A CHATTY LETTER
FROM MANILA, P. 1.
(Continued from last week )
The carriages in use here would cause
a emilo if soon on Canadian roads, though
they answer the purpose ]sere admirably.
The most common kinde are two wheelere
and are called quilez and oerrometos and
are ovally distinguished, The former hes

end slightly in rear 00 the axle. While
the oodaere site en a little seat close be.

ante running lengthwise and capable of
holding four paesengere while the other
one only carry two. In a oarrometo
with four paeseugers, even of medium
height, their knees are interlocked. and
heath; not far apart while the °ochero
site out in front and feeds his quadruped
"long oats" pretty steadily in order to
convey the impreeoion that he is making
good time. The 000hero is almost always
one of the most guileless looking individ.
uale ever seen but he will never let a fare
off without trying to get 3 times as much
as he is legally entitled to. It ie seldom
that he emotes a sucker nowadays ex.
Dept some new comer who hoe not been
posted ae to the rate of hire, a list of
wbioh each oochero is obliged by law to
have hung in a prominent part of hie
vehicle.
The ponies which. are raieed here do
not average more than 11 hands or weigh
over 300 lbs. No mares or geldings are
seen in the city eo the cooheroe have to
keep a continual watch on their animals
when waiting for a fare or there will
surely be a fight. Splendid ponies can be
bought in the proviocee for 310 or 315
Mexican °errancy which is about,} valve
of 13. S., wuioh would bring from 360 to
3100 here. All animals used for draft
purposes are branded, and the certificate
of registration or transfer is the only
legal proof any one can bring to sub-
etaotlate a claim of ownership. One
strong and prominent feature of these
ponies is their balking. Ninety nine out
of one hundred can safely be depended
upon to balk at least twice in going five
miles and the oochero takes it as a matter
of oonrse, simply chirruping a little more
assiduously and applying the whip some-
what more emphatically until finally the
animal finds out where he ie at and
again takes up the forward movement.,

0000anut trees were felled and pone one,
Out of curiosity, mounted the nuts on ono
tree and found there were over 250 some

of 15 or 20 bushels were so aumeroae
that no one paid any attention to them.
In
Iota of soft places in .the roads the
hullo were used for filling and it is olatm-
ed that they make a better roadway than
anything else used for that purpose silica

roads in the arohlpelego.
OLIvOn Buren,
(Continued next week-)
4 Brt,ssellte in Chicago,
The draft animal of the country is, by
all odds, the oaraboa, one of the slowest
and most unintelligent which can be well
imagined. They are said to be very
powerful but if so I must always have
seen them at a great disadvantage. On
good roads with a good Dart behind them
346 lbs. was the greatest load I ever saw
put on. They require a great deal of
bathing, clean water not being essential,
bat simply damp enough to wet. Failing
their baths they are very liable to go mad
with the heat when they tear things end-
ways, lowering their heads until the nose
is between the fore lege and the Borns
projecting oat in front, they start on a
dead run and keep it up until they drop,
generally dead and always worthless so
that they have to be killed. The flesh is
much relished by the Filipinos, but
foreigners are chary of using it and rots
very quiokiy beside having a very peouliar
odor even when freshly killed. It lives
principally on the marsh grass, which is
very abundant, rice, sugar cane and
banana shoots, as do also the native
ponies though these latter are very fond
of molaaees too.
From about 11 a. m. to 2 p. in. daily
the principal planes of business are closed
and they eojoy the midday siesta, but
from the latter hour until close on the
curfew hour every thing is as lively as
any one Gould wish. The only places
which do not conform to the above ous•
tom are the bar rooms whose business is
generally so briak that they have no time
to shut up shop until the onrfew hour.
This is more noticeable since the new
Hume order went into effect ae it closed
up a large number of the smaller places,
the price being too high for them to pay.
The restaurants too have no time to
close as the foreign element will eat dur-
ing the day, and the number of patrons
is not decreasing any if the atatemente
_ ) made by more than one proprietor are
to be believed. Goad meale can be had
for 50 cents gold even though meats, but
ter, potatoaa, pickles, preserved fruits,
&o., have to be imported, principally
from Australia, and heavy duties have to
be paid.
I've seen miles upon miles of farming

