How the Pacific -Coast Indians Capture the Spring Run of Salmon. The ingenuity of savage races, who with the rudest tools fashion from the material clearest the hand appliances that for practical service the moat Skillful of ch-Illzed mechanics can hardly equal, is the constant wonder of observant travellers, The Eskimo dog sled, for example, made of walrue ivory lashed together with thongs of deerskin, will outlast a dozen of the most finished sledges of steel and wood that Canadian artieans can manufacture. And consider also the curious and admirable fishing appar- atus devised by the ignoraut Queniult Indians, These Indians, Iihe the other Pacific Coast tribes, are racially much nearer the Eolchnos and Aleuts than tho red men of the plains. They live on a re• servation stretching along tho banks of the Queniutt River halfway between the mouth of the Columbia and the Strait of Juan do Fuca, and they sub- sist almost entirely on the fish that swim in their river every spring and fall. An Ingenious Method. The spring run of salmon Is iugenl- ously netted in this manner: Lattice- work fences of Interlaced twigs are first built across the stream, passages being Ieft next either bank that the fish may not be prevented front going up to their spawning grounds, On the lower side of these fences. near the openings, light platforms are built, s from wlttrh the fishing i conducted. lcucted. A net stretched from a circular wooden frame is used. To one side of this frame an upright pole is firstly attached, the end of which is brought over and tied to the end of the upright pole. A loose uetwork of twine cross- es from side to side of the circular frame above the net, and from the twine 0 signal curd is carried to the fishing platform. The net is then forced down into the water until it rests on the bottom; to comlteract the buoyancy of the ap- paratus, a stud is fastened across (lel upright pole and canght under the edge of the platform. - - Upon the ilatform the fisherman— = ftslterwomau—rqu, 1 patiently, sig- nal cord to hand. When the fish, which swim in populous schools, reach tate fence, they swim along It toward the openings. In passing over the net, some of them brush against the net- work of twine, and the signal cord twitches, The fisherman gives the up- right pole a push, the stud is released and the net springs smartly to the sur- face, bringing with it from one to twenty-five fish, as the case may be. By this means immense quantities of fish are caught with a minimum ex- penditure of labor—the double Ideal at which the Indian aims. In the fall other means are used, and iho salmon hook and spear are no leas remarkable for their ingenuity and efficiency. The hook, a large iron weapon, is rather loosely fixed into -a socket at the end of a pole some four- teen feet long and an inch and a half thick. A cord is securely fastened boot to the hook and to the pole below -the socket; while at the other end of the pole a deerskin thong attaches it to the fisherman's wrist. The dusky sportsman is then pad- dled about the river in a canoe, the hook being allowed to hang vertically in the water. When it strikes against a fish, the pole is sharply jerked up- ward, and two to one the salmon Is hooked. The fish is so large --it generally weighs over twenty-five pounds—that with a straight pull on the pole he might come off victor and either tear himself free or drag the fisherman head over heels out of his canoe. But as the struggle begins, the hook slips out of tho socket, and the strain coulee on the pliant lord that attaches it to the polo. There is play enough here to serve, and the drag of the pole also helps to tire the fish, which is soon landed in the canoe. Using the Salmon Spear. Tho salmon spear is used from the bow of the canoe when the fish are so thick that ono can be speared by a random thrust. Tho pole is somewhat shorter and thicker than that used in hooking and tapers gracefully toward either e11d, At the point prongs are provided by lashing two outward' curv- ing plecos of wood a foot and a half long to the end of the pole, The barbs aro made by nails lashed be- tween two pieces of elk horn, aid are fitted into a socket on the prongs and ales attached to the pole by thongs two feet lotig tied to the middle oe the barbs. Another longer thong, With a loop for tate Wrist, Is fastened to the handle end of the spear, When a fish's struck, the bathe be. come detached, tie in the case of the hook. Being fastened to the thongs at the centre, they turn 10 the flesh like a, toggle and grip the ilsh with 'a hold he cannot break away from. Salmon Oe sixty pounds' weight haus been cap- tured with this Ingenious tmplontent, Santetimes it is need to the shallow Water at the nteuth of tete river, the Indians splashing about on the nand bare and enjoying themselvee thoroughly to pureeing the startled flan through the narrow ohannels that lead oclt to the open sea, PALE, WAN CHEEKS A SIGN OF ANAEMIA To Rave Good Color and Health the Blood Must be Kept Red and Pure, Many women who had good color and bright eyes la their girlhood grow pale and colorless and lose much of their charm when they become wives and mothers. Why is It? When the fading color in the cheeks and lips le accompanied by a loss of brightnese in the eyes and an increasing heavi- ness in the step and a tendency to tire easily, the cause is to be sought in the state of the blood, Many causes may contribute to the coudltlon of the blood known as anae- mia, Care Of the home, overwork, lack of outdoor