O'Clock when Caa..n->' Gibbs called the

the committee on resolutions was ready
to report.
Gordon T. Cole chairman of the COM
mittee on resolutions, presented the re-
port of the committee, which was adopted
as given below.
The reference in the first clause to the
presidential candidates was received with
an ovation. In reference to the clauses
on the restriction of the sale of liquor,
Mr.. Cole explained the position OF the
COLI mittee on the question OF prohibition,
they regarding 1t as impracticaole ana
often imperative. The firm announce
1nsnt regarding the American system Of
protection was greeted with cheers, and,
as the utterances on this question pro-
ceeled, the convention applauded every
sentence. The advocacy Of Dakota's
clsirn to statehood was cheered, and the
reference to the restriction of pauper la
Dor and the Irish question was ap-
piSuded.

Retreat of Niagara Faus.

Although the retreat of the fall is slow it will i'll brief time, in the geological sense of that word, lead to certain nom entous consequences, writes Prof. N. S. Shal>er in Scribner's Md0dzine. When the hard la Yer of Niagara limestone passes below the bed of the river the stream will then cut upon rocks of another constitution, making for a time certain small falls at higher geolog- ical level; but in the course of ages, much less long than those which have elapsed since the birth of this waterfall, the gorge of the river will extend up into the basin of Lake Erie, draining away considerable portion of that fresh water sea. We shall then, if the continent retains its present height above the level of the sea, have another system of cataracts in the passage between Lake Erie and Lake Huron, which Will also in time be worn away. Other cat aracts will then form at the exit of Lake Michigan, and thus the lower lakes of our great American system would be dimin- lshed In area, or perhaps even disappear. At a yet later stage we may look for dimi- nutlon in the size of Lake Superior, though that basin, owing to the strong wall which separates it from the over lakes, is des- tuned to endure long after the last-named oaslns have been diminished or entirely drained away.

COSTLY FLY-PAPER.
A Servant Girl Who Was Too Mindful of
 Her Mattress, Comfort.

Apparently, says the ''Topical Talker' of the Pittsburgh Dispatch, it is possible for servant-girl to be too careful and mindful of her employers comfort.
 The other day a lady of the east end came into town to barley with her dress-maker.
 The latter was erecting for the east end lady a sumptuous dress of white India silk an evening dress of large value and
 beauty, to be used, I may add, to paralyze theupper ten at Saratoga. It is my delecta- ble privilege to know that the dress is, in
 masculine language, a sumner" While she was busying herself at the
 dress-maker's and gong through the
 ecstatic agonies of having the dress tried
 on, her maid in the east end mansion was spending all her energies in praiseworthy attempt to make her mistress room cool and comfortable.
 For, be it known, this east end matron
 was heartily attached to the sanitary habit
 of taking an hour or two of sleep in the aft ernoon.
 Among the precautions that the maid took to render the sleeping chamber worthy of its name was to expel all the flies. You know how tiresome they are these warm
 days when you are trying to steal into the green garden of sleep. To insure the ab- Sence of these tiny tOrmentOrs by the time
 the lady of the house returned from town,
 
 stickiest kind on the bed. Then, having closed the window-shutters and the door, the maid retired to the kitchen. Shortly afterward the lady arrived from town, hot, dusty and eager for coolness and little nap. She had brought the precious robe of delicate white India silk with her, and although she was sleepy and faGgued,
 as I have said, she must needs have another look at the dress before lying down. She took the dress from its easement of paper and box, and flung it open at length
 upon the bed. Then she went to the win dow and opened the shutters. The light poured in upon the room, the bed and the glossy silk dress She stood enraptured! Then she lifted the dress and was at first astonished and then dismayed to discover
 that adhering to the tournure was broad, yellow sheet of fly lNaper.
 Desolation and horror!
 It cost S9.50 exactly to remove the stain. At that price fly-paper and immunity from flies seems a little dear. Doesn't itl

THE rRAPPlsT MONKS.
Description of the Kentucky Home of the
 Silent Brotherhood.

Silent Brotherhood.
 An illustrated article by James Lane AL len, in the Century, describes the Trappist monastery in Kentucky. The following is an account of the outdoor occupation of the brothers: "The community do not till the farm. The greater part of their land is oc- cupied by tenant farmers, and what they reserve for their own use is cultivated by the so-called family brothers, who, it is due to say, have no families, but live as celibates on the abbey domain, subject to the abbot's authority, without being mem bers of the order. The monks, however, do labor in the ample gardens, orchards and vineyard from which they derive their suS- tcnance. in the steam Saw-mlll and gram mill, in the dairy and cheese factory. Thus picturesqucly engaged one may find them ill autumn; monks gathering apples and making barrel after barrel of pungent cider, which is stored away in the vast cellar as their only beverage except water :; monks repairing the shingle roof of a stable :; monks feeding the huge swine which they fatten for the board of their carnal guests, or the fluttering multitude of chickens, from the eggs and young of which they de- rive q slender revenue; monks grouped in the garden around green and purple heap of turnips, to be stored up as winter relish of no mean distinction.
 Amidst such scenes one f0rgets all else while enjoying the wealth and freshness of artistic effects What picture is this young Belglan cheese-maler, his sleeves rolled up above the elbows of bis brawny arms, his great pinkish hands buried in the golden curds, the cap of his serge cloak fall ing back and showing his closely-Clipped golden-brown hair, blue eyes and clear deli cate skln! Or this Australian eX-farmer, as he stands by the hopper of grist or lays on his shoulder bag of flour for the coarse brown bread of the monks. Or this dark old French opera-singer who strutted his brief hour on many European stage, but now hobbies around, all hoary in his cowl and blanched with age, to pick up a handful of garlic. Or this athletic, superbly-formed young Irishman, thrusting great iron prod into the glowing coals of the SaW-miQ fur mace. Or this slender Switzer, your at tendant in the refectory, with great keys dangling from his leathern cincture, who stands by with folded hands and bowed head while you arc eating the pagan meal be has prepared, and prays that you may be forgiven for enjoying 1t.
 "From various countries of the Old World men find their way into the Abbey o1 Gethsemane, but among them are no Amer jeans. Repeatedly the latter have made the experiment, and have always failed to per severe up to the final consecration of the white cowl. The fairest warning is giver to the postulant. He is made to understand the entire extent of the obligation he has as stunned; and only after passing through z novitiate, prolonged at the discretion of the Abbot, is he admitted to the VOWS that mus be kept unbroken till death"

An IncurabIe Blindness.

Charity is paradox to the covetous. IeIl mlser of bounty to a friend or mercy to the poor, and point him out his duty, with evidence as bright and p;ercing as the ngnt> yet he will not understand it. He snutS' his eyes as close as his hands. In both cases there is an incurable blindness, caused by resolution not to see; and, to allintents and purposes, he who aciu not open his eyes is, foU the time being, as blind as he who can not
