There is a perceptible difierence of atmosohere at Rougemont. It is near- ly always dead e¢alm. This is ex- plained as due to the hills' shelter.

It is recognized that the fishermen of Gloucester have long monopolized fiction and poetry as being the real atchers of cod, and the most pictur- esque of those who make their living on the Grand Banks, I you ask a Bluenose, that is a resi- dent of Nova Scotia, who are the real bankers, he will tell you "the men of Lunenburg." Lunenburg is the rival of Gloucester in the hunt for cod, and a pretty husky rival, too, for fisher men from that seaport on the south shore of Nova Scotia are the backbone, of that industry that is valued well over $3,000,000 a year. The Lunenburg fishermen spend about half the year at home, but they do not use this time sitting around the docks spinning yarns. They are busy with lobster catching or in the woods. When March comes around they be- gin to make ready for the sea. " The schooners are put in order and stocked with provisions. On the SBun- day nearest March 21 the churches hold special services, and prayers go up for safe and prosperous voyages. They are devout, these Bluenose fish- ermen, but they keep an eye on the profits, too. The fishing schooners are small, rarely reaching 100 tons. The law re- quires vessels exceeding that sige to carry a certified master, and the Lun- |enburg man can't see the use of pass. ing examinations In navigation, With a compass and a dipsey lead the mas- ter of a banker ean find his way in any. weather. : The start from Lunenburg is like the start of a yacht race. Most of the bankers go out on the same day, and there is good-natured rivalry among the skippers as to who shall first an- chor on the fishing grounds. : When a skipper makes a berth in a likely place real work begins. The dories, flat-bottomed boats about {N- teen feet leng, which are very sea- worthy but don't look it, are put over- board and the trawls are set. These trawls are somethin in the way of fishing lines. The main line is from one to one and a half miles long, with a fringe of smaller lines which carry the hooks. The trawls are anchored at each end and are set like the spokes of a wheel whose hub is the schooner. The dor- ies move up and down the trawls, tak- ing off the fish and rebaiting the hooks.. It sounds easy, but in a heavy sea it is ticklish- business. When a schooner has loaded full with fish, cut and salted down, she steals away from the shrieking medley of foghorns and makes) for Lunen- burg. sizable which would indicate that one of her 'rew has gone. The fleet gets back from the spring trip about the end of May, unloads and sails back again on summer trip, which lasts until autumn. a pi-------------- Room For Canadian Coal. Of the large coaling trade of the West Indies, Canada gets practically no share, and yet there appears to be no. reason -why some of the coal might | hot be imported fram Canada, as the greater part of it is steam coal. Trini dad and Barbadoés divide their im- portation of this article equally with the United States and Great Britain, while 8t. Lucia, which has the largest bunker coal trade, takes all its coal from the United States, reports the Canadian commissioner at Barbadoes. He adds: "It may be remarked that Canada last vear, as during the last few years, has taken the greatest share of the exports of sugar and molasses, amounting to about 55 per cent. of the total export. Upto June 3 of the present" year, exports of sugar, as taken from the recordsiof the cham- ber of commerce, were 5268 tons, 4.425 of which went to Canada; and of the total export of molasses--34,- 40 puncheons--18,092 puncheons went also to the same market. New Forest Atlas. The Forestry Branch of the Depart- ment of the Interior has issued the first sheets of a new "forest atlas," whieh will include plans of the Dom- inion Forest Reserves, of which the surveys are now being carried on. The "legend" is now being sent out; this | designates the marks used to denote natural featyres, the different species of trees and the amounts oi timber that can be obtained per acre from timbered areas, entries of various kinds (such as homesteads,. mineral lands, ete.), burns or brules, cuttings and sales, roads, trails, railways, can- flumes, telegraph and telephone lines, buildings, etc. One of the small- or forest reserves, that known as "The Pines," situated near Prince Albert, has already been mapped, and map of the Riding Mountain For- est Reserve, .in northwestern Mani- toba, is now in preparation. As sur- veys of the forest reserves and other forested districts are completed, maps of these will be prepared and added to the atlas. Another Ice-Breaker, The Lady Grey, the ice-breaker of the Dominion Government, is to be given a consort, and the Earl Grey Pp just been launched from the ship- building yards of the Vickers Com- puny at Barrow-in-Furness. The new hoateaharks a considerable advance in~slze and speéd, and it is hoped that it will prove even more success- ful than the Lady Grey, though the older boat has done good work in her threz years of existence. Although the pew vessel is built very power- fully and with a special view to the breaking of the makers promise i that she will be able to make seven- { teen knots an hour. Of Canadian Parentage.

