 Scenes and Sensations That Follow This Megaphoned Announcement.
 But when the cry ''Car coTing!"
 came roaring up the track, the faces
 were all alike! Millionaire's daughter
 race-track gambler, absorbed scientist, man servant, broker, newspaper repor- ter, staid mother of family wife of one of the competing drivers-it made no difference who the spectator was, or how near or remote his interest in the race and the races. They were all made alike. All were alert and. atfngle
 when that cry of Car comfng!e was
 beloved through the magaphone. Those at the roadside, behind the ropes, crushed forward and craned their necks, despite all efforts of buco- lie deputy sheriffs to restrain them. Those in the stands leaped to the seats of their chairs, or balanced on the backs of two that stood together. The anxiety and nervous tension of all were manifest to the observer by clenched HduuSi kIpu DrOWS and drawn mouth muscles. One could see along the road to the west for more than half a miIe but no car was in sight. The hiatus was fur but a second or two. A trenor and sigh ran through the crowd as the object of their watch rushed into view. At first 1t was seen, but not heard, but for a few seconds only: for it's oncoming was like the sweep of a meteor, At first, in the distance, the noise of the engine was blurred into a growing Whir, not unlike the roll of muffied drums. On came the indefinite. bug-like thing, and in another second the separate report of the cylinder ex- plosions could be distinguished, like the reports of piece of rapid-fire artillery. Then, as the car came nearly abreast and swept past, these reports, though booming louder, were overborne so as to be almost last to cognizance, by the tremendous swishing noise, caused by the rush with which the air was cleft by the car and by the gritting of it's wheels on the ground, Everybody

THE HABITUAI. sWEARER.

Suppose some seemingly sanctffied person should go around the streets ut
 tering audible prayers in the hearing of other people and mixing them up with his conversation. People would call him crazy and would look diligent- ly for an excuse for sending him to an asylum. The general opinion would be that he was daffy. And yet there are fellows by the dozen who in public and in private mix senseless oaths and causeless profanity with their conver- sation-scarcely uttering a sentence unless breaking it up with ''cuss words" without sense or meaning. Is not this an evidence that the wheels in their heads are not running true. and that the machinery is shackling? Why should the man whose seeming devo- ton to divinity exceeds his good sense and propriety, be graded as a Iunatie. while the numerous fellow who is siv- en to causeless cussing be regarded as all right only a little rough in his talk? (Ks.) Tribune,
The daily morning journal and courier., 1906-01-12

This commentaries a ceremony ob- served in spring in the villages of
 French Canada-the blessing of the fields. A parish mass is held in the open air to invoke the benediction of God upon the seeds about to be cast into the ground.
 Sometimes one member of a parish
 arranges for special mass to bring
 down a blessing upon his own fields, and if the parishioners be devout and
 well-to-do, several such masses may be provided for in one parish, and
 announced on one Sunday. After the
 ceremony is over, a cross is erected on
 the spot where the officiating priest
 has stood. Masses are also offered in
 rural French Canada for rain, for fair
 weather, and for relief from epidemics.
 For every mass the parish bell is rung.
 When member of the parish dies it
 tolls forth the number of his years,
 and three times every day it rings the
 Angelus.
 What the gate was to a Hebrew
 town the door of the parish church is
 to a village of French Canada. The life of the little community is focused
 around it. After the close of the morn ing. mass and before the congregation
 has dispersed the bailiff, standing in
 the church door or on platform erected before it, reads all manner of public and business notices. Among the sheriff's sales recorded from time to time in Montreal papers, one finds many properties listed which are to be sold lat the door of the parish church of St - anything pou will. On all days of the week one may see affixed to the side posts of the church door a motly collection of weather stained placards usually in French. Whoever has property to sell will ad- Vertise it here, and here are posted notices of auctions, of public meetings stolen Here also some local au- thority affixes the fish and game laws of the province
 A French village is generally pro- fusely Illustrated with signs. The custom, like the inn signs of the mid dle ages, is probably a concession to the needs of a population whereof a large proportion cannot read print. But he who runs can read these, and the wayfaring man, though he sign his name with a cross cannot err therein. A great eye stares you out of countenance from the window behind which your own can be tested. The 'ferblantier" displays 6 kettle of gigantic proportions atop of a tall pole. The saddler is know by a great fwooden horse collar swinging above his door. The "Boulanger' l hangs out picture of loaf and a roll, both of appetizing pufTlness, and | the undertaken of funeral pomps" | displays an elaborately pictured coffin, | with handles and name plate complete,
 But the signs, like the shops, are 'eW and poor at St, Norbert, and soon | We leave the half deserted village be- lind and enter a rocky wilderness, | where stunted spruces share the short | of the white stemmed E 'irches those dwellers in stony and terile places. And To- at aturn in ong downward slope the smoke of rains and factories and tine great leaning spires of parish church, A rufting and snorting of engines and
 whirling of wheels-a railroad hotel where we dine-and the end of our ex- lorings.-N. Y E. Post
