tlic satisfaction of seeing him dtop like a log— 
a feat upon which my hunter was quick to com¬ 
pliment me when he arrived upon the scene 
some time later. I then told him of my ad¬ 
venture, and we went back to the slope together. 
It was not till I saw it again and observed the 
track I had made in sliding downward—a track 
which seemed to end on the very edge of the 
abyss; indeed, my feet, before I pulled myselt 
up, were not two yards from the brink—that I 
realized how narrowly I had escaped*. We had 
a look down the precipice, and judged it to be 
almost 1.000 feet deep, and I can hardly repress 
a shudder now when I think how nearly I was 
being dashed to pieces on the rocks below. I 
alvvays regard it as a very curious thing that on 
this occasion absolutely no thought of my 
danger or the imminence of a dreadful death 
was in my mind as I slipped down that snow- 
slide. Even now I could hardly believe it, did 
not the fact of my hanging on to my rifle, in¬ 
stead of using both hands in my search for 
safety, point so forcibly to the absence of any 
desire save to get at those reindeer! I have 
had opportunity, however, of talking to other 
men who have been in tight corners, and they 
all seem to agree that the personal element is 
invariably the last to be thought of in the ex¬ 
citement of the moment, and often does not 
occur to one at all until the danger is past.—-

BRITISH COLUMBIAN FURS. 
Consul Abraham E. Smith, of Victoria, 
furnishes the following information concerning 
efforts now being made to have an export duty 
levied on British Columbian furs: 
The reason given by the local dealers to in¬ 
duce the provincial government to levy a pro¬ 
hibitive export duty on raw furs captured in 
British Columbia is that the American whole¬ 
sale dealers in Seattle, Tacoma, and Portland 
have practically secured all the raw furs trapped 
in this Province during the last two winters, and 
the local traders in Victoria, Vancouver, and 
other provincial cities are compelled to go to 
Seattle or Tacoma and attend auction sales 
there to replenish their stocks. It is reported 
that most of the buyers of furs at recent auc¬ 
tion sales in those cities were merchants from 
this Province, and it is claimed that, as a result, 
native furs are necessarily sold higher here than 
in American cities. 
Some years ago the fur business of the Prov¬ 
ince aggregated hundreds of thousands of dol¬ 
lars per year, most of which was handled in 
Victoria; now it has shrunken to almost noth¬ 
ing, and local dealers are compelled to pur¬ 
chase in Sound cities, as stated. 
American firms have their agents in northern 
portions of British Columbia, who purchase the 
furs direct from the trappers and Indians who 
capture them. The goods are thereupon sent 
direct to Seattle or Tacoma.

HOW MANY? 
A story is told of an exceedingly keen sports¬ 
man going duck shooting for the first time in a 
punt. It was snowing, there was a high wind, 
and the water was choppy. But the sportsman 
did not mind in the least, as long as be got 
some shooting eventually. At length a dozen 
or more waders were sighted on a mudbank at 
some distance. Crawling forward to the heavy 
swivel-gun, in the bows, Robinson got ready. 
The boat crept a little nearer, and the old water¬ 
man whispered to him to fire. Now, a punt-gun 
is not a toy, and the recoil is pretty consider¬ 
able even when one is used to it. Robinson had 
never used a 4-bore in his life, and, being in¬ 
tensely excited, he forgot all about the kick. 
There was a roar, and an instant later Robinson 
dived gracefully overboard. When he came to 
the surface, puffing and blowing like a grampus, 
the first thing he said was, “How many did I 
get?”

Bouillon Cubes 
Made by American Kitchen Products Co., New York 
T HE convenience of Steero Bouillon Cubes 
makes them especially valuable in camp or 
on a fishing trip. Cooking is always the draw¬ 
back in outdoor life and the convenience of 
Steero Bouillon Cubes helps wonderfully to 
make this task a pleasure. 
The hours between meals seem very long, 
but there is no need to wait. A cup of savory 
Steero Bouillon can be made the moment the 
kettle boils. Just drop a Steero Cube into a 
cup and pour on boiling water. 
“A Cube Makes a Cup” 
A supply of Steero Bouillon Cubes should 
form part of every camper’s pack and every 
fisherman’s lunch box. 
We want you to test the quality and con¬ 
venience of Steero Cubes, so urge you to 
Send for Free Samples 
and try them. If your druggist, grocer or sporting 
goods dealer can not supply you, send 35c for a box of 
12 cubes, postpaid; enough for 12 cups. Tins of 50 and 
100 cubes will prove more economical for regular use.

Where, When and How to Catch 
Fish on the East Coast of Florida 
By Wm. H. Gregg, of St. Louis, Mo., assisted by 
Capt. Gardner, of Ponce Park, Mosquito Inlet, 
Fla. With 100 engravings and 12 colored illustra¬ 
tions. Cloth. Illustrated. 238 pages. Map. Price, 
$4.00. 
A visitor to Fl°rida can hardly make the trip with¬ 
out this book, if he is at all interested in angling. It 
gives a very complete list of the fishes of the East 
Coast of Florida, and every species is illustrated by a 
cut taken from the best authorities. The cuts are thus 
of the most value to the angler who desires to identify 
the fish he takes, while the colored plates of the trop¬ 
ical fish shown in all their wonderful gorgeousness of 
coloring, are very beautiful. Besides the pictures of 
fish, there are cuts showing portions of the fishing 
tackle, which the uathor uses. A good index completes 
the volume.
