Saint Anne Most Popular.
st. Anne seems to be the saint most
frequently selected for shrine duty

shrines in different parts of the world
are presided over by her statue, while

Another wrist bone of this healing
saint is located in the Shrine of Ste.
Anne De Beaupre, which is situated
IN the village of that naE,e on the.
banks Of the. st. Lawnence river. Fl.
miles below the quaint old city Of
quebec. According to tradition, this
shrine owes its existence to the mis-
fortune of some Boston sailors who,
In making their way up the st. Law
renee, were\ %engulfed in a terrible
storm. Accustomed to calling upon
their ~patroness, Ste. Anne, when in
distress. they fell upon their knees
and vowed that If the saint would
save them from shipwreck they would
build a chapel to her memory where
ever they happened to land. When
they touched, shoke safely the next
morning, they considered that their
prayer a been answered, and imme-
diately set to work upon the con-
struction of a rude little sanctuary
which was destined to become famous
through the successive edifices that
followed It,. ~

Crop Prospects Not Good.

Late advices from Denmark are to
the effect that the crop prospects are
very good. Spring came toe late,
it is claimed, and the moisture has
been damaging because there has
been too much of it. The hay crop is
said to have been very small this year
and wheat. rye. barley and oats are
in an unsatisfactory condition. It was
thought that steadily good weather
during the latter part of June and
the early part Of the present month
might change prospects for the bet
ter, but eve then. it was conceded
that the harvest of all grains will be
below the average.
