Their Holiday Season.

The mills at Oldham, England, shut
down the other night for wakes"
week. Every industrial town in
lancaster and the West Riding has
its wakes week; but the Oldham
wakes are the greatest of all. There
are more cotton spindles in Oldham
than in the whole of the United
States and of the 250,000 population,
to whom they give employment, two
thirds are now at the seaside or on
their way to the continent. Nowadays
the continental contingent is a big
one, and the Lancashire dialect Is
heard as far away as Geneva and on
the shores of Lake Como. Seven
thousand is no outside figure for those
who choose Paris as their objective.
A custom incident to the wakes week
is that of arranging weddings for
Wake Saturday, the first day of the
holiday and this year no fewer than
300 weddings were celebrated.

Growth Of Queenstown.

Queenstown, Ireland. where a new
dock was opened lately. is quite a
young town. In the early years of the
nineteenth century Cove of Cork, as 1t

Victoria in 1S49, when it was her first
landing place in Ireland, the town rap
idly increased in Importance and is
now a seaport, naval base and water

Theft Astonlshes caretakers.

A strange robbery of a cardinals
body has been committed in the st.
Fiacre chapel at Nancy, France. Two
cleaners in the church noticed that
the fiagstone of one of the tombs had
been displaced, and on further investi-
cation discovered that the tomb was
empty. 1t should have contained two
collins, that of Cardinal de Lorraine,
son of Charles ILL.,, duke of Lorraine,
and that of an army lieutenant, but
both had disappeared. Historians are
amazed at the disappearance of the
cardinals body, and no motive can be
attributed for the theft.

Dou DAYS.

Dog days is name given by the
ancient astronomers to the twenty
days after the rising of the Dog Star,
or Sirius, at present reckoned from
July to August II. II is a mere
accident that the rising Of Sirius falls
in the hottest season of the northern
year; in time 1t will be in the dead
of winter. But the anclents attribut-
ed the heat and the accompanying
diseases directly to the influence of
the star-as also in Egypt the highest
rising of the Nile.

Misplaced oratorleaI Flights.

Father Vaughan, speaking in Inver-
ness lately on the labor troubles said: ::
The optimist is teaching false phil
osophy, and the result must be dis
aster to the nation. On the other
hand, 1 see the pessimist mounting
his tower and unfurling his flag, and
shutting his eyes and looking down

almost as good as the statement Of
a Conservative orator on one occa-