The Canadian Geological Survey, under the late Dr. G. M. Dawson, gathered from time to time a )irge amount of interefing and valuable information regarding the native races. Since the death of Dr. Daw- son this portion of the work of the department has been allowed to lan- guish, but this year a fresh start was in a direction which cannot but prove to be of great historical and ethnological interest,' as well as being of particular value in allowing the people of Canada to become bet- ter acquainted with their fellow citi- zens who occupy the vast frozen ter ritory which forms our northern boundary. The present subject of ethnological research by the department is the Esquimaux race; and it is deemed especially desirable that this work should be resumed amongst them just now, because their habits are rapidly changing and becoming more difficult for scientific study, as the white man penetrates the Far North. The Esquimaux is perhaps by his natural gifts the most admirable "of the native races of Canada. There are no more intelligent and kindly people than the Esquimaux of North- ern Canada, and none that so readily respond to courtesy and good will; and yet they are probably the most misunderstood and misrepresented of all native races. The expedition which was fitted out last year for the study of the Esquimaux consists of Mr. V. Stefansson and Dr. R. M. Anderson. The undertaking is by no means a new task to Mr. Btefansson, as it is the second of a series of jour- neys he has planned to carry out within the, next fifteen years, during which period he hapes to visit and study every Esquimaux settlement from East Cape, Siberia, to the east coast of Greenland and the shores of of Labrador. The present journey is planned to cover two years, one of which Mr. Stefansson expects to spend between Cape Brown and Bathurst Inlet, Can- eda, the other on the Colville river, Alaska. He believes that near the mouth of the Coppermine river there is a group of Esquimaux who have never seen a white man; these he desires to study while as yet they are uncontaminated by white influence, and before "civilized" ways change their system of living. Dynamited by Dog. The news of a very remarkable ac- cident at a mining camp at Hanging Stone Lake, near Gowganda, by which one man was killed and two injured, was brought to Montreal. re- cently by Frederick Dunn, a resident of St. Johns, Quebec, who aceom- panied from Northern Ontario the remains of Andrew Dunn, the prin 'ipal victim, for. interment at his old home just outside that city. Andrew Dunn and companions were dynamiting a vein. The fuse wai ignited and the men ran, followed by Dunn's collie dog," which picked up the dynamite stick in his teeth The explosion came just as the dog reached the cabin and dropped the explosive. \ Dunn was killed almost instantly, his skull being fractured in. two places, and one of his arms and two ribs being broken. Ome of the other men, Sims, was stunned and badly cut about the neck, while the othe: miner, Hackett, escaped with a few bruises. The dog, which was the cause of the disaster, bounded away and escaped injury. A Man of Weight. People in many Ontario towns know Mr. Holland, of Whitby, who has dope excellent work as grand organifer of the Sons of Temperance Mr. Holland is a big man--not only big in achievement, but big in per son. He related on one of his tours how he had gone into a certain place to be weighed, but as the scales went up to only two hundred and fifty pounds, he could not succeed. One time he went to the little vil lage of Port Robinson, where the lodge was presided over by a demure but droll Worthy Patriarch. After the customary preliminaries Mr. Hol land was admitted, and as he made his ponderous way to the platform the halting Worthy Patriarch remark- ed dryly: "Well! they told me Holland was coming, but I think it's all of Hol land and part of Belgium." She Didn't Go Back. Miss Agnes Laut, whose address on "yellow journals" and how they may be got rid of, created such a stir at the International Congress of We' men, has ever been noted as one with views of her own and with a courage of her convictions. In Winnipeg she is remembered as a delicate girl with definite opinions and an independent spirit that entirely belied her looks. When Miss Laut left Winnipeg to try her fate in the big world of jour nalism and literature, there were not wanting these who predicted that she would soon be back at her desk in The Free Press office. Her first work was the reporting of the meetings of the Joint High Commission. in Que- bee, and in this she succeeded in @ way that ranked her work with that of the ablest Ottawa and Washington correspondents. From that time her rise has been steady, and though she has several times visited Winnipeg, she has evinced no tendency to occu py her old desk. The Moose. The moose is the largest animal now existing of the deer family, standing often as high as six feet, and som time weighing 1,200 pounds; but not withstanding its great size, it i8 very fleet of foot. When brought to bay, a blow with its fore foot or horns is a very serious matter for the-huntsman Ofter when pursued by man they have escape, for sometimes, if closely fol- lowed, they double in their tracks and stand motionless in some thicket until the hunter has slipped by, when they quickly glide away.
