SPAR. COATING 
is used by those yacht builders who hav^ a reputa¬ 
tion they intend to keep. The most expensive var¬ 
nish is the varnish that does not last long and leaves 
the boat unprotected. The cheapest, because it is 
the best, is Edward Smith & Co’s. Spar Coating—it 
was used on the International yacht cup winners— 
on the “Queen ” the “Vim,” etc., etc. Its initial 
cost may be a little more than some, but in the long 
run it is by far the most economical.

In the Lodges of the Blackfeet 
which was published serially in Forest and 
Stream as by W. B. Anderson, has been issued 
over the author’s true name, J. W. Schultz, and 
'under the new title 
My Life As An Indian 
The story is one of the most faithful pictures 
of human life ever drawn. It tells of the life 
of the plains Indian in the old days, when buf¬ 
falo hunting and journeys to war were the oc¬ 
cupations of every man. It describes the every 
day life of the great camn. tells how the men and 
women passed their time, how the young men 
gambled, how they courted their sweethearts, 
how the traders imposed on the Indians, and 
how the different tribes fought together. The 
one central figure of the book is 
Nat-ah'-ki, 
the beautiful Indian girl who became the author’s 
wife. 
But it is needless to describe this book to 
readers of Forest and Stream. Those who read 
it as a serial will surely want the volume on 
their library shelves. Price, $1.65, postpaid.
