Quebec is beautiful both in winter and summer, but possibly its charm is greatest when King Winter has spread his ermine over the historic heights and the Citadel and when the great ice fleets flow and ebb each day in the majestic St, Lawrence. For a month Quebec has been re- veling in winter sports of all kinds, The old city has real winter weather, with dry, hard snow, On Saturdays and Sundays pertloularly thousands of its citizens don their skis or snow- shoes and take long trips through the picturesque country or throng the great toboggan slide on Dufferin Ter- race, Hera they enjoy the wild rush from the top of the slide, near the king's bastion of tate famous old fort which Montgomery and Arnold vainly endeavored to capture away back in 1775. Although the Norwegian ski has be- come very popular in Canada during the last few years, the snowshoe still numbers its devotees by thousands. The American Indian is generally credited with having devised the snow- shoe; the early French Canadians were not slow In adopting it as a means of crossing wide stretches of deep snow, and their numerous des- cendants in Quebec are experts in its use, to -day. Two Thousand Snowehoers, One of the most flourishing organi- zations devoted to zatiotts in Quebec winter Q e sports is the Union Canadionao des Racquetteurs, which was a conspicu- ous feature of the great parade through the city on February 14, when two thousaud anotshoerawere in line and of the church parade February 15. nn de The sport loving people of Quebec, Hire those of other cities, have their work to do each day, and such big .snowshoe parades to that of February 14 aro staged at night. On this oc- casion an army of suowshoers formed In line at the drill hall and, dressed in their picturesque costumes, paraded through the principal streets. One of the favorite resorts Is the Dufferin Terrace Logoggan slide, The big slide is a beautiful spectacle at night, when It is thronged with pic- turesquely costumed tobogganists of both sues and when the brilliant lights are reflected from snow and ice. The total length of the slide from high up on the shoulder of the Citadel to the snow embankineut terminus near the Chateau Is a quarter of It mile. There are three tracks, be- tween which aro partitions of ice six Inches high, so that no matter if the tobogganist does the quarter a a mile in twenty seconds there is no danger of collision or of being throwm out of the particular groove in. which he is sliding. Every day eighteen barrels of water are sprinkled upon the tracks, so that each ono is a glare of ice, and very swift. The toboggans line up three abreast at the top ot the slide, where they aro held by steel triggers. Inert all are ready the triggers are released, and down the steep descent the three toboggans rush at forty miles an hour, Ideal Place For Skiing, Because of its hilly character Que- bec is an ideal place for ski running and jumping. The glade of the old Citadel is high and steep, and on Sat- urday afternoons and Sundays is a favorite rendezvous for lovers of this thrilling sport. The pretty, rod -checked French-Canadian girls are clever and daring elders, Four of them abreast, holding hands and looltiug like colored paper dolls against the white snow, glide down the long slope of the glee's at high speed without mishap. Now and then they get tangled up at the bottom of the slope and tumble in a Itsap, but this only adds to the Pun. The only really difficult thing about skiing is getting up after a spill into the deep snow, for skis are very long and unwieldy, and In the language of the old song When you're up you're up, . And when you're down, you're down, But whoa you're .only half -way up You're neither up nor downt Envied by all the other enthusiasts are the ekt jumpers, who make long and hazardous flights through the air from some high take -off and even loop the loop on (route slide particularly fitted for this thrilling performance. y Lamps for Brides.

