The Druggist Lost In Ibsen.

Some one in Scandinavia unearthed
the report of the examiners on DR., ID

degree of bachelor. 1t runs as follows
Norwegian, good; Latin prose, good;
Latin essay, fairly good; Latin CONVEX
sation, moderate; Greek, bad; arithme-
tic, bad; German. very good; French.
good; religious knowledge, good; histo-

young man not to be despised.
In spite of many goods" however
Ibsen was plowcd owing to his def1cien-

IN THE FROZEN NORTH.
An Experience In Keeping Camp In ar
Arctic Blizzard.

ArCtiS 6HZkdTo.
7 awoke one morning almost suf-
located. The tent had blown down
on top of us, and the snow was
drifting hard upon top Of that, and
a storm was raging with a fury be-
yond description. Accusing my COM
panions, we managed with difficulty
to get out of our bags and from
beneath the heavy mass of snow and
canvas. We always slept in our
deerskin suits, and this was very
fortunate, for we only had to slip
on our big fur mittens, which we
kept inside our sleeping bags to keep
them from freezing, and we were
ready for the worst. The wind
struck us with force that made 1t
difficult for us to stand, the atmos-
phere was so full of flying snow that
we could scarcely see and the roar
of the storm was 80 great we could
not hear each other speak. The
sound of it was exactly that of the
wind and water during a heavy
storm at sea.
The only sign I could find of my
sled dogs would be when l would
stumble over a mound of snow and
discover there was dog inside Of it
At such a time a practical knowl-
edge of how to do things saves many
a life. The snow of these regions
is always hard, packed by the winds.
and we set to work with axes cut,
ting and carrying huge blocks of it
and building walls with them around
our camp. For three hours we work,
ed with all our might, building
heavy walls on three sides unit
they were almost as high as oul
heads. Then we cleaned the snow
off the top of the tent and once
more erected that and made 1t fast
Then we dragged out our bedding
and deerskin rug and shook the
snow out of them and rearrangec
the camp inside. Luckily We hac
prepared lot of wood the evening
before, and the stove was soon agar
in place and a fire going.-AndreV
J. Stone in Scribner's.

The FIRST action when you have
a cold should be to relieve the
lungs. This Is best accomplished
by the free use of Chsmberlain's
Cough Remedy. This remedy
liquifes the tough mucus and
causes Its expulsion from the air
cells of the lungs, produces free
expectoration, and opens the secre-
lions. A complete cure soon fol-
lows. This remedy will cure a
severe cold In less time than any
other treatment and 1t leaves the
system In a natural and healthy
condition. 1t counteracts any ten
