Deadman,S Land.

A writer connected with one of the
rctlc exploring expeditions, saws;
While tramping around beyond Green
Harbor, near where found the cannon
! ball stones of such peculiar formation,
came upon several wrecked and rifled
graves The men must have been
buried before the frost was out of the
ground, for the coffins were not cover
ed, but seemed to have been put into a
slight depression scratched in the CLAW.
The coffins had partially rotted away
and broken, and the grinning skulls
and bleached bones were strewn about
In horrid disorder, indicating that the
fox and bear had disturbed their rest.
L spent some time in gathering the
bones of those poor fellows into their
original resting place and covering
them up with rocks and sods of moss.
No history of these lonesome graves
cuuld be CLEANED, but it is likely that
they were those of Morse or Russian
victims of the scurvy. 1t is possible
that they fell in some of those bloody
fights, gossips of which are still cur
rent among the fishermen and hunters
of northern Europe. The tradition

years ago the Dutch and Russians,
who came here to harpoon whales, di-
vided their time in bloody combats. in
which no quarter was given. The
whale fisheries were then very valuable
and worth fighting about, so every ship
sent out was fitted for offense and de-
tense. Some attempts at colonization
were stamped out in consequence of
this feud. If colony of Russians
managed to survive the scurvy for a
winter, and Dutch ship arrived fresh
from the south in the spring, the colo
ny was sure to be obliterated, and the
Russians treated the Dutch with the
same kind consideration when they ar
rived first. The finding of unknown
graves is quite common on the shores
OF all the bays and fords of Spitzber-
gen. This dreary, inhospitable place
might fttingly be called Deadman's
Land, name given to small spot
Just outside of Green Harbor in Ice
Fiord.

Observe Habits of Regularity

In eating, drinking and retiring, as a means of
maintaining or restoring health. No less i'm
portant is it to correct growing tendency to lr-
regularity in the habit of body. The function of
the bowels cannot be suspended without an ac-
cOmpanying disturbance of the liver and stomach
and other sympathetic evidences of bodily ilI-be-
ing. A course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
will give an impetus to the operations of these
organs. which is manifested not only in the ben
etcial effects it produces upon them, but also in
more regular and active bilious secretion, and
the disappearance of wind on the stomach and
colicky pains. The waste matter thrown off dur
ing the process of digestion is then effecttually
expelled, and the system more thoroughly puri-
fed by the channel devoted to that purpose by
nature.
