THE WOMEN OF MANILA.
MANY OF THEM ARE VERY HAND

Perhaps one of the most interesting
studies in this part of the world is the
native and the development of his racial
features. Those who are given to the
study of physiognomy are impressed at
once with the intellectual superiority of
the female native over the male. She
shows it plainly in her face and manner,
and when she speaks it is even more un
mistakably apparent. As a rule the na
tive women are modest, industrious, anx
ious to acquire a knowledge of lan
guages, and make moat excellent house
servants. They are very expert with
the needle and learn music with scarcely
an effort; in fact the whole race is natu
rally musical, and there are probably
more really excellent brass bands in
3Ianila than in any other city of its size
on the face of the earth. Nearly every
district has its brass band, and each reg
iment of soldiers has one that would do
credit to any country. That attached to
the artillery regiment received, the first
prize at the last Paris exposition, and
several cities in the orient have- bands
of natives of the Philippines who fur
nish the Lest muic to be had.
EMPLOYMENT OF WOMET.
Some years ago sewing machines were
introduced here and the native women
very oon learned to run them as easily
as any white woman. Now no well
regulated household i3 completely
equipped without a sewing machine and
a native Ionian to run it. An excellent
seamstress can be had for twenty cents a
day. and nearly every European family
has one the year round. Of coarse, they
lobe quite a number of days, as the church
feasts are numerous and they are most
devout in their religious duties; they
never work when there is a chance to go
to church, so that, taking it altogether,
they probably are paid for less than two
thirds of the year.
They live in their own homes little
nipa huts, with one or two rooms and
are in the housesof their employers from
about 8 a. m. to 5:30 or 6 p. m. Large
numbers of the native women work in
the tobacco factories and other manu
facturing establishments about the city,
while many of them occupy themselves
at home, making toys, fancy articles and
embroidery for the shops. Some of their
toys are very curious and give evidence
of wonderful dexterity and delicacy of
touch, and are quite as valuable as curios
as those of the Chinese or Japanese. Full
sets of dolls' furniture, ships, houses, na
tive canoes, carriages, etc, are repro
duced in miniature with great expert
ness and are sold at very low prices.
STREETS FULL OF BEAUTIES.
The natives are a branch of the Malay
race, and none are much darker than a
very dark brown. They have some of
the characteristics of the American In
dian, among which are the high cheek
bones, which, however, are not as a rule
prominent in the female face. A native
belle has a bright, expressive face, soft
black eyes full of animation, and a
mouth that would be beautiful but for a
suggestion of sensuality. Yet she is
modest and drqps her eyes bashfully in
the presence of strangers, but has for her
intimate friends a smile fascinating in
the extreme. And there are many such
faces among the natives; one can see
them at almost any hour of the day on
the streets selling goods of various kinds,
returning to or from their places of em
ployment or peeping coyly out of thu
one window of a nipa hut, These girls
are never tall nor awkward, but their
forms are just as nature made them, for
they are not distorted and deformed by
the fashionable dress appliances of civil
ized life. They are ignorant of the ways
of the western world, are guileless and
confiding, and it is not strange, consider
ing the class of foreigners who usually
come to this far off place, that the Eu
rasian, or half cast element, is constantly
growing.
What would be called Eurasians in
other parts of the east are called Mestizos
or Mestizos; that is, the offspring of
white fathers and native mothers. A
fair type of the Spanish Mestiza dress,
which is peculiar to this class, consists
of a long 6kirt of heavy silk and a waist
and neckkerchief made of the fibers of
the pineapple plant and embroidered
with white silk linen or cotton. This
costume is calculated to greatly enhance
the attractiveness of the face and neck,
and therefore the Mestizas as a class have
a reputation for beauty which they prob
ably would not have if they wore Euro
pean attire. Some of the skirts are beau
tifully painted and embroidered and cost
fabulous sums, for there are many very
wealthy people among the Mestizo class,
who, although they could not be wel
comed in the best society, form an aris
tocracy of their own, which is very ex
clusive. Manila Letter in St. -Louis Bo

Since I was 10 years old there are a
few things that have always made me
mad, and one was to ask me, the minute
I mentioned approvingly a man's name,
whether he was married or not. What
earthly difference did it make? And an
other was to have a man change his tone
and manner to me when he got married.
Mr. Brownell talks about the man find
ing the woman treating him differently
when he marries. I assure him that is
not half as asinine as when the man who
has known me since I was as high as the
table and called meMoOie all my life be
gins to address me as "Miss Bawn" the
minute he gets a wife. What did he
mean by calling me Mollie at all ever, if
it was something that controverses the
rights of his wife? I was not engaged to
him; he was not my lover. I thought we
were the simplest, matter-of-course old
friends. But, Io! it seems there was
something else in it according to his
view, and now I have a right to be in
sulted over the past, it seems to me. I'd
get a divorce from a man I married that
acted like that. New York Graphic

