LOOKING BACKWARD,

o, the joy of backward glance,
When the heart is weary and sore
With the care and wear Of lonesome toll,
At the beautiful friendships Of yore.
o, the calm and the breath1ess bliss
As we listen with throbbing heart
To the cheering voices Of long ago
That formed Of lives part.
Was it, friends, just for the moment
We Glanced to meet, ne'er to meet more7
Are the dear rose bonds of love to fade?
Shall we meet againf Met we beforef

The absence of all cOnventionali-
ties and restrictions in Labrador is
also very refreshing. A peripatetic
minister was called on at a place
known as Spotted Islands to marry a
couple who were awaiting a chance
for the ceremony The bridegroom
was an elderly man, who was a kind
of king in the place. When the min
lister arrived at the island he found
all the islanders assembled in the lit
tie schoolroom awaiting him. 1t was
not till he actually entered the build
ing that he discovered the bride, was
the deceased wife's sister. This be-
ing forbidden relationship, he re-
fused to proceed, whereupon the in
tending bridegroom quietly remarked:
.Never mind, mister. One of these
others will do" So. turning to the
expectant crowd, he selected a suit

SEA PIGEONS IN MILLIONS.
Birds Shut Out Light Of Sun on Pa
cific Coast.

Travelling in immense hordes which
resemble huge black clouds sweeping
over the water, millions of sea pigeons
came in from the sea Ia st week, close
in the wake of mammoth schools OF
sardines, which they were intently
pursuing. Flying three or four deep
and a score or more abreast, millions
upon millions of the small birds were
seen floating over Bakers Bay and
the lower Columbia, forming solid
but ever changing mass, almost I'M
penetrable to the human gaze.
The speed at which they flew was
largely a matter Of conjecture, but
probably was not less than fifty miles
an hour. One flock of pigeons was
more than two hours passing over
| the bar.
Thousands Of the birds became en-
| tangled in the mesh of the fish trap
| leads at high tide. and the weight OF
their bodies is serious menace to the
gearing.
| At sea the pigeons can generally
be found where the sardines exist, but
they come to the river every summer.
Their usual custom is to follow
schools of whale, which also feed upon
the sardines. Waiting till the sardines
| are surrounded and the whales are
about to rush upon their victims, the
pigeons slip in and gorge themselves
upon the fish.-Ilwaco Journal.

Tricks of Grouse to Evade Hunters.

Tricks Of Grouse to Evade Hunters.
The grouse has a. hundred tricks OF
defence. % 1t will lie still until the hun
ter is within a yard of it, then soar
straight upward in his front, tower
ing like woodcock; again, it will rise
40 yards away, and the sound OF its
wings is his only notice of it's pres
ence. It. viii tower upon: branch
under which he passes, and his cap
will be not more than foot below
it as he goes, and though it has seen
him approaching it will remain quies-
cent in fear until his back is turned.
It will rush then, and when he has
slowed himself hurriedly around he
will catch only a glimpse of brown,
broad wing far away.
Wounded and falling in the open, it
will be found-if it is found at all
with the telltale speckles of dts breast
against the trunk of some bnDwn tree,
against which it's feathers are ~indis-
tinguishable, ard the black ruff about
the neck of the male will be laid
against the darkest spot of the bark.
Often it will double like fox; often
as man draws near it will spring noise
lessly into some spruce and hide until
he passes, dropping then to the ground
and continuing it's feeding; often, too,
it will decline to take wing, though
unhurt, and will run fast for half a
mile-so fast that the most expert
woodsman will be unable to keep pace
with it. This it will only do on leafy
ground and never when snow would
betray it's tracks.-Outing.

Gives Dog the slip.

There were q lot Of rats In the storage

did tremendous lot Of /, damage at
night time, lying quiet all day. AZ
length put in the room a square TIN
lined box, about two feet deep, and In
1t placed some burned cheese. The
Eats Immediately got interested In the
cheese, climbed up the outside OF the
box, and, having got inside, could not
ascend the slippery tin lining. In this
way wekilled great many. One morn
ing my children took cat, who was .
very good ratter, and placed 1t in the
box. where there was already a good
sized rat. The cat, instead of tackling
the rat, appeared to make friends with
It. They put their noses together ana
frisked round, but no harm was done
and eventually the cat jumped out, re-
fusing to tackle the rat. The children
then put In keen dachshund, who Inn
mediately snapped at the rat and missed
It. The rat ran around the box two
or three times, lodging cleverly, and
eventually, by climbing on the dogs
back, adroitly jumped out OF the box
and escaped.
