 There are many queer things to he seen in native streets ft is a very easy matter for one tO lose himself on nearly any Of these streets Many 0f them have sgueer way of conihg to sudden end against some qnsint native building 5r gray old stone wall Thsre are mar EoW pavemsnts on both sides of nearly ell the native streets. and these are scarcely two feet wide. 50 thd pe1es- t-ian always wRIks under ths,overhang- ing second story of the buildings But most foreigners usnally take the middle of the street when they walk. which is vury seldom. owing to the cheap and efficient cab service
 The old city and the San Miguel dis trict, the fashionable district of New Manila. have some fine streets, but per hsps the most delightful, street af the entire city is the great th0rOaghfare which. under varions names. encircles the entire new city from near the Pasig around to fhe hav. This street cr--ot b. said ,c s- 4 s1cicr,--- ness for it is aI4ke tbe les..1 ,.f ths iowhest and the weslthiest. as it inter sects BiD0ndo. Tondo. Santa Cruz. San Sebastian and San Miguel
 One Of the most interesting institu- tions to be seen about Manila Is the mstadero or native slaughter house. where water buffaloes. horses and dogs are prepared for market This institu- ton is located in Binondo. near the railroad depot The building used as an aeattoir is about 800 feet long and over 100 feet wide On either side of the main room rows of rings are fastened Co the stone floor. and "a tbese the ami mAis are tied when the slaughter be- gins Above the rings and extending over tbe whole space of the ceiling are horizontal bars. with forks attached. to support the beef and other meat after they have been prepared for market During the day everything Is kept neat and clean, but it is not go st night The inclosures used as pens for the buffaloes. cattle and horses are turned into sleep ing apartments st night. and here the weary native laborers dream away their aleeping hours
 Most of the work ab0ut this estab- hshment is done in the early part of the night. and, entering the building ai 9 ?. m. amid the intense confusion one finds himself in a perfect babel of noise The 1atives running about talk ing loudly and gesticulating wildly. the cattle bellowing the horses whinnying and the pigs squoaling produce a very bedlsm. Occasionally the roar of a bull rising above the din and mingling with the chorus of weaker sounds adds to the already deafening noise. As the animals gre tied to the rings already mentioned, ]. this din gradually subsidies, and the nA l tives cease their outlsndish shouts for ] time. The beasts stand meekly awaiting their fate. Everything is made ready. . knives are sharpened. buckets prepared. I ropes secured. and all the men rest a minute until the gong sounds Instant. l ly the scene. which but a moment ago i was peacefnL is changed to the wilaes; ] disorder. Cows. buffalOes and. ponies ! drop on all sides The men, armed with 1 small axes or short spears. knock the I animals on the head or stab them at the I base Of the brain.
