That, at any rate, has been the policy ot the British Gosernment=with regard to whaling off" the Shetiand { Isles; the few wouldngoe-whaling; the many followed herring, and the lean kine swallowed "the-fat--ab loasty sor saidt the herring-fishers, Opinion differs as tor the. methodol consumption. Some hold thas:the- deli- cate herring leave the water which is tainted with the blood of the whale. Others also complain «of the destruc. tion of the whale. As the collie she herds the sheep, so the whale s the herring, they say, driving them in from the outer ocean. Whales, they declare, are always to be found on i the outer edge of herring shoals. They ldo not explain how herring shoals come to exist where no whales be--off Yarmouth, for instanee. However, much speaking has pre- vailed in this instance, and a 40-mile limit has been seeured to the herring fishermen by Act of Parliament. No vessel registered in Britain may take 80 much as a "baby finner" from out the sacred water. It is the Norwegians who hunt for whales off the Shetland Isles. Driven away from their own coasts because of the jealousy of the ocod-fishers, they have gone to Shetland to incur the wrath of the herring-fishermen. But being hardy Norsemen they thrive "for a' that." Four whaling stations have been established within twenty-five miles of Lerwick--the Alexandra Whaling Co., the Noronna Whaling Co., the Shetland Whaling Co., the Olna Firth Co.--and over 400 whales on an aver- age are captured during the season. These are from fifty to eighty feet in length. . Once secured, the whale'is pure pro- fit. From ten to thirty barrels of oil are found in the blubber, tons of good meat provide food for Norwegians, Danes, Swedes, and Japanese, or are cured and ground into beef-meal for feeding cattle, while the bones and offal are sent to the bone mill to be turned into splendid manure. Whale steak is consideréd by some to equal ox steak, with a finer flavor, and it is sold for as little as 10 cents per pound. But the Bhetlanders are fad to pack it off--fleth and bone; ike the herring, they scent the whale, and the perfume ig not odorous. Only the whalers are iMApervious to it, or, perhaps, indifferent. © To secure the whale is their one and only concern. For this purpose they have powerfully built little vessels, about 100 feet in length and 20 feet in beam, which will not only withstand the buffeting of the high northerly seas, but the at- tentions of the whale. These are not always of the most desirable kind. Recently a motor whaling schooner off Alaska had good eause to resent them, notwith ing they were in self defence. The whale, maddened by the hare poon wound, charged the stern of the vessel with its head, and succeeded in #0 damaging it that the whaler sank in four minutes. The entire bottom of the schooner had been crushed in. Happily the crew were able to escape iol their small boat. It is the death-struggle of the whale which constitutes the chief danger to the whaler. Sometimes the harpoon kills it outright, for inside the clever- ly contrived weapon is an explosive cartridge. Sent whiszing on its way by the stout little cannon, which is fixed to a steel platform at the bow of the whaling vessel, the force of striking the ale explodes the cart- ridge, and if a vital spot has been reached, the whale dies at once. But that vital spot is hard to The conditions of hunting make It so. Imagine the little steamer well be- yond the 40-mile limit. The First concern of her crew is to sight a whale. The lad in the crow's nest has the best chance. "Whales in sight!" is. his first ¢ri- umphant ery, and down below all is activity. The steamer heads for the spot' where the spouts were seen. In the meantitiie, the whales have dis. appeared. They only come up to breathe, and, having taken their fill, they dive below again. But in twenty minutes or so they must repeat the operation, and then it depends entirely on the direction the whales have taken if the whaler is to have a shot. The difficulties of shooting are im- mense, Even if a whale actually comes within range--a distance of 50 yards or less--he may not raise him- self. sufficiently out of the water to gite the marksman a chance. So it happens that a sporting shot may only suweceed in ing the whale. Nevertheless, the whaler has him on "a little bit of string."