your subscribers have had thfe pleasant. op

It is wellfor anyone who has the means to

The most expensive thing In the world
ie running/1i a rub and that often num
from staying at home. The ours is to go to
market. Buyers are attracted by new
things and will pay haudomety 00r
uove;ties and the 'latest style. Fresh
ideas in all things are worth money,.
Chicago never sleeps but is wide awake
both night and day. The populattou of this
city is estimated at prevent about 2 million
and i9 inereasiul &tumidly at the rase of
150,000. The area of the city is 187,188
miles, Thera are 902 miles of street rail-
roads and 647 churches, western Avenue,
the 1085001 street, measures 22 miles
The oily is the greatest live stook market
iu bbo world, as well as the greatest grata
market, It has 9 great English daily news-
papers. Phere is more than 8200,000,000
vested in manufacturing estabiisbmeute
and the volume of wholesalebusiness ex-
coeds
rneeds 0500,000,000 annually, I uodereta.,d
that overa mi'lioe ploees of mail -pass
daily through the post of9oe, More than
8.000 lake vessels enter and leave the
port of Chicago eye17 year.
In the style and character of its archi-
tectural structures Chicago must be ad-
mitted to stand without rival among the
cities of the American continent. This
oily is the native home of 'sky 000o00rs."
The hydraulic elevator which made the
'lofty buildings feasible, was the invention
of a Chicago man. In bulldieg, the steel
frame is now substituted for the solid or
stone structures of earlier days and not
a few of them contain over 500 rooms
The Maeoulo Temple is ane blithest of
these "sky scrapers" and is 21 stories. To
appreciate this lofty building one meet take
the elevator and go up and down. There is
a roof -garden on top of the building where
man yspend a pleasant boar lo the Summer
days.
Chicago is noted for the number and
excellence of its great hospitals, The Cook
County hospital is the largest and most
importa0 t of the public charities of the
oity. It is a large building, built of tel
brink, d.0., and 000upise a 12 acre traot of
land, Any patient who has not the money
to secure treatment at °'.other hospital or
at his home, is rooeived here, The staff of
competent one.° Here Halls kindshofoniaedical
and surgical casae are treated, too numer-
ous to mention. It is wonderful how suc-
cessful the nurses are in the children and
baby wards. Many a mother could learn
valuable lessons from these noises how to
nurse a child especially when sick.
There le no doubt such ineiltutione are a
ble0e1ng to a large city. Foreiguere of all
tongues axe located in this hospital. Pre
I often wish 11e could more languages,
however, Ido very well with my English
and German, not 'reminding a few Outflows
of Geo lin.
It may be of interest to some of your
readers to mention something about the
big atones. I will only be able to g,ve 70110
short deeorlptionof one stere that is eon -
earned the largest in the world. It is call-
ed "The Fair." It iv a moweive structure of
0 stories and employe 9,000 salespeople and

shopper, that throng the store daily iu 40,-
090.

are in use in the building, It has nearly 6
miles of counters. The stock and assort-
ments are necessarily very largo, with
everything needed to clothe man, woman
or child from head to foot or to furnish a
house from top to bottom. The store has a
complete fire department of its own con-
sisting of 13 companies, or 295 mon, each
company under the commaod of a Captain
or Lieutenant and eaob company haying a
Owlet messenger, all louder toe direct con-
trol Mild supervielon of a Chief and assist-
ant. The fire department is drilled twice a
week and is always on excellent shape for
any emergency that might arise. There
are 19 chemical truths, 1 ohemioal engine,
58 extinguishers of all kinds, 30 buckets al-
waysfilled with water and 20 barrels also
filled, 98 reels with 4 inch regulation fire
hose of 100 feet in length, ropes, ladders, in
foot everything needed by a fire brigade.
All alarms are signalled by fire gongs.

There are any number of Public Parks in
Olio city. It is tto early in the season to
euioy these pleasant locations. I only
visaed one and that was Lincoln Park. It
lies 2 miles North of the centre of the city
and is reached by the North Clark 8t. and
_ells 8t, oars. The Park mouthing 300 antes
and has 4 lake frontage of 11 miles. There
are 10 miles of driven, 12 miles of walke,7
bridges, 2 tunnels and over 20 cores of in.
lend lake surface. Title Park ooutains the
ooly Zoological garden la Chicago, It is a
pleasure to the the animals. I wan greatly
amused ono day watching the trainers in
their attempt to train the uamele. They
are apparently as hard to train as a kicking
broncho, but more awkward and have a bad
fashion at times of spitting over the
train ere, which often brings forth the whip
and not a little profanity from their
mestere, The Horticultural garden in this
Park ia simply grand. It contains plants
from all over the world. The largo boa•
constrictors, rattlesnakes, &o., were asleep
while there, The attendants told me they
sleep for wockg when they awake and ale
then fed. The Humane society took oh-
1008100 to animals being Pod to tinge rep-
tiles in a live state and considered such
footling a cruelty. Taoso large boaoon•
etrlotors have very little trouble in Swallow-

buffaloes, whioh are getting extinct, can
also be seen here.
