The Arctic Summer,

The arctic summer is brief, but for
weeks together there is nothing to dis
tinguish day and night. Once at Dvor-
mix two naturalists had left their ship
at different hours. When later they
met, one said, Good morning" the 9TH
er, Good evening" Both agreed that
the hour was I. but while one traveller
held that it was Z tomorrow morning
the other maintained that it was Z
o'clock last night. On returning to the
ship they settled that 1t was last night
so they dined and went to bed again.

Captain Hayes in his book, Among

amusing stories. A friend Of his in
New Zealand had been government
interpreter among the Maoris and had
many stories to tell about these people.
On one occasion a native chief, who
was under cross examination in court,
on being asked why he had not brought
a certain man with him replied:
81 have brought him.
"But," said the barrister, looking in
vain round the court, 81 don't see him.
Where is he:"
"He is here" chuckled the Maori
proudly, stroking his massive chest.

years doctors pronounced it local disease,

pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Medical science grows apace with ciyiliza-

that combines all the results of scientific
study up to the present time and is put up in

Five years ago marked the time of the sale
of the first box. Last year the sale reached

In this hustling, every day, busy life Of ours
people need just this kind of medicine to

of Cascarets should give them a good trial.
