CONVENT TO BE MADE A HOTEL
To Transform Augustine Friars' Home
in Manila Into Hosiery.

The proposal to transform the con-
vent of the Augustine friars into a gil
gantic first-class hotel will do wonders
for Manila. Our present hotel accom-
modations are VIGOROUSLY inadequate.
The authorities have repeatedly been
compelled to suggest that the wives
and friends of army officers stay at
home for the sole reason that suitable
accommodations cannot be secured for
even those who are already here.
When Manila had scarce a place on
the map the present hotels We're suffi-
cient. Now that Manila is taking a
place among the metropolitan cities o.
civilization, visitors are coming from
every port on earth. They must be
cared for or they will go off with their
backs up and tell bad things about us
Moreover, prospective investors are
much more ready to unioose the
strings OF their purse when they have
a good dinner aboard and clear
place to sleep.
Religion will lose nothing by the
change. as the convent and church
quarters remaining will still be abun.
dant for all present demands.
man who is stopping at disagree
able hotel will not take to religion any
how.

ONE VALUABLE P4PYRI.

From The London Chronicle.
Tie british Museum continues TO illumine for
US the world of the ancients through their
papyri. Several years ago the Museum obtained
from Babylonia a number of BabylOnian royal
letters referring to the important period of the
Arabian dynasty Of Babylon, about 300 b. c.
These letters. which now exhibited in the
new b hyIOnian room, afford interesting exam
pies q manifold duties of an Oriental mOn
arch sau-- four thousand years ago. They throw
a great ght upon the civilization and system OF
gcvc.u lent in vogue at the period. The point is
that they have been copied by Mr.. Leonard w.
King the assistant in the Oriental department,
and Messrs. Luzac will publish the text and
translation in the Semitic series.
Another volume. with recently collected papyri,
will be published by the British Museum early
next year. II will contain series of moral
aphorisIns resembling in some respects the Prov
erbs Of Solomon and the Book of Ecclesiastes.
This papyrus fortunately possesses the first
page, and it shows the true use and character of
those works which are numerous in Egyptian
literature. They guides TO the young as TO
conduct which would enable them to attain TO
the highest positions in the State. Another in
