The, view of the ind ...al observer is af fected by his ....vu temperament and mental habit. A and IS may employ the sain* filipino carromato A pro nounces the cochero to bc an utterly reckless driver and an unscrupulous little rascal, B thinks thc same man to be the cleverest thing he ever saw, because of the C sh with which he is whirled through a crowded street without a collision, and declares that thc fellow is fair and reasonable in his charges. The Filipino boy (who is a man of probably thirty years) who cares for my room at thc hotel serves me to my entire satisfaction. My room is clean, my shoes and clothing are brushed and cared for, my calls promptly answered, and all my require ments duly met. My neighbor, in thc adjoining room, rows at thc chap and linds nothing done to his satisfaction. Probably no one of these four, A, B, my neighbor or myself, gets a true measure of the Filipino character, yet each ts ready to assert that thc Filipinos are this or that, thus or so. The Filipinos cut a telegraph wire, run provisions through thc American lines, and Gre upon American outpists from tho concealment of bambou jungles. A calls them cowards, das tards and tricksters. B asserts their cleverness in adopting the only system of warfare by which they can hope to score any measure of success. A thinks the Filipinos a dirty lot because their domestic environments so often sug gests-thc imperative; need of a revision in its method of sanitation. B thinks them cleanly race because bc notices so many of them while they arc bath ing. The matter of cleanliness is one of the inconsistencies of Filipino charac ter. Their houses and surroundings may be on the verge of filthiness, but they are, as a very general rule, most careful in their attention to personal ablutions. Again there comes a curious inconsistency. They will bathe in tho muddy Pasig and in the canals of the city and its vicinity. Some of these canals are but little better than sewers. They are usually foul in appearance, and often unspeakable offensive in smell. American methods arc strenu ously seeking to ohange the custom of former days, but these sluggish, mud dy-bottomed channels are still made thc receptacle of a considerable amount of offal and refuse. Yet these people bathe in them regardless of their doubtful composition. Thc Pasig is a less notably offensive bath tub. Yet it is the main system into which the canals discharge by tidewater, and the stream itself is often a rich compound of alluvial matter. Its special advantage lies in its dilution by reason of its volume. The morning bath along the river front is one of the interesting sights of Manila. Few visitors see it because of thc early hours of the performance. 1 should not have seen it myself had I not been obliged to get on board a steamer one morning at a most unholy hour. Both sexes bathe together, but there is no immodesty about it. All are as fully garbed as thc bathers at Coney Island or Rockaway. Tt is a common enough sight to see a native washing his feet and limbs in a street puddle, and some one or more, male or female, old or young, will usually be seen taking more or less of a bath at the hydrants in the outlying wards of the cit.. I'xcept in the case of "kids," the bath is often taken with but slight change in the apparel. The men who thus bathe publicly are not customarily overdressed anyway. The ladies come from their houses in the vicinity, wearing a single garment se cured under the arms and above the bust. The bath is taken bj' pouring water oovcr the head and shoulders. This finds variation in a home bath by fetching thc water instead of going to it. I have secu women sitting in a tub on thc ground in front of their houses, garbed as above, and pour ing and rubbing with manifest satis faction. The/beach along the shore of Kr mite and malate. the southern exten sion of tho city, is another well fre quented bathing spot. There is little swimming. Many Filipinos can swim, ts ;is Seen l.>y A.mcri Tliero. l r, "ir-/ l'ont. ! a ii'i s-?ijnr arc powerful swimmer?.

I hough occasionally ibo tub. \ Another evident.t' personal clean lin?'.-.- is in thc apparel. hive ti aiming the poorer classes there is a noticea ble neatness of garb. Across the street, which runs beside the hotel at which I stay, there is a large cigar and cigarette factory. .Most of the em ployees are women. They are of all ages, from girls of lt) or VI years to women of IO or more. In New York their pay would make them an object of the efforts of a variety of philan thropic organizations. They file past my windows on their way to and from work. 1 have yet to notice one whose gauzy camisa and panucla, print akirt and tapis, showed any great need of the laundry. There may bc a measure of shabbiness, even though that is quite unusual, hut it i> quite tiucommon to sec them dirty. I ?lid not lind either Tuerto Ricans or Cubans to be faithful church at tendants. The Filipinos are remark able for their fidelity in that respect, j and Sunday and various feast days are tiiiu-s of a kind of a '!?<-.--, parade. The b? si of garments and ibo most of jew elry belong to the church service, and ono notes preeminently the whiteness ol' the masculine clothing and tin; Spotlessness ?if the feminin?'. The dresses ?if the women (1 should call them gowns if I were certain of the range of that tenn) are of all imagina ble colors and combinations of colors, from entire black to plaids of red, green anti yellow. That applies to the skirt. Thc tapis, which maybe called thc Filipino ovcrskirt, is usually of some black cloth. Except in the case of the more wealthy, the stocking of the Filipino woman is almostcxclusively a religious institution. Most wear the peculiar shoe of the country, the chinela, at all times on the street. Few wear stockings except on Sunday or on days of church feasts. All do not wear them then. Many cannot afford that much. But a pair of black stockings is to a Filipino woman very much what a pair of kid gloves is to an American woman, except that the American glove is in more common and general use than the Filipino stocking. One of the noticeable points about the Filipino women is their modesty. Their standard of dress and demeanor is not as ours is, but I am not sure that their modesty is not of a truer type than the American. It is certainly more honest, less self-conscious, and perhaps less prud ish. There are few better ways in which to study the customs of any people than b3' spending an hour or two in their markets. 1 am continually not ing marked differences between tho customs of this bit of Spain's former possessions and them of her posses sions in the West Indies. In Puerto Kico thc market was virtually closed at noon. Herc it is a busy spot throughout the day. It is a market and a restaurant. One may ?"it down to a dinner, in courses, of the most unattractive messes imaginable. Ile may buy, as seores of thc natives ap pear to bo doing all the day long, little bowls of "chow" in any number of varieties. He may buy a little slab of slimy, sticky-looking paste, of the type known as dulce (sweet), wrapped in a piece of banana leaf, thereby courting almost certain indigestion, and, from thc general appearance of thc stuff, possible death. The prevalence of dirt and Hies around the average Filipino market causes one to wonder that the death j rate of the island is not any number of times greater than it ts. Appar ently, no part of an animal killed for market is thrown away. Everything is brought up and exposed for sale, exposed also to the flics and thc heat ed and humid air, in the markets pat ronized by the swanning thousands of thc poorer classes. Fish is a staple diet, and a variety is offered. In thc markets of the masses the tish ven ders may be seen squatting, not seat ed, before their large, flat baskets of fish, large and small, fresh, stale, smoked or dried. The vegetables are of a more attractive appearance, in considerable variety, though usually ?inali III M Z . i i ! ? i . t . ? :. lu Ok (?I pi . cultivation. Many of . . .cgCtaMf s aro familiar If?

