the most southerly human habitation.
Round It are set up fifteen tents large

"The principal food depot is about

FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY
Where the Winters Are Cold and the
Shows Deep.

Writing from the vicinity David
Harum made famous, a man says that
he was an habitual coffee drinker, and,
although he knew it was doing him
harm, was too obstinate to give it up,
till all at once he went to pieces with
nervousness and insomnia, loss of ap-
petite, weakness, and a generally
used-up feeling. which practically un-
fitted him for his arduous occupation,
and kept him on couch at home
when his duty did not call him out.
while in this condition Grape
Nuts food was suggested to me, and l
began to use it. Although 1t was in
the middle of winter, and the ther-
mometer was often below zero, almost
my entire living for about six weeks
of severe exposure was on Grape-Nuts
food with little bread and butter and
cup of hot water. till l was wise
enough to make Postum my table bev-
erage.
After the first two weeks 1 began
to feel better and during the whole
winter never lost a trip on my mail
route. frequently being on the road
or hours at time.
THE constant marvel to me was
how person could do the amount of
work and endure the fatigue and hard
ship as did, on SO small an amount
of food. But found my new rations
SO perfectly satisfactory that 1 have
continued them-using both Postum
and Grape-Nuts at every meal, and
often they comprise my entire meal.
"All my nervousness, irritability and
Insomnia have disappeared and healthy,
natural sleep has come back to me.
But what has been perhaps the great
est surprise to me is the fact that
with the benefit to my general health
has come a remarkable improvement
in my eye-sight.
IF good appetite. good digestion,
good eye-sight, strong nerves and an
active brain are to be desired, can
say from my own experience, use

NE HUNDRED years ago
AYAA Ireland had a remnant of
NM her ancient bards; fallen
AKW from their high estate, it
is true. being reduced In
great part to the nomad
habits of the strolling musician, old
and. in many cases, blind; but still
playing the old airs on pipes and harp
and enjoying the love and affection of
the Irish people. They had almost
disappeared when Edward Bunting un-
dertook to preserve what was left OF
Erin's ancient minstrelsy. An assem-
bly, Of harpers was held at Belfast,
and the tunes as they were played
were taken down by Bunting. The
collection of airs which he published
formed the treasury of song from
which Moore Cleaned his immortal
melodies.
The movement to revive the min
strelsy of the Gael has received a
great impetus within recent years. 1t
affords field Of intellectual effort
wherein there is no room for the ra-
cial divisions which have proved SO
disastrous In Ireland. Educated men

thought are helping along the good
work. and they find willing and loyal
auxiliaries in England. notably in the
great educational centers of Oxford
anu Cambridge
The late Sir Frederick Gore Ousely,
professor of music at Oxford, was
deep student of Gaelic music and one
of its most fervent eulogists. Long
before Norman influence was brought
to bear on native art" writes Sir Fred
erick. there existed in Ireland tradi-
tional melodies, the origin of which is
lost In antiquity"
New strength has been given the
movement by the accession of Denis
O'Sullivan, the famous Irish-American
singer. to the ranks of the gifted men.
who are directing the Gaelic revival.
1t is an appropriate dispensation of
mysterious fate that most popular
and influential leader in this patriotic.
artistic movement should come from
the ranks of the exiled children OF the
Gael. Mr.. O'Sullivan was formally
commissioned to aid in the glorious
propaganda at a complimentary din
ner given to him recently by the Irish
parliamentary party in London. The
eloquent T. p. O'Connor spoke for
Ireland on the occasion.

CELTIC STRAIN IN AMERICA
Its interrninaIIng With That Of Other
Races Has Made This Nation
Strong and Great.

1t would take a volume. and large
one, to set forth the whole of the
debt which America owes to men Of
Celtic blood There Is a sentimental
effort on foot by men of this race to
conserve the various branches OF the
Celtic language and to perpetuate in
its purity to future ages the Celtic
blood. The sentiment is admirable.
The Celts. and particularly Irishmen.
have been noted for their ardent
patriotism. No people ever loved
their native, sod with such a tender
ness Of devotion as the people Of this
green isle. But the Celtic race is
not sufficiently differentiated from
the Latin and from the Teutonic to
make perpetual segregation possible.
For 1000 years the amalgamation of
these European races has been going
on, and the amalgamation must go on
until In a complete mingling of the
various strains will arise one con-
slomerate people of various strains
Of the highest type of humanity that
the world has ever known. The city
Of Boston is more Irish than Yankee.
and the intermingling of the blood of
men like Patrick Collins with that
of the descendants of John Alden and
Cotton Mather is just what gives us
the men of whom we are proud. The
influence OF this Celtic race. the pio-
neers of all Europe, in its mingling
with the other strains OF white blood
In the American people. is of more
value than the conservation of the
Erse sept in Connemara or Tyrone.

SKETCH OF CAPT. AMunDsEN
Arctic Exploration Has Been the
Dream Of His Life Since Early
Manhood

Roald Amundsen, now about 40
years old, has proved himself one OF
the most competent explorers. Be-
sides reaching the south pole he is
the first and only man to accomplish
the long attempted feat of taking a
ship from the Atlantic to the Pacific
by the northwest passage. He has
made at a point within short cis-
tance of the magnetic pole the only
set of complete polar magnetic obser-
yations ever taken.
Amundsen was born at Sarpsburg,
Norway. and in his childhood moved
with his parents to Christiania. His
parents destined him for medicine.
For one year he was medical stu
dent. but at his mothers death, when
he was 10 years old. he gave up the
intended career and went to sea. For
number of years he cruised in the
north as a whaler and sealer on Nor
wegian vessels.
Amundsen had his first taste of
exploration when in 1897 he went as
first officer with the Belgica on Ger
lach's Belgian polar expedition. From
what he learned of the work and ad-
venture of exploring on this trip and
from the second Norwegian polar ex-
pedition of 1898, he became filled with
arctic ambitions of his own. He
formed the project not Of attaining the
geographic pole sought by SO many,
but of trying the long-neglected north.
west passage and approaching and
studying while on his way the little
known magnetic pole.
1t took Amundsen several years to
prepare himself for his trip. For two
years he studied, first in Hamburg
under Neumayer, authority on magnet
ism; in Berlin under Schmidt, and
finally at Wilhelmshafen under Bor-
gen in the meteorological station. His
mental preparation over. he spent two
years more in raising funds and outfit
ting his expedition.
The Amundsen magnetic expedition
was perhaps the most modestly ap-
pointed that ever went for purposes OF
discovery into the arduous field OF the
arctic. Its cost was 100000. large
part of this Amundsen's own money.
Frithjof Nansen. the Norwegian polar
explorer. a close friend and faithful
helper Of Amundsen, helped raise an
other large part. Amundsen was fin
ally able to put off from Christiania in
the little Alton sloop OF Gjoa on June
II. 1908.
