ANNEXATION.

The annexation news is more and
more encouraging, The majority for
the cause is growing in the Senate.
and the opponents seem to have reacn-
ed their last ditch. White and Petit
grew talk for the sake of talking and
their arguments have little weight.
Indeed they talk to, empty chairs.
With the known strategic advant-
puerile for Senator White to talk of
the necessity of having navy of
enormous proportions surrounding
the Islands with a regular Gordon in
order to adequately protect them
from sudden attack. Cuba is only
eighty miles from the American coast
and it has taken the United States
two months to be ready to make a
descent upon it. Being only that dis
tance from a coaling base there has
been no difficulty in keeping up the
blockade, but how is any hostile fleet
going to do much which is three or
four thousand miles from its coalng
base? Senator White is talking
through his headgear, and he must
know it,
One of the most significant remarks
about the proximity of annexation
came from one of the officers of the
Monadnock. He was asked if hrs
family was coming, and he replied
that he hoped they would come by the
Coptic, but" he added, 81 am afraid
they will not be able, for before she
sails the Stars and Stripes will be
flying in Honolulu, and her flag will
prevent her from what would then
be the coasting trade"
Another pointer is connected with
the Philadelphia. 1t is well known
that General wished to sail
for Manila in that vessel, but his plans
have been changed, and he is to use
one of the transports as his flag ship,
the Philadelphia being retained in or
der to come down here and raise the
flag. SttI

who see them passing before their
eyes. But when the history of pres
ent events comes to be written the
few years that it has taken annexa-
ton to be brought to a head, will only
look like very short space of time.
Indeed, from the inception of the
present movement towards annexa-
ton and its fruition it will appear as
if it had taken but a single well
thought out move on the political
chessboard of the ages, the move
ment of one little pawn.

CARE OF eRApEvlNes.

What Is the proper way to take care Of
grape vines In the growing season? The
grapes do not ripen more than half a
crop. The gardener is an old German; ;
he has some very old ideas Of grape
culture, and keeps the vines cut back very
close; he also trims the leaves so as TO
let the sun In TO ripen the fruit. Is this
proper: % What is the best method
of keeping the bees from singing the
fruit and spelling 1t? (2) Should the
ground around the vines be dug in the
spring? 90 w. j. NJ, Troy, n. Y. RI.
European methods Of pruning grape
vines-keeping them short and the stock
mere stump-are not adapted for our
free-growing varieties. There Is, how
ever, wide range in the training, from
covering large arbor to q trellis Of only
eight or ten feet. The main point is to
have fresh, bearing wood each year,
while not checking the general growth
too much. II the vines are young, with
established arms, the bearing canes are
cut back each year to bud or two, new
shoots trained to q desired height, but
not cut back, simply pinch three or four
leaves above the fruit when set. Or they
may be allowed 10 grow along the top Of
trellis, to avoid the forcing Of lsterals
below. On large srb0rs, with establish
ed vines, the pruning is more intricate,
but the principle is the same. Never cut
away the leaves; they are ths lungs and
stomach Of the plant. The grapes need
the sun, not directly, bat through the
leaves, and ripen far better In their shade
than II they are pulled Of. 2 Bees do
not attack grapes unless there Is already
crack or puncture In the skin. 3. The
ground around the vines should be light
" hoed over or cultivated-surface
culture strictly, ~ the feeding roots
form near the surface.

The most curious town in England is
Northwich. There is not straight
street nor, in fact, o straight house in
the place. Every part Of 1t has the ap-
pearance Of having suffered from the
visitation Of an earthquake. Northwich
is the center OF the salt industry in
Cheshire, England. On nearly all sides
Of the town are big salt works. with
their engines pumping hundreds Of thou
sands Of gallons Of. brine every week.
At depth Of some 200 or 800 feet are
immense subterranean lakes Of brine,
and as the contents Of these are pumped
and pumped away the upper crust OF
earth Is correspondingly weakened and
the result is an occasional subsidence.
These subsidences have pulling" ef.
feet ON the nearest buildings, and they
are drawn all ways. and give the town
an extremely dissipated appearance. -

Twelve Hundrod Island Archipelago.
There are mere than 200 islands
In the Philippine archipelago, but only
nine Of them gro Of any considerable
size. the others being little more than
oars volcanic rocks. They have popu-
lation Of between 1000, 600 and s.000,-
900 inhabitants
Luzon, the largest Of the Philippine
group, has an area of Al, l2l square
miles, being about rs large as Cuba, and
Il has a population Of over 4,500, 900.
Manila, the capital Of Luzon and Of
the whole Philippine archipelago, Is
situated at the mouth Of the river Pasig,
which empties into the bay Of Manila.
Including It's suburbs il has popula.
ticn Of i;5. 900. of which about 5000
are Spaniards, l2, 900 are creoles, or
Spanish ~ mixed caste. and the re-
mainder are mainly Tagal Malays,
mestizus. Chinese and Mohammedans
from India, with few European for
eigners.
The Philippines are the most norther-
ly division Of the great Indian arcbi-
pelago.
The bay Of Manila has been called
the finest commercial harbOr in the
world. Il Is l20 miles around IL, and
the water over much Of Its inclosed
area 10 800 feet deep. All the nayies in
the world might anchor in the bay at
the same time and have room TO spare.
After entering Manila bay vessel
still has 2s miles to sail to reach the
city.
In the Philippines the rainy season
lasts from May to November. The heavi-
est rains fall in July.
During the wet monsoons-the rainy
season--the island Of Luzon is subject
to typhoons which often cause great
destruction to the shipping and TO prop
erty inshore.
Like Havana, the Philippines capital
city is famous for its cigars. The Ma
nills cheroot, highly appreciated in
the East Indies and in Europe. is far
milder than tine heavy Cuban cigars.
Malays OF the Tagal and the Bisayan
tribes form the bulk Of the population
Of the Philippines.

people, called by the Spanlards Negri.

the islands.
