Antarctic Secrets.

A good deal of secrecy has been OBJ
served as to just what Of scientific
value was learned by the recent voy-
age OF the British ship Discovery into
the antarctic regions. The geograph-
ical results Of the exploration are well
known, but the scientific results will
take a long time to work out. Ii is
said. however, that a secret has been
brought back which will shake the
foundations of many a scientific belief.
Certain fossils have been found which
prove beyond doubt that once-no one
yet can tell how long ago-mammals,
and perhaps even men. lived upon the
land where now are utter desolation
and life destroying ice and snow. These
treasures were packed into tin boxes
and brought to London under special
escort to the British museum. where
they will await inquiry by specialists.
In speaking of the matter Sir Clements
Markham was most guarded. Still he
admitted that fossils must in any case
mean much. They may upset all the
theories as to the polar system and the
geographical origin and age of the
world.

Rat Catching ms an Amusement.


Unremitting warfare against rats Is
advocated by Sir James Crichton
Browne. who says that people nova
days are living under sanitary condi-
tons which will seem as shocking and
wrong to their descendants 200 years
hence as conditions that obtained two
centuries ago appear now. In advocat-
ing a crusade against rats. as the great
carriers Of disease. Sir James suggests
q new form Of relaxation. I'VE have
with u.s." he says. lots OF gilded
youths whose time hangs heavy on
their hands and who might vary their
amusements by rat catching. which
much be quite as exciting and elevat-
ing as pigeon shooting. II the sport
ing papers would give a description Of
the battues and reports OF the bags
with odds on the favorite rat catchers
and portraits OF the record breakers
these pernicious little rodents would
soon become scarce-unless indeed
enthusiasts should take to breeding
and laying them down as we do pleas
ants. Great things may he expected
when sport. fashion and sanitation
join hands i'm rat catching"

the cause of the trouble. Captain
Krech. who on his ship. like all other
captains. is judge. jury and court of

a stern look. Besides learning that tie
little girl had taken tie jam. lie also
learned that her father and mother
were poor and could not provide
sweetmeats ior her. When the case
had been presented Captain Krech
thought over the evidence for time.
and. as the girl was caught with the

LECTURE eY BRIGHAM.

W. T. Brigham, curator at the Der.
nice Pauahi Bishop Museum, lectured
before three or four hundred people
at Pauahi Hall, Punahou, last evening"
His was an account of his experiences
In New Zealand while there a few
months ago. He spoke of the hot.
spring region. afterwards showing ster.
eopticon views of some of the most in.
teresting places. He described the
mud springs, the spouting geysers. the
sulphur mines, the waterfall and other
interesting points. Mr.. Brigham thinks
the labor system in New Zealand Is
somewhat Of a failure. All the hotels
are forced to close at 10 o'clock, to
give the employees rest. The shops
close at 8. The trains and railroads
are shut down on Sunday and the
workingman is protected In every way.
Every man who has been a good citl.
zen for twenty-five years, who Is over
sixty and who earns not more than
ESQ year, is entitled to a pension.
This amounts to els year and there
are 1920 pensioners.

An Alarming Case.
SEVERE TEST OF A BLOOD REMEDY
 IN ERYSIPELAS.
pr. wiIliams' Pink Pills Banish Pain nnd Inflammation and Avert Peril
 From the Vital Organs.

Erysipelas or St. Anthony's fire Is a most uncomfortable disease on account of the burning, the pain and the dis. figurement and is attended always by the danger of involving vital organs.
 The case which follows will be read with great interest by all sufferers as it affected the whole body, and refused to yield to the remedies prescribed by the physician employed. The victim. Mrs Ida A. Colbath, of No. 19 Winter Street, Newburyport. Mass, was in fact completely discouraged when she be- gan the course of treatment which led to her recovery.
 "Tn June of 1903," she says. T was taken i'll with what at first appeared to be fever I sent for physician who said I was threatened with a dangerous and lingering illness. He prescribed for me but his medicine had no perceptible effect. One day he pronounced my dis ease chronic erysipelas and said it would be a long time before l would be up and around.
 Inflammation began on my face and spread all over my body. My eyes were swollen and seemed bulging out of their sockets. I was in terrible plight and suffered the most intense pain throughout my body.
 'sThe doctor said my case was a very severe one. Under his treatment. how ever the inflammation did not dimin- ish and the pains which shot through my body increased in severity. After being confined to bed for two months under his care, without any improve ment, I decided to get along for time at least without any physician.
 "A few days after I had discontinued the services of a physician, a friend from Maine who was visiting me, spoke very highly of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and, on her ad- vice, I bought a box, but with little confidence that they could help me when a doctor had failed to do any good.
 T began to take the pills, however. two at dose three times a day. After the second box had been used I was surprised to notice that the infiamma- ton was going down and that the pains which used to cause me such agony had disappeared. After using six boxes of the pills I was up and around the house attending to my household duties as well as ever. I am profoundly thank full that Dr. Williams Pink Pills were ever brought to my attention and am always ready to tell any one what they have done for me-"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills cure all diseases springing from an impoverish- ed or vitiated condition of the blood, such as anaemia, rheumatism, scrofula They make pale complexions ruddy and are the best of tonics in all cases of debility. They are especially helpful to women whose health is so closely de- pendent on the state of the blood. They are sold by all druggists throughout the world.

MANY HORSES COMING.
Gard Of Fair Association At
N tractive Feature.

The four days race meeting an
nounced by the Billings Fair associa-
ton, beginning August %, will not
lack in track features, if reports from
horse men in other parts of the coun-
try are to be credited. All the horses
that have wintered at the Bozeman
track will be shipped here during the
next two weeks. There will be about
20 harness and running animals in this
bunch. Race horse owners in the
western part of the state have practi-
cally agreed to open the season at the
Billings meeting.
The drawing card for the horsemen
at the Billings meeting this year is
the attractive purses hung up by the
association. The race feature always
draws the crowd, and this year on
account of the rich stakes and the
big improvements made on the track,
that part of the annual meeting of the
association will be the most notable
in the history of the association.
OF course, the fair is held a little
too early to make a complete exhibit
of all the garden and field products
of this section of the Yellowstone val
ley, but it is believed that with a little
special effort on the part of the farm
ers and market gardeners even a cred
liable exhibit in that class can be
made the latter part of the month.
