He had come\nback east to see \"the folks,\" aud lliey\nhad expected him to stay, but ne would\nnot, no, not yet. Maybe in a few years,\nwhen he was too old to fish, or do much\nof anything, be might come back, but\n... lid not know. There was a something iu the swish of the tide and the\nsmell of the ocean and the rock of his\nlittle fisning smack out there that, was\nsailing to bim, and ho wanted to go.\nMany a tourist who has visited the\nPacific' coast and who has been fortunate enough to see the fishing boats\nleavo Steveston on a Sunday evening\nwill understand the desire of the fish-\nerutati to return to the life that would\nalways be a-cnlling him. Hundreds of\nboats gather in for ihe close time, which\nis from ti o'clock Saturday morning un\ntil fl o'clock Sunday evening, to allow\nthe Hsh to get up' the rivers to the\nspawning ground. Promptly at the hour\nof release the llttlo white sailboats, like\na (lock of large birds, unfurl tliolr wings\nand skim oui ovor ihe water.

Some idea of where\nBritish Columbia will stand in this industry in the future may bo gleaned\nfrom tho fact thut, although the average\nannual output for several years has been\nover six million dnllnrs, SO per cent, of\nthis is credited to salmon alone, which,\nexcept halibut, is the only fish that has\nbeen taken in largo quantities foT commercial purposes.\nThe reason tlmt the salmon has fallen\nsuch an easy victim to man itt due to\nits habits, and, by the way, tbo nnmo\nsalmon does not properly belong to any\nfish,in the.

This, however, has not\nbeen authenticated.\n**A peculiar thing about, the salmon is\nthe distortion the heads of the males\nundergo when going up thc rivers. Tho\nDog salmon and the Humpback get their\nnames because of this distortion. These,\nand also tho Spring salmon nnd thc\nCoho, are valuablo commercially in British Columbia.\nSince so much has been written nbout\nthe uncleanliness of canned meats, canned salmon has como in for its share of\ndoubt, but a visit to a canning factory\nin British Columbia usually dispels all\nqualms, There was a time when much\nof the work in tho factories was dono\nby hand, but that time is past, except\nin the smaller factories. In the old\ndays the fish were counted and put on\ntables, behind which Chinnmen stood\nwith largo knives, and eut off tbe heads\nand tnils and removed thc entrails. Now\nbeside the table a large machine called\nthe \"Iron Chink\" docs the wont of\nmany Chinamen. Then in days gone\nby Indians washed the fish nnd sent\nthem on to be cut into pieces of a convenient size to go into cans. This work\nwas done by hand, but now machinery\ndoes it nil. Aftor tno salmon is packed\niu the cans, thc cans are all soldered\nnnd are then put into test tanks. Here,\nif nnv flaws in soldering are detected,\nthe cans nre set aside. If not, they\nare placed in a sotort nnd subjected to\na verv high degree *of hent which thoroughly cooks the fish. Tho cans are\nagain-tested and then conveyed to the\nlabelling and packing rooms. Care is\ntaken-to insure cleanliness^ and to prevent contamination of all kinds.\nHMlbnt, ns mentioned before, are\ncommercially next in importance to the\nsalmon, and they nre found in grent\nnumbers in tbe north. Pacific Ocean. But\nns yet only those banks most ensily\nreached have been fished, and they only\nto a limited extent. The halibut tnken\naverage about fifl pounds, although they\nhave been known to .weigh as high as\n300 pounds. The larger ones are. however, not: quite so good for commercial\npurposes. British Columbia boasts ninny\nother fish which might bc of great value\ncommercially, bucIi as cod, herring.\nsturgeon, smelt, and many, others, but,\nso far. owing to the dosin\u00C2\u00BB of capital to\ngo to thc salmon fisheries, where the\nresults are quick and sure, and also\nto tho Inck or a good innrket. these fish\nhave not boen used commercially so\nmuch ns they will bo whon their vnlue\nbecomes better known.\nBut if it is sport, and not money, that\nis wnnted, it mny be had amid the most\nbeautiful scenery, beside dozens of clear\nflowing rivers, and hundreds of crystal\nInkes. Vancouver Island bas ns yet the\nmost noted fishing resorts, but. there is\nscarcely any plnce thnt one cannot \"go\nfishin',\" and hnve reason to expect a\ngood catch of salmon trout or white-fish.\nThe Kootenny and Southern Yale are\nbecoming noted us fishing resorts, nnd\nns the Province is opened up more bikes\nand rivers will attract the man who\nfinds pleasure with a hook and lino.