The railroads of Germany are under

employes that they will not be allowed
to accept the smallest gratuity or favor
of any description upon penalty of sum

"Women haters? Plenty of themr
A Journal reporter had met a well
known physician in an uptown cafe and
interrupted a conversation that the doc
tor was holding with a friend over a
cigar and a bottle of claret. He spoke
easily and with confidence that he knew
his subject.
To hate a woman, especially one of
the dainty, loving kind, upon whose
glances men hang enthralled, or for
whose kindly glances men would sacri
fice their souls, seemed, incredible.
Perish the thought! And yet the visi
tor's mind brought into remembrance
cases in which men had sworn they
hated women, only to be captured and
put in bondage by a pair of bright eyes.
The physician struck a fresh match
and watched the smoke from his cigar
curl lazily upward as he related a few
strange incidents that had come under
his observation professionally.
THE STORY TOLD BY HOLMXS.
"One case that I recall," said the doc
tor, "was that of a German, a' member
of all the musical societies, who late in
life acquired and betrayed an intense
hatred of all women. He had been hap
pily married, and no on? suspected him
of this new feeling that began to creep
over him and destroy the love he had felt
for his wife and the respect for -his
mother.
" "He struggled against it and fought it,
but it was no use, and the disease, if such
it may be called, began to show itself to
his family and friends, and an instant
estrangement from his wife was the re
sult He ran away from his home and
was finally returned hopelessly insane.
"Now." concluded the doctor, "there
was a man who was a woman hater,
only he did not know it because he was
insane. The physicians had diagnosed
his case aright."
The conversation turned then on a case
that had been mentioned by Oliver Wen
dell Holmes in his book. A very young
boy had been left in charge of a nurse,
and she had suddenly gone insane. In
hsr maniacal frenzy she tried to strangle
her innocent charge, and only desisted
when she thought she had succeeded in '
her object. Then she killed herself with
a razor, which left her a most shocking
sight. The boy revived, and the first
thing his eyes fell upon was the corpse.
From that day throughout his child- !
hood and up to the day of his death the
sight of a woman was enough to throw
nim into convulsions, ins nurses were
men, and his family decided it best to
seclude him. No woman ever entered
his apartments, but all the work of tak
ing care of him devolved upomnen. He
died in those rooms.
"Yes, that is very strange," said the
physician, meditatively. ' 'But I think I
know of one nearly as remarkable," and i
he went on to relate the following:
"In the spring of l I was called in by
a prominent banker to attend to his son,
who had suddenly become afflicted with
a strange state of mind, which proved to
be a hatred of women. This his family
could not understand, as he had always
been a leader in social events and fond
of ladies' society.
"I found the young fellow's constitu
tion very much run down, and made Mm
admit that he was a victim of the opium
habit. He also conf eased to me an ad
venture that bad happened to him, but
which I will not repeat, as it is too long,
in which he had been scared nearly out
of his wits by a woman.
"It was easy enough for me to see that
unless the impression caught and retained
by his mind in its enfeebled state could
be removed, he would remain a woman
hater all his life."
"Was it ever removed, doctor," asked
one of the listeners.
"Never," was the answer, and the
party relapsed into silence for a moment.
THEY AXSOYtD HOC.
A diversion was caused by the waiter's
removal of an empty bottle and the sub
stitution of a fresh one, and the conver
sation was resumed.
"Tell us another, doctor," Insinuated
the newspaper man.
"I could tell you several more, but
would have to do so briefly, as a patient
is waiting for me," he responded. "I
recollect a gentleman who stood very
high in ail affairs connected with educa
tion in New York. He, too, was a wo
man hater. As his opinion on school
affairs was considered valuable, many
teachers, especially ladies, used to run to
him for advice, but as he was deeply en
gaged in study, their calls were a source
of annoyance to him and irritated him
into the state of mind that I have men
tioned. "He was a bachelor, but he finally dis

Intrusted his entire fortune to a woman
and she made away with it and made a
woman hater out of him. He would
never addrem one.
"But," concluded the doctor, impress
ively, "I think that designing mothers
are responsible for many of the woman
haters, as they frequently prevent their
daughters from marrying the men of
their choice, and when a girl deserts the
man she lores and marries another, it is

