many specimens of butterflies not known before
to exist in Labrador.
Fishing shooting and photographing then may
be INDUCED in to suit the tourist, and he IS
certain to obtain good results. The seascape
is as lavish in attractions the landscape. 1t IS
not uncommon to see a hundred and fifty icebergs

did outlines and the ceaseess stream of fishing
sells offers many opportunities for splendid pictures
Cruising in this manner, the vacationlst could
reve in the gories of nature, and grow strong In
the bracng of the region, and if he seeks the
conquest of the wilderness he may make voyage
of discovery inland If, however, the health or
recreation seeker is unable to avail himself of the
foregoing means of visiting Labrador, he should
take the mail-boat, which, although requiring a
hurried trip, still will enable him to fully enjoy
himself. He has in this the advantage of
cares as to ship weather, but may continue in
the undisturbed assimilation of the varied charms
of this far-off region, He may revel in the dane
ing ghostlights of the Aurora Boreas SO frequently
there, the long professions of beautiful ice
be.gs He may watch the rise in a blaze of
glory accentuated by the northern atmos-
phere watch it behind the hills which it tints
with marvellous colors. And he may see the fishers
at work and the hustle of industry in the harbors

stretches of frowning coastine, rarely, If at all,

muzzle-loading muskets, the fact is indisputable
that they work havoc among the animals and
accumulate thousands of skins every winter for
shipment by the Hudson Bay vessels
Fully ten thousand caribou skins exported
from the region annually, and it is estimated that
as many are used among the inhabitants, SO
the sporting possibilities of Labrador may be under
stood easily. Two years ago polar bear was
killed near Cape Harrigan by a passenger the

two and a half inches and the weight eight
hundred and seventy-nine pounds. The brown
is highly priced.
Shots at times may be obtained at the bay seal,
which frequents the inlets, and this is pastime
which calls for good eye and quick trigger.
Nor does hunting exhaust the list of Labrador's
preserves. Angling for trout salmon will give at

Odd Things About Gold

[ it is seldom except when heavily alloyed,
which makes it much redder than when it is pure.
The purest coins ever made the fifty dollar
pieces which once were in common in California.
Their coinage was abandoned for two reasons
first, because the loss by abrasion great, and
second, because their interior could be bored out
and filled with lead. The difference in weight
small that it could not be noticed in such large
pieces. They were octagonal in shape and the
most valuable coins ever minted and circulated
All gold is not alike when refined Australian
gold is distinctly redder than that taken in Cali
fornia. Moreover, placer gold is more yellow than
that Which is taken from quartz. This is of the
mysteries of metaurgy, because the gold in placers
comes from that which is in quartz. Gold taken
from different placers will vary in color The gold
in the Ural Mountains is the reddest in the world

LOVERS IN THE PARK
By E. d. Pierson

Methinks they risk broken dream,
Who here pursue their wooing-
When woods are white and still the stream
Should ring doves be a-cooing?
How keep the fires of love alive,
When sullen skies are showing?
Ardent must be the flames to thrive,
When Boreas is blowing
Cupid must surely perish here
Where all the world is wheeling
Do declarations sound sincere,
When emphasized by sneezing?
A Romeo is quite absurd
In dripping mackintoshes;
And like damp ungainly bird,
The Juliet in galoshes.
The voice of passion should be low,
And like lutte that sweet is,
But loses potency, trow,
When hoarse with tonsilitisl
Give me the balmy air of June,
When all the flowers are swinging
Their censers to the silv'ry tune
The woodland brooks are singing.
When winds are soft as a caress,
And the moon above is grinning
Approvingly, ah, then l guess
Lovers shall have their inning!

The flora of the coast is of character to attract
any naturalist. The country is of arctic and
subarctic plants, in rich profuson of varieties.
Some American visitors, few years ago, secured
several thousand specimens Small shrubs plants,
flowers MOSES, heaths and lichens abound within
a few miles OF the SeabOard. The flowers have
most delicate colors, the shrubs have novel
variations, the MOSES present many dainty
hueS, and the verdant covering in places
makes carpet fully foot thick. No trees
grow near the coast but farther inland there is
a wooded growth as ample as in Newfoundland.
This, of course, applies only to the southern
half of the peninsula, for the northern half is
treeless barren. Hamilton Inlet, deep, watery
ravine which eats into the coast about midway up,
forms the dividing lire in the flora of Labrador.
South of that along the coast elevations stunted
brushes back of these the conferous forest begins;
and proceeds inland the trees grow larger
and more dense. Practically none except ever
greens-spruces, basams and larches-are found
in Labrador. At Hebron, in the extreme north of
the peninsula, where the Moravan missionaries have
establishments among the Eskinos of that region,
there is tree. 1t planted thirty years ago,
and now is only twenty-six inches high.
The fauna is abundant and varied the
flora. Of sea-fowl gulls terms hawks puffins
and guilemots of land birds there many of the
familiar summer migrants from the south, and the
species indigenous to the region. Wild tOWl-geeSe
and ducks, grouse and ptarmigan-aford rare sport,
the latter being their best in the early fall and
making unequaled delicacy for the table, as
well providing a peasurable hunt. No dog
is needed in hunting these birds-they may
be put up IN large cOveys from every rocky ridge,
and fowler soon will find himself with full bag
OF big game the record is equally assuring. The
white, polar, bear is to be found far south
Beeisle in winter following the seals the foe
and moving north again in the spring. The grizzly
of the region, large, ferocious bear, is known
only to the Indians in the back-lands north, but
the black bear is abundant in the timbered region.
The carcajou, or Canadian lynx, also is numerous
there; the porcupine infests the underbrush, and
beaver marten, rabbit and hare besides the famous
silver fox and his brown congener among the
furry treasures of the region The caribou the
only deer known to the eastern slope, though the
Indians claim that moose to be found in the

wds beyond. But caribou numerous that
the slaughter of them is indiscrininate In 1896
at Davis Inlet the settlers killed over five thousand
during winter. The "liv-veres" and the Es-
kimos lie in wait along the webeaten paths which
the deer traverse, and shoot them down they
pass. Some Eskimos say that they have killed one
hundred and hundred and fifty in a day to
the man, and while this probably is exaggera-
ton, seeing that their only weapons cheap,

filled with trout, and every river with salmon. The
former may be obtained in unlimited abundance,
weighing two to four pounds the latter reach thirty
pounds frequently
The climate in summer is fine and bracng

grees Fahrenheit, and at night from forty-tive to
