better than those of Manila.
When Magellan, the first white man

landed in 1921, he found the natives
blowing up the soil with an outlandish
Quadruped called carabao. In Eng
lish it is the water buffalo, so called
because at uncertain intervals it is
seized with wild desire to rush into
the water and lie down, and at such
times all Tagalodom could not stop it.
If it had a CARLOAD of little black
babies behind it, into the water and
Under they would go too.
Well, to this day the carabao Is the
beast of burden in town and country
in the Philippines. In all Manila and
the region roundabout the only truck
or express wagon is a clumsy carabao
cart driven by a little Tagale or a
Chinaman. The Spaniards, who boast
grandiosely of their Christian civiliza-
ton in these islands, have actually TAX
en- SO little interest in the natives that
they have not replaced the carabao even
with oxen, whose flesh is good for food,
saying nothing Of the milk the cows
would have given. Picture to your.
self in the States a town Of 800, 900

cruel as it is clumsy.

that people of an energetic and hustlinA
race, like those of the United States or
of central or northern Europe, could and
would in few years turn these islands
into civilized paradise. They would
hire the heavy work done.
Now let us see what has been accom-.
plished.
Miguel Lopez de Legaspi, the first
Spanish governor, took possession of
Manila in 1871. There was already q
native town on the site. From that day
to this the Spanish governor general
has resided here. Manila has been the
seat and center of affairs military, civil,
religious and commercial ever since. It
has come to be city of 800. 900 inhabit.

richest countries on the globe, we
would expect to find the comfort, de-

can government, after settling the ma.
tives, must be to give the city com.

modern civilization. It may be. I hope
SO. have not been inside Of them. In
a strange place the most accurate idea
of things is obtained from studying the
average life Of the average people. The
ordinary Spanish house was no doubt
painted and decorated when it was
built, and that was the year mankind
first began to ask if it is hot enough for
you. It has not been touched since.
Houses are constructed with two low
stories. There cannot be more be-

must be kept free from rubbish, and
especially from decaying vegetables and
other foods Frequent cleaning ont the
corners and sweeping the walls are es-
sential. All kinds Of food, including
vegetables. should be kept from the
light. Jellies and canned fruits ought
to be stored in dark cupboards. Win
dows enough to air the cellar and
screens for all of them are essential. If
the sashes are opened at sunset and re-
main so until the next days heat, then
closed to keep in the fresh air. it will
be much cooler than if open all day.
But to remain closed continually is to
breed foulness and disease. Lime scat
tered in the corners will conduce to
keep the cellar free from mold. A damp
basement is disorder breeding spot.
The'refrigerator is too often pest
and menace. Few domestics or their
mistresses realize the importance of its
utter cleanliness. From observation the
writer is certain that four out of five
refrigerators are extremely unwhole-
some. Ice unrinsed is covered with half
fetid wooden cloths, the zinc Enclosure
is specifically cleansed, and in it are
set rank smelling foods while yet warm,
to contaminate milk, butter and other
eomestibles. Every second morning at
least all food should be taken ont and
the entire refrigerator, with its slides
and drain pipe, scalded with strong hot
soda water. When this is quickly fol-
lowed by a rinsing of cold water, the
packing will not be sufficiently warmed
to melt the ice. Milk and butter should
be set upon the bottom of the refriger-
ator, and nothing in the way of eata-
bles should be placed in the receptacle
devoted to the ice. If the latter be in
closed in paper outside Of the wooden
fabric (which needs semiweekly scald-
ine), it will melt more slowly than 9TH
erwise. A glass jar of drinking water
may be kept in the ice chamber, to be
used in place Of small glacier in the
pitcher.
In the kitchen (the boiler that fur
nishes steam for the household) cleanli-
ness, cleanliness and still cleanliness is
the watchword, above all times in mid.
summer. Every closet, corner, recepta-
Gle, sink, dish and cloth ought to be
kept immaculate. Constant must be the
warfare against dust, debris. dirt and
insects. In these days everything is
alive, and much of that life, spite of
the Hindoo belief, is inimical to human
welfare, remarks Good Housekeeping,

and timely paragraphs.
The End the Same,
New cures for old ailments are being
discovered every day, but people con-
tinue to die of the latter just the same.

The signs of the times Oh the indus

in the June number of the American
Monthly Review of Reviews. In the
