PARTS OF CANADA THAT ARE | ALMOST UNKNOWN. i Inland Lakes of the Northland" Are Full Fish, Including the En- connu Which Weighs as Much as | Fifty Pounds -- Less Than 2,000 Persons Are Rulers of This Vast | Ermpire of the North. The vast inland lakes great mnprthlands, as well as the smaller lakes and rivers, are feem- | ing with fish; whitefish, salmon trout, mountain and arctic trout, King * salmon, pike, pickerel, and great varieties of other fish are to be found. Jackfish weighing up to 45 | pounds, trout 50 pounds, and stur- gean over 100 pounds in weight are common. Herring in vast numbers | from the Arctic Ocean 'find their way up the Mackenzie River as far | a& Great Bear Lake. At Great Slave | lake and along the Mackenzie River, | they have a fish peculiar to those | parts. kt was noted by Sir Alexan- der Mackenzie, the discoverer of the river that bears his name, who call- ed it the "Enconnu" (or unknown), which name has stuck to it ever since. It is a large, silvery-scaled fish, sal- mon-like in appearance,- and weighs up to 50 pounds. Wirile this district cannot truth- aly be called an ideal one for stock- raising, although it is considered so by many (the ideal country for stock? | raising existing only in imagination), { the abundance of upland and low- land hay, peasvine and red-top, and | the heavy growth of marsh grass, make it an easy matter to provide | food , fer the wintering of stock Horses forage the year round, and | even those not wanted in harness for | the winter are turned out after the ground freezes in the fall to shift for | themselves through the winter, and! are taken in. againcand put to work | in the spring Even colts are fre-| quently left out for the winter, like the older horses, they paw away the snow and find an abundance of | | nourishing food beneath | Cattle frequently stay out antil | Christmas, after which dairy cows | | and young stock are stabled and fed, | { while the rest are turned out to a traw-stack, which is their only shel- The latter 'generally found | in good condition in the | spring as those that are stabled. The | ercentage of loss is not more thgn per cent, as compared with ten | cent. in the sbuth. The dairying | ndustry is proving a financial and it is certain 'that with im- | provement 'in the breeding of the | herds stock-raising and dairying will oon develop into an important and | profitable industry: The Roeky Mountains are the | home of the famous mountain sheep and goat, the fierce grizzly and the cinnamon bear, all well known there. Elk and a number of are also found here. In the country between the Rockies Hudson Bay, as well as the coast, moose, deer, and black brown bears are common. The timber wolt, coyote wolverine, fox, beaver, otterfisher, marten, mink, er- mine, lynx, rabbit and squirrel are found to be well distributed The saskatoon, or service berry, peculiar to the northwest, and much, sought after by the bears, whose liking for the delicious fruit often lands them within easy reach | of the hunter's rifle Strawberries, raspberries, currants, high and low bush cranberries, gooseberries, cher- ries and number of other berries | are found in great abundance. A mere handful of white people, than 2,000, rule this empire of the north, and attend to the business, which is already estimated by the million-dollar standard. The 30,000 Indians are peaceable, having been | taught by precept, judicious treat- | ment and tactful handling (if not always by example) that the white man's mission among them was one of peace and good-will. In no coun- try in the world are life and pro- perty. safer than in this region, re- mote as it is from all the restraining influences of civilization (and bad whisky). The work of that splendid body, the RN.W.M.P., is greatly ap- preciated by all alike, as.they do their duty without fear or favor, and do not count their personal safety or comfort any®ing while in discharge of their duty. Canada has, in he: Mounted Police, a body of men of which may well be proud. The opinion of such a man as Hon. "dgar Dewdney, for many years Min- ister of the Interior at Ottawa, later Governor of British Columbia, will be of interest. Speaking of the part of the Peace River district that lies irr. British Columbia, he said: "There are undoubtedly many rich mineral deposits still untouched." "Gold has been exploited there for a number of years and nitrate silver has also been discovered in large blocks." "The Peace River country is at pres- ent | practically uminhabited. It can hold and feed millions. The climate is by no means severe." "The open- ing up of this land by railways will mean an immense influx of people north, for there little doubt that it is one of the richest and most at- tractive portions of British Colum- bia." : The present Dominion Government adopting a course in pursu- dng a vigorous and clear-cut policy in the opening up of this country, us evidenced by the extension of the surveys, the extension and the im- 'provement of the mail service, the establishment of an experimental station or. the. Peace River at Fort William, the building of telegraph lines, the improvement: of the water- and in the establishment of a northern land district. The Provin- cial Government see a great future for this land, and are laying out roads, building bridges, assisting rail road construction, building tele phones, establishing schools, encour- aging agricalture and stock-raising ind taking up the regulations of the judicial affairs of the newer portions of the country of of Canada's | ter | to are be as suc- deer | vast and west and grey 18 u loss she 18 18 wise ways Rheumatism promptly driven from the blood with Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Rub-on's never did cure The blood must be reached --and Dr. Shoop's Remedy is made expressly for the blood.