Bir Claude Champion de Crespigny Has Doné Everything. Sailor, soldier, big-game hunter, tleeplechase rider, boxer, swimmer, oarsman, balloonist--there is no man who can point to a more wonderful cord as an alloound sportsman, or fell of more varied experiences, than Sir Claude Champion de Crespigny. who, in "Forty Years of a 8 man's Life" relates the story of his career. 4 It is scarcely an exaggeration to say that Bir Claude has done every- thing (hat can be done in the way of sport, and even to-day, at the age of sixtyfour, he rides hard to hounds, indulges in physical exer- dises with the zest of youth, and hopes to follow up the winning of the int-to-point Joon race at Hurl BR this year by carrying off some aviation prizes. He has man- aged to break more bones in his body without doing himself permanent in- jory than any other man. His cala- logue of injuries includes, three arm- bones smashed when hunting, three ribs which he eracked when steeple- chasing and ome which must be put down to a cab accident, one finger which a horse broke for him, and two fingers which he broke on another perhaps widely populmr sailor gave any clear indications of the greatness to which he was to aiisin by and by. But I do recollect that he was then, as always, a spirited and plucky fellow. Like Mareus, and myself, too, I rather fancy he has been in--well, an two or three 'mills' since those ays. "Charlie Beresford," he continues, "though full of good nature is bad to rub up the wrong way. Once he was driving a drag with several ladies in it home from some races--I forget where. Two or three offensive fel- lows in a dog-caxt shot peas at the ladies. 'Charley, bided his time. Presently it came. He very skilfully to lock the wheel of his coach in that of the dog-cart. Then, stiblimely nr of remon- strances, he bore doggedly to the right till the dogcart was precipitat. «ed with its occupants into a dash diteh. Charley drove on as thoug nothing had Sy There is a rather good story, too, told of Lord Glasgow, and how he was prevented from blackballing a candidate for ip .of the Joékey Club. Two blackballs were sufficient to kill a candidate, and, as it was known that General Peel and Lord Gl w intended to blackbail the idate, telegrams to them on the day of the election summoning to Newmarket on urgent business. The trick was suc- cessful, and the general and his lordship returned to find the man they did not like a member of the club. "We wese not above - practical jokes in those 'says Bir Claude; 'but for a practical joke commend me to one which was to ing down to the West.of England and visiting the house of a certain gen- tleman, well disguised as bum- bailiffs. ~ Their scheme need not have miscarried, had it not been dis- closed to a fourth party, who wired down to the intended victim warning him that three notorious London cracksmen were shortly going to visit his house. The police were put on directly the con- showof indignation. In durance vile, NT they kept for several hours, until they were able to prove them- selves three cavalry officers." The late Bir John Astley, known to his intimate friends as "Mate," was an inveterate practical joker, and played a good one on Bir Claude himself while the latter was indulg- ing in an after-dinner snooze. "The Mate" could not resist the tempta- tion of painting me a moustache with a burnt champagne cork. My son and a friend, who were present, per- fitted it with, perhaps, some mis- giving. They would certainly have owed no other man than Sir John Astley to take the liberty. ' A Clergyman's Ghost-Story. A st story was told by Rev. E. Singleton, D.D., in a sermon delivered at the Singleton believes that angels minis. ter to people, and that they are reluc- tant to speak of their experiences.

A Regiment of Giants. The awe-inspiring stature of Win- nipeg's "Highland iment, which was reeently presem with a stand of 'colors, is mot only the subject of pardonable pride on the part of the citizens of the western metropolis, but the provocation of amazement among visitors. When Gen. Sir John Freneh made his inspection of the battalion, he was accompanied by the most distinguish- ed officers of Canada's militia. There- by hangs a tale. +/+ Major-General Lessard, each time the companies wvame swinging by, could not.suppress an exclamation of astonishment at their height. Anoth- er member of the staff, himself a six- footer, sought to make light of the ap- parent height of the Highlanders by claiming that their feather bonnets made them look so tall. Captain Ket- chen, one of the local officers, how- ever, asked) the seventy-two inched visitor to stand up against one of the men. The visiting officer did, and he found himself fully four inches "below the gigantic 'soldier, quite apart from the bouwmnet, which, to use his own words: "Seemed to be far away above the snow line." They grow big men on the western plains. "A" company of this regiment does not pokseps-2 man less than six feet tall, and ti #4 a liberal sprink- ling of giants from six feet three and upwards. This reealls Frederick the Great's regiment of giants. Tried Himself. Orillia recently had the unusual spectacle of a istrate trying a case against himself. Moreover, after hear. ing the evidence, the police magis- trate dismissed the , When court opened on Friday morn- ing, the first case called was that against "George H. Clark, for allow- ing his dog to be at liberty without a muzzle." The charge was laid by Constable George Reeve, who was act- ing as day eonstablé in the absence of Chief Reid, on his holidays. The police magistrate, who evidently had an easy