the hands OF ST. Auspicius, the first
bishop of Apt, while the remaining
relics were taken to Marseilles.
From the earliest times ST. Anne
was venerated by the people of
France. The shrine at Apt has been
for centuries the objective point of
vast crowds of pilgrims, and the
shrine and pilgrimage of st. Anne
d'Auray, in Brittany, have long been
celebrated throughout the whole
Catholic world. 1t would be INTEREST
ing to give an account of the miracles
wrought at these places, and to res
peat the traditions connected with
them, but enough has been said to
explain why the French settlers, who
arrived in Canada early in the seven-
teenth century, were particularly de-
voted to ST. Anne. She had shown
them so much grace in the old coun-
try that their advent in the new,

renee and at the foot of the beauti-
full Laurentian mountains, could not
have been more fifty celebrated than
by dedicating church to her name.
The region round about Beaupre,
which is located about 10 miles east of
Quebec, was settled by immigrants from
Perche and Normandy as early as 1850.
These sturdy pioneers brought with
them an almost childlike devotion for
Catholicism and unbounded veneration
for ST. Anne. They organized parish
called Petit-Cap, on account of the hill
at whose foot the church was built.
Later on it was called ST. Anne du Nord,
and finally it was given the name of
ST. Anne de Beaupre, or ''La Bonne Ste.
Anne" For some years the settlers
worshiped in private houses. but in
1867 a chapel was erected on plot of
ground opposite the present basilica.
The men who assisted in the building
of the humble little sanctuary were, ac-
cording to the parish history, singular

married Joachim or Eli-Achim who,
like herself, was of the tribe of Juda,

a Cat That Kills Snakes.

Miss Ruby Fleming, daughter Of Mr.
and Mrs. George NJ. Fleming, of this
place, has n cat that is not only a fine
mouser, but has developed penchant
to kill snakes. This cat is very fine
one and wears ribbons and bells,
through the pettish scheme of Miss
Ruby. One day last week she heard
the bells ringing vigorously. She
went to the door and saw a fight In
the yard shrubbery going ON between
the cat and a very large moccasin
snake. The snake would dart its head
at the cat and she with her foot would
knock the head Of the snake to one
side every time. Finally the cat
grabbed the snake by the back of the
neck and shook 1t considerably. Mr..
Fleming then came to the rescue and
killed the snake with stick. A few
days after, the bells on the cat began
to ring again in the front yard. Miss
Fleming went out and found that the
cat was In another combat with q
huge snake. The cat put the snake I,
rout, and as the snake attempted ia
run In at the door Mr.. Fleming killed

taught to see in 1t semi-sacred attri-

seems to be symptom of degeneracy,
of hallucinations of memory, and in
especial of epilepsy and of neurasthe-

he thinks should be considered a
symptom of morbid emotion of nerv-
GUS disorder rather than n celestial
inspiration to be followed at all liaz-

1t hardly carries conviction that all

BY CATS EYES.
Chinese Tell the Hour by the Line In
tho Feline Visual Organ.


It must be conceded that In some
qualities of primitive, but practical re-
sourcefulness the Chinese are ahead
of most civilized nations. All travellers
agree that II in district where clocks
and watches are unknown you ask
Chinaman the time Of day he will. II
well disposed, at once proceed to am
buscade and capture the household cat,
and after pushing up the lids and look
ing for a moment into its eyes he will
tell the time with astonishing accur-
acy. The explanation is simple phys
biological one. The pupils OF the cats
eyes constantly contract until midday
when they become like fine line, as
thin as a hair drawn perpendicularly
across the eye; after twelve they be-
gin again to dilato. Ii is to be hoped
that If the practice is ever introduced
into this country watches and clocks
will continue to be made, as there will
probably be many who will not care
to run after cat whenever they want
to know the hour, or who may fear
some danger to their own eyes from
too close an examination of hers. The
Chinese have by no means monopoly
of the cat as a perambulating time
piece. The negroes Of jamaica are
very we'll acquainted with the method
of telling the time by looking at the
effect of the sun on pussy's eyes, and

illiterate and could not tell the time

method for discovering the time OF
day. have myself repeatedly, watch
in hand, asked a negro to tell the time
In this way, and it was very rare In
