Everyone gets up early, for a's"p is
impossible.
The people are passionatcly rond Of
music and their ear is marveous'y
true. There are $50 native bands in
Manila, not more than half dozen
members out of the whole number be-
ing able to read note of music. They
play by ear entirely, like our negroes
of the Southern states, yet their in
struments are always in perfect tune
and their playing is harmonious and
beautiful.
We had been told slch alarming
things about Manila, and warned so
earnestly against indulging in various
edibles, that we entered the city in
fear and trembling. but we found the
drinking water delicious, the little Bay
View hotel comfortable and the table
quite good, considering the lmita-
tons. At least there was good butter
and delicious bread two things that
are not always found in places moro
pretentious.
Mosquitoes were troublesome at
night, but canopies over the beds
were ample protection, while the trade
winds, constant the year around,
proved the assertion of the Manilians
that nowhere do people enjoy more
sound or refreshing sleep.
In the houses which have sliding
screens instead of windows little liz

along the walls and calling to each

The Funny Things One Sees

The native women of Manila still
wear gay skirts, with separate piece
of dark goods folded over them like
paniers, or long wide apron of satin,
richly embroidered
At first | thought widestriped skirts
were worn in imitation of the Ameri-
can flag, until told that it was a fash
ion that had prevailed for many years
The women of the poorer class go
barefoot, and their skirts are abbrevi-
ated in every way, their waists gen
orally slipping from one shoulder, and
their haic untidy when it is not hang
ing altogether loose, in thick, black
masses. The women of all classes are
constantly smoking cigars or Gig
arettes. They carry the children
astride on one hip, instead of on the
back as in Japan and some parts of
China.
One of the funniest sights I ever
saw was scantily clothed Filipino
woman carrying a boy about three
years old astrde of her hip. He wore
a tiny green shirt, his only garment;
on his head an old derby hat was
jammed down to his ears; and, to
complete the picture, his mother took
cigar about eight inches long from
her mouth, while she chartered with
shopman, and put it in the boys
mouth for safe-keeping.
The men are taking to foreign Gus
toms more, rapidly, and numbers of
them wear regular shoes and put a
gauze undershirt beneath their outside
airy one of just. Some of these ex-
quisite just shirts are so fine they are
a mere thought, and must certainly be
worn for ornament only, for they serve
neither as a protection or covering. So
delicate is the thread that, in weav-
ing, it is protected by gauze from the
gentlest breeze.
The Chinese are the only industri-
OILS portion of the population and
practically control the retail trade
among the natives. Many of them are
married to Filipino women, who make
them good Catholics before they con-
sent to marry them. A native woman
who gets Chinese husband Is very
lucky, for she will then be assured of
a living, as he will work for her and
his children. something Filipino can
not always be depended upon to do.
Water carriers are constantly going
about the streets, and the most of
them carry the water in the ubiquitous
Standard Oil cans, slung from bam-
bood yoke laid across the shoulders.
In every part of the orient, beginning
at Honolulu, through Japan, in far

A clear Store Secret.

Every tobacconist has on his count
er a machine for cutting off the ends
of cigars These machines are popu'
lar for the reason that they pay for
themselves many times over every
year.
The ends that smokers cut off are
carefully gathered from the counter.
and it takes but few hundred of
them to make a pound of good tobac-
CO. This can be sold for 40 or SO
cents.
Some cigar store clerks are very
solicitous to see that the patron does
not overlook the cutting machine.
They push it towards him, and he is
impressed with their politeness. These
clerks have for a perquisite the ma
chimes cuttings. This adds several
dollars weekly to their salaries.

The bootblack trade, there being more

MORE TROUBLE ABOUT AMADOR

A stockholders committee of the
Amador Consolidated Mining and
Development company met in

resolutions denouncing the COM

statement that they would not pay

was stated that the matter would
be carried into the courts says the
Chicago Tribune.

invited to attend the meeting, but
failed to appear. E. D. Fritch
who is president of the company,
also had been invited and failed to
appear.

Herbert E. Bradley, attorney for
the stockholders committee, went
over the situation, explaining the
legal status of the shareholders and
answered the query OF a shareholder
who asked whether he should pay
his stock assessment, in this
manner:
You would be in no better
position in paying your assessment
and holding your stock than you
would be in not paying. your
assessment and having your stock
sold out. -
