Senator AIlison's Remarks.
At 1880 Mr.. Allison insisted on the i'm
mediate consideration of the war revenue
bill, which was agreed to, and he at once
began a brief explanation of the changes
made by the Senate Finance Committee
in the measure as it came from the House.
''As 1t came from the House it was an
internal revenue BILL said Mr.. Allison,
.sand as it comes from the Senate COM
mitteer it is still an internal revenue bill,
except as it places certain taxes on pro-
prietary articles.
THE measure as it came from the
House provided an internal revenue tax
aggregating s100,000.O00 1t also provided
for the further raising of revenue by the

To those Americans who are to take up
their residence in the Philippine Islands
and have never experienced the tropical
rains, as the wet season, lasting from
June to October. is laconically called, a
few remarks on the "iovely climate" may
not be deemed impertinent. Lovely cli-
mate is the generic epithet one hears
applied in a vague way 10 the remote re-
gion around Manila by amateurs.
There are three seasons in the true
tropfcs-the cold weather" the not
weather and the rains" The climate
of the first is like that of paradise: that
of the second like very different and
antipodal territory which shall be name
less in this polite article, and of the third
we'll if there IS a climate that is a COM
bination of a steam bath, warm poultice
and blue mold. the rains IS like that.
In other words. from the middle of No
vember till the middle of March every
day is like one of our most beautiful June
days, with a cold morning and evening
thrown in, the thermometer marking So
degrees perhaps at noon and 40 degrees
or trifle lower even at night That is
the very perfection of weather; it is
weather as is weather" and no mistake.

From the middle OF March till early in

From the middle of March till early in
June the heat grows gradually terrific
till it gets to be unbearable. This climax
happens about the middle of May; then
you go on bearing it two or three weeks
longer. The heat flies about IN zigzags,
the ground flies up to meet it, and to-
gether they make your head swim. Hot
and dry, dry and hot; no rain, yet not
drought. because 1t never does rain
and can't rain at that time of year. 1t
doesn't know how. In the hot weather
it is only hot. In the rainy season it
only rains. There are no postponements
on account of the weather. because there
is only one kind of weather-at a time
There are no sudden changes, for the
same reason. There Is comfort in these
thoughts. You put your umbrella away
in camphor in September, knowing that
you will not require it again for eight
months at least. And you tin your rib
bons, silks and kid gloves hermetically in
May, away from mildew, knowing that
you will not see them again before Octo-
ber There are no barometrical surprises
for the dweller in the tropics.

south America.
The pioneers of civilization in South
America were the Jesuits. saws Lippir.
colts. Although their influence i'm many
respects may not always have been
what was most conducive to the pros.
peritY OF the new settlement. yet their
mode Of treating the natives was more
humane AMI their plan for the develop
nient and progress of the country more
advanced than any other attempts Of
that period. They sought TO establish
permanent home for their sect with
wealth and splendor that would equal
that Of the old world, ard their worl;
was characterized by prudence. indus
try and wisdom. Other settlers came
only IS fortune-hunt.ug adventures
to ensiave thc natives, pillage tie coun-
try and then return 10 their own land

The aqueduct Of Rio de Janciro, the
hundred churches o. Bahia. the stone
water dams on tler..ers Of GCyoz. the
crum bling ruins of almost every state
of Brazil tell of the Jesuit occupation.
Other settlers OF That period left almost
nothing behind them: their mission
was to destroy, tear down and drive out
the only element Of good the country
had, that they might establish the reign
of terror, slavery and rapirH that cursed
the country so long.

DRYING DAMP WHEAT.
New Process for Extracting Moisture

new Process for Extracting Moisture
from Grain Under vacuum.
\ new process for artificiallv extract
ing moisture from wheat was put to a
careful test in Berlin recently, saws the
London Times. The trial was carried
out at the instance of Mr.. Yerburph.
NJ. p, who sent over 80 quarters of Eng
lish wheat to be submitted TO the proc.
ess. The result was entirely satisfac-
tory, over six per cent. OF moisture be-
Ing taken from the wheat. which was a
very dry sanplc in excellent condition
while the heat to which it was sub
tected could not possibly affect it in
juriously.
The principle of the proccss-viz.,
that of drying under vacuum-has
been applied to many articles of COM
merce, and the result of this trial is to
show that it is equally we'll adapted
TO wheat. It is hardly necessary TO
point out that the subject is one OF
great interest TO British farmers, who
would be greatly benefited by the pro.
vision of facilities for getting their
wheat into condition, particularly in
wet season. The full details Of the
trial will be laid before the agricul.
tural committee on corn stores.
