The Custom. O. the Country.

There was once a Newfoundland fish erman-he chanced to be Catholic who in old age came to die. He had lived in debt all his life and, no doubt, had never once given his whole catch to the dealer who supplied him, but had wrongfully slipped many quintal over the side of a rival schooner and traded it out on the spot.
 "Send for Fawther Rafferty," he said. Send immediatew
 He wanted to confess his sins, to be shriven and to depart in peace, but his old priest had been transferred to Trinity Bay. A young man, just back from Rome, was now the spiritual head of the parish.
 "Sure, 'tis Fawther Codlin," they told him.
 "Noa noaw the old man protested. "Fawther Codlin's fine young man a clever young man, doubt me not, but 'tis old Fawther Rafferty I wants t hear me confession"
 "An' why?" they asked.
 "Sure," the dying man gasped "he knows the customs O the country."- Norman Duncan in Worlds Work.

4 Rocking Shrine.

The most wonderful temple in the world is built on a rocking stone on the summit of mountain in northern India which is over 10000 feet high. The rock weighs many thousands of tons, but Is balanced on so fine point that comparatively light pressure Is sufficient to make it sway. Hindoo priests teach their followers that this rock was placed in position by the help of the gods, and thus they add consid- srably to the feeling of awe which they desire to create.
 Worshipers at this shrine must first make perilous ascent of the noun tain. Then they spend seven days of preparation in a temple built on the solid mountain before they are permit ted to make the final passage to the mysterious rocking stone. To reach this 1t Is necessary to cross q bridge over great chasm, for nature and man have combined to make this Hin doc shrine difficult of access. After crossing the bridge the pilgrim mounts a ladder, to which he cings in terror for his life here and in the hereafter The temple on the rock is necessarily small Three priests ofiiciate there, but it's mysteries no man Is permitted to reveal. Europeans have seen 1t only from distance.

1t Exceeds the Carrying Power OF al
Electric Plant Of 10000 Volts
Ten Times Over,

Few people have any understanding
of the descriptive power of severe
bolt of lightning. The figures quoted
convey little, even when one is told
that at the present time the limit Of
carrying power Of an electric plant is
electricity at 10000 volts, one-tenth
If that of heavy lightning bolt, says
an electrical authority.
Perhaps a truer conception is to be
gained from the story Of an old Long
Island resident, who admits being
very fond Of squirrel hunting, and
says: ''In piece Of clear woods near
where I lived several years ago was
an enormous white oak tree several
feet through at the stump, and spread
ing over half an acre Of ground. Under
certain conditions I could always
count on finding fox squirrel in that
tree, and knew every limb of it.
"One morning, after tremendous
thunder storm, in which we all had no
ticed mighty thunder bolt, visited
this tree. Only pile Of; broken brush.
wood and thousands of little splinters
scattered all over the ground for the
distance of several hundred feet all
around marked where this giant OF the
forest had stood. Some explosive
force had torn the roots out until there
was hole in the ground eight feet
deep and ten feet across.
"That one bolt of electricity had
torn that tree to pieces in a way that
ten woodsmen working an entire
week could not have accomplished.

New Trial is Denied

:. John II. DAVIS, Of Grand Marais, will
probably have togo to prison Tor seven
years Tor grand larceny sint the first
degree. His attempt to ret new trial,
and to have his Indictments quashed,
on the ground of 4 defect in the draw
ing OF the grand and petit jury panels
having failed. ..., ::
Davis was convicted of grand larceny
in the first degree on two indictments
at the Cook county term of court re-
Gently. s. F. White, his attorney, OBJ
jected to the jury panels on the ground
that when the county commissioners re.
turned the panel to the clerks Office,
the auditor, who was clerk of the COM
mission, did not affix his seal as auditor.
on this ground he asked that the in
dictment be quashed, and when the
defendent was convicted, he asked for a
new trial.
The matter came before Judge Cant
Saturday, and both the motions we're
denied, the court holding that the au-
ditor's failure did not invalidate the
jury panels.

Interesting to Grand Marais.

The Duluth News Tribune, of July Is,
has an article on 'tNew Railroad in Cook
County," We extract tho following:
"The Pigeon River Lumber Company,
which has obtained a charter for con-
structing a railroad in Cook county from
up near the international boundary to
Lake Superior, will make it's surveys
this season and will probably construct
the greater portion of the road during
the coming winter.
"That the road is to be built at once,
however, is apparently we'll established.
1t is not yet known whether it will strike
Lake Superior at Grand Marais or
further east on the North Shore. From
one very reliable source it is learned
that the company seriously considers
Grand Marais as the lake terminus, It
will be standard guaee road and un-
doubtedly permanent one.

LATE FASHION NOTES.
Pretty Features of the Smart Modes,
Popular Costume Designs and
Other F'inery.

That fashions are undergoing mate
rial changes is shown by the tenden-
cies toward very full skirts, bouffant
sleeves and sashes Of Powered ribbon,
says the Delineator. Nearly all the
new modes are in SOME way character
lied by the stole effects, and, tucks, in
some form or other, are introduced in
many designs.
Linen gowns are conspicuous among
the smartest modes, and those who de-
sire novelty in these costumes will take
advantage of what are termed the
knickerbocker designs. Mercerized eff
fects are a feature not only Of the new
lines, but of almost the entire array Of
summer fabrics.
Very popular is the shirt waist cos
tune, which is fashioned in silk, light
woolens and wash goods, the decora-
ton depending largely upon individual
taste. Waists and skirts of the same
material are more fashionable than
when made of different goods.
Foulard silks, tussore silks and pom
gees are more in evidence than ever.
and the new shirt waist materials sur
pass anything previous seasons have
produced.
Lace is now embellished with an
other decoration or lined with chiffon,
soft silk or satin to make it more eff
fectiye. The popularity of antique
laces is remarkable.
BraldS were never so attractive as
they are this season; the fiber or vege-
table braidis especiallyfashiona
The dainty dresses of sheer fabrics
for summer wear will be characterized
by lingerie tucks and lace insertion.
