I-Iithenfo all attempts to solve the. mysteries of the unkn0wn land in, the immediate neighborhood of the South Pole have ended in failure, but the lat- est explorer to make the attemptâ€"Mr. [-2. II. Shackleton, who was third lieu- tenant on the Discovery, and who, with two others, can boast of hoving travel‘ lcd farther south than any other liv- lng manâ€"is hopeful that he will at last reach the coveted goal. “There will be, several novelties about. my coming expedition on the Nimrod," ac .told a writer in London Tit-Bits, “and, profiting by past experience, I am confident that, even if we do not i actually reach the South Pole, we shall, at any rate, attain the highest south- ern latitude. For the first time in the history of expeditions of this kind a motor-car will be taken, made of steel, srecially adapted to withstand the ex- treme cold we shall encounter. It will, by the by, .be driven by a spirit which has been tested to work in very low temperatures, and it is also provided with wheels of three different. sorts ‘or use on surfaces VABYING IN I-IARDNESS. “For the first time, too, Siberian ponies will be taken to the Antarctic and although this is also in the nature of an experiment, yet from the hardi- ness and strength they must have 'de- ,veloped in Siberia’s frozen plains I "have every hope that they will prove pf great assistance; but should they prove unsuitable we shall, at. any rate, always have the dogs to fall back up- on. , “The reason why the dogs were com- parative failures on the Discovery Ex- :pedition was, I feel sure, largely due ,to the fact that their food deteriorated .when we were passing through the Tropics. This, however, will be care- Ifully guarded against in my coming ex- ,pedition, and altogether our party, which will probably number about twenty-eight to thirty members, are confident of success. . “During the four months of darkness ,v'hich we shall encounter we shall, of course, live in huts, devoting our time to scientific studies, which will absorb A LABGEL‘SHARE or ATTENTION; ,wliile three of the members of the party ‘â€"~â€"t-l1e inagnelician, the biologist, and lthe geologistâ€"will devote themselves fientirely to special researches within a radius of about a hundred miles of the [quarters We shall establish ourselves ill star the winter. Although the Nimrod starts almost immediately, I shall not join it finally until about the middle of October in New Zealand, as past voy- ages show. that the later the start the more favorable are its conditions, ow- ing to the fact that the pack ice is dis- persed by the end of January. “When do we hope to return? Well,’ intrepid explorer, with a smile, “that largely depends on circumâ€" stances, as can be readily understood, for in the attempt to discover the South Pole one must at. all times be prepared for severe disappointments. However, all being well, it is hoped that the Nim‘ rod will turn her head homewards about the end of January, 1009. Against l l ' any possible chance of failure we shall, In any case, take out with us sufficient- food to last for fully two years; while the expedition will also be. PROVIDED WITH A LIFE-BOAT, furnished with a motor engine and cap- able. of carrying sufficient provisions to keep a party of twelve ‘going’ for from ten to eleven weeks. “On the way home, if things ‘pan out’ as we hope, we shall pursue an iii- and-out couse, taking soundings here and there, because thereby we hope to discover whether the many patches of land which have been sighted really do form port of the great, mysterious Ant- arctic Continent. We shall. go west as far as the season permits, afterwards coming home by way of the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Continents. But,” and there was a twinkle in the explor- er’s eye. “January, 1000, is a long way off, and no doubt before that date we shall have encountered some very stir- ring experiences indeed.” .3...- BABY’S DANGER. , More little lives are lost. during the hot weather months than at any other time. of the year. In the summer months little ones are the victims of diarrhoea, cholera infantum, dyscntry and stomach troubles. These come sud- denly and without warning. and when a medicine is not. at. hand to give promptly the short delay may mean death. During the hot weather months Baby’s Own Tablets should be kept inl every ,llGlllC where there is a young child. An occasional use of the Tab- lets will prevent stomach and bowel troubles. Or if the troubles come uu- awares a prompt use of this medicine wil bring the child through safely. Mrs. J. llrnard. New Glasgow: (3110.. says: “I cannot speak loo highly (f Baby‘s. Own 'l‘alvlels.

