She'll wfudaws

From Our Animal Friends
Among the various and curious objects
brought from Manila by some of our re-
turning soldiers none excite more interest
than the delicate, plate-like shells called
ccnchas; not only because they belong To
the usually unattractive and rough-sheIIed
oyster family, but from the fact that shells
serve as windows in many of the buildings
in the Philippines
The shell is nearly round, about four
lnches IN diameter, compressed, and so thin
thtL IL is nearly transparent In appear-
aiice the interior of the shell resembles isin
glass, with opalescent tints, the exterior be-
ing slightly rough The animal is so ex-
ceedingly fiat that when the valves are
closed they apparently touch. This is prob
AMY the same species of molusk which is
known In China as the Chinese window
oyster, and which is used for windows
lanterns and similar purposes These in
genious people also powder the shell which
they use for silver in their water colors
Inc better class of houses in Manila have
wihuow frames which slide in grooves SO
as TO be opened or closed as desired. and
IN these are set the conehas, which soften
the bright tropical sun rays As further
protecuon against light and heat blinds
are USED which run In the grooves with the

From the London Daily Mail.
Pretty nearly every profession boasts a
vocabulary of its own. and the theatrical
profession is not the least boastful in this
matter There is neatness and directness
about the vocabulary of the stage which
does not characterize that of any other
institution
What, for instance. could be more direct
ly impressive of the volume of an evenings
audience or the receipts to accrue there
from than the phrase of playing to the.
gas?" 1t is used in the general sense in,
reference to small audiences, but strictly
it means that an audience was only large
enough to render receipts sufficient to paw
the bill for the evenings lighting.

regarding Hawaiian commerce in 1898:
A comparison of the annual report Of
