Turn Night Into Day.

You might think it a hardship to
have to 60 to bed at eight o'clock in
the morning and sleep till shutdown,
but if you resided in Manila you
would find yourself out of fashion if
you lived any other way. There the
shopkeepers, officials and the popula-
ton generally rise at four o'clock in
the morning, transact business till
eight o'clock, and then retire to their
homes, pull down the blinds and sleep
till dusk. Then the stores are opened,
the places Of amusement begin to fill
with pleasure seekers, and the town
becomes lively, remaining so all night
long. The cause Of this, to us odd
mode of living, is that the days are SO
hot that they are intolerable out Of
doors.
