WINDOWS IN MANILA. Translucent Shell Are Used In Plao of Ordinary Glaea. Perhaps in no other country but the rhilipi .nes are conchas a Red as a sub stitute for window glass. Tbese shells are flat, nearly round, and average four Inches in dlumeter. The edges are trim med off so as to leave panes about three Inches square, and tbese are set lu narrow strips of wood. The shells are, of course, translucent rather than transparent, and the result Is a soft, opalescent light, very agree able In a country where the glare of the sky would be intolerable If ordi nary glass were used. To obtain the maximum window openings the sashes are made to slide horizontally on wide sills of hard wood in a manner similar to that adopted by the Japanese. By this means openings as wide as twelve feet are obtained. To realize the splendid resources of the Philippines, says a writer in the Century, one has only to see the bard wood floorings in the public buildings and the residences of the better class. These consist of large slabs of mahog any, or. to use the local names, mo lave. narra, tlndalo and acle, these be ing of various colors and graining. Frequently the pieces, occasionally as much as forty inches In width and for ty feet In length, are laid alternately In dark and light shades. Polished by the household mucbachos (bouse boys) till they reflect like mirrors, they produce a magnificent effect. DODGED THE ROUNDSMAN. The Tired Policeman Cleverly Got Himself Out of a Hot. A police sergeant was going the rounds when ho saw a policeman, whom we'll call Mullaney, go Into an undertaker's shop where there Is gen erally a pinochle game tn the back room. He knew there was no back way out for Mullaney, so "rounds" planted himself by the door and wait ed. After a time he sent in word by one of the men working In the shop that be knew Mullaney was in there and that he had better come back on post, becai.e the longer he waited the worse the complaint against hi in would read. There wits much commotion In the back room, and as there were a num ber of coffins being loaded Into wag on outside they put Mullaney In a cof fin and loaded him on the wagon. Then they drove him down the street a couple of blocks, and Mullaney climb ed out He strolled back up to where the sergeant was doggedly watching the door and saluted. "Hello, rounds! Pleasant evening. Isn't It?" he said. And the sergeant stared for a moment and then stamped away too mad to speak. New York Sua.

An old geutletnsn who sat with thin, blue fingers spread above the feeble blaze from which my wife, red nosed and shivering, endeavored to extract a little warmth, expatiated on the cake burning episode.
