A FlRE.ENGiNE IN MANILA.
Powerful Machine Made n Decided Sen.
sation About the Quay.

In yesterdays In the Philippines"
Mr.. Stevens gives an account of the
testing of new tire-engine which had
been imported from the United States
for a wealthy resident of Manila. Ell
Captain was delighted with the appear
ance of the machine, glstening with
brass and nickel, and invited all the
prominent people of the city to witness
Its trial. The important day came and
a crowd assembled, curious and expec-
tant, to see what the great American
tireengine could do.
The engine had been placed out on
the quay; all around stood groups Of
open-mOuthed natives.
My associate and l felt fairly i'm
portant as we grutlly babe the police
clear the ground for action. and blew
the whistle 10 scare the crowd.
The huge suction-hose was run into
the river and ten natives were station
ed at the nozzle of the four-inch hose
which was pointed up the small plaza
running back from the quay. The bell
rang and steam was turned on.
1t worked well, and the big stream
went so far as to soak down lot of
baled tobacco lying on a street corner
at the next block, supposedly beyond
reach. The owner of the tobacco came
to the door to see what had happened.
and as the engine began to work better
the stream OF water knocked him over
and played around the entrance to his
storehouse.
To avoid complications of this sort
we shut off steam long enough to shift
the hose over for more unobstructed
squirt along the river.
y few minutes later an open throttle
caused huge torrent to belch from the
long nozzle with such force as to make
the ten hosemen feel nervous. and in
uhelr excitement they turned the
fstream toward lighter which was
being poled down the Paslg by two
Malays. The foremost of these was
washed backward into the lighter. and
the hindmost swept off into the river.
IA Chinaman who was padding a load
.ot vegetables in hollow tree trunk
suffered similar fate.

The Birth OF vanity,

Mothers are often responsible for the
vanity which thcy may dpplore in their
daughters. The atmosphere of the
home is too largely one of perllaps
millinery and mantua-makng The
dress of young children is often so eX-
uuisite that continual caution IS neces-
sary to prevent its injury, and play is
robbed of spontaneity and activity. A
mother who had educated her children
TO all these punctiltes of dress, said {:
Il regret so much the exquisite ward
robe of my little children. see now
that it hurt their character The dress
of little girls should be rs simple and
substantial as that of boys. Every
thing which prevents activity and fos-
tiers vanity should be conscentiously
avoided. Love of dress is also fostered

The shoes are made recessed at the
ends for the purpose of receiving broad
rubber heels, which not only take up
the force of the blow as the foot strikes

exceedingly sensitive. The rubber Docks
