Dust storms swept down from their scared sides. Distant gleams of glittering ice from the glaciers dazzled us when the sun shone upon them.
 "But here, in land where there Is almost no fuel, and where few crops besides hay and turnips can be raised in the lard of the midnight sun in summer, and the midday moon in win. ter. I found books and cheerful con. versation, an outlook on life. and q knowledge of current events which have not always found in populous cities.
 There are no schools, to: be sure, outside of ReyaJavik and one or two
 
 other small towns, for children cannot walk ten miles each way to school. house, and eyel,l such 2 schoolhQuse would accommodate but two or three families.

If one were asked to speculate. as to the sovereign whose daily mall bag was the greatest one would hazard the kaiser. But no Then most will say 1t ought. to be. On on unim peachable authority of Paris con temporary we learn that the pope is the recipient of the greatest number of missives.
 The mail of his holiness consists on the avaragezof 23.000s letters, news papers. etc, To go through this mass 85 secretaries are kept employed.
 The president of the United States receives nearly 1000 letters daily and about 4,O00 journals and books
 The kaiser's mail consists of 4,00o letters and frequently the same mum Der of books and papers. Our king we learn. Is favored with 1000 letters day and over 2,000 newspapers and books.
 The czar isanot overworked in this respect for sovereign, his majesty'a mail being given at $50 letters, etc., per day. The kings of Italy and Spain have to deal with about 200 letters each.

INDIGESTION
A Disorder that Breeds Dis ease in the Body, and an Easy Way to Cure it.

Take care of the stomach and you will have little need for the doctor.
 When the stomach begins to show signs of disorder; when the food digests slowly and with discomfort; when you have heartburn; feel bloated and uneasy, you are in condition that needs atten- ton.
 Prickly Ash Bitters corrects the dis ordered stomach by strengthening and toning up the digestive organs, driving the badly digested food into the bowels and thence out of the system. Constipation is nearly always pres ent when the stomach becomes sour or disordered. Prickly Ash Bitters con. tains the medicinal qualities which act as a restorative and regulator for the stomach and bowels. It strengthens the digestive organs, cures constipation and prevents the return of bilious conditions Thousands of people who have re ceived lasting benefit from this great remedy willingly testify to it's power in curing indigestion, constipation and kid ney trouble.
 1T suffered from constipation for years, and tried many remedies, but Prickly Ash Bitters is the only medicine that has ever done me any good. Through Its useI am now in good health and entirely free from all traces of my former troubieo-B. P. srIeALr, winnsboro, Louisiana
