And as I am (lccply i11- terested in both religious ideas and secular things. I celebrate this feast in honour of the saint-s and in honour of the animals. “The superstition that the Groundhogs behavior will deter- mine the temperature foi" the next few weeks is a. charming and rather jolly superstition, and has exactly the worth of n11 other superstitions, which is precisely zero. The Groundhog has no more to do with the weather than the alley-cat, yet both annuals have their points. "The Groundhog is not n hog at all; he is our familiar friend, the Woodchuck, a nice, furry, brown animal, and good neighbour I suppose I am the only living» man who has eaten one. When I was seventeen years old and camplrig...I was the cook.. One day I shot a Woodchuck. I par- boiled his carcass for hours 11nd then fried him and served him up hot: and sizzling. Although the boys were hungry, I was the only one who ate the animal; I ate him out. of pride. I have never eaten one rince...hence every second of February I do mental penance oii this day when the little animal makes the first page of many newspapers." Laon, France. embodies in the architec- ture of its magnificent catliedial. a. remarkable tribute to animals. In place of the conventional gargoyles on the towers the medieval architect placed the horned heads of cattle to com- niemorate the patient oxen that had hauled the stones up the hill for the building of the great cathedral. Such a regard for unimlils was very unusual in the Middle Ages and the cathedral is unique be- cause of this feature. Laon is also famous as the birth- place of Pere Marquette (i637- 1675) who came to Canada as a French Jesuit; Missionary and ex- Iplorer in 1666; and for its collec- tion of autographs - more than four thousand including those of i111 the FTQIICh kings, with one or two exceptions, from the tenth century on; many English sover- eigns‘, Napoleon and his marshals; also his hated jailer at St. Helena, Sir Hudson 110w; the Duke of Wellington; George Washington; hafalyetle; and Henry I King of a1 . __.€_i_..__.__..
