Fishing awl Fruit Growing Comtinln-

Storms During Its Life Time
Which Gout liacic Almost a Cen-
tury -It 1s: Named' After Admiral
Horatio Nelson.
On the no �he t shore of Lake
rtwserl y
Ontario, between the bustling cities
of Toronto and Hamilton; but Well
away from either, stands the little
old village of Bronte. Itboaste itself.
to be .the best harbor on, that part of
the coast, for nature has partially
protected it from the fury of the
spring tempests, by a long point jut-
ting a
into the lake mile or so to
the eastward and by a nearer sand-
bar, and man has done his best to
improve the haven by defending it
with two long lines of wharf, or
breakwater, by frequent dredging of
itsriver's mouth, and by erecting on
the eastern pier a sturdy little light-
house to make unmistakable the way
for incoming craft.
Its irregular lines of buildings are
chiefly of the "frame" variety; and
the most imposing erection on its
short, one-sided main street is not a
grey old church,. but a grist -mill.
This, however, is of quite respectable
antiquity for our new country, for
hig'i on its tall chimney is the date,
1858. As to its early history -it was
not till 1820 that -the site of the vil-
lage was opened to the settlement of
wbite men, and that the Mississauga
Indians relinquished their exclusive
right of fishing in the Twelve Niile
Creek.
Within an old man's memory,
Bronte has suffered mercilessly from
the moods of the lake. .In a plan of
the town bearing date 1834 there is
traced a thoroughfare called by the
ominous name of Ontario street, for
the lake has claimed its own, and
Ontario street 'is .now engulfed in its
restless waters. Once, it is told, the
main road between Toronto and Ham-
ilton lay as far out from the present
shore as is the harbor light, and
when at evening (as often chances)
one hears a rattling on the shingle
and sees the old "stage" which con-
veys passengers between the village
and the station come lumbering down
the beach and plunge into the dusky
or moonlit water, it takes but a lit-
tle imagination to see in it a phan-
tom chariot, impelled by some mys-
terious doom to travel again the an-
cient route, where only boats can
journey now. Almost one perceives a
load of ghastly passengers, but in a
second one's fancy is pulled up short
by the vehicle turning landward. It
is,. told also how the remorseless
surges cut and carved away the too -
yielding cliffs till the shady cemetery,
once well inland, looked down direct-
ly on the waves, which, still unsatis-
fied, threatened to disturb the rest
of the sleepers beneath the turf. But
there a guarding pier has checked'
their rage, and beauty and peace still
reign together in that green "God's
acre."
Some of these tales of the wild
lake's doings sound like legends, but
it is still at the same old work. For
its last winter's meal it sliced off
here and there ten er fifteen feet of
shore, and,' as I write, I hear the
surf growling along bare ledges of
rock that a year ago were covered
comfortably wltb ton foot of earth,
Never, indeed, is this inland sea more
beautiful than when it is in a fury of
swelling waves end tossing spray and
when its waters, colored with the red-
dish earth it has ground to powder,
take on from the far -distant, emil-
ing shy othc' strange hues of blue
ani green.
In addition, as hinted already,
Bronte draws from the lake a har-
vest worth about twenty thousand
dollars annually. In summer the
boats come in several tines a week
laden with whitefish, big salmon
trout or glittering herrings (delicious
eithr ' fresh or smoked - as some
Drente folk have the art of smoking
them). In winter many men employ-
ed during the summer on the Toronto
ferryboat- or lake steamers . come
home to fish. Three men go out on
each of the sailing boats, and two on
the gasoline launches. Usually they
work on a system of "hand shares,"
the boat (or its owner) taking hall
the catch, and the remaining half be-
ing divided in equal shares between
the two or three "hands." ,
Bronte is the home' of several lake
captains, but has lost some of its
former importance as a port. It was
a busy place, bearing its Present ap-
pellation before the time when Char-
lotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre" made her
famous,- andit is a mistake to think
that it was called after her. The
name was really given in honor of the
Duke of Bronte, more familiar to our
thoughts as Horatio Nelson.
Bronte has its romantic legends of
smugglerse who used to land their
emntraband cargoes under cover of
night, while two men on horseback
watched, east and west, on the Lake
Shore road to give instant notice of
the approach of the revenue officers.
In legitimate trade_ it shipped annual-
ly thousands of bushels: of wheat.
This was stored temporarily in a line
of warehouses Llong the river's bank,
and sometimes, after harvest, a -pro-
cession of wagons half a mile long
was to be seen reaching from the
wharves to the point where the Ra-
dial . Electric line now crosses the
road. During the Crimean War prices
soared to heights previously un-
dreamed of, but the great prosperity
of ,the farmers was short-lived, for
the return of peace brought down
the abnormal prices and, soon after-
wards, the "midge" made sad havoc
of the wheat crops. -Emily Pr Weav-

The Metlacatla Indians became
known ,for their industry, and their
painstaking earnestness in furthering
their industries. And more: the tribes
who used to live on each other be-
came the least warlike.
But ill -luck seemed to `shadow the
kind Father. The beautiful church,
of which he was so proud, was burned
to the ground through jealousy.
For there were constant bickerings
amongst " the white-faced people.
Bigkerings as to the religion estab-
lished by this stranger; bickerings
about the industry he had establish-
ed among the Indians.
The good Father, was blind and
deaf to the bick..:ings for awhile.
He rebuilt his church and went quiet-
ly about his work. At last, however,
he became tired of the controversies
of opinion. He longed for a quiet spot
where he could live as he wished. So
he decided to leave the Holy City he
•had established. He went back to
establish his religion and home in
the Alaska which had driven him out
before. Of the twelve hundred fol-
lowers he had in Metlacatla, over
eight hundred went with him.
But they- left many reminders.
Wonderful carvings cut in, great ce-
dar trees. These are the family to-

where from ten to fifty feet high, and
carved upon them grotesque birds,
bears, fishes, and animals of all sorts.