There has been considerable talk about
Deibler's want of dexterity in dispatch
ing Prado. .After every execution we
hear 'the same thinir. for Deibler is a
little,' hesitating man, with anything but
an impressive way of doing business.
His appointment as executioner caused
many heartburnings, for, when Hein
drichs died, there were 900 applications
for-the post. Deibler has married the
daughter of Roch, the previous "Mon
sieur de Paris." He had also served as
assistant to Heindrichs, and bad made
several important improvements in the
mechanism of the guillotine. Consider
ing his familiarity with blood, he is a
very nervous man, and he has never for
gotten Tropman's biting off Heindrichs
fingers during the operation of adjusting
the lunette. The fact is that it is very
difficult in tilting the bascule to so work
it that the neck of the condemned man
falls exactly into the hollow of the
lunette so that the blade should strike in
the right place; but Deibler was only a
quarter of a minute in fixing Prado,
though, no doubt, it seemed much longer
to the waiting crowd, and to Prado.

Of a sedate but cunning dog out in

the dogs with the exception of Bonus
dashed off in full pursuit. We were
astonished to observe that he, foregoing
the intense excitement of the chase, de
liberately trotted by a short cut to a
hollow oak trunk, and crouching at its
base calmly awaited the coming of the
fleeing rabbit. Aad he was not disap
pointed, for the pursuing dogs pr cased
the rabbit so hard that after making a
long detour, it approached the place of
refuge. As it was about entering the
hollow trunk, Bonus sprang up and cap

hunting rabbite in that field, and knew
that the rodents were in the habit of

PIECES OF SCARCE KINDS OP MONEY
AND THEIR FANCY PRICES.
taw Dam as?
A erase which of late years has greatly
developed and at this time shows no
sign of falling off. is that of collecting
rare coins. Chicago leads all western
cities in the number of its numiematista
and boasts some fine collections. It
might be supposed that the demand
would be principally for coins of great
antiquity, but this is not the case. The
chief inquiry is for sets of American
coins, and some numbers are so rare as
to readily command fancy prices. In
certain years some dssciiptiws of coins
were not minted at all, while in other
cases few copies were issued. Other
coins are valued because of some error
or eccentricity in the die: in fact, any
variation from the ordinary types, if in
good condition, will bring more than its
face value.

trade dollars, issued 1879 to 1883 in
clusive, are at a premium of 10 cents
each. Of half dollars, those of 1798 and
1737. with fifteen or sixteen stars, bring
$15 each. Others of value are dated
1794, IcOl and 1S02, and there are many
more, such as 1S36 with a liberty cap,
1838 with an "O" mark under the head,
and a coin of 1853 with liberty seated,
which are worth from $2 to $5 each.
The scarce quarters are those of 1823
and 1827, with the head to the left, each
valued at $15, wiiile the 17SS fillet head
is to be hud for $3 and that of 1804 for
$1. Twenty cent silver pieces of 1879
bring 80 cents: those of the succeeding
year are cheap at fl.50. The dimes of
the grandfathers are mostly worth from
1 five to twenty times their face value,
, while half dimes in silver bring from 50
cents to v- each, and a special brand of
the vintage of 1S03 will command $25.
, Silver three cent pieces run from 20 to
50 cents: nickel fives 15 to 80 cents each,
and nickel threes 15 to 25.
COPPER LEADS GOLD.
There ia a great demand for old copper
cents, the first ambition of every col
, lector being to start even with the pro-
cession in 1793 or so and bring it down
j to date with a coin for each year. It
, will cost him from $1 to $3 for the vari
ous kinds issued in 1793, $3 for 1799, and
$2.50 for 1804 With the exception of a
' cent of 1809 with the head to the left the
' reasonable in price.
Half cents
are in demand, and readuv command
' from $4 to $6 for those of certain years
between 1831 and 1849. But in these it
, must not be understood that those of all
j years are equally in request. Those is
t sued 1840-48 inclusive, with the head to
' the left, average about $5 each. Wash
ington medals, old fashioned cents, and
i the copper issues of New York, Vermont,
Massachusetts and New Jersey bring,
provided they have the necessary ear
marks, sums ranging from $1 to $10.
There is not much call for gold coins,
but trial pieces are valuable, and good
proofs of double eagles of some years,
as 1853 and 1856, bring a small premium.
Scarce half eagles are those of 1815 and
1822, and worth full $20 each. On other
dates from 1795 to 1834 some 20 to 80 per
cent, premium is paid. Three dollar
, ""! P" P- xmee onuar
. 8" Plece8 ". ioo, wim tne
figure of an Indian princess, bring $6
and $5. respectively. Quarter eagles of
early dates run from $3 up to 9, and
there are many gold dollars for which a
slight advance on their face value onet
be paid.
Intending collectors need not distress
themselves in looking for dollars of the
years 1803-35. inclusive, for Uncle Sam
was either short of metal or otherwise
busy those thirty years and none were
coined. There were no cents rushed on
the market in 1813, and no eagles from
1805 to 1837, inclusive. The Confederate
States made a die for a silver dollar and
struck off a few, but ran out of silver.
An authentic coin of that issue would
bring $1,000. As a contrast to this it
may be noted that you can get a penny
of the Cavers for 50 cents. Chicago
Tribune.
What would a London lady think If

