For vears United States tourists visiting the Citadel at Quebec have cast e vious eyes on an old cannon which is kept there as a relic, and which bears the inscription: "Ci red by the British army at Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775." It seem to have been one of the four cannon which constituted the whole train of ficld artillery pos- sessed by the colonies at the com- mencement of the war in 1775. The gun at Elizabeth, N.J., was cast in eusbiy in 1758, and was sent by Louis X King of France, to Canada for the defence of Quebec.

Btrange would be the state of a family in which one of these should be wife ar 1 mother. The men alone make the laws because they alone can uphold them. The men alone de- clare war because they alone can fight. Men, as a rule, regulate the family, though with women as their helpmates, because as a rule it is their duty to maintain it.
