T h e (Chateau de R,amezay was built in. 1705 and is now maintained as a (branch of the archives of • Canada. It was the residence of the early Governors, both French and English, and there is a -room especially furnished for the full statutes of the Fathers of Confedera- tion, as recently shown in the Jubilee ostage stamp formation. During the occupancy of Montreal by the re- volutionary army of the United States nu 1776, under General Montgomery, -the Chateau was his headquarters and Benjamin Franklin's printing press efor the purpose of instructing Canad- Ilane to revolt, is preserved in the -vaults. There are many beautiful parks in Montreal, conspicuous among which are Lafontaine on the east side of Sherbrooke Street, containing fine driveways and an artificial lake. In the centre stands a statute of Octave <Cremazie, the Frencth-.Canadian poet. Westmount Park is situated in the :]English part of the city and is a ver- itable beauty spot. Victoria Hall and the Westmount public library is cen- trally located in the park. Opposite to the Lafontaine Park is situated the million dollar public library, built en- tirely of Canadian marble. It is the ilargest dual language (French and English) in the world and contains the renowned Gagnon (volumes of Can- adixn historical data. While in Can- ada Marshall Joffre, the famous French Commander of the World War, ton 'May 13th, 1917, inaugurated this beautiful institution. One of the principal sights of the city is Bonsecours Market, where 3French-Canadian habitant life is ev- er present on the early mornings of `Tuesday and Fridays, dressed in their ]homespun home -tailored clothing, ac- companied by little one-horse carts, containing all kinds of products. Be- sides the human nature study of the jostling crowde the visitor catches glimpses of piles of native tobacco, garlic, maple sugar, live geese, tur- keys, ducks, chickens, pigeons, can- aries, dogs, puppies, cats, rabbits, -white mice, home-made rag carpets and mats, woollen socks and stock- ings, old style straw hats and wear- ing apparel, home-made rocking chairs, church rosaries and cheap jew- clery. The little dressed pigs orna- mented with an apple in the mouth, looked cute. Here the patois of the gesticulating Canadian Frenchman or woman is heard in its most perfect simplicity in bargain -dickering over the "un ecu," "treate sous," "neuf franc," etc. The little French hote', opposite the market where King Ed- -ward stopped on his visit to Canada in 1860, is still a historic feature. The coldest French church in the city is also situated here. (While in Montreal, visitors should not fail in visiting the Shrine of St. Joseph, situated on the top of the anountain, and intellectually examine the evidence of miraculous cures ef- Tected through the venerable Brother Andre in hundreds of crutches and anther mechanical devices used by the miiicted left in the church when cured of their ailments. To non-Catholics the evidence of miraculous cures are dewed with astonishment and per- eforce as an Anglican Catholic, your correspondent left a health request. Brother Andre is in his 89th year, and when questioned regarding the -miraculous cures effected, modestly remarked: "I have only done the work of God and of •St. Joseph." The port of Montreal serves as a shipping outlet, not only for Canad- ian grown grain, but for that of the 'Western American States, over 150,- 000,000 bushels being exported through that port in 1928. T h e route is rail to the shipping point to the head of Lake Superior, 600 feet above sea level. thence via water to she Georgian Bay ports and Gode- rich, and rail to Montreal and ship- ping to Britain and elsewhere. Pas- sengers "going over to the Old Coun- try" prefer the Canadian route as it provides the sight-seeing scenic beau- ty of the St. Lawrence and two days don sheltered waters and shorter ocean -voyage. President Hoover, of the United States, stated in a recent address, °`that the .Middle Western States bor- dered on the American Mediterranean -the wealth and opportunity of the world's richest continent were spread .at its feet as nature's highway led to it. The St. Lawrence waterways project must be the co-operative con- enern of the two nations and will prove an added guarantee of peace between -them." The St. Lawrence ocean wa- terway project will be dealt with at the forthcoming sessions of parlia- ment and the member for South Hur- on, Mr. Thomas Mc:VMilian, will keep This constituents fully informed on the subject. es Controlled Bee -Mating. Beekeepers have for years been troubled by the handicap entailed in their efforts to bring about controlled mating. The queen he always mates ton the wing and attempts to devise a form of selective mating have al- -ways failed. For five years a scien- tist in Cornell University has been ,working at this problem and now an- erounees that he has been successful in devising extremely fine instru- enents so '..hat queen bees can be arti- thcially mated to selected drones. This success, when put into use, will en- able beekeepers to improve the qual- ity of the honey bee. The 0. A. C. is working on the new invention in an effort to assist Canadian beekee 'rs. 41g; F 4• a a Q Opez ve ag I` .
