About the Philippines.

The Philippine Islands form great
group a thousand miles long, lying be.
tween the japanese Islands and Borneo.
The group is said to contain 2 1000 Islands.
Of these Luzon in the North and Min
danao in the South are much the largest.
Like the other Islands of the East Indies,
the Philippines are mountainous with
many volcanoes, and are frequently
shaken by earthquakes. Along the coast
the land is low, fiat and often marshy,
with wonderfully fertile soil.
The year in the Philippines may be
divided into three seasons; the cool, the
hot, and the rainy. The winter months
affected by the Northeast monsoon, are
cool and pleasant. In spring and early
summer the Southeast monsoon prevails
and the weather is excessively hot. The
late summer and autumn are both hot and
very rainy. In the rainy season typhoons
are frequent.
The forests yield valuable woods, fruits
and medical plants. On the fertile low
lands, rice, sugar cane, manila hem, tobac-
co, coffee and many fruits are grown.
Copper and iron ore are abundant in Lu.
zon, gold, lead and coal also being found.
The chief exports are sugar to China and
Japan, hemp to the United States and
Great Britain, and tobacco and cigars to
Europe.
The native inhabitants are principally
Malays. Many Chinese have settled here
and control most of the business and in
1ustries. There are some Europeans, the
larger part of whom are of Spanish de-
scent. The Malays are intelligent but
generally unreliable. They work only
when they see fit, and in consequence
much of the labor is done by the Chinese
coolies.
These Islands now belong to the United
States. Manila, the capitol, is situated on
the Island of Luzen, and is the largest
city and most important commercial cen.
tre. Iloilo, on the Is s'aud of Panay, is an
important town.

Depression of the nervous system at
the approach Of spring is the cause.
General lassitude, dull, heavy sensa-

rejuyenates the feelings. restores the
normal appetite and produces regular
sleep.
That tired feeling which is the nat.
ural result of the depressing effect of
warm weather Immediately after the
lnvigorating cold of winter, quietly
disappears when Peruna is taken.
Thousands are dairy testifying to its
priceless benefit.
