Where Game as PLENTY:

If Ninrod came to British Colum-
bia he would experience another hey
day. The sports Of the forest and
stream are triumphant there. Moose,
elk, caribou, mountain goats and
sheep, bears-grizzly, brown and
black-mountain lions, or cougars,
and deer of several kinds range in
sufficient numbers for sport almost
anywhere, and in ample quantities for
ruthless slaughter in many places, 20
that Nimrod, whether pot-hunter or
sportsman as the modern lines. are
drawn, would surely find satisfying
excitement and trophies WORTH OF his
fame and skill, says Field and Stream.
Small game, too, spreads throughout
the country, and the biggest bags are
easily filed in few hours shooting.
And old Izaak Walton, the father OF
angling, would find abundance Of the
"contemplative mans recreation as

q men are .roquired to wear long white
serge suits and # moccasins, and no
metal articles are allowed in the
pockets which might cause friction.
All the tools, tunnels, measure cups,
scales and other appliances used are
made Of copper. Here the delicate
and somewhat dangerous business OF
weighing out the various smokeless
powder charges is done. Even one or
two grams difference in weight is
carefully observed. At the Indian
Head proving grounds tho naval ordi-
nance experts by tests determine the

various guns. These firing charges
are constantly being changed and re-.
ivsed, which keeps the filling house
men very, active. Daily boxes OF
smokeless powder are emptied into q
long wooden trough. The powder
looks like cut up sticks of yellow can
dy with holes punched through them.
With q copper scoop the powder is
dipped out Of the trough, accurately
weighed and tied up in quarter, half
and full charges, in white bags. These
bags have several wide streamers at
tached, and each is tagged with the
date Of filling and amount of the pow
der it contains. A small ignition
charge Of quick burning black powder
is slowed in the bottom of each bag.
They are then placed in large copper
cans and are ready for transfer
aboard ships.
The heaviest charge used in the
navy weighs little over 220 pounds,
and is arranged in four quarter
charges Of IS pounds each. This is
for the 13-inch guns. The bags, when
piled one on top of another, reach to
the top of mans head and present
formidable sight of bottled up de-
struction.
Another important operation per.
formed in the filling house is loading
the 13 and 12-inch projectiles with
their bursting charge. For the for
mer so pounds of black powder is
used, and about IS pounds for the 12-
inch. To hold the shells steady and
to get at the base Of these huge steel
missiles, weighing over 1000 pounds
each, they are roped in sling and
hoisted clear of the floor by 9 pulley
and chain. The point is then lowered
a foot or so into a stanch wooden
frame with an opening trifle larger
than the shell. A long, narrow bag is
inserted, and with funnel .the black
powder is poured out of the covered
measure into the she'll Some so OF

Capt. Joseph Elzear Bernier, Expe.
rienced Navigator Of Northern
{ Waters Preparing for Peril

What fascination the elucive north
pole has for certain individuals Of ad-
venturous and scientific turn Of mind:
Never before has the world seen so
many expeditions under way and being
planned as there are to-day. Past
failure, attended as it has been by
death in so many cases. has seemed
only to whet the desire of others to
try for the coveted spot. In spite of
Andres Inflated attempt to reach the
pole by balloon, Wellman is making
his last preparations for flight toward
the unexplorei regions to the north
Peary is lost somewhere in the frozen
depths of the arctic circle and his
friends are anxiously awaiting some
word which will assure them that the
intrepid explorer is still alive.
But notwithstanding the tragic his
tory of arctic. explorations past and
present, there are still others ready to
try. The latest expedition organized
IS that under Capt. Joseph Elzear Ber-
nier, Canadian, who will take the
Canadian government steamer Arctic
around: the Horn and fit her for a voy-
age to the north pole via Behring
straits. 80
The captain was born in Quebec in
1852, was educated at the Christian
Brothers college in that city and has
led stirring, adventurous life on the
ocean ever since, having commanded
over 60 ships and steamers in all parts
of the world. He is an authority on
the navigation of the coasts of Green
land, Labrador, Hudson Bay and the
bleak and barren coasts of Newfound-
land. He has never lost a vessel in
his long career on the ocean, although
he became a shipmaster when only II
years of age.
Capt. Bernier comes from the famous
La Sale family, the early explorers
who penetrated into the heart of this
northern continent, and to-day is vice
president Of the Arctic club Of New

proposed plans of reaching the frigid

The Women Workers

hasty marriage has saved penny for
the. rainy day, and after. the wedding
both 60 on working as usual. By and
by a baby arrives, usually drifting into
the world to be cared for by moth
er who has not the faintest notion of
what maternity means, and who has
no nourfshment to give the little life.
When the mother: is able: she goes back
to the mill, leaving, the infant to be
cared for by relative, mother or
an aunt who has grown too old to
work. Children born of such marriages
are seldom rosy and strong. The NOR
tal11y among them is large, and they
survive at all only by the law of the
survival Of the. fittest. This is the
Bgloomlest side of the picture, rivaled
only cy that which is the burning
shame and disgrace of American life,
the 1neffaceable stigma brought upon
us by the commercial greed in the toll
Grafton OF child labor. Motherhood
and factory life should be divorced
-
or by the piece their earnings are very
seldom on so large scale as the earn,
1ngs of men. Why this should be is
accounted for by those who believe in
the Ealiot for women ON the theory
that women cannot vote, and that al
though they preponderate in the la
Dor market, they have no direct intlu-
ence in politics.
Another explanation is that they are
somewhat less thorough and respon-
sible than men in Carrying out what
they undertake. This is a slur on the
working woman which is undeserved
and mean. It must be admitted, re-
gret e. say, that women have less re-
gard for the validity of contract
than. men, and that they are much
more likely to drop their work and
change situation on impulse than
men are. Marriage, too, often takes
them, as it should, out of the ranks
shelter of home life.
i This is evident in the higher depart
ments, rather than in the lower. Sales
women and teachers are less likely to
desire continuance in their places as
wage learners than ARE the girls who
paste bels, make boxes, stitch gloves
and stand at looms. AS we rise So
cially in the scale, have greater intelli-
gence and more liberal education, mar
riage is on a higher plane and is
founded on a basis of nobler quail
ties.
Women are in the labor market to
stay. They cannot be eliminated.
They belong to. the vanguard of mod
ern civilization than which nothing is
SO complex and nothing more interest
ing. They bring to their task the
subtle sympathy, the quick perception
and the enthusiasm that belong to
their sex. They earn every dollar of
their<wages or their salaries
In the finer grades of commerce,
women do good service as buyers for
importing houses and the departments
| of dressmaklng, millinery, embroidery,
homo decoration and kindred lines are
| very largely in their hands. Mother
Eve is the first seamstress on record;
| her daughters ever since have been
busy in carrying out what she began,
the making of clothing for the race.
