OF green. The sward is kept shaved
like a beautiful lawn. and 1T has been
turned into a park and playground
for the people.
You may see the white coated,
brown skinned men and women chas-
ing the golf ball in the old moat
every evening. There is a park on
the filled land adjoining. and con-
stabulary band plays there three
times a week
Wide avenues have been cut through
the Manila of 1899, and a new city,
planned under the direction of D. H.
Burnham, who aided in planning the
new Washington. is growing up.
~ r
THE old city within the walls is al
= most intact. 1t is right across the
river from the new business section
in which the big banks, stores and
Offices rise high above the rest of the
buildings. Going through 1t you are
in the Spain of three centuries ago.
Houses of two stories, painted in all
the colors of the rainbow, have bal
comics that overhang the narrow side
walks. Their roofs are Of red tiles,
curving inward like the corrugations
of a gigantic washboard, and in the
tile valleys are rows of emerald
green. The birds of the air have
dropped their seeds in those cracks.
and this moist climate has warmed
them to life. They have sprouted
and grown and made, as it were, a
very garden of the air. The old city
has many fine trees, and the grass
forms a lawn on the top of the wall.
Think of a city with windows of
pearl! This is the condition of nearly
all the houses inside the walls. The
panes are of sea shells cut into
squares of half the size of a playing
card or larger. They are set in a
framework OF wood. making check
erboard of white mother of pearl rim
| med with black, or a criss-cross lat
tice work set with these jewels from
the depths Of the sea-
The shells are SO thin that they let
in the light while they keep out the
heat There are hundreds of thou
sands of such windows in Manila.
They wall the second stories OF the
better parts of the city, so that 1t
corresponds to the New Jerusalem in
| having pearl windows, IL not gates
of pearls. Ny hotel room is walled
| of from the sea with q pearl frame
| work of this kind. and the palace OF
the governor general is surrounded
| with pearl. The shells are perfectly
| fiat and about as thick as the blotter
you have on your writing desk. They
are now being used to make lamp
shades and lanterns for the lamps
and electric lights of the fine houses
here. I understand they are being
shipped to the United States and that
| a big trade will result.
The old city still has the govern
Ement offices. The Filipino Congress
| meets there, and there the Catholic
Church has a university and schools.
| Two-thirds of the property within
the walls belongs to the Catholic
| Church
| Crossing the Pasig River on the
new concrete bridge, which now has
most of the traffic that the old bridge
of Spain had in the past, we find that
the business section of old Manila has
many new features. Facing the river
| not far from the harbor are big mod
ern banks representing the United
| states, Europe, and other parts OF
! tho world, and the Philippine Islands

, white slippers, and the dainty bare
heels OF the girls bob up and down
against the silk as they swish along
the streets
The upper part of the costume is
| a waist, over which is gauze jacket
with sleeves as big around as a three
gallon tin bucket These sleeves
| reach the elbow and shrink in at the
armpits, inclosing the upper arm in
| a network as stif as though it were
! wire. 1t looks a little like a rat
| trap, save that the walls are much
longer. The jacket extends around
over the shoulders and is fastened
] neatly acrosh the bust.
AS to the slums of Manila, there are
| none, but the district of Tondo con-
| tains tens of thousands of the lower
classes of the people. Even here the
| wider streets are of asphalt, but back
| Of them on the outskirts one finds
great warrens of houses made of
| bamboo and palm leaves, in which
| whole families live in one or two
| rooms. This part of the city is sub
| ject to fires, and it has been wiped
| out again and again. It costs only
| few dollars, however. to build one
| of the shacks. and they rise up like
| magic from the ashes.
In Tondo most of the people dress
| about the same as they did in the
days of the Spaniards The children
are barefooted, and the women have
| garments such as I have described,
only cheaper. Comfortable gauze
sleeves are to be seen, but the skirts
| are of cotton. The workingmen have
| on little more than shirt and panta-
| looms. and the shirt in almost all
cases hangs down outside the trou-
| seds for the sake of coolness. We
| are here in the tropics, where fine
| woolen cloth seems as heavy as car
pet. BY the looseness of the shirt,
tho wind bathes the bare skin, the

as well. Some of them are of four
and five stories, and their equipment
is equal to that OF the big banks OF
the States. Near them begins the
main business thoroughfare, the Es-
colta. which in many respects re-
minds one of Madrid or Buenos Aires.
Here the signs are in Spanish, with
now and then one in English.
The old buildings are OF Spanish
architecture. their second stories hav-
ing shell windows such as have de-
scribed. The store fronts below are
of plate glass. The iron shutters of
the past have been taken away, and
the street is far different from what
it was twenty-five years ago. The
asphalt is not more than thirty feet
wide from sidewalk to sidewalk, and
the pavements will not accommodate
more than two people going abreast.
An electric trolley runs through the
center. and the automobiles and
trucks almost Craze the cars as they
go by.
Farther on in this business center
are intersecting streets given up to
the Chinese, with bazaar-like shops
that remind one of Canton or Han
kow. The Chinese do much of the
business with the natives. The re
are more of them on the islands than
we have in the United States.

