ery business. Quebec is full of
quaint old churches, many of them
rich in historical legendary. Notre
Dame, which is located in lower
Quebec is insignificant looking but
it is one of the landmarks and is
well preserved. It has stood many
wars and has been remodelled and
beautified. The Basilica was built
by Champluin in it are a number
of valuable paintings brought from
France by Canadian priests in 1793.
The old gates whioh were only large
enough to admit a horse and wagon
have been removed and stieets now
piss through at various points.
The Kent gate and St. Louis gate
have been rebuilt and enlarged into
handsome arches. Quebec is full
of monuments besides the oues al
ready lnentionod there are many
more. On the side of a cliff in
Lower Quebec beneath the citadel
is a marker placed by our country
men at the point where Montgomery
fell Dec. 31st, 1775 while a tempt

right to erect a monument here.
A monument has been erected to
