WHY Douglas. i. UnDopuluI-Ia H.,,l.

I ASKED Prof. Langston as to the objections
of the Haytians to Minister Douglass on ac-
count Of his color. He said: II don't think
there can be any objection raised to him on
that ground nor on the ground of his having a
white wife. Not few Of the most noted peo-
pie of the Island are blacks who have white
wives and this was the case Of the late Presi-
dent 5alomon. once heard salomoh make 4
speech defending himself against the charge
that he was opposed to the mulattoes, He
said: am black man myself and my wife Is
white French woman and my Vice President
Is HAytian as white as any Caucasian chal.

against any one on account Of his color
II don't know that Minister Douglass Is nm
popular in Hayti," continued Minister Lang
SION, 'but If he is so 1t is because the Haytians
are very jealous in regard to the annexation or

A Chinese Marvel.

In 1880 A. D.. after nineteen years of
ceaseless labor and al expenditure Of
about 81, 900, 900, the Chinese Govern
ment finished the wonderful porcelain
tower at Nanhin. which stood for nearly
four and a quarter centuries, until 1856,
the most marvellous building ever erected
BIZ human hands. II was of octagonal
form, 260 feet in height, with nine sto-
ries each having cornice and gallery
without. The name Of Porcelain tower
was applied to this unique structure on
account of the fac, ,ha. the whole of the
outside work was covered with porcelain
slabs or various sizes and colors, but
principally of red, white, yellow and
green. At every one of its nine stories
the projecting roof of the gallery was
covered with green tiles, each corner
being provided with bell varying in
weight from 800 to loco pounds.
There were 152 bells in all, each so
nicely balanced as to rock back aud forth
as they were swayed bv the breezes, Civ
ing out continuous strain of beautiful
but weird music. Ranged in rows be-
tween the bells were l29 brass, bronze
and silver lamps. which were lighted
every night in the year. The apex Of
the tower, starting from its base at the
250-foot level and extending upward for
a height Of ten feet, was a monster
gilded pineapple, surmounted by cop
per ball about two feet in diameter A
spiral stairway Of over 800 steps led from
the base to the summit The building
was constructed as a gift to an Empress,
and was always kept in repair by the
Government. Lightning struck it in
1901 and tore down the three top stories.
The injury was repaired as soon as pos
sible. 1t would probably be standing to

Dog Days.

We are near the season of the year
when every canine, however trusty,
tried and true, is supposed to be an OBJ
ject of suspicion. For these are 'sdog
days." Tne dogs. however, got not
their title from our pugs and pointers,
but rather from Sirius. surnamed the
Dog g-star, which is in the ascendant at
this particular time, Coincidently, dogs
do most frequently 90 mad. during this
season, perhaps because Of the heat. or
because of the influence of potential
Sirius. IT you have dog, watch him
carefully. as to his diet. and keep his
blood cool, for in short time you will
need him. There is excellent fishing on
the Saint Paul s. Duluth Railroad at
present; but by and by you will want
to take your annual or semi annual
hunting trip, and will need good dog.
Game will be plentiful, aud this road,
which is tho short line to Duluth and
West Superior, affords the best Of
transportation facilities to those who
travel for sport or on business. Geo.

A Beloved Priest.

Rev. Father O'Connel, of Richmond,
one Of the oldest priests in Canada, has
resigned his charge at Richmond, hav-
ing decided to retire from actual work
in the ministry. It would be impos-
sible to write Father O'Connell's life
without writing that of the Catholic
Church in that part of Ontario for the
last half century. Away back in 1889
and 1910 his name was d household word
in the counties of Carleton, tho Ian:
arks, the Renfrews, and in Russell and
Prescott and Glengarry. Many of those
who are now in. the youth of old age"
he baptized and prepared for confirma-
tion. In Ramsay, as Almonte was called
years ago, and in Huntley also, he is
affec.ionately remembered by the few
surviving veterans who labored with
him in erecting churches and planting
the seeds of christianity in anew conn
try. He never courted the things Of
the world, but, like Cardinal Manning,
he desired to die, as q priest ought to
die, without money and without debts.
It Is understood that this venerable
priest will spend what remains Of life
with his nephew, Rev. Father O'Dona-
hue, Of Perth. 4s@