conscience, pleaded not guil- ty. Three witnesses, Messrs. J. D. Knox, A. Clark and C. E. Hewett, Constable In the num- | GROWTH OF CANADA. Her Amazing Progress Is Attracting World-wide Attention. This is the tenor in which popular American papers are mow speaking of Canada. It shows a change of front in the last two decades: Canada's amazing growth is altract- ing world-wide attention. Not so very long ago that country was re- garded as being one. of the lesser ele. ments in the progress of the world as a whole, but now, within a few years, there has come about a change which has placed Canada well toward the head of the list of those countries classed as well-to-do in a material sense. Natural resources have been developed through a splendid system of railroads, homesteaders have flock- ed in, and on every hand prosperity ia pvident. ree at factors in the progress of Cay are agriculture, immigra- tion and transportation, each of which is making a great showing. It means the dawn of a great and mighty nation, and one that is destin- éd to have a great influence in the affairs of the world. In western Canada alone there are 334,000,000 aeres of land, only 44,000,000 of which are now homesteaded. With only 12.- 000,000 acres of this under grain crop last year about 147,000,000 bushels of wheat were produced. What will it be when all of that immense territory is under cultivation? Is it not evi- dent that Canada will become the bakeshop of the bunch? _ That the world is beginning to real- ise this is shown by the confidence displayed in Canada's future Dur ing the past five years Great Britain has invested $605,000,000 in Canada, mostly 'in railways, Government and municipal debentures, and during the same - period, the United States has invested $226,000,000 in Canada, most- ly in establishing manufacturing plants. Quite recently French bank- ers have made known their desire to invest $50,000,000 in Canada this year. The trend of the times is fairly shown in these figures. One can see plainly why the United States should look to closer trade re- lations with Canada. The fact that the wheat producing power of the United Btates has now almost reach- ed its zenith, while the population grows unceasingly, shows that some- time, soon, the United States will have to buy her wheat from abroad. There is no doubt about this being a fact. In the face of a possibility such as this the United States should lay the foundation of her future food supply by meeting Canada squarely and fairly as a nation that has some- thing of untold value to gain, to obtain which the complete sacrifice of present dgy vantage and ideas would be as nothing compared with cheap food for the next generation, and this one, too. The Storm of 1905. The great snmow-storm of 1905 will be long remembered. The upper end of Lake' Superior was fairly strewn with the stranded. The Western Star went ashore near Apostle Islands; the Corey wrecked om Gull Rock: on Minnesota Point the steamer England came iq grief. The life-saving crew rescued the men. At Duluth piers the Metaffa broke her back and nine men were lost. At Lester Park, six miles to the east, the Crescent City went on the rocks. The men laid a hatch across the rail and walked ashore. It was a more convenient wreck than most. The Lafayette, further east, was a total loss, though her engines and boilers were afterwards salvaged. The Edenborn and her tow barge, the Ma- deira, were put up high and dry. The Spencer and her barge, Amboy, were lost, and the Monkshaven may still be seen on the rocks of Angus Island. The ill-fated Metafla had ventured out of Duluth's bottle harbor, but de- cided to turn back. She headed for the mouth of the canal that leads into Duluth ad into a pound net. A strong current was pouring out between the fers, and a gross swirl caught the w of the Metaffa and flung it to one side. She missed the channel, hit one of the piers, swung around it broad- side, and dropped outside the break- water, where the seas drove her into shallow water. She grounded 100 feet ont from the breakwater. Here, with in plain view of thousands of people, she was beyond aid. Thé seas had all Superior and a hurricane behind them, and piled up over the stranded vessel and over the breakwater. Two men in the deckhouse tried to make their way aft, where the others were, and where there was warmth from the boiler. The crowds on shore saw these two men washed overboard, and beheld one of them caught in a cross swirl and restored to the deck. He clung there exhausted, and was pres- ently frozen in the centre of a solid cake of ice. The storm raged all night. When they got out to the Metaffa the next day, they found the water had put the engine fires out. Nine men they found frozen, and they chopped them out of solid ice one foot thick, with axes. As for the Metaffa, her back was broken. They towed her into the dry dock at Buperior and took her apart. The machinery was removed and sold. An Overburdened Men. There is a certain hen, residing on a certain small farm on the Hamilton road, just outside the city limits, that is one of the most overburdened of mothers. ; Some time ago she hatched out nine beautiful chicks. The same day two incubators which had been at work brought out 175 birds. The hen, being a poor hand at arithmetic, and possessing an open heart, imagined herself the mother of the whole tribe, and daily she does 'her best to keep order in the family, and scralch for the 184 little bills, When she croons to them, a avalanche of broilers races in di- rection. 'When she seeks repose, she is almost smothered under brand new chickens.