\nBritish Columbia cannot help having\na large fishing industry for it has a\ncoast line, including Vancouver Island\nan* the Queen Charlotte Islands, of 15,-\n000 miles, protected from the ocenn\nstorms by thousands of islands nnd all\nthe coast waters are teeming wilh life,\nlife from the tiny sardine fo the mighty\nwhale. And the grent advance made in\nsalmon canning is but nn Instance of\nwhat mny be expected in th\u00C2\u00AB future.\nThe first salmon cannery was established on the Fraser River iu 1876, and\nin that venr but O.MOO cases were sent\nout, valued at #40,840. Tu 1900, H!i0,400\neases were packed, valued at $8,008,088,\nIn 1!ll)5, whicli was a big yeur, the pack\namounted to 1,HI*..000 cases valued nt\n$.f.,.5S...onn: In that yenr. for tho first\ntimo in its history, British Columbia\nsuperseded Nova Scotia as the bnnner\nfish-producing Provinco of Canada.\nBut thore is ono dnnger that threot-\nons the salmon fishing industry of\nBritish Columbia, tho samo dnngc- thnt\nthreatens nlwnys when game or fish aro\ntoo easily taken, and tnat is, that with\nso many clever devices for capturing thc\nflnlmoti'beforo they enter the rivers not\nenough may reach the spawning grounds\nto keep up tho supply.

It was in the\nMalay Peninsula that M. Rosny had tbia\nadventure. When, one morning, he\ncaught sight of a bicycle standing in a\nplantation shed, he could uot resist tho\ntemptation of taking a ride, in view of\ntho fact that he had not had a spin ou\na whoel since leaving France.\nHe rode for about six miles through\nthe rice nnd coffee fields, and then found\nhimself in the heart of a forest. As he\nwas enjoying the beauty of the place,\nthere came to hia ears the sound of\ncrunching of branches, and he very\nBoon realized that something massive\nbut light-footed wna approaching. Thirty yards from where he was a tiger had\nemerged from the jungle. At the time\nof the beast's appearance Rosny was\ndismounted and seated on the ground.\nHe dared not move a finger. To repeh\nhis wheel lie must get to the road. This\nwaa impossible without attracting the\nattention of tho beast, and in two leaps\nthe tiger would be upon the Frenchman.\nWith great nonchalance the tiger at\nlength turned toward the depths of the\nforest. Then, unable to endure tbe situ-\nntiou longer, Rosny clambered to bis\nfeet, scampered over the intervening\nobstacles, caught the btcyclo, and ran\nalongside, his hnnds on tiio handle-bnr.\nIn a flash, as he was mounting, he\ncaught sight of the big tiger crouching\nfor a spring. He heard tbe beast at tbe\nfirst bound land not far behind him. In\nthe brief space between the first and\nsecond bounds the Frenchman got himself well started nnd balanced for the\nstruggle.\nHis fourth bound brought the tiger\nvery near. The r^ext time the Frenchman felt the wind of his fall. A second\nInter his shoulder or paw touched the\ntire and mnde the rider swerve. Then\nRosny lost one pedal, then both. He regained tnem both, but, on account of tho\ndelay, a claw once more grazed the rear\ntire.\nAt this instant thc participants in\nthis terrible rnce came to a very narrow bridge\u00E2\u0080\u0094two boards Bide by side\nover an irrigation canal. The bicycle\nwent over it aB true ns an arrow. The\npaBsage must have slightly retarded the\ntiger, for, although the Frenchman dared not look round, he felt the beast to\nbe farther off.\nThey were now between two fields\nof bananas. A small tree had been cut\nand thrown on the road, bo that it completely barred the way. There was nothing to do but to try to take it at top\nspeed. The i-renchmnn pedalled furiously, nnd, although nearly thrown over\nby tho shock of crossing the obstacle, he\nsucceeded in recovering his balance and\ngoing on, on, until he reached a smart\ndecline, which he rolled down like a cannon-ball. At a turning of the road the\nplantation buildings came into view.\nThe Frnechman could not Bay when\nthe tiger abandoned the race. When the\nrider shot into the group of his friends,\nhis flrst instinct was to look around in\nthe expectation of finding the beast at\nhla heels, ready to slay all.\nWHAT SNOWSTORMS COST\nTHE coat of snowstorms to a large\ntown iu illustrated by the accounts\nof the Corporation of Manchester\n(England), where it is stated that to\nclear away falls aggregating 15 inches\niu depth during the winter of 1909-10\nentailed aa expense of $29,705 and gave\nemployment to no fewer thnn 15,0-IQ\nA Thorough Pill.\u00E2\u0080\u0094To clear the stem\nuch and bowels of impurities and irri\ntaut* is necessary when th\u00C2\u00ABir action is\nirregular.

