A QUEER BOY.

He doesn't study. it .weakens his eyes.
But the right sort Of book will insure a
sur rise.
Let be about Indians. pirates or bears.
And he's lost for the day to all mundane
affairs
BY sunlight or gasltght his vision is Gear.
Now, isn't that queer?
AT thought of an errand he's tired as a
hound"
Very wear of life and of "tramping
around.
But if there's a band or circus in sight
He will follow it gladly from morning till
night.
The Snowman will capture him some day,
] fear,
For he is so queer.
If there's work in the garden his head
"aches to split
But mention baseball, and he's cured very
soon,
And he'll dig for woodchuck the whole
afternoon;
Do you think he plays possum?" he
seems quite sincere.

cry broke forth from the gazing crowd
as they watched its fight.
Twice all seemed lost, as poor Chris
topher was almost beaten down into
the raging waters beneath but the
brave bird persevered, and catching
momentarv lull in the fury of the
storm, struggled across the deadly
space and fell exhausted upon the bank.
A stout farmer sprang forward to
seize the cord tied to the birds leg, and
instantly half dozen eager hands
were at work hauling in the rope at

thus established with the island, the
rest was easy, and in less than half an
hour three CrusOes in the ferryman's
hut were drawn safely ashore, just as
the whole house fell crashing into the
swollen river, which whirled away the
strong timbers like straws.
After this the bold raven became a
greater favorite than ever and from
that day everyone called him Christie

Courage is often spoken of as man

since it is given even TO young girls to
exercise it. as we'll as to brave, unselfish
men? This was illustrated some years
ago by Alice Ayres, a young servant
living as nursemaid in an oilmans fam

bring her public admiration, but one

they could leave her in charge of the

The flying fox is very curious ine

focks and moves generally towards

produced by the heavy Tapping of the
so-caIled wings is very singular The

large araucaTian pine trees. with an
underwood Of scrub and creepers. The
foxes hang in vast numbers from the
horizontal. branches of the pine trees.
When there is a clear place among the
trees, an enormous number Of the ami
mails may be seen, and their noise can
be heard, for directly they see anything
unusual they utter a short bark, some
thing like the sound made by young
rocks. Often every branch is crowded.
and the young foxes are seen either
tapping their wings and holding on
with their hind feet and with their
heads downward or snarling and fight
ing for places. Suddenly tine whole

wing-like sides and wheel around like
heavy birds. Many fly with their young
holding on to them. The creature is
not a true fox. and there is a. fold OF
skin which reaches from the fore to

VALUE or THE FISHING INDUSTRY.


The purchase by Eastern capitalists
of fish traps on Puget sound seems to
have stimulated the industry Of fish
ing to remarkable degree. We have
not fully realized the value OF our re-
sources Tn this respect. In a vague aud
grandiioauent way We had boasted of
the wealth of our waters. but we have
fci, that We were only In the infancy
OF Its utilization.
The output was very disappointing
last year. and was not altogether salts
factory in 1897. For some reason there
seem to be periods of drouth and plenty
with fish as there Is with wheat. The
average experience affords promise that
this year there viii be fine run. but
even last year the total value of the out

5000 and 1000 men were employed on
Puget sound in the fisheries and the
eanneries. 50 that. young as the indus
try is. IL affords a very important con-
trsbutien to our prosperity. The enor-
nous Fraser river salmon run during
the season Of 1897 stimulated the cree
doubling the capacity. but the follow
ing year many were disappointed and
the majority Of the investors fell very
short OF their expectations. Those
plants are now ready. and viii no doubt
make up this year for last years loss.
