In the course of the great monopoly there came 
to be no less than 130 of these trading posts in 
Russian America, nearly all of which are ex¬ 
tant at the present days. * * * Again, there 
was an established thoroughfare, and now is, 
all along the continental coast line, west from 
the mouth of the Mackenzie to the mouth of the 
Colville, where an Eskimo coast brigade meets 
a brigade which comes up from Kotzebue 
Sound via the Noatak River and across a 
: portage to the Colville River, which it descends, 
i there exchanging tobacco and iron implements 
: for seaj products. When the barter is over, 
the Point Barrow Eskimos journey eastward to 
! Barter Reef, where they obtain, from eastern 
Eskimos, lamps, knives, beads, guns, and am¬ 
munition (brought from the Mackenzie River), 
which they exchange the following year for 
I Kotzebue goods at the Colville rendezvous, 
y There is also a shore route from Icy Cape on 
t the Arctic coast, over which furs and walrus 
teeth are sent from hand to hand as far as 
Gwosdew Island, in Bering Strait, where they 
are bartered for tobacco, knives, and iron kettles 
I of the Tchuktchi, who obtain them from Sledge 
Island on East Cape, to which they have pre- 
viously been shipped from Ostrownoje. Thus 
did the early articles of Russian manufacture 
, gradually find their way along the American 
coast as far east as Repulse Bay, there com¬ 
peting among the tribes of the Mackenzie 
district with articles from Sheffield or Birming¬ 
ham, in England. By this hyperborean transit 
1 and ime of connection, it may be possible to 
establish an old-time relationship with the 
Eskimos of the entire circumpolar region. 
Matiuschin, who was Baron Wrangell’s com¬ 
panion. says that ‘the Tchuktchi belong to the 
"widespread Eskimo family and live in the same 
way. They are of Chinese origin, hardened by 
acclimation.’ ”

L CLOUDS AND THE WEATHER. 
Soft-looking or delicate clouds foretell fine 
j weather, with moderate or light breezes; hard- 
* edged, oily-looking clouds, wind. A dark, 
gloomy blue sky is windy, but a bright blue 
sky indicates fine weather. Small, inky-looking 
clouds foretell rain. Light scud clouds, driving 
across heavy masses, show wind and rain; but 
| if alone may indicate wind only. High upper 
clouds crossing the sun, moon, or stars in a di¬ 
rection different from that of the lower clouds 
! or the wind then felt below forettu a change of 
wind toward that direction. After fine, clear 
j weather the first signs in the sky of a coming 
change are usually light streaks, curls, wisps, 
or mottled patches of white, distant clouds, 
which increase, and are followed by a murky 
vapor that grows into cloudines_s. This ap¬ 
pearance, more or less oily or watery, is an m- 
1 fallible sign that wind or rain will prevail. Usu- 
! ally, the higher and more distant such clouds 
Aeem to be, the more gradual but general the 
:ommg change of weather will prove.—British

A SEASONABLE BOOK 
Modern Fish Culture in Fresh 
and Salt Water 
BY FRED MATHER. 
Fishing is in the air. It is becoming more and more 
necessary for the individual angler to consider the future 
supply of game fish. Stream and lake stocking is the 
order of the day. It can be done on a small scale as 
well as im a large one. Fishculture, too, can be made a 
profitable side line. 
Mr. Mather’s book is designed to enable the individual 
to do what public authorities and clubs are doing at 
large expense. It is thoroughly practical, easily under¬ 
stood, and treats of every phase of fishculture. It is 
just the thing for the man who owns a small pond or 
stream section and wants to provide fish for sport or the 
table at moderate cost. Heavy paper. Cloth. Illustrated. 
Price. $2.00.

Kennel Diseases 
By “Ashmont” (J. Frank Perry, M.D.), author of “Ken¬ 
nel Secrets.” Illustrated. 8vo. Cloth, $3.00 net. 
Postage, 22 cents. 
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.