Simser, Grant, Ontario, Can.. writes: “I had not been well for about four years. I had kidney trouble, and, in tact, felt badly nearly all the time. “This summer I got so very bad I thought I would. try Pertina, so I wrote to you and began at once to take Pcruua and Manalin. “I took only two bottles of Pcruna and one. of Manalin, and now I feel better. than I have for some time. “I feel that Peruna and Manalin cured me and made a different. woman of mo altogether. I bless the day I picked up the little book and read of your Peruna." It his the business of the kidneys to remove from the blood all poisonous matcrihls'. They must be active all the time, else the system suffers. There are times when they need a little assistance. Pcruna is exactly this sort of a remâ€" edy. It has saved many people from disaster by rendering the kidneys ser- vice at a time when they were not able to bear their own burdens. .1.__...._. BRITISH VIEW OF WEST 'ltFMARKABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRAIRIE I’ROVINCES. ’l'owring British Journalists Speak at the Possibilities of the “Test. Some of the British journalists who recently visited Canada express aston- ishment at the rapid progress of the prairie provinces and their letters to their journals contain a vast amount of information. Win. Redwood of TM Western Daily Pres-s, Bristol, thus speaks of the} possibilities of the west Five years ago, this territory, mea- suring 1,000 miles in length and from 300 to 900 miles in breadth, had a po- tptzlalion of 460,860, and a grain crop of 43,230,000 bushels. Last year the population was nearly 1,000,000, and the cereal harvest gave a return of 200,000,- ‘uOu bushels, of which nearly one-half represented wheat. This crop was grown on an acreage less than Ii per cent. of the net area of land available fox arable cultivation, and in the northâ€" west, estimated at 200,0000,030 acres. To. day some 35,000,000 acres are held for actual settlers, and 35,000,000 by rail- way eouipanies, land companies and private. speculators, leaving still 125,-. (00,000 acres of the public domain un- aiienaled, and» available under liberal conditions FOR NEW COMERS. Upwards of 11,000 miles of railway lie in this region, and an additional 4,000 to 5,000 miles are now let for construc- tion. Settlement for some years has been in advance of railway construc- tion, with the result that as the railways are built into new districts traflic is foun'l waiting on a scale that renders the line a paying investment from the out-set. The existing lines have done their best. to cope with increasing traf- fies, but the difficulty has been to get rolling stock delivered with sullici-ent rapidin to keep pace with the demand. According to the last quinquennial cen- sus (1060) of the three prairie provinces of the Dominion, the population is given In Manitoba the. sterner sex are in a majority of 45,- 000, or 25 per cent. Saskatchewan [58.00001' per cent; and in Alberta I33,000, or 30 per cent. There are 120.- 430 farms in the three prairie provinc- es, as compared with 5t,6»t-5 in 100i, an increase of 65,814 holdings. Manitoba, the smaller of the three provinces, has a total of Bit-ti. Saskatchewan 54,787, and Alberta 30.2”. farms. Ninety per cent. of the settlement during the last live years has-taken place in the two latter provinces. The live stock figs nres for the whole region for 1000. com- pared with 21901, are: IIorscs 683,010, jagaiusl 3110.320; milch cows 348.000. tagainsl 24"».210; other horned cattle ‘1560592. against caste? in littll.

In Alberta the 1906 cen- sus gives 101,250 milch cows and 850,000 :{Jiher cattle, as compared with 46,960 'milch cows and 320,390 other cattle in 1901. These figures are evidence of the [possibility of a dairying industry as well. From the first the Canadian gov- ernment fostered this industry in the west. by establishing creamcries ‘or bul- ter factories. in the newer settlements, and taking upon itself the risk of mak- ing butter and creating a market. The farmers now run these creameries on During 1906 over 3,000,000 pounds of butter were turned out by_ these creameries in Alberta, .against loss than 400,000 pounds in 1902. The average price obtained at the creameries was 10%d. It is confident- l-I believed that this industry has a splendid future. .m.___. CHARACTER.

In Spain the railroads do not lose a chance to make a. little profit, even Ill the case of the nonâ€"travellers. When yeu see somebody off in that country you must pay for the privilege. ' The railroads all sell billetes do an- .cien, which are good for the platform only. These cost generally five den. limos. equivalent to a cent in our money. Just why this is done it is hard to src, because persons entering a train cannot very well avoid the conductor, who is always making trips to inspect. the carriages. If a person attempted to steal a ride in a carriage he would have small chance of getting away with it. It caught he would have to pay a penalty of just twice the fare between the point where he was .115. cuvet'ed and the point where tickets last were inspected. IN A FOG. Even Blind Man Lose Their “’ayâ€"The Ground “Sounds Different.” Nothing has such a bewildering ef- fect. as fog. Only animals find their way by seent can get about in it with any certainty, says Chums. Birds are entirely confused by it. Tame pigeons remain .all day motionâ€" less and half asleep, huddled up, either in or just outside their houses. Chickens remain motionless for hours during heavy fogs. No bird sings or utters a call, perhaps because it fears to betray its whereabouts to an unseen fee During one very thick fog a blind ntan was found wandering about a cer- tain district of London. This man was in the habit of coming up every day from a suburb, carry- ing, notes and parcels, and had scarce- ly ever lost his way before. Asked why he had gone astray, '.for he was quite blind, and it was supposed that wea- ther would have made no difference, he said that in a fog the ground “sound- ed quite differently.” ufl~uâ€"â€".-â€" Tested by Timeâ€"In his justly-cele- brated Pills Dr. Parmelee has given to the. world one of the most unique medi- cines offered to the public in late years.
