The question of conscription in Canada has brought to the world's attention the fact that Quebec and Its French-Canadian population are a distinct and rather Bet-apart factor in tb life of Canada. The general conniption, and a correct one, of the vast Dominion Just across our northern border, is that it is a country mucfc like our own, brimming over with the energy that grasps all mocbrn innovations. It surprises many, however, to learn that in some par5 of the Province of Quebec conditio have changed little since the days; of the first. French pioneers. This is true only, nowever, of some parl of Quebec, for all the remainder of the Dominion is exceedingly up-to-date. Tbe French-Canadian of Quebec is abow all else a landowner and pasflonately attached to his acres, few ithough they may be in number. In th e beginning the land was owned

to the people; they in turn paid a, small rental in the shape of taxes. The tax was an acknowledgment of the Seigneurs' 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 today 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 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 mils or sit beswie some pretty

These hamlets con sist for the most part of a single street that is lined with close-set bouses, the land running back from the roadway in long, narrow strips. The object of such arrangement was to secure safety for the inhabitants in those bygone days when the bloodcurdling yell of the Redskin might sound a call to arms at any hour of day or night. The houses and barns painted white with doors and blinds of deep red, green or brown, as suits the householder's fancy, present a quaint, old-world effect. Moat of the houses are of the three-room variety capped by a loft reached by a ladder, but circumscribed as these quarters are, they are no bar to large families. These humble roofs shelter on an average from ten to fifteen children, often as many as twenty. Early marriages and many children