pr a tribute to their deity. The white
man cannot appreciate the totems of
the Indians.
The most remarkable one stands
on the seashore, where a neglected
road now leads up from the landing
to the village of Metlacatla. This is
made of granite. One might call it a
monument. It represents a mother
holding her child in her lap. Rising
from the head of the figure like a
high hat, the monument extends
some six feet, terminating in a square
top, six or eight inches in diameter.
At the bottom is inscribed some
strange epitaph, no one knows what.
But the Indians know the meaning of
4t. They say that the monument was
erected In memory of a white woman
who dwelt amongst them, and died
in their midst.

!WW IT'S KARAK(ILE.
Prince Edward Islanders Have Gone
In For Persian Lamb Fur.
Canada's fur -raising province -
that is certainly Prince Edward Is-
land -is now goiug in for Karakule
stock, and this seems likely to prove
a most lucrative phase of the Indus•
try.
On a farm near Charlottetown,
there is a herd of eleven pure-bred
Karakule sheep which were brought
over from the desert of Kolrhara to
this country some little time ago.
These animals are used in their
native country to produce Persian
Iamb, Astrachan, Krimmer, and
Broadtail, or baby lamb fur; These
different kinds of fur come from the
offspring of the Ilarakule sheep, the
very best Persian lamb fur being se-
cured from the young animal as soon
atter birth as possible.
More recently' a shipment of 350
Lincoln sheep were sent to Prince
Edward Island. These ,will be used
to cross with the thoroughbred kara-
kule stock, and it is expected that
pelts will be supplied to the London
market shortly.
Government tests' in 'the United
States, where the first herd of these.
foreign sheep were brought in 1908
by Dr. G.C. Young, t he eminent Rus-
sian experimentalist, with the co
operation of ex -President Theodore
Roosevelt, show that Karakule sheep
when crossed with English long -wool
breeds, such as Lincolns, Cotswolds,
or Highland Black Faces, will pro-
duce skins valued at from $6 to $13
each in wholesale lots of 160 to 200
skins per lot.
According to Mr. J. Walter Jones,
B.S.A., of Charlottetown, whose re-
port to the Conservation Commission
on fur -farming in Canada has made
him a recognized authority on breed-
ing and raising of fur -bearing ani-
mals in captivity, the prospects of the
Persian lamb fur industry in his pro-
vince are exceedingly bright. Dr.
Young, who has been conducting his
experients since 1908 in Texas, with
the only other -herd of pure-bred
Karakules which was brought to
America from Bokhara is interested
in the new Prince Edward Island
company.
America has been paying out every
year for a 'considerable period, Mr.
Jones points out, Some $14,000,.000
for the fur pelts of the Persian lamb,
which he claims by the way, is not
product of the Persian sheep.' "Per-
sian iamb" is merely a commercial
term established by furriers, accords
Ing to him, and that fur is really
produced; from the Karakule sheep
which are found in greatest abund-
ance on the Bokhara desert north of

Eskimo Woman's Heroism.
The heroism of an Eskimo woman
'who, while ill, assisted her husband
to drag a sled bearing a sick man
for six weeks is one of the tales re-
lated by Rev. E. W.'Greensbield
recently returned from mission work:
among the inhabitanes of far north-
ern Canada.
The sick man was Prof. Hantsch,
the German explorer, who finally
succumbed to his bardships. Prof.
Hantsch intended to chart the great
inland lake in Baffin's Land. During
the expedition food ran short, One
of the Eskimos returned alone on
foot to a store, 10 days' journey.
His only nourishment outbound was
one tin of condensed milk, though
he carried back a heavy load of
provisions.
With only one Eskimo and his
wife and a dog sledge, Prof. Hantsch
pressed north another 300 miles.
When his health failed the two
Eskimos dragged him homeward on
the sledge for six weeks, although
the woman was seriously ill herself.
They reached the main camp,
where Prof. Hantsch died, the Eski-
mos reading the Church of England
service in their own tongue over his
primitive grave and singing a hymn.
Cr Permanent Issue.
When the late Hon. John Haggart
was soliciting the renewed support
of the electors of South Lanark dur-
ing the campaign of 1911, it was
suggested to him by tate Conservative
party organizers that speakers should
be sent into bis riding to support
the anti -reciprocity cause, Now
Haggart had represented South Lan-
ark for forty years, and his personal
strength made Liberal opposition of
little avail. When the suggestion of
outside speakers was broached to
him, he drawled in reply:
"Well, I don't know that it would
do much good. Yon had better use
your speakers elsewhere. I want to
tell you that reciprocity ie.. not an
issue in the county of South Lanarlr.

Prayer Beads for Council.
Thomas McAuley, a veteran Wink -
seller of Kingston, Ont., caused a
sensation at the Council meeting re-
cently by sending tine mayor and
each alderman a set of prayer beads,
saying that they would, be able to
pray with one hand in their pocket
and use the other to pound the desk
at the same time. Several years ago
Mr. McAuley sent the Council tho
ten commandments, but he observed
in his letter that the mayor and al-
dermen had very severely broken
them, and that they needed another
reminder that they should pray as
well as legislate,