It is almost time that the Government\nv\u00C2\u00BBas sending out a.man to select a site for the experimental\nfarm on Vancouver Island. This has been dangled be-\nf'ore the electors of every district on the Island during the last\ntwo Dominion elections, and no doubt it will be made use of a\ngain at the next. In the past it bas been customery for the\nvoters in each district to be quietly assured that a site has\nbeen fixed upon in that particuar district, and all that remains\nto make it absolutely certain that the sites mentioned will be\nselected is that the district sball \"vote right.\"\nThe greatest protection against fire that any city can\nhave is a good water supply, nud we can congratulate oursel\nves in Cumberland that we have a water supply that is second\nto none, both as to purity and force, in British Columbia.\nWe believe that it is about time the Board of Underwriters recognized this fact, and made a substantial reduction in\nfire insurance rates in this city.\nTHE 1SLANDKR, CUMBERLAND, HO\nTHE BIG STORE\nA number of convictions have been secured in the police\ncourt lately for swearing on the public street.\nThe activity of the police in stamping out this evil is to\nbo warmly commended, and we hope to see them continue the\ngood work.\nPersonally we have no-objection to men swearing, if they\nfeel like it, and if-they choose a locality for so doing, where\nthere is no possiblity of tbem disturbing the neighborhood, but\nat times it is almost impossibe for a lady to walk tbe length\nof our main street without having to listen to language that is\nanything but suitable for the street.\nWe do not know of any city where this evil is tolerated\nas it is here, and the sooner it is stamped out the better.

That organ had lonft\nheen overtaxed, anil had, aftor years.of\nstrenuous physical effort, become abnormally large and in turn Jwmiie flc-\ngonorate, so that it could^o longer'be\nrelied upon to fight- a battle which it\nmiRlit safely have waged withotit the\nprevious strain.\nThis entire question iatobly considered\nby Dr. Albert E. Sterne,' in liis presidential address before tho Ohio Valley\nIWcdicnl Association.\n\"During the developmental years,\"\nhe tells us, \"the comparative demand\nmade upon the heart is pretty well up\nto its limits all of tho time, for with\nbody growth there ia constantly increasing tissue formation. This new tissue requires nourishment, and this eau\nbe conveyed only through the circulation. After what we term full growth\nhas been reached-there is relanvmyprtd\nactually, less strain placed upon 'the\nheart, 'so that it ean more readily respond to any unusual yet reasonable do-\nmand mnde upon its power. During the\nvenrs of adolescence, however,'while the\nheart is being taxed to iti capacity\nmost of the time, it cannot' be'aafely\nasked to do too strenuous service. Tlte\ngrowing boy or girl ,wbo com^laiuB .of\nshortness of breath, pain itl \"thi? side;\nand palpitation upon moderate or prolonged effort, instanew this, (dictum\nclearly. Examples of ibis kiud are ac\ncommon as to requiro only the merest\nmention. After the developmental period, such phenomena become less frequent, even though the demand upon\nheart nnd blood vessels be considerably\ngreater.