QUEBEC,s FESTIVAL BEGUN.
Obseryances Given Over TO the French, Who
Parade and Decorate Champlain Statue.

QUEBEC. Ju y 1o.-Unoficially the fetes
Of tho Quebec teroentenary opened to-day
with a remarkable demonstration at the
foot of the erected a few years
ago by the city OF Quebec on Dufferin ter
race to the memory Of Samuel dc Cham
plain. the founder of the oity. Not one
Of the titled or official dignitaries now here
for the tercentenary fetes took any part
in the ceremony, which consisted chiefly
in decorating the statue with flowers and
%pronouncing eulogies pom the life and
work Of C%hamplain.
A huge procession paraded the streets
prior to the ceremony at Dufferin terrace.
The student class was largely represented
In it. Zouaves formed another large
contingent. Several corps Of independent
guards In snowy uniforms added 70 the
picturesqueness Of the occasion. Brighter
than all were the uniforms Of the various
regiments Of Montcalm's army, including
the famous one of Carignan Sallie res.
These latter all wore the military costumes
prepared for the part to be taken by them
In the historical pageants.
Troops Of British and French sailors and
representatives of various Canadian reg-
ments here for the events Of the gala week
were thickly sprinkled among the thou
sands Of spectators. Care was taken that
the opening ceremony Of the fetes should
be as absolutely French az II the battle Of
the Plains of Abraham had never been
fought.
The mounted heraAs at arms and men
Of the watch make their first appearance
on the city streets tomorrow and will
add a dIstinctively archaic note 10 tho
scene. The heralds will o the
arrival OF prominent guests and the pro-
gramme Of the following day and will read
at intervals some Of the old proolamatons
issued In the early days Of New France
They will be brilliantly tcostumed and all
their announcements will be preceded
BY a fanfare OF trrmpets. The men Of the
watoi will sing the ourfew with musical
accompaniment and also call the passing
fours.
Some OF the electrical decorations were
shown tonight for the FIRST time. They
are very brilliant. Hereafter the city will
be a perfect blaze Of light at night, while
the fireworks people who have the contract
for Thursday nights display state that IL
will be just double as big as any ever given
at the Crystal Palace, where they also con-
troll the py~roteohnios.
Congratulations poured In to-day from
England. France. Pekin and almost every
part Of Canada and the United States.
The Marquise de Montcalm and the Mar
quis de Lewis both arrived tonight.

Swearing never helped mat
tiers, so far as any one knows.
And besides being senseless and
vulgar, according to common
consent, swearing is frequently
great waste of time. Men who
swear under stress of pain or
disappointment will tell you it
relieves their feeling perhaps.
AS matter of fact it does moth
ing of the kind. The more you
swear, if the profanity is prompt
: ed by anger, for instance, the
madden you get, and if the ours
ing comes from failure great or
small, better be trying again
than foolishly damning the luck
which had nothing to do with the
case. If you swear because of
bodily pain, it is fully of little
use. A working knowledge of
first aid to the injured, or few
of those Christian Science
thoughts of optimism will be of
Greater worth And every man
who swears knows there is moth
ing smart about it, although he
probably began it with the idea
that there was at that time his
voice began to change. There
are plenty of men who can do an
artistic job of swearing who are
pretty worthless in other partic-
ulars. If you haven't learned to
swear, don't because it is a fool
ish and vulgar habit which you
will later come to regret. All of
which is the opinion of a man
who swears occasionally and is
ashamed of it.-AtchiSon Globe

One of the pretty school
ma'ams, who had been visiting
in -Keeney, has been taking
a special course of training not
laid down in the regular course
by the state board of education:
They sat on the steps at mid
night, when they should have
been in bed, murmuring honey
nothings while the pale moon
hung it's head. Two goslings
with joyous citation snapped the
microbes on their lips, and thrill
ed with a queer sensation from
toes to their finger tips. Telling
the same stuff over which was
nothing when it was new, giggling
and gushing and burning, but
frozen through and through.
This is the fond affection that the
young folks have to bear; the
bachelors say it's nothing, the
old maids say its nice; the mann
mas say its naughty, but the
youngsters say its nice"

Lake Tahoe.

One of the most beautiful
mountain lakes in the world lies
in the heart of the Sierras, 1920
feet above the sea level, and is
completely hemmed in by noun
tain walls, whose ragged peaks
rise in many places to an addi-
tional height of from 1000 to
1000 feet. 1t is twenty three
miles wide and from 100 to 1000
feet deep. The entire region
surrounding the lake is pictur-
esque almost beyond descrip-
ton, and a never ending delight
to the eye.
Lake Tahoe is easily reached

Advice 10 Girls.

We often read advice to young
men, but only occasionally do we
find any real good advice to young
ladies. The tendency nowadays
is to take care of the young men
and in so doing the young women
are cared for. Such talk will
never do.
The young women of today
need more advice and watchful
care than do young men. Young
girls should first learn not to
keep bad company. A girl just
the same as a boy, is known by
Ar companions. AS a girls in
tercourSe so is her character.
Every girls character is formed
on the model of those with whom
she associates. A girl will just
as naturally take vice and i'm
perfection from bad company as
disease from impure air or
water.
The girls who entertain young
men in their parlOrS whose
clothes are filed with tobacco
smoke, breath smelling of beer,
oaths and slang on their lips and
who are known to frequent
haunts of vice. cannot expect
to live in the estimation of the
influential and good. You can
not afford to associate with the
empty and immoral young
man even if he does belong to
what is styled high society, -
for high society some times runs
low. Don't associate with infer
iors. Associate with the young
man of judgment, intelligence
goodness and energy.
And then again young girls
should by all means keep off the
streets. By this is not meant tc
deprive yours elf of fresh air and
the proper exercise, for this is as
needful as food and sleep. But
the lettering about the street
corners or in public places, prom
enading up one side of the street
and down the others shows q
weakness which gains for you {
shady reputation which is hare
to overcome.-Ex.
