pany places in her house a slot machine
into which she drops a quarter and the gas
is turned on at the rate of $lO5 for 1000
cubic feet. When she has burned a quar-
ter's worth of gas the flow stops abruptly
and is not resumed until a second quarter
is dropped in the machine. An ordinarily
good manager uses % cents worth OF gas

infinitely more comfortable than coal at
the rate of 10 cents a %scuttle, or 30 cents a
hundred pound sack.

Meat is the item OF living which strikes
dread to the heart Of the East Side pro-
wider. 1t must be purchased from a kosher
shop, it must be cut from the most expen-
sive portions of the animal, the forequar-
ters and breast, and it must be absolutely
above suspicion. No kosher butcher may
keep meat more than three days.
The breast Of beef sells at IS cents a
pound, the cut known as "chuck" bringing
II. Unkosher meats sell as low as 5 and 6
cents per pound, but the Gentiles living on
the East Side patruniZe the kosher shops
largely. TO be assured Of getting clean, un-
tainted meat. Only the best poultry is Of
fered On the East Side, where it brings from
IS cents to 25 cents a pound. The finest
fish goes to the Hester street shops and
wagons, commanding from IS to 80 cents a
pound. Pike is regarded as the greatest
delicacy. SO minutely and thoroughly does
the East SideT's religion enter into his
domestic life that ne eats either the best
there is in the market or nothing. Bet

meats that are open to suspicion. The
housewife may offer but one dish at n
meal, but that will be carefully prepared
according to the law and traditions.
Vegetables she finds reasonable, fruit high.
The latter is eaten, not as a delicacy, a
dessert, but to satisfy actual hunger. The
East Side child when it gets 4 penny does
not run to the nearest candy shop. The
money represents to him actual food and
is spent usually at fruit stands. Diminutive
baskets Of Strawberries in season sell for
cents, bananas in good condition and o.
reasonable dimensions can be had for

and Judgment is never pronounced on a
newcomer in the neighborhood until the
janitor's wife and perhaps the woman next
door have caught a glimpse Of her stove
and reported its condition to the older resi-
dents.
The East Side matron regards the in
stallment house as an institution of the
evil ones and buys her furnishings only as
she has cash in hand and to spare. In
this case she is apt to plunge a trihe,
buying furniture quite out OF proportion to
the size and general appearance Of her
room. If there is only one bed In the
house, it will be of white iron, with as
much brass ornamentatiOn as her purse
will permit. At night this is coupled by
the mother and father and during the day
it is piled with the bedding used in making
"shake-downs" for the other members Of
the family. This may reach to a height
almost on a level with the top rail of the
head piece, but once in place it is carefully
hidden from view by a lace bed set or a
priceless old Counterpart brought over by
the family as emigrants. A combination
sideboard and refrigerator fills the ambitions
of the East Side housewife, also a good pOr-
ton of the room, and a massive pier glass be
tween the two front windows is regarded
as an essential. Lace curtains, the more
obvious the pattern the better, she does not
regard as incompatible with a sanded floor.
Draperies of imitation cretonne in vivid
colorings give life to the dun-hued sur
roundings and are retained the year round
along with the lace curtains. Bureaus and
chiffoniers seem unpopular.
But, however many or meager be such
furnishings, the china closet of the genuine
East Side woman is a thing Of beauty and
a joy forever. Each shelf is hung with a
pleated curtain of stihhy starched linen,
trimmed with home made lace and inser
tion. Behind these, on the shallow shelves,
are ranged two distinct sets of dishes, &C
cording to the Mosaic law that the ANNA
products, such as meats, %gravies, soups
made from meat, etc, shall not be eaten
from the same dishes as milk, cheese and
butter, Separate sets of knives, forks and
spoons also are provided and two distinct
sets Of cooking utensils. In the hand-to,
mouth existence she leads, little does the
East Side hOusekeeper know Of store room
linen room or pantry, but her china close
is a part of her religion and is guarded
with a Jealous eye.

STRIKES AT MANILA.
Natives Quick to Learn Influence OF
Organized Action.

Manila, June 1.-THE demand of the
native workers for an increase in their
wages is supported by the Gle IS, the
tobacco and hemp workers and laborers
generally, and also by the men en-
ployed in the shipping industry, where
the demands were promptly conceded,
owing to the heavy demurrage that has
to be paid in the cases Of vellels delayed
here. The Chinese were also out on
strike for three days, when they re-
turnd to work.
Senior Peyes has resigned the presi-
dency Of the Workingmen's rociety, but
continues to convoke numerous meet
ings, where the speakers indulge in
howery appeals to the w~orkingmen to
grasp the opportunity to elevate their
social n commercial conditions. He
states hat he himself Is wealthy and a
large employer OF labor. He feels the
Increase In wages but leads the move
ment for the benefit of his countrymen.
Merchants differ greatly concerning
the situation. Many consider that a
crisis is approaching and anticipate
~walkouts, while others predict hat the
strike will soon end. The chambers OF
commerce are cooperating in urging
the Introduction Of japanese and the
admission Of Chinese under bond, to a
limited extent.