\n\"By means of accurate apparatus\nthe tension to which the circulation is\nsubjected can be. measured, and nny iuerense or decrease from the normal be\nregistered. Increase in tension, that,is,\nforce for the heart and,elasticity for\nthe arteries, means increased muscular\neffort and expenditure on the. part 'of,\nthe heart. This the organ c/in safely\ngive, if the. demand be not toOj jyreat- or\ntoo'constsnt; but only*then, for it-must\nbe remeinbered .that the' heirt..la' a\nmuscle\u00E2\u0080\u0094indeed, a very powerful, one,\nand, like every other muscle, it adds to\nits intrinsic'volume through use; that\nis, it becomes enlarged. Once this condition becomes established, the heart\ncontinues to exert undue force automatically, and drives the blood too vigorously against the nrterial walls, to\nthe lasting detriment of tho latter,\nwhioh. striving to maintain theirvnnr-\nmal compensatory relationship, increase\ntheir oWn muscular coM. :an'd. herewith\nis established an abnormal condition, a\ntrue, pathology, a real wicioua cycle.\nEven in\" minor degree such n condition\nennnot be regarded lightly, as baneful\neffects in nftcr-life are pretty sure to\nfollow. Lowered resistance jsrid.lessened vitality are pretty certain sequolae.\nIn tho major degrees the effocts nre real-\nlv disastrous; Here we see often excessive idiopathic hypertrophy, or essential heart enlargement, due wholly to\nthe constant strain which had been\nplnced upon thnt organ, either at a\nperiod when it had all it could reasonably do to fulfill its normal duty, or .nf-\nter \"this period hss been passed, by whipping it to activity beyond its potential\ncapacity. Sooner or later overy hypertrophic muscle undergoes degeneration,:\nand every hypertrophic heart does tho\nsome thing. Yet even if it did not, the\nloss of elasticity of the arterial walls\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthe vital rubber of body tissue\u00E2\u0080\u0094wqald\nalone bring about general inanition; '\n\"Purely on medical grounds, therefore, I am opposed to such forms of\nexercise for growing boys and girls' especially. In my opinion, strenuous\nsports or athletics, of every description,'\nwhich place an nbnormal demand upon\ntho circulation cannot be too emphatically condemned. They should have no\nplace at all in our grade schools, intermediate or high schools, public or private, and be permitted only under rigid\nphysical scrutiny even in the undergraduate classes of higher institutions\nof learning, nssoriutiotis, clubs, or whatever they be culled, where the participants are not practically full grown and\ndeveloped beyond the average.\nIn almost, nil of our universities and\ncolleges, medical oversight of all aspir-\nnuts to athb'tic honors is givon. This\nis probably true also of some of onr\npreparatory, private, nnd less frequently, public schools, nm is this truo of\neven a respectable minority? Moreover,\nthis luck uf scrutiny by competent medical authority is most apparent just\nwhere it is most essential\u00E2\u0080\u0094for tho\ngrowing nnd half-grown boys und girls.\n\"Of nil athletic sports, doubtless\nfootball malies tho greatest and most-\nconstant physical demand.' In minor\nschools it should be forbidden, not\nmerely because of accidents, but chiefly\nbecause it is a sport for no weakling,\neven though full grown. Poqtball is a\nman's gnmo in every sense,'and then\nonly for men above physical \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 par. That\nwhat I have stated in regard to football\nis true. I believe experience will substantiate. Tt is a notable fact thnt men\nof powerful physique naturally, who\nhave been in their day famous ntliletes,\nshow a remarkable lack of resistance in\nlater life, and frequently become vie\njims yf diseases which tbey should have\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2bien -expected' safely to weather.