The influenza convalescent who has apparently recovered from the disease and le yet in a strangely weak and de- pressed condition should be the object of particular caro, according to Dr. Louis. I. Harris, director of the Bureau of Preventable Diseases of the New York health Department, In the opinion of Dr, Harris the atter care of the influenza patient is most im- portant, The co-operation of the pa- tient, coupled with the wUihugnese to see that the weakness and depression are a part of the illness, though come ing atter the dlseuee itself has apent its force, is a blg factor in effecting a complete return to full health. 0n the other hand, the determination to lg- noro this debilitated condition and to fight against it, will, Dr. Ilartis says, frequently bring serious consequences upon the patient, After Effects Bad. "Tho subject of the after effects of influenza," said Dr, Harris, "is ono of particular interest to trio scientist at the present time. "First, and perhaps the most mo- mentous condition to be considered is the striking depression, mental, nerv- ous, and physical, complained of by most patients- Those attacked by the disease with moderato severity are al- most always afflicted with this de- pression, which should be recognized and dealt with, Those who have had mild cases of the epidemic ars little affected by depression, and their quick return to health and strength gives rise to the belief that influenza is trivial. On the contrary, influenza in its after effects is anything hut tri- vial application of and calls s for the e pp rules of conituon sense and sanitation which are the fruit of years of ex- perience. "Tonic treatment, well chosen diet, and great cure in not becoming over- tired or allowing trio body to be chilled are necessary. Eggs may be eaten, but not more than two a day, for the average adult. Of course, it must be remembered that in many cases this disease tends to direct its Corce against the kidneys, and therefore we instruct patients to avoid eating a great ainonut of meat, eggs, or beef extracts. Eggs, soft boiled, poached, or beaten, raw, are advisable in limit- ed number, The raw eggs should al- ways be well agitated before taking. When Good Food is Bad. "With milk and eggs as a founda- tion the patient should eat good tame haling food, including meat, fish, and vegetables, simply prepared. Frytug, for instance, In out of the question. Good food prepared in an unassimil- abie manner beeomes bad food; es- pecially is this to be noted iu cases of convaleseence from influenza, for the disease often manifests itself in vomiting, and in intestinal and gas- tric disturbances, and it is important not to weaken the digestive function by the eating of poorly prepared food, or even the best of food iu ill-advised quantities. The quantitative distribu- tion of foodstuffs should be ao adjust- ed as not to overtax the stomach, but the patient should eat generously and frequently." Aa a tonic to build up the blood and stimulate the shattered nerves, Dr. Williams' Pink Pite are unsurpassed, These pills actually make new, rich, rod blood, which reaches every organ and every nerve in the body, improves the appetite; strengthens digestion and drives away the feeling of weariness and depression always following an attack of la grippe or influenza. Those who give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fate; trial will be amply repaid by the new health and strength this tonic medicine always gives.

The Mat Arotin "Sea cow" was seen to 1854—about a century after the first discovery of tete species by whits men. Whon full grown, the creature weighed ae much as 8,000 pouitde. 'Phase animals frequented shallows at the. months of rivere in horde; and while reeding they drove before them their young, to protect the latter from danger. So tame were they that one could stroke their haeke without auy objection on their part, Unft}c'tunately, their flesh was good 10 eat, resembling beef. Whalers got in the, way of depending upon them for stores 0f fresh meat; tend so, in the natural course of events, tttoy were wiped out. Gesture of the Tongue. The tongue has a single gesture, and everybody knows what it means, It Is thrust out to express contempt. The little girl who "sticks out her tongue" does not realize that her nc- kion, so unladylike, harks back to the prehistoric. It is undoubtedly a most ancient mode of conveying the idea ot intensified disrespect. Everywhere In the world, among savage and civilized peoples, the lingual gesure has the game recognized significance, 11 Touched Her Heart, Naturally, when Ethel went on a firet visit to some distant cousins in the country, she didn't want to dis- play her lack of knowledge of country life, So she arcked questions which she thought "knowing," but which nearly made her hosts laugh out loud. Ono evening, just at dusk, as Ethel stood at the open door of they farm- house talking to ono of the sons of the family, there came to them the low mournful note of a cow. "Just 1leten to that poor cow," nigh• ed Ethel, tenderly, "mewing for her Lost colt]" MONEY ORDERS. A Dominion Express Money Order for five dollars costs three cents.

The weather is often so severe that the mother cannot take the little ones out for an airing. The consequence is that baby 1s confined to overheated, badly ventilated rooms; takes cold and becomes cross and peevish. Baby'a Own Tablets should be given to keep the little one healthy.
