 Trade in Manila is largely in the
 hands of the Chinese They are every
 where and handle everything from a ships anchor to a paper of pins They manufacture sugar and soap in large quantities We find them engaged in the cultivation and cleaning of rice, in tanning and in varied other industries. They are blacksmiths. carpenters. tink- CTS, chairmakers and indeed are en- gagged in Q myriad of other callings. Binondo Is full of Chinese, and the Rosario is lined with their diminutive. space saving shops Cse ey are up to all the tricks of trade and can live on an economic plan which no other people can approach As yet the Chinese have not invaded the EscOl4a. where the fine shops and stores are located.
 The native shop districts of Manila are the queerest places in the world In Honolulu there is to be seen on a very small scale what we see here in Manila in hundreds of streets. The quaint na- tive shops are really but little niches in the walls that line the streets. which are So narrow that they would not make an alley in an American town or city. They, however, contain quite an assort- ment of native goods, such as pima cloth. rude shoes or sandals. and coarse cloths. There are many native eating houses, where the customers are served like horses in a stall, and often many eat from the same dirty platter. All these native places have peculiar odOrs, which are entirely too strong for the nostrils of an American
 But then there are other shops about Manila in which one forgets all about those foul holes Out on the Calla de Iris, in the San Sebastian district, are to be seen some most interesting sights, and here are many palatial residences built in that picturesque style peculiar to MaMila- There are fine courts, and the upper stories, projecting over them, give the structures a decidedly oriental This district is not without 1 its flowers. for. while slrs Philippines are ! not noted for their floral products. there 1 are some very brilliant and beautiful 1 specimens to be seen here If the visitor | to Manila wishes to see a typical trop- 1 icsl place. he must not fail to visit the | San Miguel district, which lies along 1 the Pasig, adjoining San Sebastian.
 Probably the principal industry of . and the Philippines is the pro ! iuction of hemp. It is doubtful whether | many know that the famous Manila | hemp is nothing else than the fiber of a | species of banana Over 100, 900 tons of { this hemp are exported every year. It is needless to say that the methods of cul- tivation and preparation are still ex- Temely primitive.

Washington telegram says

A Washington telegram says: "The most expert pathologjst of the agricultural department, pr. ZWin- gle,is in Morocco on a mission which the department hopes will launch a new and profitable industry in the most arid sections of our southwest. It has been found that the date palms, with some irrigation, will grow as we'll in Arizona as in Arabia. Early Mormon settlers in the terri tory proved this many years ago, but the trees were not of the best variety and date growing never developed as an industry. pr. Zwingle is mak- ing a close study of the African date palm, selecting the very finest var ieties and those best adapted to our arid region. These young trees will be carefully shipped to Arizona, planted and cared for under the close supervision of the department experts" Col. F. c. Hatch made the first successful experiment. in the territory in the matter of date cul- ture on his ranch, where the Indian school is now located.
