FOR THE BOYS IN BLUE.

Light artillery, with II men whom he
had recruited at Rawlins, Wy, to help
bring the battery up to the maximum

with several ladies. One Of the latter,
tired and travel stained, calling tho
handsome young sergeant to her, said:

THE PHILIPPINE SUMNER.

Average Temperature In Manila During
July and August il Eighty Degrees r.
Though much has been said in the
United States Of the climatic terrors in
summer Of the Philippines it may be
we'll to note the conditions under which
the American troops will conduct their
novel campaign. The first expedition OF
our troops will be due at 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, as 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 80 degrees
F., but as the sun is much obscured by
clouds in these months the mpximum
temperatures are apparently not excess
sive. j
The rainfall at Manila in July and
August averages respectively about ID
and 10 inches, though in the whole Of
July as much as 20. 10 inches has been
in some years recorded. A short dis
lance inland the rainfall is probably
less torrential, 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 our army
extraordinary precautions should be
taken to preserve its health, especially
when it is first landed.-New York

What may be the purpose of the

the pick of their navy into American
