seemed intefminable continued Tor ten

and their companions. One Of the
lroquolse, Louie French, was sick, in
fact very low with bloody dysentery,
and the last night they were In the
canoes the thermometer was At zero and
one OF the Iroquoise. Michele French,
froze both his feet badly. Every night
the canoes would be cased 10 ice, and
have to be chopped of. When about
forty miles from Fort Churchill the
forest began, and extended down to the
neigh borhood OF the Fort. NJnst before
this they had managed to kill polar
bear, and for days they lived almost en-
tirely on that. At one time they were
out in the canoes two days unable TO
reach the shore. The shore was low
and the water shallow. the difference
between high and low tide being some
five or six miles.
One night they went ashore, thor
oughly exhausted, aud bad hardly land
ed, whsn fearful gale broke on the
coast, accompanied by terrible snow
storm. They managed to crawl into
the edge of the forest. almost diving Of
hunger and fatigue, and built fire 10

thaw their half frozen bodies. That
night, they cooked the last OF their
bear, having eaten tina most OF It raw.
AT last tho end seemed 10 have come.
Sore, weary, heartsick and famishing,
these noble fellows called council.
The next day, October 10Th, they com
mitted one OF the two rifles,
with most of the ammunition
to the two hali-breeds, who
were able TO walk, John Flett and jim
Corrlgal, and told them TO coast along
tho shore and reach Fort Churchill:
and added with deep meaning 10 their
tones, that II they failed TO find the
Fort, thep need not return. There
would in that case be no need OF return
ing. 1t would mean death TO the whole
party.
What the thoughts Of these brave e1-
plorers were, as they saw their tired
companions disappear In the woods,
cannot be told and anxiously the hun
qry and frozen men waited, foodless
and shelterless under that stormy and
icy sky. How the hours dragged
along, till on the third day, a welcome
shout sweeter than ever human voice
had been before, burst upon them. The
half breeds had been successful In
reaching Fort Churchill, in two days.
The people Of the Fort realized that II
they would find the explorers alive
they must hasten and the third day
came with four dog teams and sledges.
II was a sudden transition from blank
despair to overwhelming joy. The
canoes and the sick were loaded on the
sledges but the rest Of the party were
forced to walk on snow shoes to the
For distance about 30 miles. The snow
was three feet deep and so soft that the
dogs had hard work 10 get the sledges
through.
A short distance before reaching the
Fort. J. BFTyrrel's strength gave
way, and he had TO be carried In. The
legs and arms Of every one OF the party,
swelled to nearly twice the usual size,
but the kind attention given them,
brought them out all right.
They reached Fort Churchill in Hud-
sons Bay in Latitude $3.50 north and
Longitude 92.20 west, on the 10th Of &C.

HAMILTON, ONr., February 20.-The
4ost remarkable journey undertaken
in the past quarter century, and the
largest exploration Of hitherto unknown
territory, has just been accomplished.
The details OF these explorations have
been set forth in a few meagre &C
counts, but no consecutive sketch OF
this marvellous tale OF adventure has
been laid before the public. For the
first time the facts as taken from the
lips OF one of the explorers are here de-
scribed. Two brothers, Lieut. Joseph

hood with which 10 was accomp dshed,

That, Of all known agents to accomplish
this purpose, DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are
unequaled, is proven by the fact that once
/ used, hey are dllcays IN fdror. The" sec
ondary effect is to keep the bowels open and
| regular, not TO further constipate, as is the
case with other pills. Hence, their great
| popularity with sufferers from habitual con
! stipation, piles, and indigestion.
The Pleasant Pellets are far more efTec-
| tive in arousing the liver to action than "blue
pills. calomel, or other mercurial prepara-
tions, and have the further merit Of being
purely vegetable and perfectly harmless IN
any condition of the system no particular
care is required while using them.
Composed of the choicest, concentrated
vegetable extracts, their cost is much more
than is that of other pills found in the mar
ket, yet from forty to forty-four pellets -
are put up in each scaled glass vial, as sold
through druggists, and can he had at the price
of the more ordinary and cheaper made pills.
DIR. Pierce prides himself on having been
first TO introduce Little Liver Pill 20 the
American people. Many have initiated them,
but none have approached his Pleasant Pei
lets in excellence.
For all laxative and cathartic purposes
| the Pleasant Pellets are infinitely supe-
rior 10 all mineral waters,n sedlitz pow
ders, " salts" castor oil, fruit syrups lso-
| called, laxative " teas,n and the many other
purgative compounds sold in various forms.
Put up in glass vials, sealed, therefore
! always fresh and reliable. One little " Pei
let is laxative, two gently cathartic.
As "dinner pill,n to promote digestion,
take one each day after dinner To relieve
distress from over-eating, nothing equals
them. They arc tiny, sugar coated. anti.
bilious granules, scarcely larger than mus
tard seeds. Every child wants them
Then, after they are taken, instead of dis
turbing and shocking the system, they act in
mild, and natural way. There is no re-
action afterward. Their help lasts.

While duck-shooting n year or two
ago on the shore Of one of those beau
tiful lakes which render Michoacan the
most picturesque of Mexican states the
attention of the writer was drawn TO a
group of native women and children in
the woods hard by, busily engaged
in picking up and placing in baskets
what at first sight looked like nuts.
Curious to know what sort of nuts they
were, drew near and asked bright
little Indian girl what she had there.
"Frijoles, senor." she said. / further
learned from her that these frijoles
! (beans) were sold by the Indians for a
cent and n half a pound, and that they
went in a great ship across the sea to

used for tanning becerro Qeather) for

All this from little tawny Indian

Furthermore l learned that this bean

it was simply the ear bean.

These ear beans grow wild on a
small tree which reaches the height Of
twenty and thirty feet, with wide,
branching limbs. As many as ten
bushels often grow on n single tree.
When ripe they fall TO the ground,
and over many extensive tracts, not only
in Michoacan, but in Colima and Guerre-
ro untold thousands Of bushels remain
ungathered in the forests. 1t is not
difficult to hire the Indians to pick them
up at one cent pound. The littls In
dian girl told me that she gathered

To be used for tanning, the beans
have only to be dried and ground; and
so rich are they in astringent qualities
