This   appalling annual   slaughter  of  horses   in Nome is  due,  IVIf.   Whealton states, not alone to thc \"xpv.-'e  of feeding, but also to  the fact \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.. t,  even if kept  through  the   vinter,  the  animals   would  come   out  of confinement in the spring pretty well used  up. Owing to the fact  that they have  to be shot any way, the animals are  already   pretty   well  used  up  by   the  end of the summer,  and  the callousness naturally  arising  from  the yearly slaughter is its worst feature.  Mr.  Whealton  regards  Nome as'tlie  greatest placer     camp in thc. world.  Tho first beach  workings have,    been  exhausted  long  ago,   and   many  supposed  that Nome was   finished.    But  the unique geological  feature maxle'it  a greater camp  than  its  discoverers  ever    hoped  for.   Above tbe  present  .beach was a big flat  or  plain,     running  back to  the mountains,   and investigation showed  that this  was an  old beach, or series of old beaches,  left     high and     'dry by the general  [I'   raising of the coast.    This  flat   has  Mi   proved to be richer  than the present  beach, and it is on the bench claims  that some of the biggest dredges'and  hydraulic     plants in  the world     are  to the east of the original .discovery  fully bears out Mr. Ayres opinion.  In speaking to a reporter Mr- Ayres  staled that the eaves were exceedingly grand, there being nothing just  like them known in the whole world.  Unlike the mammoth caves of Ke>v  tucky and others of lesser renown,  the Deutschman c-^ves have a very  'marked and different formation, being constructed of marble by the  force of water action. For centuries past underground streams have  been pouring out' of these immense  caverns and channels until now they  unequalled in magnificence or grandeur and beauty in the entire world.  Mr. Ayrcs has had large experience  in the pursuit of his profession in un.  Qcrground work, and his opinion, of  the Deutschman caves win be of immense value to tho government as  wen as of great interest, to the Canadian people. The most skeptical  now admit that these wonderful caves will in the near future be the attraction of the continent and the  means of drawing thousands of tourists from an points in Canada, United States and Europe; to the district.  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd   \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  The     report   that,the Terji   Viken  was   to  take only 3,000  tons  of coal   \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd,,.   ,-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd    T\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd ,   ,-.  .  , ,    .    } .   ..      .,        week,  in  Januarv  at   Victoria.

Thc   visit of  the Pilgrim   foo>b.-.all  team of England lo the Eastern States   has    done more for  Association  than even  the  most  optimistic anticipated.    When   Lord   Kilpatrick brought the team of English players,    to  Aniericp.,' with the intention of,showing how the game was played,  it was  thought  it would be altogether   too  slow for  the .Americans.   With     the  American    Rugby, the predominating  game     at 'all   , the colleges  it was  thought  that it  would be a very hard  job to  introduce the game of socker  into  the colleges.   The  English team  played     \"several games  in the  East,  one of which was witnessed hy Tre-  s-idenl  Roosevelt,   who   took   a great  interest  in  the game.    Shortly after  this  match  the  President had   a conference with several of the most prominent supporters  of  American  Rugby.    At   this conference  he took   no  lains    to     show  that  he was  much  more impressed  with the new  game  than he   was  by thc game played by  all   the leading colleges   of the country.   He distinctly     told them that  thc game played   by   the  colleges was  loo rough,  and that the rules should  he amended   so   as to  prohibit      too  much     rough  work.    Almost   immediately     after the meeting the masters, al Harvard  endeavored t-o  introduce  socker  into   the   College       and  met   wilh   great   help   from   tlie ,stu-  diii'ts.    Next in  order came  the I'ni*  vcrsily of  Michigan.    Coach   Yost,  of  (h's   University,   came out  flat-footed  end stated that  thc Rugby game    is  not   footbB.Il,   and   that   socker   will  be   the game in  a few years.       The  nexl  to take the step was the Uni-  vcr.sity of     Chicago.   On  thc recom-  lucndalion   of  President \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Harper,   thc  new  game will be started  at jrlhc College      iuunedialciy.    Although   it  is  not   intended   that   the  Rugby   game  will   be  tabooed,   the new  game  will  be   introduced in  the  literature class,  ment at Wliite Horse between team*  from   these  three  places  some  time  in Januay or February.  The Mounted Police boys at Whit\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  Horse have erected a hockey rink  which would do credit to any city,  and White Horse being the most  central point that splace -will likely  be chosen as the place to hold the  tournament.  There is no talk of sending a team  from the Klondike to tbe East     to  try  conclusions for  the Minto     Cup  this     winter,  though  many staunch  supporters   ot Canada's iuiUou-al  winter     sport ha\\c not, by any    means  given up .hope of  bringing the trophy  to   the  North.   It  is quite   probable  a picked team from the  Yukon territory  will  challenge for the cup within a yean or two.   'lhe niaxt team to  represent  the  Klondike  will   go  out  composed of plajors wilh not only a  past  record     as a qualification,   but  all   tried  and  true players,   the  product  of  the  Northland.

