Canon Desgranges, while on a visit to Montreal. He also referred to the awakening of Catholic senti- ment amongst the bettér families-and to-day a good many of the sons of the best families of the Republic are recruiting for the priesthood. The question was put to the Canon as regards the future form of government for his mother land, and he said that he did not look for the restoration either of the monarchists, as repre- sented by the Duke of Orleans, or of the Empire, as represented by Prince Victor Bonaparte. The idea of a priestly life in France, he added, is not to play a part in political affairs, but to loyally serve the Government of the peoples’ choice. Catholics do demand, however, the re- opening of relations with the Vatican, as the present state of affairs places the Catholic Church of France at a great disadvantage alongside those of Germany and other countries. The relations of the Catholic people with church property, he considered, should be modified. The Canon cited the case of Quebec, where the Protest. ants have their own schools and the Catholics theirs. ‘ There is an indication, he said, that the directing minds of the French Re. public are coming to see thabthe state cannot live independently of the Church, and that religion is absolute- ‘ly necessary to the soul. He believed in fact, that men like Poincare, Ribot, ‘_ Briand and many others, admit this "truth, although they will not avow it openly. RECGRB STENE dildRRlEfl Excavators in Syria Find 1,500-Ton Stone What is said to be the largest stone ever quarried is a great monolith in the ruins of Baalbec, in Syria. It is 69 feet long, 14 feet broad and 17 feet deep, and is estimated to weigh 1,500 tons. It is thought by archaeological scholars that this, huge stone was in- tended by the ancient builders to adorn the Temple of the Sun, nearby ~now, of course, in ruins. Herein is a wall which careful measurements show to be 63 feet long and 13 feet high. And, more remark- able still, the stones are placed in position 19 feet above the ground level. Moreover, although no sign of any cementing mixture is to be found in these ancient buildings, the stones have been squared and polished so evenly that only after the most min- ute search can the joints be found, and when traced it is impossible to thrust the blade of a pocket knife be- .tween them. Women Travel Alone "“More and more women are travel- “ling alone every year,"- said the mana- ger of a big‘travel agency. “Every- thing is made so easy nowadays that discomfort is reduced to a minimum. “A woman can go round the world today, and. can be under supervision the whole time if she cares to." Women are becoming as enterpris- ing travellers as men. These are some of the latest exploits: Mrs. Blount penetrated to the heart of the Dark Continent. ‘ } Countess Molitor now crossing the Great Desert of South Arabia alone. Miss Edith A. Brownenow proceed- ing through the vast depths of the great Amazon forests. Miss Werner who has lived among the native races of the East African protectorate. I A Lucky Chance “A short time ago,” writes a corres- pondent from Vernon, B.C., "a neigh- bor of mine was asleep in his shack at daybreak one morning, when he was awakened by a scratching at the door and on having roused himself was surprised to see a, black bear push his way into the shack. There was a loaded .22beside his bunk. Reaching out for this he took a shot at Bruin. By a lucky chance he killedhlm dead mu thus was brought to an end a racy oluliqarraqqigfimatador»:O ‘FITCHSNG or "CAMP -A Space ls Scam Three or Four g...â€" Here_is how R, J. Fraser, a traveller l ' in Northern Canadian climes, describes I Queen "pitching the camp": I The ._moment the bait is called there ensues a scene ofhustle and activity. Your Indian in winter is a far difierent being from the shift- less, indifferent loafer who lies about the summer Wigwam. He must exert himself or freeze. As it is nearly sunset all hands must make the most 'of the, short twilight minutes. Snow- shoes are kicked off and used as shovels. A space only large enough to accommodate the members of the party when stretched a.t,_full length, side by side, is scooped out to a depth of three or four feet. Some of the men fell nearby trees, and a three- foot barricade is built to windward. While the others are scattered about the woods felling and gathering fire- wood, the guides carpet the interior of the camp with spruce boughs. Then, as the firewood comes in, they pile it in front of the shelter, crib fashion, the full length of the camp. For kindling, the top of a. dead spruce can- not be beaten, and quickly the huge pile of resinous wood is lit, at b..-th ends and in the middle. In a few minutes there is a aroaring blaze, breast-high, that drives one back- to the bottom of the camp. With his mittened hands he is forced to sh-ie‘ld his frost-bitten face from, the terrific heat. and yet, at the same time, he back, exposed to the north, is freez- ing. When a sufficient quantity of wood has been gathered for the night, and one must not neglect to include a supply for the breakfast fire, the drivers drop their axes and give a. little attention to their dogs, now well cooled off and shivering in their hare nose. The wearied brutes. are released from the laden toboggans, and tied to convenient trees, out of _reach of each other. Were they allowed to roam untethered, there would be but little sleep for the travller. The night would be one continual battle amongst the savage brutes, and when the wolf- blood surged uppermost trapper and hunter might easily fall prey to the ‘ half;starved “huskies.” iii The Bell Telephone Company of Can- ula is soon to printa new issue of its Oilicial Telephone Directory for the listrict including FENELON FALLS Parties who Comteanplate becoming Subscribers, or those who wish changes in their present; entry should place their orders with the local manager at once to insure insertion in this issue Connecting Companies Should also report additions and changes in their list of subscribers, either to the local manager, or direct to the Advertising and Directory Depart- ment, Montreal, ' V THE BELL TELEPHOiiE Cflhli‘dlil - 0F CAlillfili BSSEEEfiS COLLEGE Yonge & McGill Sis., T(-ronto,0ut.. is the pioneer high grade Business I School of Canada.

For-the last few years the coral fishermen of Torre del Greco, near Naples, have had bad times. No one wanted the red stone They appealed to the and the consequence was that at ‘a Court ball at the Quirinal, in- stead of the magnificent pearl neck- lace which she uSually wears, Queen Helena wore round her neck six rows of coral, and her beautiful hair was crowned with a diadem of diamonds and coral. Coral at once became the fashion. Old coral ornaments that have siumbered 1301' years in their“ cases are beingfurbished up, and the jewellers are being besieged with Or- ders for the blood-red stones. Queen Helena's kindness. has succeeded, and the fishermen of Torre d'el-Greco are happy again. of the s'eas.
