‘past and four times he got two at a cast. He 
1 Was soon exhausted with the excitement, and 
for the first time I felt the fever come over me 
i|and grumbled at the loss of my rod. Checking 
Bill’s strikes that he did not hook on the gun- 
; wale of the canoe and thereby making him 
jpeevish, was some satisfaction for not being- 
able to enjoy the sport myself. 
On Friday morning we packed up and started 
home in a deluge of rain. The rocks were slip¬ 
pery and the portages very soggy. Drops of 
water chased themselves around the rim of my 
J hat and not a stitch of clothing was dry. There 
was water above, below and all around. Only 
great quantities of hot coffee at lunch routed 
the chill from my bones and put me in shape 
for the afternoon pull, while Bill took his place 
as the shivering passenger. At night we broke 
. into the cabin that we had seen going up Non- 
i wakaming and made ourselves at home. An 
j Indian trapper, who was summering at Bear 
Island, occupied it in winter. Canoes, bear 
traps, snowshoes and bedding lay around in con¬ 
fusion and in a little room at one end, which 
i appeared to belong to Mrs. Indian, were rifles, 
a Bible in Ojibway and pictures on the wall, 
among them an advertising page from a popu¬ 
lar magazine published in the States. More to 
the purpose was an old iron stove, which 
Peeshabo set up and got going, while Bill and 
I stripped and had a swim. According to 
| etiquette everything was left next morning just 
i as it was found, and we went our way grateful 
' to the unknown Indian for a welcome shelter 
on a stormy night. 
Temagami was very rough. The green waves 
came in on my knees so often that I was sure 
the canoe would be swamped, but we kept on 
digging hard and quick. “No you don’t,“I would 
j say as a sea slapped the bow spitefully. “Not 
i this time,” as another rolled against us. So 
it went all day, but we pulled through and made 
I camp a short distance above the post. 
Bear Island in its best Sunday clothes seemed 
' the heart of effete civilization. Pie was served 
i for dinner at a boarding house kept by an In- 
j dian woman. Around the table were four or 
five other “American sports,” as the people of 
Temagami called them, among whom was a 
certain pouter-pigeon dressed in the latest 
I khaki trousers and pleated jacket, a member of 
the stock exchange and all that, don’t you know. 
Another man told me how someone had taken 
j a canoe down at Net Lake that had been loaned 
to him. I pointed out the canoe on the shore 
and we had a laugh. Somewhat similar was the 
remark of a fat English lady to the effect that 
i she had heard of a young fellow with a “beau- 
{ tiful silk tent and an aluminum cooking kit.” 
I introduced myself, showed the very articles 
and had another laugh. She called to me as we 
pulled away from the float: 
“Please go to New York as you are. Don’t 
j change your clothes. I am sorry there was no 
I time for me to mend them. You will make a 
hit if you wear them as they are.” 
Already I felt the confinements of civiliza¬ 
tion. The big," black husky chained to a rock 
j gave us a parting yelp as we rounded a point 
j and limbered up for the home stretch.

IN MOURBHANJ. 
The little native State of Mourbhanj, known 
as the “Peacock Kingdom,” is the most northerly 
of the tributary States, of Orissa, and native 
chronicles relate that the principality was 
founded more than 2,000 years ago. The chief’s 
emblem of signature is a peacock, which is held 
sacred, and hence the killing of this heraldic 
bird is strictly forbidden throughout the State. 
The State has an area of 4,243 square miles and 
the country is varied in soil and scenery. It 
• abounds in rich valleys, but a vast extent is 
clothed in primeval forest. The Maharajah of 
Mourbhanj is an enlightened prince, and ad¬ 
ministers his State on modern British lines.—

Every one who owns a dog should possess this invalu¬ 
able book, which has been long in preparation, and has 
been pronounced by a competent authority for ahead of 
any other work yet attempted upon the subject. The 
minuteness with which every detail is considered leaves 
little or nothing for any future work to attempt. Es¬ 
pecially important chapters are those on eczema, the 
different kinds of mange, poisons, distemper, hydro¬ 
phobia, ear and eye diseases, vaginal diseases, diseases 
of the urinary and sexual organs, and pneumonia (an 
especially valuable contribution), also the portions of 
the work which are devoted to symptoms and diagnosis. 
The work is entirely devoid of technical terms, and is 
written in such entertaining style, that any one with a 
love of dogs would find it not only valuable and help¬ 
ful, but interesting as well.

My Life As An Indian 
All That the Title Implies and More 
Probably the most faithful picture of Indian 
life ever drawn from the pen of a man who 
spent,years among the Blackfeet, marrying into 
the tribe and becoming to all practical intents 
an Indian. 
Mr. Schultz tells of the life of the plains In¬ 
dian, when war and hunting were the occupations 
of every man, when the buffalo still covered the 
prairie, and the Indian was as yet little touched 
by contact with civilization. Fie describes as one 
who has lived the life, the daily routine of the 
great camp, the lives of the men and women, 
the gambling, the quarreling, the love making, 
the wars, the trading of the Indians. 
The narrative is full of intense human in¬ 
terest, and the requisite touch of romance is 
supplied in the character of Nat-ah-ki, the beau¬ 
tiful Indian girl, who became the author’s wife.
