IN OLD QUEBEC| SHROUDED IN ICE. Vivid Description by a British Banker "A CHRISTMAS DAY IN OLD| A urugraph has been going the CAPITAL Where the Great White Chief Lay Dying--A Story of the Early | Settlement--His Child-Bride's | Name Perpetuated. Written For the Whip, It was Chnistmas day in Old Quebec. Twenty years of continual efiort had not made the rocky clifis habitable, and what had been done in that time had been lost when the dauntless founder had been sent back to France on the capture of Canada by Sir David Kirke years before. During his three years of exile the settlement on which his heart was set had fallen away and only a few rude cottages surrounded the weakened citadel. He had returned in 1632, with another ex- pedition sent by Richelieu in a heroic attempt at successful colonization, but the labours of the intrepid explorer, sad hearted and broken in health, were at last at an end. Samuel de Cham- plain lay dying. In October the end had begun in a paralytic seizure, and now in a rude chamber in the fort, at- tknded by two missionaries of his faith the soul of the great navigator was passing away. Without the citadel a few soldiers. and settlers went about their daily tasks, and some friendly Indians, pass- ing to and fro, glanced curiously at the building where the great white chief lay dying. Inside steps and voices were hushed in rough tenderness for the one who lay quiet and unheed- ing on the curtained bed. There was little attempt at comfort or luxury in the bare chamber, but his was not the indulgent, 'seli-loving nature to which these were necessary. The two Jesuit fathers watched beside him, as they re peated the prayers for the passing soul. All was done that could * be done. It was now not even a ques- tion of hours. No woman's hand soothed his pillow, for none there was. Dame Hebert, the pioneer woman of the settlement, who had braved the vears of English rule when the soldiers and missionaries had been sent home to France, had done all that woman could do, and the sufferer was now alone. Was he conscious ? None knew. PerMaps his mind, cleared by ap proaching dissolution, dwelt on the ad- venture and enterprises of his active life. Perhaps the beautiful face of his child wife, now immured in the Old World convent, flitted before his gaze. iright, bewitching Helene, the adora- tion of the Indians, during her four vears of Canadian life. He saw her first as in her childhood's home, when thirty vears her senior, he had asked the hand of the twelve-year-old maiden whose fair face and sunny ways had shone as a star in his life. Then after his years of waiting, in 1620, this child of luxury disembarked among a few dirty half clad Indians, and with her three maids, took up her residence in the neglected, half-ruined habita tion that hushand's in the land of exile. Or did he see her on that last age homeward, when loneliness ill health made it necessary to take her again to France, where her en- thusiasm for her newly-adopted faith impelled her to enter a convent as a nun ? During the last ten years of his lonely life, this fascinating vision had been banished in order that the spirit of endurance might he maintained, but there was no need for that now. The sturdy zealous soul was passing away and the fair face looked out from a sombre coif. Their lives together had not been serene, but a purer, holier life was near. The eyes of the dying man opened again and in the future saw a vision of light, the lips parted in a last mur- mur, "Helene, Helene." Then the light went out and the great Champlain was dead® In "an unknown, unmarked grave rest the remains of Quebec's founder, but Isle de St. Helene, at Montreal perpetuates the name of his beautiful child-bride. was her home voy and Convention In Styles.