present herself to a hostess who was
decked out in white satin. low neck and

ditto neck and sleeves? The blinds would
be drawn, to be sure, and the gas lighted,
but the cards would have read "from

nets are worn at the theatre, at the
opera, at receptions, and at concerts,
even when "evening drees" has been

worst of it is, however, that a few ladies
do go without bonnets, and in that lies
the incongruity. A request for "even

by the ladies only by their putting on

The Star states that the origianlmssa
nscript of Dickens story, "Oar Motnal
Friend,' fa said to be in the possession of
Mr. O. W. Childs, of Philadelphia, whs
is reported to have refused 1,900 for it
The story of this manuscript fa rather
remarkable. "OurMataal Friend" was
reviewed in The Times at great length,
and in most laudatory terms by the lata
Mr. Dallas, who had previously informed
Dickens that he had aadertakea to do
justice to -the new book" in that jour
nal, the notices of which carried great
weight in those days. Kckeneeo highly
appreciated the value of the sanies'
which Mr. Dallas had rendered him that
he presented him with the manuscript,
which the enthusiastic critic received
with the utmost effusion, vowing that
he would always treasure it as one of his
most precious possessions. Within a short
time, however, the manuscript was sold
to Mr. Childs for 250. London Truth.
Bread fa not the staff of life to many
people of civilized nations, because they
do not eat it. Baked loaves of bread are
unknown in many parts of South Austral
and of Italy, and throughout the agri
cultural districts of Roumania. Not
many miles from Vienna bread fa nerrer
seen, its place being taken by stern, a
kind of porridge made from ground
beech nuts, which fa taken at breakfast
with fresh or curdled milk: at dinner
with broth or fried lard, and with mOk
again for supper. In the north of Italy
the peasantry live chiefly on polenta, a
porridge made of boiled maize. It ism
every sense the Italian peasant's dairy
bread. The Roumanians eat a mama
liga. made of maize and like the polenta
except that the grains are not allowed to
settle as in the Italian dish. Sterz fa
also known as heiden and takes the place
of bread in Corinthia and many parts of
the TyroL Good Housekeeping.

The newspapers also mirror life as it fa.
They report in full all the murders,
crimes and horrors that happen around
us. I wish they would not give so much
space to these things. Often when we
want a small Ueissonnier cabinet picture
we get a broad, startling painting, done
with the brush of a scene painter. It is
said that the newspapers of today do not
tell the truth, and I tliink there is not
one of us n ho has not seen at some time
or other in his evening Eagle reports
about himself which he thinks aru not
correct, but when we consider that the
newspapers now take in the whole
world. I marvel that they are correct as
they are. There fa as much truth in them
as there is in the preaching. Laughter

Ignatius Donnelly does not trust to his
memory for ail the odd anecdotes and
funny stories with which he elaborates
bis speeches on any and all occasions,
but he follows the example of Abraham
Lincoln and keeps a note book which fa
full of them. He keeps the note books in
adrawerathome and looks them over,
not only when he wants one for a
speech, but whenever he gets blue. Be
says that his note books are better medi
cine than anything the doctors can pre
scribe. Some one who professed to have
seen the inside of one of Mr. Donnelly's
note books says that when the sage gets
a good anecdote or a striking bit of
poetry, he makes a marginal note beside
it of some man whom it will fit. Minne

The French minister of agriculim
has published a return showing that the
total number of wolves killed during
the past year was 701. and of these two
were wolves which had attacked human
beings, and for each of which a premium
of 8 was paid; four torn were she wolves
with young, for each of which a pre
mium of 8 was paid: SIS were ordinary
wolves, for which a premium of 4 was
paid, and 370 cubs, for each of which a
premium of 32s. was paid. The total
amount paid in premiums was 1.920, as
against 2,284 for 760 wolves in 186C.
and 3,820 for 900 in 1883. The depart
meat in which most wolves were de
stroyed was the Dordogne (109), the

Those persons in whom certain senses
