A Meeting i'm the Desert.

A Cuban sugar mill owner, on a visit
to New York city to buy new machinery,
tells q funny story of a meeting in
Santa Clara province. "The Spaniards,"
he says, had not destroyed some of my
property, as / had q brother in the army,
a man of influence, so | went on a horse
to ride over the plantations and see what
was needed to resume business. [ met
a strengthening man. He saluted me
in English and said he was an Ameri-
can. He was thin and half starved. He
was in rags and earth. He had had
nothing to eat for two days. | gave him
water from my canteen and he intro
duced himself to me as by the name of
one Seeley, of whom he was sure [ must
have heard. / told him no, | did not
know any gentleman of that name, when
he said: oh, you can't have forgot
ten the name. Don't you remember the
Seeley dinner?' 'What?' said [ in deep

Chiffon Hoods for Evening.
One of the summer whims of woman
kind are pretty chiffon hoods to wear of
an evening when driving in an open car
riage to balls or dinners in the country.
Crimped chiffon, in any f~avorite color,
can be used, and the pattern is that of
a Quaker bonnet or q Normandy bonnet.
a wire frame, or one of Whalebone. is
what the chiffon is mounted on, and full
killed skirts of the downy material are
allowed to fall all around on the shout
ders. So ethereal is this headgear that
it places no undue weight on the most
artistic chignon. the skirts fall closely
over bare shoulders, and with long chif-
fon strings the protecting cloud ties I'M
der the Wearer's chin.
In response to inquiries by the Chica-
go Tribune, it appears that in 347 congress
sional districts throughout the country the
Democratic conventions in 223 districts
endorsed the Chicago platform unreserved-
~, while in 124 the conventions lodged a
full and explicit expression on the ques-
ton. The fact undoubtedly is that the
Democratic party as now organized and
controlled is practically unanimous in sup
port of the Chicago platform with all it's
monstrosities, and if it can get control of
the government will proceed to carry into
effect all the declarations of that danger
Gus and infamous document. The Trib-
une's figures are, probably, short Of the
truth, and the lumber of conventions that
have unqualifiedly endorsed that platform

Average TemDeroeupo In Manila During
July and August u Eishty Degrees y.
Though much has been said In the
United States Of the climatic terrors In
summer Of tho Philippines IL may be
we'll to note the conditions under which
tho American troops will conduct their
novel campaign. The flrst expedition Of
u troops will be due 1t Manila about
the first week in July. This will be
after the close Of the season Of severest
heat, which lasts from April to June.
BY the time the troops reach Manila
steady and strong southerly monsoons
will be blowing over Luzon, with some
refreshing effect. although, az these
winds are laden with moisture, the air
will be very humid. The average tenn
perature in the city Of Manila during
July and August Is usually SO degrees
r., but an the sun Is much obscured by
clouds In these months the maximum
temperatures r apparently nosexces-
sive.
The rainfall at Manila in July and
August averages respectively about 10
and 10 inches, though in the whole OF
July al much as 26. 10 inches has been
In some years recorded. A short dis
lance inland the rainfall is probably
less t~orrential, except at elevated points
peculiarly exposed to the monsoon. In
the second invasion Of Burma, In 1852,
the British forces, after making. some
progress in April. suspended their oper-
ations until the close Of the rainy sea-
son, in October. In view Of the trying
activity which the rainy season in the
Philippines may enforce upon u army
extraordinary precautions should be
tsken to preserve its health, especially
when it Is first landed.--New. York
