The overworked man who goes away

The countryman who takes boarders

Although duty should come before
pleasure, it is best to draw the line at
taking your grandmother with YOU on
your summer vacation.
However deceiving the old farmer
may be, his pretty daughter is sure to
be ingenious and smile on all alike.
The woman who was never used to
going away before she was married will
call her husband mean old thing if he
doesn't send her to a fashionable hotel
for the summer.
When the pretty boarder is in the
hammock it is sure sign that one Of
the other fellows is with her. Z
The heiress you meet has very little
money, considering that she is so used
to ''cash."
At the average farm house fish are

DULUTH, Mimi, July 2.-The Catholic
pro-cathedral, at First avenue west and
Fourth street, burned tonight. A large
number of commandments were gathered
III the church for confessional. and
about 1:45 lamp near the altar was
overturned, just how no one seems to
know. There was Il rush for the doors,
and the most serious confusion :reigned.
Before any one could recover. the flame
from the burning oil ignited the wood
work, and in an amazingly brief period
the flame burst out the roof at the
steeple. The fire department arrived
too late TO save the church or Bish-
op McGOlrick'S residence, which was
connected with il. The streets sur
rounding the church were crowded
with members of the Catholic faith from
all parts of the city, and every effort
possible was made to recover Bishop
McGolricks private library, one of the
finest and most complete in the North
west, and numbering $1,000 volumes.
They were partially successful in this,
but over half of it, as we'll as the library
of Rev. Father Corbett, was destroyed.
Records of the result of private re-
seacrn, belonging to both, and priceless
in their value to them, were also
burned. The prO-cathedral was frame
structure built in 1868, aud the estimat-
ed loss on both buildings is $4,000.

heavy downpour of rain. about 1000 EN-
thusiastic Republicans assembled at the
Detroit opera house this evening to rat
ify the nominations made at Minneap-
oils. Gen. Russell A. AIger presided.
and in the course of a speech Of
some length he complimented the Re-
publican party upon the eXcellency of
its nominees and made numerous hits at
Grover Cleveland. He declared that
the Republican party is the guardian of
American labor and American homes,
and that if the Democrats were success
full at the coming election they would
flood this country with foreign labor to
compete. with disastrous results, with
American labor. Before adjourning.
the following resolutions We're adopted
amid great enthusiasm:
Resolved, That we extend to the leader of
the Republican party, James q. Blaine, our
sincere sympathy in his sorrow over the
our first meeting since his retirement from
office, we desire to thank him for his
great services. The country owes TO him
more than to any one else the triUm oh of
economic principles through which enormous
success has beer achieved. His genius has
opened hitherto closed markets to our peo-
pie, while reserving to them all the iegiti-
mate advantages in their own. Under his
care our foreign relations have been main
tanned i'll peace and honor, without trucking
to great nations or being unjust To weak
ones, Nav his long-needed rest from public
cares be sweetened by the love of a grateful

Representatives of the Wabash seek
to justify their action by explaining
that the Chicago IL Erie stole march

delegates to the annual meeting of the

One O'Reilly, trader, in casually
stopping at the house of Boer. near
Pneil, Gri qualand West, saw some chill
dren playing with some exceedingly
pretty pebbles, and on asking his Dutch
host whether he could take one, he was
promptly told that he could do so, as
1.-THE children had plenty more of them"
O'Reilly took the stone to Grahams-
town and sold it for $1,000; it was resold
for $4,000.
A Dutchman named De Beer had
built himself the usual waffle and daub
house on his farm, but it had been
erected for quite long period before
some 'inQuiring proSpectors found that
the rough castused for the walls actually
contained diamonds. The farm speedily
changed hands for $4,000. 1t now, with
its neig hboring mines. produces over
S1S,000,000 OF diamonds annually, the
total wealth from this discovery to date
being probably over 50,000.00O.

a small lamp he examined the nature of

light he found a three-quarter carat dia-

Further search at the meercat's hole
revealed other diamonds. and six

refused for the farm. Since the acct

HOW THE NATIONS LAUGH.

Merriment Appeals to All People,
but Some Don't Show 1t.
St. Louis Republic.
All the world laughs, though the ma
tions have different ways of showing
mirth. The Chinese laugh is not as
hearty or as expressive as the European
or American. 1t is oftener litter than
a genuine burst of merriment. There is
little character or force in it.
AS for the Arabian laugh, we hear
little of its hilarious ring through the
ages of mirth in the Old World. The
Arab is generally stolid fellow, who
must see good reason for laugh or be
surprised into it. In Persia man who
laughs is considered effeminate, but
free license is given to female merri-
ment.
One reads of the sgrave Turk'' and
the ''sober Egyptian" but it is not re-
corded that they have never moments of
mirth, when the fez hobs or the veil
shakes under the pressure of some par
ticularly ''good think" In Mohammed
himself Christian writer's have noticed
cordiality and jocoseness, and they say
there is good ringing laugh in the
prophet, with all his seriousness.
An American traveller in Europe re-
marks the Italian mirth as languId but
musical. the German as deliberate, the
French as SpaSmodic and uncertain. the
upper-class English as guarded and not
always genuine, the l0wer-class English
as explosive, the Scotch of all classes as
hearty and the Irish as rollicking.

IN THE LOBBY.
The Social Gathering Ground OF
the House OF Commons,

The Social Gathering Ground of
the House OF Commons.
Chambers Journal
The house of commons lobby is kind
of recreation ground where members of
parliament may take little mild exer-
else. The air here is perhaps purer and
fresher in hot summer days than in the
chamber itself, and there IS room to
stretch the limbs and take small sscon-
stitutional." The party whips, notably
Sir Herbert Maxwell, may be seen
on most days when all important diviS-
ion is impending walking up and down
the tesselated pavement, and one or two
well-known members, such as Sir Henry
Fletcher and Mr.. Broadhurst, clearly
affect the lobby for purposes of health
and gentle exercise. The terrace is more
adapted for the latter purpose: but
lately 1t has become somewhat unpOpu-
lar. owing to the supposed prevalence
of the dreaded influenza microbe on the
river side of the house.
Then the lobby appears to possess
kind of pacifying and softening infu-
ence. PartiSans who in the chamber
itselJ seemed to be on the most strained
terms, and who often hurl defiance at
one another across the narrow space
which separates the two hostile armies,
meet in the lobby and enter into
amicable conversation. 1t is here that
the 'blaek Tory" meets the New
Radicals" and as likely as not accosts
him with friendly smile. Men seem
glad to lay aside the garment
of partisanship for few minutes
in the lobby and the tea
and smoking rooms of the lower
house. See, there is MIR. Labouehere
conversing with Sir John Gorst. Both
are chatty and affable. Tim Healy has
just come up and joined them. and
presently Walter Long, like Sir John, a
member Of the government, comes up
and joins the trio for few moments.
Yet, in the house. likely enough, the
Liberal or the Nationalist member has
just been fiercely attacking the minis
try; while it is almost certain that the
member for Northampton will, in his
next platform speech, describe the action
of her majesty's government as detest-
able. Party politics is clearly a game,
and not an oyer serious one either.
