PHILIPPINES.

Since the American occupancy OF Ma
Mia. the Chinese have more rights and
privileges than ever before in the history
OF the islands. On this account there is
great race hatred prevalent. The Fiji
pinos have the idea that some day the
coolies will inaugurate a general slaugh-
ter to redress their old wrongs. This
perpetual animosity is an annoying thing
for the householder. Fights are frequent.
The contestants scald, puncture and shoot
one another, and rumors frequently
spread of an uprising. causing a doubling
of the guard in the town, and a general
order for all troops to sleep in their cloth
ing, their arms by their side.
Another thing which has to be consid-
cred in connection with the lives of the
civilian residents in Manila is the con-
tinual fear of a native uprising. Alarms
are frequent, and plots of the natives
for a general massacre of all Americans
are continually being reported. 1t has
been said: THE Americans in Manila
are living on the crust of a Volcano" 1t
is the base of the American army, the
great depot for all supplies, and the
temptation to the insurgents to start an
uprising in the town and destroy it can
l.
do, and most of the other districts, are
OF wood, and old and dry, and would
burn like finder.
ANY number of the insurgents may en-

the rebels are in Manila acting as SER

The rates of board at the hotels are from
50 to $40 day in Mexican money, and
the board is not good. The meals are
cooked by combined force of Filipinos

lently antagonistic, and quarrel whenever
they pass. The beds, the bottoms of
which are cane woven, are as hard as the
floor and as unyielding as railroad iron.
No blanket is furnished, and sometimes

Housekeeping in Manila, under present
conditions, is delusion and a snare.
House rent runs all the way from 500

to 81, and the beef is suspicious and ex-
pensive. Household furniture and kitch-

price. Good stoves are scarce, and gaso-

The Rat that Sailed.

A rat was caught alive on board
British naval vessel in a trap, and the
beast was thrown from the trap into
the water without being killed. A large
gull that was following in the wake
of the ship to pick up scraps of food
thrown overheard by the steward
swooped several times. endeavoring to
pick the rat up. Once the bird got toe
close to the rats jaws. and the beast
grabbed 1t by the neck. After a short
fight the rat succeeded in killing the
bird. When the gull was dead the rat
scrambled upon the birds body, and.
hosting one wing as a sail and using
the other as a rudder. succeeded In
steering for the shore. Whether the
rat reached the shore or not is the
question, since the ship soon got out

Even for this she was blamed.
Then the Empress, with her train
ing, which is in great measure En-
glish, set herself against some of the
customs of the Russian court. among
them that of ladies smoking cigarettes,
and brought down upon her the dislike
of the court circles. To still further
aggravate her situation she is disliked
by the Dowager Empress and not too
dearly loved by her husband. Natur-
ally, under such circumstances, the life
or the Empress has been made miser-
able, and her face, once so full of beau
ty and sprightliness, is now clouded
and marked with care. She has at
tanned an exalted rank among the
rulers of the world, but she has paid
for it the price of her minds peace and
her hearts happiness.

Photographic Criminals.

The right to photograph criminals in
order to place their pictures in the
rouges' gallery has often been ques-
toned. The prevailing opinion among
writer's who have discussed the sub
ject seem to be that the power may
properly be exercised over persons who
have been convicted of crime, but that
its exercise is of very doubtful legality
in the case of one who is merely ac-
cused of a criminal offense. but not
yet adjudged guilty. In an application
for writ of mandamus TO compel the
police commissioners of this city to
remove the picture of a convict from
the rogues' gallery, Justice Truax has
recently held that the fact that the
petitioner had been convicted OF as

Good Sponges.

Although the difference between a
good and bad sponge is very marked,
but few people seem able to appreciate
1t. The first requisite of good sponge
is that it should be dark in color. The
beautiful yellow sponges commonly
seen in druggists windows are a de-
fusion and snare. The natural color
is a light to medium brown, and the
yellow sponges have been bleached by
vitriol bath. which destroys their
elasticity and makes them wear out
much sooner.

AN UNHAPPY EMPRESS.
The Life of the Russian Czarina IL One
Filled with Cares.


Beauty and position do not always
bring happiness, else there would be
few more joyful women in the world
than the Empress of Russia. Instead
of being happy, however. this exalted
and beautiful woman leads one of the
saddest lives imaginable, and the years
that should be full of pleasures and
joys are crowded with cares.
Before her marriage the Empress Of
Russia was the Princess Alix of Hesse,
granddaughter of Queen Victoria. She
was a Protestant and in order that she
might become the Czarina OF Russia
she changed her religion and became a
member of the orthodox church, of
which her husband is the head. This
brought down upon her the dislike of
the great cleric, Pobiedonostzev, who
naturally favors the orthodox, perse-
cutes the unorthodox and who wishes