DROMINENT everywhere is the
prosperity of the people. The men
and boys I meet on the Escolta, and
everywhere else in the better parts
of the city, as we'll as many children

though they have just come from the

cents an hour. The ponies look like
rats. They are not bigger than three
months, old calves, and they remain
one of the team of mice that appeared
before Cinderella to be turned by the
wand of the fairy into the magnifi-
cent steeds that took her to the ball
of the prince.
Most of the heavy work outside
Manila is still done by the carahaos.
They are the draft animals of the is
lands. I can describe them best by
saying they look like gigantic, nat
backed, black hogs with horns. They
are as big as the average Durham
COW, but no respectable American
COW would acknowledge the relation
ship. The carabao has a skin like
a Berkshire hog, and its long black
hair stands out like brist1es upon 1t.
One can see everywhere the hide
through the brisues. I am told that
the animals have but few pores, and
that they must have a bath several
times a day in hot weather or they
will go crazy A half hour in the
water after every four hours of hard
work is said to be the rule; and for
this reason the drivers will stop now
and then at the river or the canal as
they go through the city, and let
the beasts wade in until their backs
are practically covered and only their
heads show above the surface.
1 have counted q score of carabaos
SO bathing during a half hours walk
through Manila
The animals do not like foreigners
and out in the country one had best
watch out il he meets a mad one on
the road. The Filipinos say the
beasts do not like the smell of an
American, and when unaccustomed to
it they will raise their heads and
sniff with rage and then rush at the
foreigner. Nevertheless a baby Fill
pino can lead them, and a brown child
of ten often comes to the aid or the
foreigner.
Ia am trying to swallow the city of
Manila, but 1t has SO many strange
features, new and old, that it sticks
in my throat, and it may be weeks
before 1 can digest it. 1t Is like no
other city 1 have ever seen, and
search in vain for a comparison.
At times ! think have it in Bang
kok, for the Pasig takes the place of
the Menam River, and the canals are
filled with Strengthening craft, on
some of which families of these
brown skinned people live and die and
do business.
Some of the canals remind me of
Holland, for there are tiled roofs of
curious shapes overhanging them. and
others have some of the aspects of
Venice.
There are miles Of streets here like
those of old Spain, having bright col
oredf two-story houses hanging out
overFt the sidewalks, and the old city,
which was built while the Indian
wigwam was the only sort of home
on Manhattan Island, is still sur
rounded by a great thick stone wall
two and a half miles in length, with
carved gates which take one back to
Europe of the middle ages. During
my last visit to Manila these old
| walls were surrounded by moat
| which in the days of the Spaniards
was filled with water. 1t was several
| hundred feet wide, and it formed an
| important part of the defense of the
| city from the Moro pirates who came
| up from the south. This moat is now
covered with grass of the greenest

THE increasing demand for

THE increasing demand for plati-
mum, particularly for use in the
manufacture of gas mani ties. has led
to the invention of a process of
saving the fine powdery grains of
this metal found in the gold placer

state of very fine division, almost in

II PROPOSE to deal with the human
Most readers will admit that If
we had no body it is doubtful II
we could get along.
Under such circumstances It is OBJ
viouS that the care and use Of the
body is 4 matter OF prime Importance.
What will be the best food to give 1t?
What would 1t like to eat? In short,
the Thoughtful man when he sits
down to eat will not merely consider
his own personal likes and dislfkes,
| but will remember that he must look
| after his body.
The Same is true of exercise. Tho
wise man when he goes out for a
| walk will take his body along with
| him. 1t is not too much to say that
the proper care of the body has q
close connection with the health.
To maintain this care there is
needed a continued and anxious per-
| sonaI attention. II a man drops a.
hair he should know it at once; one
of the follicles at it's base may have
given way or perhaps the fall Of the
hair may mean that he is in the
incipient stage OF scatalosis, or
mango.
Nor is 1t only the external aspect
of the body that should be an object
of continuous attention. The same
| thing is true of the interior, or what
we may call medically the inside.
The man> Of discretion will go over
himself each day and tap himself
with a small hammer to see that his
body is functioning as it ought to.
This care OF the body, and partic-
ularly this attention to food, Is
| thing of very recent growth. 1t be-
longs only with the era in which we
| live and with the invention of scenic
advertising along the lines of our
| great railways. 1t Is amazing how
careless our ancestors were in this
respect The early pioneers who cut
| down the forests and settled the farm
| lands of America never seem to have
taken any exercise. They knew moth
ing of the valne of deep breathing or
of the advantage of lifting the left
knee up to the chest five times every
morning before breakfast.
|
| A S to food. the ignorance of our
- ancestors was appalling. They
| were ignorant of vitamines, colories
and the proper proportion of ferrugin-
Gus and diaphanous elements in dur
nal diet. They ate pancakes, oatcakes,
johnnycakes and other albuminous in
tegers without realizing that in SO
doing they were increasing their con-
sumption of protein without any cor
responding balance of nitrogen.
They seem to have eaten meats,
pies. ham sandwiches, doushnuts, and

must have some form of relative meas

science supplies this in the form of
the calory, one of the newest and
brightest discoveries in the art of

from the Greek calico, eat) means
the amount of units of heat which
