CONTINENT'S LAST SEVENTEENTH CENTURY SETTLEMENTS PRESERVED BY FRENCH-CANADIAN HABITANTS OF QUEBEC

Th question of conscription in Canada aas brought to the world's attention the fact that Quebec and its French-Canadian population are a distinct and rather set-apart factor in the life of Canada. The general conception, and a correct one, of the vaat Dominion just across our northern border, is that tt is a country much like our own, brimming over with the energy that grasps all modern innovations. It surprises many, however, to learn that in some parts of the Province of Quebec conditions have changed little -since the days of the first French pioneers. This is true only, however, of some parts of Quebec, for all the remainder of the Dominion is exceedingly up-to-date. The French-Canadian of Quebec is above all else a landowner and passionately attached to his acres, few though they may be in number. In the beginning the land was owned by the Seigneurs who parceled it out

to the people; they in turn paid a j small rental in the shape of taxes. ;The tax was an acknowledgment of

the bc.gneurs rights to reclaim the lands. This state of affairs was intolerable to the people, who insisted and secured the right to own the land in fee. At the same time they took to themselves the name "Habitant," meaning "free inhabitant." a term of which they were, and still are, justly proud and jealous. The Habitant of tiday lives in the same manner and often in the same house as did his great, great grandfather. An investigation in 1908 established the fact that there were two hundred and seventy families living on homesteads that have been occupied by their families for more

I than two hundred years. This is a

charming district full of things quaint and old-fashioned. The villages are many, they lie nestled in the hills or sit beside some pretty stream. Usually they are named

On way

after some saint, there being fifty St. Annes alone. These hamlets consist for the most part of a single street that is lined with close-set houses, the land runninir back from

: the roadway in long, narrow strips. jThe object of such arrangement was to secure safety for the inhabitants ' in those bygone days when the bloodcurdling yell of the Redskin might j sound a call to arms at any hour of day or night. The houses and barns painted white with doors and blinds iof deep red, green or brown, as suits the householder's fancy, present a Iquaint, old-world effect. Most of the i houses ar of the three-room variety j capped by a loft reached by a ladder, jbut circumscribed as these quarters jare, they are no bar to large fam- ; ilies. These humble roofs shelter ;on an average from ten to fifteen

children, often as many as twenty. Early marriages and many children are matters of pride among the Habitants.

"VOU arc to regard every man who sells Columbia Grafonolas as a man who is only too glad to let you learn about the Columbia Grafonola, to let you hear the instrument played, and to let you play it. Further, that he wants you to play your choice of records those you like the best the favorites that you select from the catalogue of Columbia records which you will find in the Columbia salesrooms. It may be three months or four months before you are ready to order a phonograph. It may be even longer than that. But the time you are welcome to come in and hear the Columbia Grafonola played is now and all the time. You are invited to play the Columbia Grafonola with your own hands in the dealer's store. He would like to have you wind the Grafonola see how easily it

winds. t Turn the crank and notice how evenly and smoothly the motor-spring absorbs the tension which the winding of the crank puts on it. Change the needle play different records. Open and close the tone-leaves, thus increasing or diminishing the volume of sound, and notice how this distinctive Columbia feature gives you a practical and at the same tjme scientific music control. Play the high-priced Grafonolas and the low-priced ones. If you have children, bring them along, and let the records which you think will appeal to them most be brought. Play them to the children. Do all this with the absolute assurance that you arc welcome to do it and that you arc wanted to do it.