Recent Bad Miups 1 That Have Dis- turbed Grave Ceremonies. The proceedings at a recent Church | Congress were enlivened by the in- trusion of several very fine bulls, of which the following are samples. one meeting Canon A. W. Robinson, in his opening remarks, auditors that his speech "pointed to the verge of bluntness," while later in the evening Bir A. | Coote, explaining his presence at such was like of Jupiter were a gathering, said that he "one of those satellites which, when they were visible, always obscured." The late Mr. collector of mixed metaphors, finding | # rich field im the correspondence that | daily overwhelmed him. A lady, en- closing a small contribution for his schools, wrote: "I hope this widow's mite may take root and spread its | | branches until it becomes a Hercules | pulpit prayers | The probationers added the great preacher's in your hands." of ambitious something to store. One prayed that "God's rod sea of life, so that we may fight the fight of faith and in the end soar to rest." "We thank Thee for this spark of grace; watgr it, Lord," was the sententious, of another Still another prayed, the loins of our mind that we receive 'the latter rain." "As were barrels whose hoops were loose,' was Mr. Spurgeon's laughing com- ment It marked, ter world; yromising young man if we » was an Irish clergyman who re- sadly, "This is a sad and bit- we never strew flowers on is dead" Hibernian cle ric, while another | preaching a funeral sermon while the corpse lay before him, exclaimed, "Here, brethren, living witness and a standing monu- ment of the frailty of human hopes!" Equally unconscious of his humor was the parson who, at the close of his sermon, said: "And now let us pray for the people on the uninhabited por- | '; as also the min- | tions of the earth' ister who, pleading for funds for a | parish cemetery, asked his parishion- to consider the "deplorable con- dition of thirty thousand ristian Englishmen living without Christian burial.' Even more unfortunate was the cle Tgyman who was addressing a wo- man's m Sjonaty meeting. "My sis- ters," he said, solemnly, "it is terr ers rum go into Afriéa for every brother who is sent there." 'Rather a large allowance for one missionary," 'was the whispered comment of one of the sisters to her neighbor. He Doesn't Like Peanuts. When, fifty-four years ago, 8ir Rob- ert Hart was first attached to the jritish Consulate at Ningpo, he had an experience which was the reverse pleasant. He was traveling to and took three weeks instead of one, on account of a monsoon. Provisions gave out, and the ship's company were reduced for twelve days 'to an unsavory diet of water- buffalo and peanuts--all they could get from a nearby island. "Was it any | wonder. that Hart could never after- wards endure the taste of peanuts, or that at the sight of a passing water- buffalo his appetite was clean gone for the day?" This/'i8 not the only occasion when Sir Robert has experienced some of the troubles of starvation. During the Boxer rebellion of 1900, when the Legation of Pekin was besieged by the fanatics, Sir Robert, in common with the other refugees, cheerfully ate mule, "which was hatefully coarse while it was fat, and unutterably tough when it grew lean." Lord Charles Beresford on Irishmen. The Emerald Isle is proud of "Charlie," and "Charlie" is proud of his native land and countrymen "Irishmen may have their faults," he "but give me an Irishman--the fellow that ever was. Could any- body tell more stories than the Irish?" One of the best stories he ever heard was about a fellow who was fond of shooting. He said, "The first bird I éver shot was a squirrel, and the first time I hit him I missed him alto gether, and the next time I hit him I hit him in the same place, and after that I took a stone and dropped him from the tree, and he fell into the water and was shot, and that was the first bird I ever shot." And Lord Charles is never tired of quoting the story of the Irish member of the House of Commons who compared a certain whisky to a "torchlight pro- cession trickling down his throat." Bedlam. The word "bedlam" is a corruption of the word "Béthlehem" and origin- ated as a synonym for chaos at the time when the house of Bethlehem, occupied by a sisterhood of London, became an insane asylum. The treat ment of the insane in tlie early part of the sixteenth century was not well understood, and, according "to the theories then prevalent, it was neces- sary to frighten the patient out of his lunacy. All sorts of awful expedi- ents were resorted to, among them "surprise floors," which slipped from under the feet; "surprise baths' and floggings at the periods of most se- vere illness; hence the name "bed- lam," the result of incorrect spelling, possibly, came easily to stand for aw- ful things. English Peers Can't Vote. Disfranchisement is one of the pe- culiar disabilities under which a peer of the realin suffers. Lord Salisbury once attempted to secure a vote for Hertford and Middlesex, but the re- vising barrister at Hatfield refused the claim on the ground that time had given the disability the character of law and that peers, by the law of Parliament necessary for the. dignity and freedom of the two Houses, were not permitted to vote for members of the House of Commons. Lord Salis- bury took the case to the Appeal Court, but as he could quote 'neither precedent mor authority" he was obliged to go back to Hatfield with- out his vote.--London Chronicle. the not te chif- Among the humble heroes man who has hav fever nan his. wife when handkerchief drawer.
