Claus Anderson's expedition 1e.
turned from Spitzbergen Oct. 3. There
were six men, and their field of opera
tions was King Karl's Land. No ship
could reach that island last summer.
on account Of ice, and as the provf-
sions would not last another year.
they started Sept. 6, for Advent Bay.
on the west coast of Spitzbergen. The
distance to the nearest point of land
was ninety miles, and there was
open water for about twenty miles.
This meant that they had to drag their
huge boat with the complete equip
ment, across rough ice fields for
distance of seventy miles. The load
became so heavy that one article after
another was thrown away, and finallT
even the underwear had to 10. It
took six days to make this trip. Dur
ing the last twenty.four hours they
were soaked by rain and sleet. When
they reached land all of them went
to sleep. Fortunately they found some
driftw00d, so they could build a fire.
Their only food at this place was seal
flesh, blubber, and black coffee. Twen-
ty miles farther west they found an
old house full Of snow. They took a
rest of two days at this place. They
next crossed the country to Storfjord,
which was open. It was now an easy
matter to sail to Agent Bay, on the
other side Of the fjord. Here they
left their boat, which they had dragged
for a distance of 1876 miles. Again
they took days rest and killed some
reindeer, the skins of which they made
into sleeping bags. They continued
their journey across the amountains
to Sassen Bay, on the west coast of
Spitzbergen. This took several days.
BY this time they were exhausted, and
they left everything except one ration
of venison for each man. Finally they
arrived at Advent Bay, where tho
watchman of the English coal COM
pany cared for them as best he could.
They came just In time to embark on
the William Munroe. the steamer 6f
the American coal company, which
took them to Tromso.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There IS
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness tcaused by catarrhl
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Communicated.

Mr.. Editor-In passing along through
our principal street few days since, |
was struck with the spirit OF Improvement
manifested all along the street - new
pavements, painting ofhouses, and fences
being whitewashed. When reached the
western portion Of the street, known as
philadelphia, the thought also struck
me that much improvement could be
added to the appearance OF some OF the
small frame and log houses in that portion
of the town if the owner would just imbibe
a little OF the same spirit. thought
would offer this suggestion to those who
own these houses or rent them to others.
One buShel OF lime, costing forty cents,
will be sufficient for any one OF these.
You or one OF the boys that you have
about you can do the work-all for forty
cents and one days work. If you rent
the house, let me suggest, Mr.. Owner,
that you might offer to furnish the lime if
your renter will do the work. II he will
not, then pay him one dollar and furnish
the lime, and your house will be nicely
whitewashed and TIE whole neighbour
hood improved in appearance at cost OF
one dollar and forty cents. Let some
one start the work and see if others will
not follow. suggest that this work start
at the blacksmith shop and continue on
out until the last house is reached. After
all is completed I! am sure you will all
agree that much improvement has been
accomplished. Don't put it off-let some
one make the start.

"To hell with the rising generation"

a reverse last Thursday, when the city OF
