Life in Manila Is not so difficult to bear as many have sup posed, as the improvements already made by this government have made of it a modern and delightful capital.
 Customs of Natives.
 There are something over three hun- dred thousand inhabitants there, and Mrs. Powell describes most Interestingly the customs of the natives and the Ameri- can colony trying to make life bearable in their own American way.
 Speaking of the social functions given there, to which a number of the higher class of natives are invited, Mrs. Powell said:
 Tt Is very amusing to see these people at the balls. The women all line up on one side and the men on the other side They are all diffident and embarrassed, and if they leave their positions for a mo- ment 1t Is only to extend a greeting and then the conversation ends
 It seems they have no conception of "small talk" as Americans indulge in it. which gives life color to social affairs even if there is no depth to it. But Mrs. Powell says they are all beautiful dancers and accept invitations to ball with eeagerness.
 Detrimental to Memory. One remarkable thing about the Philip pines Mrs. Powell called the Manila Memory She explained that for some unaccountable reason Americans who stay very long in Manila begin to lose their memory. This Mrs. Powell ex- plained was sometimes very unfortunate and she cited the case of a paymaster of the army. A good many people are af- ficted in this way there, and while 1t Is rather to be deplored maybe after all Ma nila will become popular resort-sort of conscience cure-for people who have troublesome mem ories.
 Mrs. Powell has many valuable, inter- esting and beautiful souvenirs of her stay to her charming talk of ner trip.

Origin of tie 5n0wdrop
An Angel Gave 1t to Eve to Drive Away Her
Grief

An old legend gives the following as the
origin of the snowdrop: After Adam and
Eve had been driven from the Garden of
Eden Eve was disconsolate. One day IS
she sat silently srieving, an angel appear
ed and sought means to comfort her. She
longed for the flowers, but thu fast-de-
scending snow was wrapping the barren
earth in a robe of white.
AS the angel stood and spoke words of
hope to the weeping, repentant woman,
he caught a snowflake, breathed gently
upon it and said:
Take form. pure snowflake, bud and
blossom. and be a comfort to humanity,
now and forever,
In a twinkIins the snowflake changed
into a beautiful flower. as white and pure
as the snow itself: and when Eve beheia
the newborn blossom, sladness ana nope
came to her heart and she smiled through
her tears

Development of the New Womarl1ood Among

Work in the Garden Cure for Tired Nerves

A Iady's fingers are much cleverer tiish
the hired mans to prick out oeleate
seedlings. to bud roses or graft trees
and skillful to practice all the delicate
arts of propagatins plants, says Anna
Lea Merritt, in the New Lipplneott-
It is surprisingly easy to raise q large
stock of perennials and shrubs, TO pro-
duce rose bushes, to multiply anything OF
which the smallest scrap or seed can De
procured. Work of this kind has a spe-
cialIy soothing charm for tired nerves
and equals the most perfect rest cure.
It will not injure the finest lady to pre-,
pare potting compost. to hoe or rake
among her plants, 10 spread among
them the beneficial mulch by which the
hired man would probably kill many of
them when roughly shovelins it against
the stems. Only lady knows how to
tend the young rose-shoots and extermi-
nate the marauding grub or green fly.
Some very great ladies in England will
not trust a gardener among their flowers
or even to train fruit-trees or nail UP
climbing roses.