He gives his reasons for believing that this terrilic upreared mountain of billions upon billions of tons of solid ice, towering high in the upper 'regions of the air, will in the course of time break down, and over- whelm the entire earth in one vast irozen shroud. "Although, of course, we know that in the age preceding the present a ca- tastrophe of that character took place, known as the glacial era, when irom some unexplained cause the polar ice overspread the greatet part of Europe and North America; yet it must surely be a fatuous and extra- vagant idea to conceive that this en- tire globe will soon be sepulchred in ice, and transformed into a: dead world, enwrapped from pole to pole in a vast frozen winding sheet. But though it were idle to specu- late on this contingency, vet we ma\* carry our thoughts back to that somewhat far-ofi epoch when a similar fate befell so large a portion of the earth's surface, and of which, to this day, so many indisputable vestiges re- main. England at the time was an al- most tropical country. Lions, rhino- ceroses, hippopotami, hyaenas, and other tropical or sub-tropical animals roamed over the country (the present race of man had not yet been crea- ted), and palms and tree ferns flour- ished in abundance. But suddenly the temperature begins to fall, and in the far distance is heard the dull mur- mur of a continuous crashing sound, caused by the vast bergs and tower- ing ice-clifis striking the northern coasts. And: as the lofty' frozen mountains oi the far north collapse one after the other, impelling the huge floating bergs before them, they in their turn being thrust forward over the land with titanic force, the whole country is soon devastated, and almost all life destroyed. The valleys opening north are transformed into great broad streams of mighty blocks of moving ice, heaped and tossed about in confusion as the ter- rific forces in their rear continue to impel them forward, and grinding channels and striae in the mountain sides, which remain to this day as silent witnesses of the tremendous icy cataclysm. : And still the glacial invasion con- tinues; the chains of hills are sur- mounted, great detached bergs bound- ing down their southern slopes; the land is hidden beneath its icy pall (which in North Europe, it is proved, attained a thickness of 6,000 feet), the English channel is reached, and still the ice advances, covering the greater part of France, and threaten- ing to immolate the world. But at length the ice-surge is stayed; gradu- ally succumbs before the solar warmth; and the fair face of the land once more resumes its beauty. dn That Little Prayer. Every boy and girl in this country, no doubt, knows the words of the lit- tle prayer beginning "Now 1 lay me down to sleep'; that is to say, they can repeat the words correctly when asked to do so. But only a few of cor- rectly. That seems a queer statement to make, for if they know the words, why can't they write them ? Let us see. If they were asked to write the prayer, this is probably the way they would do it: "Now I lay me down to sleep, 1 pray the Lord my soul to keep; If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take." Isn't that the way you would write it 7 Of dourse; and yet it is wrong. So far as sound goes, it is all right; and that, and alittle thoughtlessness, have given rise to 'the error to which we desire to call your attention. Here is the correct version : "Now 1 lay me down to sleep, 1 pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep; 1f I should die before I wake, 1 pray Thee, Lord, my_ soul to take. " Now you see the difference, don't vou ? This is a real prayer; the other is merely a declaration. You should not say, '"l pray the Lord," but '1 pray Thee, Lord." The first time you have a little com pany at your house, introduce this question, and see how many of them will write the words correctly. Per- haps the result will surprise you.

Ottawa, Dec. 20.--Queen Alexandra is a lover of yule-tide customs, for she is the daughter of the land where many of them originated, and was reared in a home where Christmas was the occasion oi the year. The family gathering has of late years included their majesties' grandch:ldren, ana be- neath the holly-decked walls "Gran- ny' has waved her wand for them, and there have been merry-makings ar- ound the yule log with/bonnie Prince Edward as king of the revels. But it is not only to children of her line that the queen is fairy grandmother at the noel-tide; the children of the royal es- tates are always remembered and at Sandringham gathered yearly to the number of five hundred at a Christ- mas feast. The various children's hos- pitals in which she is interested, are always remembered at this season. Last year chocolates, books and toys were sent to the Maiden Vale Home, and aiterwards during a cinemato- graph entertainment, when a realistic picturelol the queen appeared one lit- tle voice piped out "'lhank you for the chocolates." On one visit when her majesty was distributing the toys herseli a sweet little baby girl was very particular about the one which she deigned to accept from the royal hands, and the queen went to very great trouble to please the fastidious infant. The fact that the toys had once belonged to her majesty's own children weighed nothing with the ba- by, who would have only what suited her fancy, and was very difficult to please. Un the day before Christmas a royal omnibus visits the different children's hospitals and leaves its bur- den of toys, books, chocolates and other giits from the gracious and be- loved donor. . . 