exercise, insufficient rest and sleep, llltproper diet, are a few of them. The important thing is to restore the blood, to build It up so that the color will return to the cheeks and lips, brightness to the eyes, and lightness to the step. To do this, nothing can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They begin at once to increase the red corpusles in the blood, and this new blood carries strength and health to every part of the body. The appetite improves, digestion becomes perfect, and energy and ambition re- turn. Proof is given in the statement of Mrs, Alex. Archambo, Cornwall, Ont., who says:—"Two years ago my health began to fail. I was suffering from headaches, pains in the back and sides, and a constant tired out feeling. I had used a lot of medicine, but instead of it helping inc I seemed to be growing weaker. My friends urged ate to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and while I felt disheartened at my experieuoe with other medicines, I decided to do so. To my great joy I soon found the pills were helping rue, and their continued use for a time frilly restored my health, I feel that I would be ungrateful if I dict not give my experience with Dr. Williams'Pink Pills, in the hope that it may point the way to health to some other poor suf- ferer." Dr. !Williams' Piulc Pills can be ob- tained through any medicine dealer, or may be had by mall, post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Broc•ks'ille, Ont, A New Cure for Toothache. In medicine things sometimes hap- pen that professional 1ue11 have diffi- culty in explaining, accordiug to Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, who in his auto- biography tells the fallowing story: A big fisherman• came aboard my steamer one day and said that he had toothache. Ilis jaw was swollen, his mouth was hard to open, and the of- fending molar was visible within; but when I produced the forceps he pro- tested loudly. -that he would not have it touched for worlds. "Why, then, did you come to nee?" I Asked. "You are wasting my time." "I wanted you to charm her, doctor," 11e answered. "But, my dear friend, I do not know how to charm, and I don't think it would do the slightest good. Doctors are not allowed to do such things." He was evidently much put out, and had turned to go when I said, "If you really think it would d0 any good, come along. You'll have to pay twen- ty-five cents exactly as if you had it pulled out." "Gladly, doctor. Please go ahead." He sat on the rail while 1 put one finger into his mouth, torched the Molar and repeated the most mystic nonsense I could think of, "Abracad- abra Tiddlywinktun Umslopoga," and Men jerked the finger out lest the patient close his ponderous jaws. The fisherman took a turn round the deck, pulled out the quarter and solemuly !landed it to me, saying, "All the pain Is gone. Many thanks, doctor." I found myself standing alone in amazement, twiddling a miserable shilling, and wondering how I came to Make such a fool of myself.

MARCH WEATHER DANGEROUS TO BABY Our Canadian Match weather—one day bright, but sloppy, the next blus- tery and cold—is extremely hard on children. Conditions make it neces- sary for the mothers to keep the little ones indoors. They are often confined to overheated, badly ventilated rooms and catch colds which rack their whole system. To guard against these colds and to keep the baby well till the better, brighter days come along, a box of Baby's Own Tablets should be kept in the house and an occasion- al dosegiveelhe baby to keep his stomach and bowels working regular- ly. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative lve which never fail to regulate the stomach and bowels and thus they relieve colds and simple fevers and keep the baby fit. The Tab- lets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Real Treasure Islands. The Islands of Spitzbergen—rich in coal, marble, and ores—are styled a "No Man's Lancs," The wealth of the islands has been surveyed by the Bri- tish, but their claims have never been vigorously pushed, The islands, which are 24,000 square miles in exteut, lying wall within the Arctio Circle, yet only 400 miles from Norway and less than 1,300 miles from Britain, were discovered three centuries ago by Dutch navigators. Holland, Britain, Denmark, and Nor- way successively laid claims to them in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen- turies, but these rights have now ex- pired. The Supreme Council has re- eemtly awarded Spitzbergen to Nor- way. There are 8,600,000,000,000 tons of coal in sight there. It is on the surface and needs little mining. It can be placed on board ship at a cost of about $2.00 to $2.50 a ton. Minard's Liniment Co., Limited. Have weed CUINARD'S LINSMS]NT for Croup; found nothing equal to it. CHAS, E. SHARP.

The Value of Milk. There can be tto doubt that there is great lash of knowledge by the people generally- as to the importance of milk and other dairy products In tlt0 diet, There Is no substitute for milk, and its use should be distinctly in- creased instead oe diminished, regard- less of cost. • The value of milk cannot be estimated on the basis of its contents of protein and energy. Even when measured by this standard it oonlpares 011181 favorably with other foods, but it has a value as a protec- tive toad, in improving the quality of the filet, whish can be estimated only in terms of health and efficiency. Milk is just as necessary In the diet of the adult as In that of the growing child. Mille is our greatest protective food.
