FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH.
a Cer;oxYS M;S+a Le WL;oh TL

The first stage of catarrh is what is
commonly known as catching cold 1t
may be in the head. nose. throat or lungs
Its beginning is sometimes so severe as
to cause chill and considerable fever, or
it may be SO slight as to not hinder a person
from his usual business. In perhaps a
majority of cases little or no attention is
paid to the first stage of catarrh, and hence
it is that nearly one-half of the people have
chronic catarrh in some form.
To neglect a cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. AS soon as any one discovers

SERVANTS IN MANILA.
Their Methods Would Not Exactly Suit an
American Housewife

From my friends here | learn that much
of the patriarchal system of living still
prevails even in Manila, writer in the
Outlook says. In some large houses there
are from 20 to so dependents of all de-
grees, from poor relations to cooks and
solutions. These persons live about the
house. sleeping in corners, and are clothed
and fed by the mistress. They marry,
have children and raise them in a harum-
scarum way that would drive-an American
woman to an insane asylum. Again and
again | have seen in one of the finest
houses here small naked children asleep
behind the parlOr door. while large-eyed.
placid women nursed babies quite I'M
abashed as they crouched on the floor in
the Railways. These servants have their
home. their clothes. food and from three to
FIVE pesos a month. In way, l suppose,
they earn this money, as they nonchalant-
ly polish the hardwood floors or carelessly
flap the dust from the center of tables
and chairs.
They sit on the floor in kitchens in
front of pan of water and wash the
dishes that are piled up around them, and
stack them edgeways along the wall to
dry. Surely their ways are not ours. and
it is shock to the nerves to see a kitchen
in the heat of preparation for a banquet
of which one is to partake later. 1t re-
Guires some skill to pass between the vari-
Gus dishes being prepared on the floor,
where cats and dogs and babies, meats
and fruits and vegetables seem hopelessly
jumbled up. / always forget about it
later, for delicious dinner will almost
always come forth from the chaos. Many
of these servants have lived all their lives
in one family. They feel themselves de-
pendent on their masters, and the idea of
their going away or being dismissed never
occurs to either master or servant. There
is consequently family feeling between
them and freedom of intercourse that
we, democrats though we are. would not
tolerate. A friend told me that his head
servant always demonstrates with him
when he disapprOveS any course of action,
and sometimes l have witnessed an alter
cation between mistress and maid in
which the maid prevailed. AT one house
l remember there was difference of opin-
ion at dinner as to the kind of wine to be
served, and the servant had his way; yet
they are not considered impertinent by
their masters
