THE MAPLE LEAF The French-Canadians Had a Glorious Time in Honoring Their Patron Saint and Their National Day--The Radiance of the Colors Seen. A gala day in Quebec ! Such was Mongey, June 25th. The loyalty of the French-Canadian was a marked feature that struck an Ontarian who saw the demonstration in all its Hpieul uniqueness. The festival was that of St. Jean Baptiste, the na- tional saint of the people, 'and with it was ated a, patriotic display of the Canadian emblem, the mar le leaf.' No finer tribute could be paid to "our emblem dear" than that shown on Monday last, in the capital the province of That would Ontarians say if they were to see the whole population wearing maple leaves on their clothing, twirl ing the bright, green twig in their teeth, or carrying small clusters in their hands * The streets were lined with boughs of maples, a whole forest of them standing on the outside of the gidewalks, the limb being placed in a round hole in the walk and plug- ged in so that it would stand erect. The maple was used as widely for de- corative purposes as we, in this pro- vince, use the evergreen. And the sight was more pleasurable, for it meant a display of loyalty to Cana- dian institutions that stood forth as a remarkable object lesson to those who have sg often sneeringly referred to the disloyalty of our French com- patriots, Flags were flying everywhere; the Union Jacks and red, white and, blue streamers gaily swung in the breeze from hundreds of dwellings, stores and institutions. A cynical person would say the tri-colors predominated; that they outnumbered the Jacks, but a little thought would convince one that this was due to the similarity of the colors of the French and the Canadian and many a gallant French housewife who made the streamers did so, only thinking of her "own dear land, her native land," Quebec, the citadel and strong defence of Canada. Johnny Batiste was out for enjoy: ment on the holiday and with music and firecracker he spent a happy time. The opportunity was also given of sceing the people in best attire, The French-Canadians are surprisingly fond of color, and certainly the wo. men outrivalled * the rainbow in the i ess of tints. The bluest of blue, the pinkiest 'of pink, and the gautliest of reds were seen, and 'vave a touch of fascination to any stranger whose .Jife had been spent in places where more subdued colors were in vogue. And by the way, the com- bination of colors is displayed every- where. The Quebecer 'is fond cf variety. The houses have a rich adornment of red with yellow stripes, or blue and white; if he cannot get the paints, then he uses white wash with a lavishoess that makes his home, barns and fences stand out with prominence amid the ever-present wealth of green that at this time of year graces the shores of the mighty St. Lawrence and abounds in forests that cap the hills and ranges which back the settlements. Baby carriages catch the prevailing love of color, a red baby carriage with bright yellow wheels fits in well with the girl in her black selesia, and her hat, with all the tints of summer time and laces galore. And a pretty French lass, dark-eyed and dark-haired, loves a hat of large proportions and trimmed "out of sight' as a sgall boy would say. She simply is a kaleidoscope of color, and flashing about in the sun- shine with glossy shoes, tied with wide bands of ribbon, is certainly a joy, and one would imagine a joy for ever. And children ! The homes are full of them, some even tumbling out of the windows, The streets are full of their merry voices as they romp about the narrow lanes, and give the visitors almost nervous prostration as they see them dodge the street car, the celeche and the French cart. The French love of uniform and dis- play was evidenced in the procession to mark the festival. There were scores of societies, led by bands, the mem- bers of these wearing flashy uniforms. The bands played gay tunes, and the marching was quite fine. The big hills about the city did not daunt the par- aders; they scaled them as easily as we do the incline up Princess atreet. The feast day had been begun with re- ligious services and patriotic addresses outside of one of the St. Jean Bap- tiste church, in Lower Town. The af ternoon was given over to sports, and an outing on the Dufferin terrace, the rendezvous of all classes. i The event was marked by good feel- ing and quite happily commemorated an occasion which gave outsiders an opportunity to see aud appreciate the devotedness, and loyalty of the peo+ ple to their land, and tended greatly to give strength and force to the de- claration of many speakers in past days that the French-Canadians were a sadly misunderstood people, in 80 Yar as their declured views upon patriotism were concerned. The writer was impressed by all he observed; by the simple watural loyalty evidenced, and by the ardor and zeal displayed in letting the world see by emblem, decoration and sign that Canada, its unity and advancement, were matters that claimed their loyal support and heartiest commendation. The French holiday typified the loyalty of the le in a strong, fervid way. Davies' Ceylon Teas. Best value to the consumer in Can- ada, 40c. onality for 25¢. Ib.

Merrill Ricketts of Cincin- nati, whose paper on the restoration of life by compression of the heart at- ter it has ceased beating, read at the meeting of the American Medical As- sociation in Boston, on June 6th, cre- ated a sensation, says a person who had been dead twenty minutes, and was brought back to life by manipu- lation of the heart. J "The heart has actually been stim- ulated, to action one or two days af- ter death," said the doctor, "yet one or two minutes after the cessation of the heart is time enough to justify a physician in opening the chest and squeezing the heart, much as one would a sponge, to renew its action. "I'he class of cases in whith this manipulation of the heart to renew life is especially applicable is where ether or chloroform has been adminis- tered, where there has heen an inhala- tion of illuminating gas, in cases of shock from fright, injury or surgical operation, drowning, electrocution, strangulation loss of blood or proba- yin many cases of disease or the administration of 'drugs. : : "The results in all cases are influ- enced by prompt and skilled atten- tion, the quantity -ef blood lost, time and the cause of the suspended heart friction, mutilation of the body and general care. "We have taken twenty-five dogs and chloroformed them until the heart ceased to beat. Then the chest was op- ened and the heart taken in the hand and squeezed about sixty times to the minute. In about seventy-five per cent. of the animals the heart was made to beat again." Dr. Ricketts will probably find him- self the objects of much discussion for his urgent" plea that criminals con- demned to death or to ten years or more imprisonment be offered the choice of commutation if they an- nounce themselves willing subjects for experiments of this sort. He says : "We now know of sixty prisoners in the penitentiaries who are lifp prison- ers, who are willing to be electrocut- ed and so experimented with, provid: ed that if resuscitated their freedom be given to them." Summing up, Dr. Ricketts says that the total number of men operated up- on for cardise stimulation is thirty- nine, and of these twelve recovered permanently, and in nineteen of the cases the heart beat from one minute to twenty-four hours after death fin- ally came. The heart has been made to beat as long as two and one-half hours after the cessation of ite pulsa- tions. The longest time on record of cessation of the heart' after which it was restored or re-established perm- anently is twenty minutes, She-- GANANOQUE NEWS. Accident to An Employee--Police Court Case.
