ARE THE LONGEST DAYS.

Tie following list shows the dura-
ton Of the longest day in various
places all over the world: New York
mas, SO to say, the shortest longest day,
which is about fifteen hours long,
while in Montreal it is sixteen and
London and Bremen each bask in a
sixteen and one-half hours length of
day, closely followed by Hamburg and
Dantzig with thirty minutes more
The longest day in Stockholm lasts
eighteen and one-half hours, but both
st. Petersburg and TObolsk, Siberia, go
one better with day Of exactly nine
teen hOurs-and their shortest, five
hours. June p brings to Tornea.
Finland, summer day nearly twenty
two hours long-and Christmas day
TWO and one-half hours only. (How I'M
fortunate are the children of Tornea,)
The foregoing lengthy days, how
ever, are easily left behind by Ward
burg, Norway, which boasts of a day
lasting without break from May 81 to
July p, but even this is surpassed by
Spitzbergen, understandable dictui-
the longest day is something like three

Fond du Lac, Wis, August H.
Bishop Charles c. Grafton, who has
been spending the last two months in
the east, has just made a present to the
Fond du Lac parish Of $25, 900, the cash
and securities having already arrived.
Yesterday there was received from the
bishop another $25, 900 gift, which is
to be used in charging Grafton hall.
Work will be begun at once on the
main wing Of the building.
The wardens and vestry of the parish
held meeting Immediately on receipt
of the magnificent gift and adopted
resolutions thanking the bishop for it
and asking lis preference as TO the dis
position of the funds. An answer was
received and the amount will be used
as follows: The floating Indebtedness
Of the parish will first be taken up.
This includes a debt on the cathedral,
a debt on the pipe organ, the cost Of
which was $4,000, a debt on the canon's
house and the purchase price of the
Dittmar property, which was recently
added to the parish grounds. The total
floating Indebtedness as thus described,
amounts to some $4,000. Of the
amount remaining $4,000 is to be used
to cover the old wooden school building
with stone. The balance is to form
permanent endowment fund and to-
gether with a previous gift made by the
bishop of $4,000 and some other funds,
will leave the Fond du Lac parish free
from Indebtedness and with cash bal
ance to it's credit of nearly $4,000.
Naturally the parishioners and in
fact all the people of Fond du Lac are
delighted at the munificence of the gift
and at the suspicious outlook for the
parish. Bishop Grafton during his ten
years as bishop of this diocese has been
untiring in his efforts for the upbuild-
ing of Fond du Lac and the Fond du
Lac diocese He has given literally Of
his means both here and throughout
the diocese and it is doubtful if there is
diocese in the United States with
more Jealous or more effective worker
at it's head. Arrangements are now
under way for the conservation of the
cathedral next June at the twenty-fifth
anniversary of the organization of the
diocese.

BIGGEST HEAD IN THE WORLD.

A man with the biggest head in the
world was sent from Bellevue hospital
to the city hospital on BlackwelPs is
land the other day, says the New York
World.
The man with the phenomenal head
is James Menut, % years old He was
taken to Bellevue Friday by his sister,
Mrs. Emily B. Gerry.
The head of the normal man meas
ures about % inches in circumference.
Menut's head measures 51B inches, or
nearly two and half times as much
as the average masculine head.
Recently the Bellevue doctors per-
formed an operation on child afflicted
with insanity. Menut has been an
idiot since infancy. His sister, Mrs.
Gerry, read Of the operation on the
child, and took her brother there in the
hope that an operate could be per
formed that would restore his reason
Owing to the mans peculiar physical
construction, the doctors determined
to place him under observance for sew
eral days before attempting the oper-
alton.
Menut is a dwarf, four feet one inch
tall. The circumference of his head is
more than two inches greater than his
extreme height.
From his waist up he is proportional
on gigantic lines, having a breadth of
shoulder and depth of chest greater
than Jeffries, the champion puglist
But his legs are grotesquely short and
very thin.
Menut was placed in ward 10, which
is tenanted by patients suffering from
ordinary maladies.
Menut was very quiet in the daytime,
but in the late hours Of the night he
got into the habit of stealing out OF HIS
cot and wandering about the ward
He would go up to a sleeping patient
and pinch his fingers or tickle his toes
and awaken him and say:
you're it," or "You can't lose me-"
and scamper back to his bed.
This practice drove several patients
into mysteries. Waking out Of a sound
sleep in the dead of the night, they saw
lowering over them the strange figure
in a white night-shirt, with the mon
strous head, the herculean shoulders
and the 1fliputian legs.
The first time the patients Of ward Is
saw Menut was in The middle Of the
night, and the superstitious almost
died Of fright.
AS it was impossible to restrain him,
the doctors concluded to send him TO
the Blackwell's Island hospital.

what larger proportions, as such az

breeches, white silk stockings, shoes
with diamond buckles, a white waist
coat and velvet smoking jacket, up
on the breast of which dangled the
Order Of Charles Y and the Golden
Fleece. Seeing a certain shade of
emotion passing over the company, the
young Pretender stepped up to the
hostess and apologized for having
come so attired. He expected only to
meet a few friends, and so had drop
ped in without changing the dress
which is his custom to wear for din
ner in the family circle.-St. James

Storm in Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. PA severe wind and
rain storm passed through Chicago last
evening and did considerable damage
to the down town district and harbor.
The storm came from the northwest

wind blew so strong that many feared
a cyclone might occur. Signs were
blown down, awnings torn down, win
dows blown in and everything loose
picked up and carried long distances
The storm played havoc with the tele-
graph and telephone wires, especially
in the down town portion of the city.
Damage in Michigan.
Bessemer, Mich, Aug. PA fierce

ness. The damage will be several