0» Lord and Lady Minto expect to en- tertain a large house party for the Christmas season. The Countess of Antrim, with her sons Viscount Dun- luce and Hon. Angus McDonnell are already here, with Mr. and Miss How- ard and Miss Lampton, who came in their party. Hon. Lionel Guest, who acted as A.D.C. last winter and Mrs. Dodge of New York, who was also here last season are also expected. Lady Antrim's Irish home is at Glen- arm Castle in Larne, looking towards Scotland from the north-west coast of County Antrim. Her sons are fine, tall, good-looking youths, typical En- glish boys. Miss Howard is a fair- haived little English' girl, the daugh- ter of Lord Antrim's sister, Lady Ma- bel Harriet McDonnell, who married Henry Charles Howard, one of the Duke of Norfolk's family. Their home is at Greystocke Castle, Penrith. - - - - With the opening of the skating sea- son in Ottawa, have been noticed a number of very smart skating cos- tumes, and many have departed from the vivid and startling hues of the last season, though bright colors are still in vogue. One of 'Lady Minto's ar- tistic costumes was of a soft green pastel cloth, with a scroll work ap- plique, piped in black, a mink tocue with soit satin crown and large flufiy white furs. Black Persian caps and jackets have been worn with crab pink suits by the Ladies Eileen and Ruby Elliot. One very chic suit seen recent- lv on a fair-haired graceful girl was of fawn corduroy, unrelieved by any brightening touch, and with toque and furs to match. Another dark-eved beauty, with a tall willowy figure and a flower-like face wore a simple gown of red, with huge white beaver hat. Black with applique of white outlining the jacket made an effective suit, while green velvet was very becoming to a blonde. Another charming figure was in grey with a touch or so of mauve, large grey picture hat and grey furs. At a recent party at government house, the weather was very cold and the members of the vice-regal partv wore large white clouds. These sensi- ble and becoming articles were much in vogue some years ago in (Canada, especially when the Duchess of Arovll was mistress of Rideau Hall, but had fallen into disuse. Last year they sev- eral times made their appearance, and their use so early in the season this vear seems to prophecy their gradual adoption - * - - - Probably few Christmas shoppers gre aware that most of the beautiful bas- kets mow being shown inthe stores ave 'made in Germany,"" and probably few would 'give the matter a second thought if they did. But to those who know that the Canadian Indians are losing the r wonderful skill in basket- making, as well as in many other arts for want of a little guidance in ad- opting it to modern uses and placing the products upon the market, it is truly lamentable to see the stores fill- ed with German baskets. Yet there can be no doubt that the Indian wares would find a ready sale, if brought within the reach of the purchasing public, for this has been the result wherever the experiement has been tried. Through the efforts of the Cath- olic Indian association," a line of sweet grass and birch-bark trifles suit- able for Christmas have been introduc- vd into one of the Ottawa stores, and are in great demand, and the Wom- en's Art Association of Montreal, has been equally successful in efforts similar kind. In the United States there has been a great development of Indian industries, through the efforts of the various Indian societies, and there is no reasop why the same thing could not be done in Canada. » - - - Christmas philanthropy is always a little irritating to thoughtful per sons, and even though we could be assured that everyome was supplied with a good dinner for this festal oc- casion, the fact would afford little satisfaction to those who have a tal- ent for remembering that there are 361 other days of the vear, and that meals cannot 'be omitted on any of them. The provision of dinners more- over, is not the only wav of exercising benevolence, and if the philanthropic to do their Christmas shopping early, even at the expense of some of the dinners, perhaps they would be con: ferring an equal benefit on society. of a° = FROM THE TO THE TABLE. AS REPORTED FOR THE TORONTO WORLD. The domam ot cook and house- keeper has been invaded by the makers of prepared foods for breakfast, pre- pared foods for dinner, prepared foods for supper. The invalid has his pre- pared foods and the well man has his prepared foods. These are generally and generously advertised. They are artistically and inartistically present- ed through the usual mediums. It matters continue, the cook, like Othel- lo, will "find her occupation departed." But right here a great mistake Is being made, as it is generally acknow- ledged by the medical profession that prepared or pre-digested foods are not beneficial to the human system. |, It is difficult from among the le- gions of "Foods" to decide which have the happy combinations of health-giv- ing and