SPORT IN WESTERN CANADA.
While the Farmers Grain Is Ripenfng
and His Stock Growing Fat, He
May Have Plenty of Shooting.

There is probably no country on
the American Continent where the
life of the farmer carries with it
that assurance of comfort and sue
cess as does Western Canada. Nor
is there to be found anywhere else
such a pleasant combination. Game
abounds everywhere and nowhere
does it afford such perfect amuse-
ment. A noted sportsman writing of
the favorite pastime says: "There is
one particular spot where I saw a
man drop 70 mallards one morning,
and bring them all to bag, too, for
they dropped in open water or on
fiat prairie. At the right season of
the year you can see black lines and
triangles cut sharply out against the
sky all round you, moving very
swiftly, and you begin to wonder
whether you have enough cartridges
to hold out. You can hear the
prairie-chicken Growing like barn
door fowls; and little to the north
east is bit of marshy ground, cat
tie poached, and dappled with gleam-
ing pools, where the snipe are near
ly as thick as mosquitoes. A thin
column of blue smoke curling up in
the distance shows you where a few
wandering Indians have pitched their
camp, but there is no other indica-
ton of civilization in sight. Still,
the neighborhood is well-settled, and
short drive will bring you to a
farmhouse where you can buy the
finest butter and the freshest eggs
for uncivilized prices.
ga very short railway journey will
bring you to country full of deer
and the lordly wapiti, the king of
the deer tribe the world over; and
down on the fiat, Doggy land by the
lake shores the moose will stand
knee-deep in water on the summer
evenings, ready to lie down when the
flies get bothering. All day you
breathe the wild free air of the
prairie, and at night you are lulled
to sleep by the surge and ripple and
splash of the waves on the beach,
broken now and then by the weird
banshee-cry of strange waterfowl"
Particulars regarding settlement OF
the lands of Western Canada can be
had from any agent of the Canadian
Government, whose advertisement ap.

LET NE BEGIN ANEW.

Lord God, Thou lettest the green thing
start
A new life every year;
Out of their sunken selves they rise.
Erect and sweet and clear;
Behold the lily's pure white leaves
Unfolding by each mere.
Again the sap mounts in the FIR
Through every swelling vein;
Again the clover stirs and thrills,
Responsive to the rain;
Again the tender grass makes green
The lone breast of the plain.
Hear the new, the golden flood of song,
The lark pours forth to the blueI
Behold the strong, undaunted shoot
Pushing its brave front through
The fallen tree. Lord God, Lord God,
Let me begin anew!
Out of my own self let me rise,
For, God, if it can be
A new and noble growth may spring
From yon decaying tree
Surely strong, pure life may mount
Out of this life OF me.
Ella Higginson, in the Pacific.

The music box is still playing in
Manuels cantina. The disc of Home,
Sweet Home" which old man Cham
berlain nearly destroyed when he tore
it loose has been repaired as well as
Manuel could do it. On the table are
two bottles, one of mescal, the other
of the sand which the old man gath
cred on the "home" bank of the Rio
Grande. The monthly check still comes,
and the fiesta is held as of old. But now,
after each one, the Drunken Gringo"
croons new refrain. It is: "For I've
been home, I've been home, I've been
home once more"

A Crab Goliath.

In Central America there lives rob
Der crab, Of almost incredible size
and somewhat resembling a large spi,
der. The distance between it's ex.
tended claws is sometimes as great as
twelve feet. 1t spends the greater
part Of its life on land, and climbs the
cocoanut trees, on the fruit of which
it lives almost entirely. 1t digs in the
ground deep tunnels and lines them
with cocoanut fibre.
When engaged the robber crab can
break a mans limb with its powerful
claws. Animals approaching it too
closely often receive an ugly pinch,
which they do not soon forget, and it
is on record that one of these crabs
has captured and tried to drag off O
goat.
To open a cocoanut the robber crab
removes the bark from the end con-
tanning the three eyes, one only Of
which is easily penetrated, and having
