behind his wagon. The poor thing
was nearly dead from heat and
fatigue, and was dragging by the
neck. He was, we are happy to
say, arrested and fined the price of
the calf and two dollars more to
pay the cost Of prosecution. He
was greatly angered, as he thought
he chad q right to do as he pleased
with his own" Soon after his
neighbor had calf to sell, and he
said he did not intend to lose It, 80
he made q frame and put it in his
wagon, put straw in the bottom
and put the calf in; hired a colored
man to stand up by 1t and hold an
umbrella over it. He then drove up
the street, to the great amusement
of the crowd, who could not un.
derstand it until he explained. That
was an extreme, but far better that
extreme than the other. The cruel
practice Of tying chickens feet and
carrying them long distances with
their heads down should be stopped
by law.
I am glad that my friend has

MEssRs. EDITORs:-I write to
correct errors made by Mr.. H. F.

by your physicist, in issue Of week

who have kept that copy will see at
once that the first, second and
fourth will do very well.
Mr.. C's answers appear In your

Mr.. G. understands very we'll how

by giving two of the properties Of

bility. Refiectibility does not nee.
essarily play any part in the dis
persion Of light; and light refract'
ed and light dispersed is one and
the same thing. The answer to- the
first part of the fifth is, that in 9
dense medium some light-waves
are more refracted than others.
The answer to (a) in the fifth is
that shorter waves are more re
fracted than longer ones.

THE SEIGNEURIES.

Interesting Picture OF Them rs They Bx-
list In Canada
The diet of the French Canadians is
extremely simple and consists prinei-
pally of soup and vegetables, though
meat and poultry s-e very cheap IN the
country districts. costing somewhat
less than half she price paid by the
English laborer for the same articles of
diet The French Canadian farmer IL a
strict CONSERVATION of ancient habits and
customs, and is strongly opposed 10
any progressive principles. The soil
in some parts ef ihs province of Que
bee has therefore been 50 systematically
starved by long habits of neglect hand
ed down from father to son, that bare
existence is all that has been gained
from the land. However. If the same
farm has come into the possession of an
enterprising Scotch or English farmer
with liberal ideas of progress aud adj
vancement, the result has been strik-
ing; and in the course of few years
the old, decaying buildings have disap-
peared, a new farmhouse and substan-
tial barns have been erected, and the
estate has recovered all the appearances
of prosperity. This is not an uncom-
mon instance. The old seigneuries on
the st. Lawrence have lost but little of
their ancient character. In many cases
even the venerable manor houses still
stand on the river banks, surrounded
by prim. Old-fashioned gardens and ap-
preached by straight avenues Of poplar.
These seigneuries were, in old times,
usually granted by the Government TO
persons of distinction or TO court favor
ties, and consisted of immense tracts of
land lin some instances three leagues
in breadth by the same in depth), ex-
tending for miles from the river shore
back into the primevsl forest. The
Seigneur, or lord of the manor, par
celed this land out into small fiefs,
which were frequently agan sub
divided BY families into almost infini-
tesimal proportions. The fief holders
made small annual payment to the
Seigneur. who had also certain feudal
claims. the principal of which was q
considerable proportion of the amount
payable on the sale or transfer OF land.
