OF OLD QUEBEC
WHEN FROST REIGNS IST
HISTORIC CITADEL.
Duffeiin Terrace Toboggan
Slide is a Brilliant Spectacle
Thee Nights.
Quebec is beautiful both in winter
and summer, but possibly its charm
is greatest when King Winter has
spread his ermine over the historic
Sleights 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 particularly thousands
of its citizens cion their skis or snosd-
shoes and take long tlips'through the
picturesque country or throng the
great toboggan slide on Dufferin Ter-
race. Isere they enjoy the wild rush
front the top of the slide, near the
king's bastion of the famous old Sort
which Montgomery and Arnold vaiuly
endeavored to capture away back in
1775.
Although the Norwegian ski has be-
come very popular in'Caliada during
the last few years, the snowshoe still
numbers its devotees by thousands.
The .American Indian is generally
credited with having devised the snow -
shoo; the early French Canadians
were not slow in adopting it as a
means of crossing wide stretches of
deep snow, and their numerous des--
cend ;nts in Quebec. are experts in its
„use to -day.
cwo''Thoueand Snowshoers.
One of the most flourishing organi-
zations in Quebec devoted bo winter
spar'ts is the Union Canadienne des
Racrluetteurs, which was a conspicu-
ous feature .of the great 'parade
through the city on February 14, when
two thousand snowshoers were in line,
and of the church parade February 15,
The sport loving people of Quebec,
like those of other cities, have their
work to do each day, and such big
snowshoe parades as that of February
14 are staged at night. On this oe-
easion an army of snowshoers 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
Bufferin Terrace togoggan slide. The
big slide is a beautiful spectacle 'at
night, when it is thronged, with pic-
turesquely costumed tobogganists of
both sexes, 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 embankment terminus
near the Chateau is a' quarter" of a
stile. There are three tracks, be-
tween which are partitions of ice six
inches high, so that no platter if the
tobogganist does the quarter of a mile
in twenty seconds there is no danger
of collision or of being thrown out of
the particular groove in which he is
sliding. Every day, eighteen barrels
of water are sprinkled upon; the
tracks, so that each one is a glare of
ice, and very swift. The toboggans
line up three abreast at the top of the
slide, where they are held by steel
triggers. When 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,
33eeause of its hilly character Que-
bee is an ideal place for ski running
and jumping. The glacis of the old
Citadel is high, and steep, and on Sat-
urday afternoons and Sundays is a
favorite rendezvous for lovers ed this
thrilling sport.. The pretty, red-choeked
lr• rench-Canadian girls are clever and
daring skiers, Four of thein abreast,
holding hands and looking like colored
paper dolls against the white snow,
glide down the Iong elope oi"the glacis
at high speed without nlisliap. Now
and then they get tangled up at the
bottom of the slope and tumbril in a
heap, but this, only adds to the fun.
The only really difficult thing about
skiing is getting up after a spill into
the deep snow, for skis are very long
end unwieldy, and in the language of
the old song
When you're up you're up,
,And whenyou're down., you're down,
But when you're only half -way up
You're neither up nor down!
Envied by all the other enthusiasts
Are the ski junipers•, who make long
and hazardous flights through the air

ytted for this thrilling perform ge;

Naives of several large Cunard

Ines during the war are to be per-
pettiated in new vessels now under
construction, it is announced by the
Cunard Company, which has nearly
500,000 tons of passenger ships now
.building, says a Liverpool despatch.
Of the vessels whose names are
giveIn none will approach the size of
the 'Mauretania or Aquitania, but they
will be big liners of iutermeeliate type,
ranging front 520 to 500 feet in length.
They will have spacious accommoda-
tion for passengers and also will be
able to carry large reetnitios of cargo.
There are four ships of the 000 foot

Scythia, and the Samaria. There is
only one vessel under construction in
the.550 foot class, the Tiburnia, a

the Alannia, Ardania, Aurania, An-
sonia, Ascaria, Albania and Antonia.

of vessels lost in the war, and the An-
tonia appears for the first time.

— Fate of Sea Cows.
The last Arotic "sea cow" was seen
in 1854—about a century after the
first discovery of the species by white
men. When full grown, the creature
weighed as much. as 8,000 pounds.
These animals. frequented shallows
at the mouths of elvers in herds; and
while feeding they drove before them
'their young, to protect the latter from
danger. So tante were they that one
could stroke their backs without any
objection on their part.
Unfortunately, their flesh was good
to eat, resembling beef. Whalers got
in the way of depending upon thein
for stores of fresh meat; and so, in
the natural course of events, they
were wiped out.

Lamps for -Brides.
In early times the courtship and
marriage cltstoms among the Green-
landers were Wimple and unceremoni-
ous enough, since we are told that
when a lovelorn youth made up his
mind as to the girl he wanted to adorn
and be useful in his but of ice and
snow, he went to her House, seized her
by the hair or wherever he could se-
cure a good grip 011 her, and dragged
lier'to his own domain, where she was
expected to remain, without any fur-
ther marriage ceremony. If an af-
fluent bridegroom he would perhaps
soothe her lacerated feelings by pre•
senting her with a new lamp or soma
other article of household utility.
Royal Clothes,
The most extravagant- European
monarch as.regards dress was the late
Czar of Russia. The bill of his -civil
hiller bordered on $10,000 a year, and
that othis military tailor 815,000. His
top -hat cost him $25, and every year
ho gave $2,000 for a fur coat. It is
said that he never -gave less that $60
for a suit, and never wore it more
than tlui.ee times. Compared with
hint the Kaiser was quite shappy. His
price for a suit Is at most $85, and he
will wear It thirty times; whilst King
Haskell. - spends , no mere on a suit
than the average Norwegian grocer.