taste-satisfying qualities. e whole question is one of research, in- vestigation and equipment. In regard to the general merits and the relative merits of Breakfast Foods, there is no better authority in Canada than the firm of P. McIntosh & Son, of the well-known "Crown Mills," Toronto. Mr. K. Mc- Intosh represents the third generat of Food Manufacturers in this Com- pany, so that it can be readily under- stood that their products have long .since passed the experimental stages. It is long since they reached the era of success. WHAT MR. McINTOSH SAYS. "Mr. McIntosh gave your correspond- ent a most interesting sketch of the history of their business and some valuable insight into the history and Tyetery of food-making. Summarized, e says: -- "We have a large number of Break- fast Foods on the market; we do not say, however, that ours are exclusively valuable, but would say that a great number of the foods that are sold have no especial merit. To begin with, the principal cereals, Wheat, Corn and Oats, have distinc- tive properties. All three are nutri- tious, but the composition differs in kind and proportion, and to produce satisfactory results each one required years of study. THERE MUST BE CHEMICAL KNOWLBEDGE.--A full understanding of chemical values, combined with an equally full knowledge of what the human body requires for its susten- ance, what elements are tissue mak- ers and body builders; tuents feed the tissue, the nerves, the hlood, and the bone, is essential. We know, Mr. McIntosh said, that here we are stepping over into the field of the Physiologist--«<he Physician if you lilke--but it is his investigations and his conclusions that govern us in ---------- _ ! As that is too much to expect, how- ever, it is pleasant to note a few at- tempts to make the lot of the shop girl a little more tolerable at this time. One such enterprise is the open- ing of an "evening rest," at the King's Daughters Guild, Ottawa. The Guild rooms are open every day for a "noon vest," and during the Christ- mas season there will be another "rest" from five to seven, and hot tea and coffee, chocolate and soup will 'be served with bread and butter if- de- sired, the remainder of the meal be- ing brought by the guests themselves. - » - - semi-annual executive meeting of the National Council of Women will be held in Ottawa, about the same time as the opening of parlia- ment. The principal business of the mid-winter meeting has always been the arrangement of the annual meeting which will be held in Toronto this year. The LAW AND TYPEWRITING. Why English Judges Accept Only Handwritten Papers. The Hungarian government has de- cided to discontinue the use of a typewriter for all documents which have to be kept for any length of time. The reason given is that tvoe written documents cannot be depend- ed upon for more than eight to ten years, after which time the characters become invisible. Enquiries made in the London law courts elicited the information that typewritten papers were considered dangerous for legal purposes for two reasons. First, the ink was specially made for the type ribbons, and could be "easily erased with a piece -of india- rubber, whereas the ordinary writing ink required | the use of a knife to ob- literate it. The second and most im- portant oblection was the ease with which forgery could be perpetrated. A well-known law stationer in Chan- cery lane said: "No office copies of legal papers are accepted at the law courts unless they are printed or written. A typewritten document can be easily copied, and only requires the forging of the signature, which is easy in these days of writing experts, who can imitate any one's signature to or- der. This is most important with re- gard to probates when a large sum of money is at stake.' "Formerly all deeds had to be ex- ecutedfon parchment, but now they can bo written on certain paper, which' has to be obtained from Som- erset House. | agree with the Hun- garian officials that typewritten pa- pers are dangerous on account of the possibility of the ink fading, but there is no reason why ink makers should not make an ink which would be as Jastingy as the best writing fluid. It is necessary, however, that ink for typewriters for ordinary pur- poses should be easily erased on ac count of the liability to make mis- takes." a Hint of Taint.

You may call this chemical treatment if you like, but it is only chemical in so far as the dissociation of particles and the re- moval of the unnecessary is oconcern- ed. How this is dome is, of course, one of the secrets of our business. Teke some of our manufactures to illustrate what I say. A STRIKING ILLUSTRATION. Firet there is our best, and I may say our greatest product, 'SWISS FOOD." It is seldom that the public endorses any food so rapidly as they have done this, and," although this food has been on the market for many years, it has today a larger sale than any other breakfast food of its kind on this continent, and for the past year or two its sale has been steadily increasing, each month being greater than the previous one, which conclu- sively proves that the people are more than pleased with its good quality. First we use only selected Canadian | White Wheat as CANADIAN wheat is superior to American for these pur- poses.

