grees fourteen minutes. We meant to
spend the winter of 1S99-19O0 on the ship,
at Tafel bay, latitude eighty-one degrees
fifty-five minutes, but early in September
we froZe in solid. Soon the ice began
screwing around and we were lifted up in
the air. turned first one way and then
another and finally tipped over on the
port side and left on our beam ends.
You can get some idea of the force of
the ice by looking at the sides here. The
ship was built eighteen years ago for a
whaler, and was meant for hard work, but
to make her stronger. the duke had an
extra outside sheet of heavy planking put
on, giving her double hull. Then she was
braced inside by heavy iron brackets, yet
the double planking cracked up like pa
per, and the iron brackets bent like tin
when the ice pressed in on her.
Cold Weather for Camping.
ION September we began hurrying ev-
erything possible ashore. We left the ship
with her hold a solid cake Of ice from
the inflow Of water. A camp was estab-
Hshed; one large tent with two smaller
ones inside, and between the two we put
our stove. The stove was the best thing
in camp. We had 122 dogs, which were put
under wooden shelter, and the care OF
them took up most Of our time during
nearly six months. That was cold and
forlorn and lonesome a time as L ever want
to spend The temperature was fifty de-
grees below freezing most of the time,
and sometimes much lower. We had to be
very careful to escape getting parts OF
our bodies frozen. The duke was the head
man in every way, and his kindness and
helpfulness and generosity did more imam
anything else to keep up our spirits ana

He is very strong, and can pack eighty
pounds on his back easily. Our beds In
camp were all alike, but they were not
nearly as bad as you might think we had
taken sand along in sacks, and with this
to make thin covering over the Ice, and
with an outside sack Of fur and an inside
sack of wool, l slept quite comfortably.
The dogs are so hardy that they lie right
on the bare ice without danger, except to
their noses. which are the weak point, and
sometimes freeze.
1--WE remained in this camp until March
II, though there had been trial sledge trips
a. different times to test the dogs and the
equipment generally. In one of these pre-
liminary Journeys the duke froze his hand
so badly that the two middle fingers had
to be cut off. With our conditions of life
the operation was a severe one, and that
and the extreme cold pulled the duke down
so badly that he couldn't make any fur
ther personal exploration.
Start for the Pole.
ION March II Capt. Cagui, with the dogs
and twelve men. made a start for the north
pole leaving the duke and six others to
look after the camp and prevent further
damage to the ship. 1 was one Of the cap

"soon after we started back we found we
had figured too fine. With all the speed
we could make the last ration was ex-

reached. There was only one thing to do
eat the dogs. It wasn't pleasant to have
to kill the faithful and intelligent animals,
but 1t was their lives or ours. The weakesl
went first and we got back without having

WOmen's House Gowns.

From Harper's Bazaar.
House gowns are made on the same lines
as they have been for the last year or two,
excepting that the lining is always fitted,
and while the draperies may fall loose in
empire style. the gown itself has more tho
effect Of fitted garment. Many house
gowns are made cut out at the neck and
with elbow sleeves, and almost without ex-
ception they are very elaborate, both In
the material used and in the trimmings.

Competitions in Art and Architecture.
From the American Architect

From the American Architect
Notwithstanding our high opinion Of the
artists of the Congressional Library and
the Appellate Court, whether they were
really those whom the profession and the
pubic nave always supposed them to be-
or some gifted but unknown persons who
labored In secret, we believe that 1t Is q
| mistake, so far as the advancement Of pub
lie art Is concerned, to employ artists for
such work except as a result of competi-
ton. Undoubtedly, some of the best known
artsts Will refuse to enter a competition
and the opportunity Of employing their
talent Will be lost; but the probability of
bringing to light new talent goes far to
outweigh this disadvantages; while the ef-
fect OF notable and well-conducted arts ic
competition in stimulating artists and In
tereSt1ng the public, is so very great that
the few opportunities which present them
selves in this country for holding such
competitions should as IL seems to rs he

