MANILA'S GRASS HOUSES.

Fires are much in fashion in the city
of Manila. Conservatively estimated.
1000 houses are destroyed annually.
Perhaps two or three times that num-
Der of people are made homeless each
year. The CONGREGATIONS are not due
as might be supposed, to lack of ade-
quate protection in fire fighting equip
ment--at least. not since the United
States took charge.
The fault lies in the style of build
ing or, rather. in the materials used
All the business houses in old and new
Manila are built of concrete, stone OF
hard woods. sometimes of all three
The Weather natives and most for
eigners have houses of stone or fine
hard woods, but the districts occupied
by the working class are invariably
built up of nipa "a dried grass and
bamboo.
Both of these materials. especially
nipa. are extremely inflammable. And
as frequent destruction of these shacks
or huts means increased business for
the nipa dealers, incendiarism is ram.

ly the dull season is in dry summer,
when the leaves cure and when fires
flourish.

LIQUIDS We Consume

According to a recent statiStician
who has been computing the amount
of liquids consumed in the United
States in one year. We drink enough
tea. coffee. wine and other popular
forms of liquid refreshment in a yeal
to cover an area of land ten miles
square and ten feet deep. which is
a large enough lake to float a navy
And the amount of" alcoholic beverage:
alone which seemed to be necessary

PARLoR MAGIC.
a Clever Candle Trick That VIII
ATause the YOUNGSTERS.

- NieVer Sand!e Trick That vii
Aause the Youngsters.
Here is a parlor magic trick which
never fails to capture an audience and
WINCH at the same time. is so simple
that any one can do it. You need six
or more candles and as many candle
SUCKS, or you can get along without
the candlesticks by holding a LIGHTED
match to the bottom of each of the
candles. and then. when it has softened
ever so slightly, setting the candle
hrmly in saucer The wax or tallov
VIII harden in a moment. holding the
candle erect in it's place.
Make a hole in one side of each can
ole, cutting clear through until the
wick is severed These holes must be
at various distances from the top-dif.
ferent in each candle.
Now, if you should light one of these
candles it would burn steadily until
the flame got down to the hole. when
the cut in the wick would cause tho
candle to go out If you should LIGHT
them all together they would go out 1T
dlfferent times, as the holes are at diff
ferent places. This is where vour
trick comes in
race your candles in a row on =
table with the holes away from your
audience and then light all six. Now
you begln to relate q story about a
little girl who was alone in the house
and was afraid of the dark. and who
fshted six candles to keep up her cour
age. She heard queer noises about the
house, and drew close to the light and
then pointing to the candle with the
mole nearest the top the first candle
went out. Of course you time Won,
nrst words, so that you say "out'' iusr
before the flame reaches the hole
AS you reach the second point in vo,r
tale the second candle goes out, and
so on throughout the rest of the six
You may have the holes vary but
traction of an inch in their distances
from the top of the candle and tell
very short story. or you may have your
.ale long one, with the distances of
the holes from the top to vary an inch
or SO. BY first lighting one candle and
watching it burn for few minutes Won
can tell almost exactly how long the
name Will take to reach a given point
II you 90 not have the candles go out
In rotation. but skip around from the
1rst to the fifth, then to the second
TO the sixth, the fourth and third, you
can still further mystify your audience.
and if your story be we'll told the Of
rect will be very pretty indeed

about $500. These charges are made
up OF two parts. one OF s. 20 or So per