For a\nnumber :ofiyears foreigners have been\npuling raids on ths British studs with\nttor'rtkui thkt th>y havo captured the\ncreujs o,f the' stnllions and broodmares.\nThis process of denudation has had its\nMjiult. and meantime the Government\nlootfeij .on and did little or nothing to\noncitarhge the light horse breeds. Kach\ny\u00C2\u00BB\u00C2\u00BBar there Used to be a grant of $25,000\nWhich .talis distributed here and thoro\niti King's premiums at the different\nsIkAth, mnl this, did well enough until\nthe btiyers and breoders from the Euro-\npi'ntreonntries began to acquire the best\nof the,stock.\nThis new grant of $200,000 will bo distributed during the year in the way of\nKing's premiums to thoroughbrod stallions of a second rate calibre. The work\nof awarding the prizes will begin at'\nthe annual show of the Hunters Improvement Society at Islington in March\nnnd will continue, all through the season. Owners will have to apply for\nthe premiums and in all coses tbe soundness of the stnllion will have to be\ntaken into consideration, and will have\nto be vouched for by a veterinary surgeon. Another part of thc scheme ii\nthat owners who do not care to apply\nfor premiums ean have their horBos\nregistered, nnd this will be a guarantee\nc/f soundness.\nOne of'the best known men.in connection witb the improvement of the\nbreeds of horses of all kinds is Lord\nCoventry. He hns been master of tbe\nroyal hnclchouurts'for a number of years,\nis a member of the .Tocltey Club, and\nhas hnd tho distinction ,of winning the\nLiverpool Orand National in two.successive veers. Along with these qualifications Ue has been nn'oininently prac-\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0tfenl agriculturist, and on the question\nof horse breeding he makes some suggestions as follows:\n\"If you want to be successful in\nbreeding you must breed from young\nanimals. My own idea is that 'if we\nwant to increase the number of useful\nlmrscs in-the country we ohght to proceed on the lines whieh the Soyal\n.Commission has followed for so many\nyears, and provide a larger number of\nthoroughbred stallions thnn has hitherto been possible,- considering the limited sum Which has been placed at their\ndisposal. But they set out on the right\nlines in supplying thoroughbred stnllions, Bound in every way, for the uso\nof the farmers at a low fee. I would\nincrease th\u00C2\u00A3 grant very largely and provide more thoroughbred stallions, which\nshould receive a certificate of soundness\nbefore they are passed, and I would allow those stallionB to cover farmers'\nmares free.,\n\"I think if we provided free sen-ice\nhe mares would always be forthcoming.\nT do not mean mares which would produce a high class hunter, but tbose\nwhfch would breed useful animals,\nsuitable foT army purposes, and in connection with this subject I have alwnys\nrecommended fnrmers to breed from\ntheir light, active cart marps if the\nservices of a thoroughbred horse could\nbe procured. Cart mares would work\non the farms until within a few days\nof foaling, \ and therefore would entail\nlittle or no' extra cost to the farmers.\n\"I have seen tho best results from\nbreeding in this way, fur many excellent hunters have been got by thoroughbred horses out of cart mares, and\nI have known these sold for large\nsums of money, and, curiously, ia many\ncrises they have shown a great amount\nof quality which one would not have\nexpected; but the difficulty of breeding in this, way is that it is only the\nfirst cross whicli succeeds. If yon think\nto Improve upon the breed by having\na foal from a filly bred as.I describe\nvery likely you will be disappointed.\nThe first cross is the best, I am\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2very much opposed to,the introduction\nqf what they .call half-bred hunting\nSires, because I think it is sure to do\nmuch moro harm, than good to thc\nbreed, for tic renson that in breeding,\nwhether it has to do with the breeding of cnttle, horses, ot sheep, it is\nnecessary to huve .ar puro strain of\nblood on ono- side... I deprecate very\nmuch the introduction of hackney blood,\nwhich has dono an immense denl of\nharm to the breeding of useful horses\nin this country, not only in England, but\nin Wales also.\n\"Rut even when fnrmerR havo got a\nservice from a t horoitghbrcd st allion\nfree 1 could not advise thom to breed\nuseful horses in preference to shire\nhorses, because from the latter thoy\nget an early return fnr tlieir money, and\nlhat is the great object to achiove.\nTbey can sell their foals at six months\nold. Some farmers that I know have\nsold their fr.als, or 'suckers,' as they\nan- sometimes called\u00E2\u0080\u0094those just taken\nfrom tho dam\u00E2\u0080\u0094at 80 or 40 guineas, and\nthat pays very well, imd it probably\nrepresents the price of a horse sold tii\ntho army at three yenrs of nge. And\nlet me sny that it is wonderful that\nthe breeding of Bhire horses should\nstill hold its own in these days of\nmotor cars. I wns very anxious when\nmotors-were so largely introduced, but\nnow I hnve no fear that we will always have horsos in the towns. There\nis rjo renson why the breeding of heavy\nhorses should go bnck nt all/'\nThe groater the irritation in the\nthroat the more distressing the cough\nbecomes.
