differ in some ways
from any other in the world. Always Of
two stories, there is a high stone base
ment, with q carriageway through to the
court, where are the servants quarters
and domestic Offices. The upper story Is
In case Of an earthquake it will settle to-
gether. The ceilings are covered with
cloth instead of plaster. A wide stairway
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 which are set small squares Of
oyster shells (oalled "conchas''). Both
blinds and conchas run the full length Of
each side. Either or both can be closed at
the same time, and both can be slid back
to the width Of one at each end, leaving
the whole side open and allowing the air
to circulate as freely as in a shed. The
roofs were formerly made of heavy curved
tiles. Now galvanized iron is used, as 1t
vastly decreases the chance of the roof
falling during an earthquake and lessons
the damage If 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 bamboo,
with thatched roofs made of the leaf of the
nipa palm and elevated from six to ten
feet on bamboo poles. When one builds a
house in Manila, it is necessary to decide
whether to make it safe from earthquake
or typhoon. The frail nipa house may
swing like ship in a heavy sea during an
earthquake, but is perfectly safe, while the
tile or iron roof may fall, killing and de-
stroying everything near it. But when
the typhoon comes the nipa houses go
down by the hundreds, while the tile and
iron rooted ones suffer little
