CANADIAN HABITS.

Canadians are known in Britain as
the people who never shut doors.
Where rooms are heated, as they are
there, by CRATE fires, the opening of q
door sets up an immediate draught,
and If the persons who opens It does
not close it again he quickly realizes
his mistake, If not in his own sensa-
satiOns, then i'm the reprOachful glances
of others. The first lesson in manners
taught to children is to shut the door.
and that quietly. The door handle, tbs
child is taught, is not only for the pur-
pose Of opening a door, but of shutting
it, The reason why Canadians do not
learn TO shut doors is that their doors
for the most part, stand open The
houses are heated with a general heat
and before the days of furnaces, unless
the doors of the rooms stood open, the
rooms would, for the most part, &c,
cold. Thus has grown the habit of leav.
ing doors open. When Canadian
comes to a shut door he is prone to think
that something very private is going on
within which he must not disturb, and
his first impulse is to retire from g..
Where we in Canada have a door
which We want kept shut we put %
spring on it, and so where there are
many Offices there is usually q gem
eral and constant slamming of doors.
To one not accustomed to the j1rring
thus occasioned, the result is torture,
In time kindly nature steps in and
mltigates the evil by making the audi
tory nerve less and less susceptible to
an accustomed sound. Ask person
who lives in q cathedral close, or un-
der the shadow Of one of our great
churches, whether the bells do not dis
turb him: his reply is. Bells? never
hear them. Montreal (Quebsc) Wit