'.'The thoiough and .practical nature  of  the  work done  by divisional,  bii-  gadc. and regimental commanders of  infantry leads me to believe that any  of   the   three  divisions   of the   Alder-  shot Army Corps are now capable of  skillfully   taking  and   entrenching     a  position   in  the dark  as .qf.iickly      accurately,   and  secretly   as  any   division  of infantry in Europe.\"  Thc general goes on to advise olfi-  ,'cers o.f infantry to  turn their minds  before next  year's  work  commences  to     the     practice of great attacks,  which     require several   days   to initiate,' mature\",   develop  and  bring  to  a successful conclusion-,   such attacks  as were used by the Japanese'''at. the  battles  of the Yalu,   Liao-yang,   thc  Shaho,  and Mukden.

Perhaps  we hawj  made the acquaintance o'f Some      oi  them in spring when they went north  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthey  are the  wild ducks.   Do not  expect them to allow you so close a  friendship  as the   robin   and      ,other  birds  that people do not often harm  For the ducks,  you remember,     arc  great  game birds,  and  so they have  a dread of everything that looks like  a shooter.      So hide near the water  and watch them from a distance.  If  wc keep still and out  of sight  they  may come  quite close.    Mo&t  of the  drakes   are handsomely  colored, while  thc ducks are generally grayish   aih'dt  look a good deal alike at a little distance.   When you see thc one distinct  ly  marked,  black next  to white,   or  any very dark and light colors which  met  without blending,  you may     be  pretty   sure   it is a drake.    Three   ol  the kinds  wc see most often are here  tlie   scaup,  thc ma!lad  and the  pin,  ln.il.   Others are the teal,  whi\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd*r yom  may know at  a glance,  they are so  small;   the widgeon,  wood-duck, sinrt-  cier,      black  duck,   bald-pate,  golcxa:-  eye,  bufflehead,   and   the   merg|i.:\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdser\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd,  or' fish  ducks.  If,you succeed in getting as?****.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdsainted with, several of these you will do  well. It needs patience and kkkw '  eyes, and if you can add to these an  opera glass, you will be still better  fitted for duck-hunting.  ' To stalk ducks near the shore in  open water, approach them hy short  stages  whenever they arc all     under'  sight, well worth an, hour's waiting.  Although ducks are very wary and  alert, they do not readily see danger  when they are about to alight m the  water. Thi.s appears to be rather a  difficult act, for it seems to engage  their  entire  attention.  The  most   common kinds  of ducks  can iarely  be seen  closely.   Evtn  the  black  duck is not often to he* studied  except   at   an   aggravating   distance,  although he is found  in every marsh.  It.     is a common saying  that water  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd leaves     no   trail.    But  where some  black ducks  had been pluming     and  sunning, themselves   I have read     the  story     very    plainly  in   the water,  where' numerous small,   downy feathers floated  and clung to  lhe grassy  tussocks.  In a lagoon, in  Jackson Park,  Chicago,  where no shooting is allowed,  the ducks  are  remarkably  tame,   although  on  Lake Michigan,  a quarter  of -a mile away, they arc hunted  and  are wild.  There are other places  where ducks  find sare retreats  from shooteis  and  in    these they are found to be very  laine.

The romance of their  friendship, \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.ne of the sweetest in history, is related by Gustav Kobbe in tho  Delineator. Tiie last tragic scene in the  life of the composer bas often been described and has been painted by Barrios, but It is so' touching that one may  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.veil read another version of it.   M;*  Kobbe writes:  \"Then came what is perhaps tho  most touching scene that has been  handed down to ns from tlie lives of  the great composers. When Delphina  entered what was soon to be the deatb  chamber Chopin's sister Louise and a  lew of his most intimate friends were  gathered there. She took her place by  ILouise. When the dying man opened  his eyes and saw her standing at th\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  foot of his bed, tall, slight, draped in  white, resembling a beautiful angel,  and mingling her tears with those of  Louise his lips moved, and those near-  . \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdst him, bending over to catch hia  words, heard him ask that she would  sing.  . \"Mastering her emotion by a strong  effort of the will, she sang in a voice of  bell-like purity the canticle to the Virgin attributed to Straiiella\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdsang it so  devoutly, so thereally, that the dying:  man, 'artist and lover of the beautiful  to the very last,' whispered in ecstasy:  'How exquisite!  Again, again!'  \"Once more she sang, this time a  psalm by Marcello. It was the haunted  liourof twilight. The dying day draped  the' scene in its mysterious shadows.  Those at the bedside had sunk noiselessly on their knees. Over the.mournful accompaniment of sobs floated the  voice of Delphine like a melody front  heaven.\" .,  -Jj.;ue?s-hr*  COUVE  ISLAND  AND  Its    Great    Resources  No part of British Columbia today offers so many advantagss to the  investor'as docs VANCOUVER  ISLAND.
