LARGE CANADIAN FAMILIES.
A Montreal Man with Twelve Chill
dren Marries Quebec WOm-
an with Eleven.

A newspaper of Quebec lately told
of the marriage of Montreal wild
over with - to Quebec widow with
IL children, and this brought out from
a correspondent bigger story. 1t is
that some years ago Louis Lemieux,
of ST. Henri, father Of IL children,
married Nine Letourneau, mother Of
H. They were well-to-do people and
united their progeny under one roof.
The registrar of the district attests
the truth of the statement and, says
that he was the notary and friend OF
the couple, and Eat the wedding din
ner I saw the "a children seated at the
bridal table and happy at being unit
ed in the family. All remained to-
gether under the parental roof for
some years, and never was the peace
and harmony of this patriarchal
dwelling disturbed by troubles be-
tween parents or children He tells
how, one by one, the "a children mar
ried, "to create other families and
to-day the old couple live in comfort
and respect in the village of st. Henri

VIOLIN MUSIC.
it's Peculiar and Varied Effects en-
wild Animals of Vari-
Ous Varieties.

The violin was used recently with
interesting results in experiments
with all sorts of living creatures.
First it was played before tarantula.
She paid no attention whatever to IT..
But a nest of scorpions became in
tensely excited and w1ggled frantical-
~, says the New York Press.
A cobra showed remarkable sus-
ceptibility. She was sleeping sound
~ when the experimenters ap-
preached her, but the first tone awak-
ened her, and she raised her head.
AS the music swelled she continued
to rise till she was standing straight
as pillar, supported only by her
tail. Every change in tempo and
pitch had effect. The pizzicato made
her puff her entire body, swift waltz
music caused her to erect her ugly
hood to IT'S fullest size, and a sudden
dissonance made her wind and twist
her body as II she were in real agony.
The polar bear tried to dance to
the sounds of the instrument. At
least he swayed his body rhythmical-
ly and made a rumbling sound which
portrayed deep pleasure. The griz-
lilies and the lions moved their paws
and the lions their tails also in time
with the music. 1t happened that a
string snapped, with it's peculiar,
sharp smack, just as the player had
begun to perform before the cage of
a hyena. That poor animal at once
hunched it's back up, drew its tail be-
tween it's legs and crouched, trem-
bling, in the farthest corner of the
cage. The elephant and the ostrich
were delighted by soft tones and ap-
peared to suffer true distress from
loud and sharp notes.

departure from an established Gus

A romance of true love is working
itself out between a railroad engineer
and widow of this city In full view
of this lady's not uninterested neigh

She lives with her offspring in house
before whose door run the railroad

found it was roast of beef. She, in
return, stood on tiptoe beside the To-

"What? Oh, suspenders! Say,

engineer. For six months this wooing