All the palatable and nu- tritious qualities are preserved, and CHRISTMAS PATRIOTISM. Kind of Goods Our People Feed on. It is at such times as Christmas that ome appreciates the advantage which Canadians possess in their prox- imity to the Unitea States. Our book stalls are now overtlowing with Christ- mas periodicals which come from the other side of the line and which ought to be particularly agreeable to Cana- dian tastes. These excellent publica- tions give us valuable and detailed in- formation about the holidays at the, White House and the opening of the social season in Washington, with pictures of Miss Roosevelt and Miss Hay, and the other distinguished peo- ple concerned. An article on Christmas tableaux suggests such appropriate subjects as "The Dilgrim's First Christmas," "Christmas at Valley Forge," and "Christmas in the Dark- ness of the Civil War," and the lead- ing part in a Christmas cantata is with equal propriety given to the head boy in the Washington school." Suggestions for philantropic work come from the boys and girls of Ohio, a young people's society of Brooklyn, and a Sunday school teacher in llli- nois, while the Christmas stories are appropriately located in New York, and Boston. This is just the reading, clearly, on which to nourish national and imperial sentiment, and with such literature in our homes, one is not surprised at the growth of these de- sirable feelings. The The Last Straw. Chicago Tribune. A dignified matron called at a news- paper office the other morning and asked ' "Is the editor in ?"' "Yes, ma'am," answered a man sit- ting at a table. "You had an account in vour society column this morning," she said, "of a reception last evening at Mrs. Perry- cord's." "I believe we had." "I know you had, IT am Mrs. Per rycord. I have called to thank vou for the excellent manner in which it was written up. There was not a single misstatement in it, from first to last. You had the name of every person why, was present.

Our process of dessication re- moves this objection and makes Beaver Oats wonderfully. palatable and easy to digest. We use selected Canadian 'Waite Oats from which all halls, oily substance, ubeightly black specks and other impurities are carefully re- moved. The most apptising breakfast porridge, the most exquisite griddle cakes and gems, and excellent baked or fried puddings are made with our Beaver Oats. One other of our products which I mention with satisfaction is our "Self Rising Pankake Flour." Making pan- cakes properly seems to be almost a lost art, but our flour has largely re- stored the interest in pancake making because of the ease and rapidity with which pancakes are_made, and their delicious quality, makes our Self Ris- ing Pankake Flour not only the cook's choice, but the cook's neceskity. Our Self Rising Buckwheat Four is akin to our Self Rising Pankake Flour, just as palatable, just as delicious, just as satisfying to those who like buck- wheat. We have many other foods, but I mention these four to illustrate fully what I have said--that the desirable qualities of cereals can be scientifically retained while eliminating all the wn- necessary or objectionable features. AN INTERESTING VISIT. After discussing cereal foods along general lines, Mr. Mcintosh showed your correspondent through his Cereal Mills, showing the details of the pro- cess and the wonderful machines in operation. The mills are large, well lighted, well ventilated and perfectly clean. The wonder of the process is that practically no hands touch the product in transit. The machines do all the work from receiving the grain until the food is boxed and ready for the market. Possibly the most inpres- sive sight to your correspondent was their system of cleaning, which is truly wonderful--absolutely everything in the way of foreign matter and for- eign grain being entirely removed be- fore it goes to the Kiln. In the Kiln Room immense steel pans or plates, 9 feet in diameter, are used for drying the raw material. Mr. Mclatosh is an enthusiast about Breakfast Foods, and the combination of scientific knowledge, mechanical equipment, commercial skill, and a very large and wide-spread mercantile connection, place the "Crown Mille' Foods in the lead of Food products. Ir addition 16 this Mr. McIntosh feels, as a Canadian Manufacturer, that the Ca- nadian products have a decided ad- vantage over American foods. Cana. dian Wheat is better th the Ameri- can grain, and the duty on imported foods makes it impossible to give the same value as in the Canadian article. Swiss Food, Beaver Oats, and the other lines made by P. McIntosh & Son are sold all over Canada by the leading dealers. These are all foods--not fada. The Foods are sold in strong and at- tractive packages and the name Pr. McIntosh & Son on each is a guar- antee of quality and value. Their rapidly increasing output best shows the estimation in which the consumers hold these foods. HAPPY HOME RANGE ---- WHY THE "HAPPY HOME" IS POPULAR : It is economical on fuel.