The nuts arc brought from thc coun try in large boat loa?]-, and the betel leaves are brought in fresh almost daily. Th?; Moros of Suhl are even more vigorously addicted to buy than ar?: the Filipinos. (Jue rarely ^.eets Moro man whose sash doe.s'not1 hold a small metal box, of Chinese make, stored with his almost indispensable buyo. The Chinaman, both as u merchant and laborer, plays a prominent part in all the life at Manila. His shops and stores may bc ?een anywhere where there is trade to be had, though cer tain thoroughfares, like thc Calle Ro sario and Calle Santo Cristo, are al most distinctly his own. Industry is bis habit, but thrift appears to be his nature. Ile wastes nothing, and one can but wonder what on earth can ever be done with the stacks of seemingly useless rubbish which may he seen heaped up in the dingy shops of the dealers in the things which even a poverty-stricken Filipino would throw away. If "Waste not, want nut," be a true saying, its logical conclusion would bo that lhere was no such a thing in the world as a Chinaman who wanted anything. One may see a phase of Filipino life on the Kscolta and tho Luneta; but it will lo* largely the life of a class. To see the life of the masses, one does well togo into the crowded and dingy streets of the Toado district. It is not a pleasant pleasant place, and it does smell horribly. Rut there are more ''iiipinos here than there are on the Escolta, and they are probably more representative. It has been demonstrated repeatedly in every State in the Union and in many foreign countries that Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is a certain pre ventivo and euro for croup, lt has become the uuiversal remedy for that disease.

The manufacture of these wooden vessels has become a very im portant industry, and it is computed that between twenty-five and thirty thousand persons are employed in it. The foundation of this modern package business, so we are told by The New York Sun, lies in the inven '?on of a mpchiuc which shaves logs of wood int.? continuous strips of veneers, instead ol' thc oi l way of sawing the veneers out like boards. That machine was invented about twenty years ago, and since then it has turned whole forests into pliable j strips ol' wood ol' tin' thickness of or- j diuary cardboard and as capable o!" i manipulation, while processing quail- ? ties which make them available for ; purposes for which cardboard would he Utterly useless. Where poplar, beech, and birch and elm and sweet gum grow, ibero are made the baskets. The crates in which herries are sent to market are made where white spruce grows. The process of manufacture begins with the barking of logs. They are then sawed into sections of about two and one-half feet in length and im mediately plunged into a long vat of boiling water or scaled in tanks where live steam is fed to them. They are steamed or boiled for twenty-four hours. A crane picks them up one by one and lauds them between the centers of a turning lathe, where they are automatically centered and clip ped fast. As they begin to turn a broad, sharp knife as long as the logs comes up and slices each log spirally into one immense ribhon of wood. As the ribbon glides over thc knife roll?is catch it and feed it under fixed knives which slice it into the right widths for baskets parts. Other knives, set so as to cut but part way through it, make the marks upon which the parts are afterwards folded. Now girls take thc formed pieces. Knell girl has before her a wooden form, shaped like tho baskets she is to make and handed with iron where tacks or staples are to be driven. She deftly folds a strip of tough birch or elm about the form for the inner band, bends over this the pieces which form the body and over these another band of tough wood. If she is making tacked baskets, she already has her mouth full of tacks, and she takes these oue by one and drives them through thc veneers, where they clinch against the iron bands of the form- Some girls will make three thousand ^erry baskets in a day, and the average worker can make about two thousand. They get eighty-five cents a thousand for the work. In other parts of the factory orates are being sawed out and nailed to gether, .ftach well-made orate will havo sixty or seventy nails in it, be fitted with hinges, and a hasp for the cover, and yet one Of these with thirty two quart berry baskets in it sells for only twenty-six cents. Better crates, which are meant to be returned to the farmer, and are provided with metal corner pieces for strength and are made of heavier material, sell for a few cents more. Few of the baskets are ever used a second time, and it is es timated* that two hundred million berry baskets alone are used in this country every year. Of butter dishes, ranging iu size from one pound to those holding five pounds each, it is estimated thac two hundred millioos a year are used.
