Some of the Ordinances of the Early) Governor and Council in the Days of the French * Regime «They Stow to What Extent Government Was Paternal. and. Couneil of Quebes in the days of the French regime, show to what extent the Government was paternal. For Instance, the In- tendant Roudot came to the convlu- sion that the people in and about Montreal, rafsed too inany horses, | which prevented them from raising cattle and sheep. He, therefore, com- wanded that no inhabitant should own more than two horses or mares, The people were glven a finfe within which to. dispose of their surplus horses, aftér which animals ia cxcess of the specified: | number would be killed. l { & Studebaker ~AOENT { Cole th $Bilby's Gar : y 2 age | Repairs and Kita.

With a view of promoting agriculinre and protecting the morals of the farmers by saving them from the temptations of the ditiak, he pro- claimed to them: "We prohibit and forbid you to remove to this town (Quebec) under any pretext what- ever without our permission in writ- ing, on pain of being expelled and sent back to your farms, your furnl- tore and goods confiscated, and a { fine of fifty livres laid on you for the | benefit of the hospitals; and firther- more, we forbid nll inhabitants of the city to let houses or rooms to per- sons coming from the coun on pain of a fine of one hundred also applicable to the h One of the problems of the econo mists of to-day is Bow to check the movement cltyward of the rural population--how to keep the people on the land. The problem is stil! un- solved, but, pressing us it is, it Is quite certain that our Government would not dare adopt Intendant Bi- got's drastic policy," which fs only possible under an autocratic ' rule tacked by edequdte power to enforce it without regard 'to the will of the people. That such gi ordintunce was possible shows what was the eondi~ "' -| tion of public affairs In Canada dun ing the days of thé old regime. "The spirit of absolutism," writes Parkman, "is everywhere apparent. In'regard to this very matter," writes the Intendant Meules. "It is of very great 'consequence that 'the people should not be left at liberty to speak their minds." One further instance of the point of view of thé Government that ruled Canada 'during those now long-ago years. In 1671 a resident of Quebes named Paul Dupuy was heard to say that there is nothing lke righting one's self, and that wheu the people of 'England cut off the head of King Charles I., they did a- good thing. This was twentystwo years after the | exeéeution of Charles at the close of war against Parliament. Dupuy was arrested and taken be- fore the Sovereign Cotncil. That body cared little about England's kings and had no reason for caring, but it held Dupuy guilty of speaking ill of royalty in the person of the King of England, and condemned him to be led In a shirt, with a rope about his neck, and a torch in his hadn, to the gate of the Governor's palace and there to.beg pardon for his words. From there he was to be taken to the pillory In the Lower Town to be branded on the cheek, and set in the stocks for half an hour; then to be led back to prison, and put in irons *'till the information against him shall be completed." Tale of a Tub. In "A Motor Tour Through Can- ada" the author tells this story, as it was told bim at the club in Regina, of a man who had been caught'by a cyelone while taking a bath, His bathroom was instantaneously demolished, and before he "could j scramble out of his tub he found himself sailing 'over the city on the breeze at a fifty knot clip. He was always a man of quick resources and ready expediency. That's why, ne 'doubt, the cyclone picked him out of the crowd. Anyhow, he never once | 'ost his présence of mind in spite of is Lady Godiva appearance, but he ized hold of the "hot and cold" taps with both hands and started steering his craft. Would you believe it, he found it answered the helm like a catboat, and he at once turned it a point or two so as to bring him to the waterworks. = There 'he de gcended, filled the tub again and calmly finished his interrupted bath? Loyalty That Failed Not. Tom Wallace, of Woodbridge, the heaviest man in the House of Com- mons, says that in the recent bye- election in South Bruco one old-timer from a little hamlet walked up to the polling booth and demanded a ballot, loudly declaring his intention of voting for John A. Macdonald. "But," sald the returning officer, "you can't vote for Sir John A. Mac- donald--he's dead long ago." "Well," retorted the native, "1 want to say that he's a better man dead than either Truax or Cargill alive." So he went In and spoiled his bal- lot.--Toronto Saturday Night. Canada Holds Record.

Pirst, there was an outer door with a small name plate. Then an inner door .with a big brass plate, and after this opened, ap- parently of its own volition in re- sponse to a ring at the bell, a long stairway loomed in view, which after being mounted, led into a hall of sim- flar length, which in its get up and furnishing resembled in a general way the entrance halls of ten.out of o dozen convents in Quebec. On the left of the hall were half a dozen or so of small rooms. On the right were other doors, which must have led to bigger rooms, and near dhe door of the stairway, was a short- ar hall which led straight to the front of the house, where there was a win- dow, with a couple of chairs in front of ft. "a Another stairway led to a flight above. To these chairs, the lady of the house, '"'the wonder," led the way without speaking, motioned the wvisi- tor to sit down, and sat down herself. She wore a house-dress, and did everything with a serious, half reli- gious mien, that was not exactly for- bidding, but might have been a lit- tle awe-inspiring 'to a timid person, 'especially one in not the best of phy- sical condition. She was of 'small build, of middle- age, grave of face, and grey of hair, and nothing in the appearance of her hands 'showed, their marvellous strength or wonderful cunning: Though French-Canadian, she ap- peared to understand English well, and spoke it. plainly. When told that the object of the visit 'was to write something about her. She was polite, but decisive. She did not wish any. publicity and that was all there was to it.' Plead- ing availed nothing and finally the reporter was bowed out. So except in athletic circlgs;, the affair ig still a mystery. 2 Masons Honored Centenarian.

On the other hand the robin, flicker, meadow-lark, and pormsyscpe ¥,- of summer birds never migrate on y. Wherever there is some extra meas- ure of shelter or some additional supply of food they remain. The service rendered by these birds is enormous. Red-polls and snow-birds in particular are invaluable as weed destroyers, it the snowfall has nét been a particularly heavy ome; the heads of thie taller weeds stick above the snow and the birds feed on thé seeds, thus preventing a spread of the plant, Many eof these winter birds live on the berries left hang- ing on the trees, the mountain ash berry, or the harry of the Northwest maple, or barberries being typical examples of the winter food of the common grosbeaks. . Many birds formerly migratory are now no logg- er 80. A notable instance of this Is the common crow, and the reason: he stays% that increased cultivation, i and particularly the custom of farm- ers of manuring their land in the winter leaves large quantities of grain on which the birds can feed. There is also the fact that unthresh- ed corn is often. stacked for the win- ter. The visits of northern birds are erratic and difficult to understand, sometimes one species appearing in great abundance and at other times some other species. Some six years ago the North of Canada jay, or Whiskey Jack, as it is called by the lumbermen, appeared here in large nimbers. This was their first record- ed appearance, in any quautity, sifice 1847, when the Hon. W. Allen 'ob served a similar visitation. 'Fhe northern birds particularly prevalent this winter are the pine grosbeaks, 'evening @rosbeaks, red- polls; and an unuspelly large nam- ber snow bunting or spow-birds as they are commonly ealled. It ap-' that the migration of birds is governed almost entirely by the quantity of available food, and if they able to get a sufficient quan- tity, and also shelter such aa that provided by evergreens, houses, or barns, the birds will remain.
