French; and this so pleased her that she composed a tragicomic translation of nearly the whole of the New Testament, and had it acted in the great hall before the King, her husband. For the purpose she secured the best comedians that could be procured from Italy; and as these buffoons are born only to afford amusement, and, monkey-like, to mimic what may meet the humours of their masters, so these people, recognizing the inclination of the Queen, interlarded the text of these plays with roundelays and virolais on the theme of the clergy. Always some poor monk or religieuse was made the butt in one of these comedies or farces."

Florimond de Rémond goes on to say that some of the preachers harboured by Marguerite were not of high character. Among them was Solon, a runaway Carmelite, a "brave et courageux moine," who embraced the doctrines of Calvin, and to make up for wasted opportunities in the past married and buried five wives in succession.

Some of the sacred pieces enacted before the King and Queen were the Nativity, the Adoration of the Magi, the Flight into Egypt; and into these plays scurrilous and indecent songs were introduced, without a word of protest from the preachers.

Marguerite took as her valet Clement Marot, who had not the best of characters, and scandal said that she liked him a little too well.

Unsuspectingly Marot did a great work for Calvinism in France.

He had translated the Psalms of David into popular rhythm. His metrical version became the rallying songs of the Huguenots, and formed the basis of their liturgy. They were set to popular folk-airs.

The French ladies, as he said himself, placed

leurs doigts sur les espinettes pour dire saintes chansonettes.

KILLING OF NEWBORN HARP SEALS IN CANADIAN WATERS

91 STAT. 1669 Apr. 6, 1977 [H- Con. Res. 142]

Whereas the annual six-week harp seal hunt in Canada is scheduled to begin March 12, 1977, amidst growing public concern and protest; Whereas the quota for this year's hunt has increased from one hundred and twenty-seven thousand to one hundred and seventy thousand seal pelts; Whereas the 1977 quota will allow hunters to kill a high percentage of the newborn seal pup population; Whereas there is enough conflicting scientific data available indicating that the 1977 quotas may be unsound from a conservation point oi view; and Whereas there is a growing international appreciation of the need to preserve animals which are or may become endangered species: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives {the Senate concurring), That, because the killing of newborn harp seals in Canadian waters is considered by many citizens of the United States to be cruel, and if continued at the current high level may cause the extinction of that species of seals, the Government of Canada is urged to reassess its present policy of permitting such killing in Canadian waters.