We must confess that we have no great
sympathy with the commercial views which
treat the profession of art as a business
enterprise, the profits of which are to be
increased by attempts to monopolize its
practice, or to exclude the public from the
full enjoyment of works executed at the
public expense; and we do not believe that
e ene oest WORK In art can be done without
forgetting, at least for the time, mercenary
considera lions; and important competitions
by substituting, on OCCASION the stimulus
OF rivalry and hope for the dull calcuia ton
OF dollars and cents, are unless we misun-
derstand the history Of art. beneficial to

competitions, when well managed, is of
incaiculable value. Every citizen is inter-
ested in the public buildings Of his own

average citizen in such matters is not now
Of much value, but 1t is advantageous to
him to have tried to form an opinion; and
later, his judgment will be worth more in

LONDON, January 10, 1901
When the Stella Polare, which carried the
Duke of Abruzzrs expedition into the arctic
Ice. where the point nearest the north pole
ever attained by human beings was reached.
was forced by shortness of coal to put into
Portsmouth harbor, many sightseers from
London went down, eager to see the ship
and the men who had penetrated so near
the goal of arctic exploration.
The Stella Polare, with her broad beam,
fiat stern and double hull, built for bulldog
endurance and resistance. was. in herself
an interesting sight, but most Of those who
hoped TO see any of the arctic explorers
were disappointed, for the original crew
was not aboard and the duke himself, with
his suite. had left the ship at Norway and
gone home to Italy by fast steamer and
passenger route.
Originally the expedition had been
financed from the dukes private purse but
when he reached Norway. en- route home
his government. proud of his having car
ried the flag farther north than man had
ever before penetrated, had offered to re-
leve him of all further responsibility. So
the original crew had been paid off and a
new complement of men and officers direct
from Italy had taken charge.

OF hearing any personal news Of the

first, though the loneliness and silence were
awful as soon as we got out of sight of

Soon 1t became evident that the food would

FOR INDIGESTION.
Successful Use of Olive OIL for Ihat

Successful Use of Olive Oil for That
DisagreeabIe Maiady.
DR.. NJ L. Hoihrook in Health Magazine.
One has only to consider how olive Oil IS
used in the warm parts of Europe "here
the olive Is cultivated and how ghee Is usea
in India In order to satisfy onese1 uhal
DIV matter may be taken with facllty III
hot countries as well as in cold. You near
nothing about Indigestion In these lands'
you find that a bad olive harvest or scan1
supply of ghee is a great national Calamity.
Hindoo servant Of a friend who Kept up
his Indian habits Of eating In London mas
told me that in his own case nothing would
make up for a deficiency Of ghee or butter
and that his experience in this matter was
the common experience of his countrymen
at home or away from nome. lndeed, 1t
may be taken for granted that OIL may De

year in the hot oive-groWfng countries OIL

ing the people bilious or out Of order III any
way, but with unmistakable benefit.
Dr. Cohnheim at the International med
ical congress detailed his experience with
large doses of olive oil in cases of severe
gastric distress. In his first case the young
man had suffered from an injury In the
gastric region. and it seemed probable that
an ulcer had resulted. The pain on eating
was so great as to make him avoid food
A wine glass Of olive oil taken before meals
gave complete relief. The same remedy
was tried in other cases in which stomach
discomfort was a prominent symptom
Even in cases of gastric cancer relief was
afforded to many symptoms In cases Of
pylorus stenoSis most satisfactory results
were secured as far as the alienation of
symptoms was concerned Cohnheim has
treated twelve cases Of gastric catarrh by
this method with uniformly good results
whenever the patients bore the OIL we'll.
Patients who had lost SO much In weight as
to appear almost cachectic began immedi-
ately to gain In weight, and within a couple
Of months gained from fifteen to thirty
pounds.
Prof Matthew of Paris said that in GER
tain parts of the country, both of Germany
and France, olive oil is used as a family
remedy for all stomach pains and has a
high reputation. In his practice at the
Hospital Andral DR.. Matthew has often used
this remedy and knows how efficient it is
where less simple remedies have failed.
He recommends it with confidence, despite
the fact that 1t is a popular hygienic rather
than drug medicine.

that applies to wearing a street suit In the
