Ani111a1, Tho current number of Rod gad Gun in Canada has an ar'ticl'e on the habits of the beaver is which the writer, frank II, Itisteen, tells some interesting things' about that most, interesting Of North American ani- mals, Of the cutting power of the beaver's teeth the writer says:— "The beaver is really a sort of portable pulp mill, grinding up most any kind of wood that comes itis way, I once measured a white birch tree, twenty-two inches through, cut down by a beaver. A single beaver, generally, if not always, amputates the troy, and when it comes down the whole family fall' to and have a, re- gular frolic with tate bark and branches. A big beaver will .being down a fair-sized sapling, say three inches through, in about two minutes and a, largo tree in about an hour. •"Ono of the queerest facts about the beaver is the rapidity with which his long, chisel -shaped teeth will re- cover from an injury, I have known beavers to break their teeth in bit- ing a trap, and when I caught them again ten days afterward you could- n't see a sign of the break—the tooth had grown out to their former per- fection in that short period," Mr. Itistcen's.experiouces have not given flim a very high opinion of the beaver's swimming powers. He writes: "As compared with the otter or mink the beaver is A V11W SLOW SWIMMER. TRIFLES WITD' HISTORIES K 1'ICK-KNACKS WHICH TELL OF HUMAN TRAGEDIES, Disasters of Long Ago Brought to Nina by the I'yiidlug of Relics, On January loth, 1802, work was being pushed vigorously in, tho Hart- ley Colliery in Northumberland, Eng- land. Suddenly there was 0 grind- ing crash, and one of the immense twenty -ton iron beams of the venti- lating* shaft collapsed, and' fell into the depths below,. With its huge weight it smashedthe brattlee and carried down tons upon tons of earth and rock, burying completely every soul below. Two hundred and two were buried alive, for the pit had but ono shaft. A low weeks ago the scene of this awful disaster was at last pumped dry, and the first miners who had entered it for forty years descended. There et the bottom lay a tub of coals still full to the brim, as it had been loaded on that fatal day, and perfect in every particular, except that the water in which it had stood so long had rusted its iron hoops. Nature, or man, or both, soon wipe away, or cover up, the ugly remnants left by fires, floods or ex- plosions; but now and then a little relic • comes to light which brings powerfully to MIND TIIE DETAILS His front legs' hang by his sides, and he uses only his webbed hind feet for purposes of swimming. It is easy to capture one in a canoe if you can find him in shoal water. He is• a most determined fighter, but clum- sy and easy to handle. If fro could get hold of you with his teeth ihe would .almost take a leg ori --so you want to catch him sharp. The place to grab hint is by the tail." Of the ability of .the beaver and some other wild animals and birds to remain a long time under water this writer say's: "'Tie ability of a heaver to remain under water for a. long time is really .not so tough a problem as it looks. When tic la00 or petai is frozen over a beaver will come up to the under surface of the ice and expel his breath so that it will form a wide, flat bub- ble. The air coining in contact with the ice and water is purified, and the beaver breathes it in, again. The ot- ter and muskrat do the same thing. "When the ice is thin and clear I have often seen the muskrat attached to his bubble, and by pounding o11 the ice have drivels him away from it, when be would drown in a very short time. I believe that the beaver as well as the loon, sometimes em- ploys this pneumatic suction princi- ple by breathing into the mud on. the bottom, and thus remaining under water for a remarkable length of time." That it is difficult to hold most of the shyer fur animals in captivity ip 'mown to those who have made the experiment, but the beaver evidently takes the lead in this respect in itir. Risteen's estimation, as the follow- ing will show: It almost takes a burglar-proof safe to hold anewly captured beaver. I once caught an old one and two kittens up the north branch of the Sou -West, put them in a barrel and brought them down to Miramichi Lake. That night site gnawed a holo through the barrel and cleared out, LEAVING HER KITTENS, They were so young that I had no way of feeding them, so released then in the .hope that. the mother might find them, Soon after that I caught a big math beaver.

From the Advocate, Exeter, Ont. "A 1•i111 down system!" What a world of misery those few words im- ply, and yet there are thousands throughout this country Who are suf- fering from this condition. Their blood is poor and watery; they suf- fer almost continuously from head- aches; are finable to obtain restful sleep and the least exertion greatly fatigues them. What is needed to put the system right is a tonic, and experience has proved Dr. Williams' Pints Pills to ho the only never -fail- ing tonic and health restorer, Mrs. Henry Parsons, a respected resident of Exeter,' Ont., is ono of the many who have tested and proved the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. For many months she was a great sufferer from what.is commonly termed "a run down sys- tem." To a reporter of the Advo- cate she gave the following story in the hope that other sufferers might benefit from her cxperiencel—"Por many months my health was in a bad state, lay constitution being greatly on down. I was troubled with continual headaches, my appe- Lite was poor and the least exertion greatly fatigued me. I consulted a physician but his treatment did not appear to benefit me and I gradually became worse, so that I could hardly attend to fay household duties. I then tried several advertised reme- dies but without result, and I began to regard my condition as hopeless. A neighbor called to see me 0110 day and urged ale to try Dr, Williams' Pinsk Pills. Having tried so many medicines without receiving benefit, I was not easily persuaded, but finally I consented to give the pills a trial. TO my .surprise and great joy I noticed an improvement in my condi- tion before I had finisihed the first box and by the time I had taken four boxes of the pills I was fully re- stored to health. I no longer suffer from those severe headaches, my ap- petite is good, I can go about guy household duties without the least trouble; in fact I feel like a new Wo- n1a11.

Ascent of Mount Six Donald, in the Selkirlcs, by a• Wofnan. The Matterhorn of the Solkirks, Mount Sir Donald, has at last been eseetnded by a woman, •says a letter from Glaei00, B.O. Only about a dozen melt have ouceeeded in getting to the highest point of this pyra- mid yramid of stone with its needle point piercing the sky at an elevation of 10,700 feet, although many have come ft'om all parts of the globe to attempt its ascent. There are high- er mountains, but few on this con- tinent so difficult of ascent, and yet a small woman, a bride, not more than 5 feet 2 inches high, and weigh - Mg only J(3 pounds, has succeeded where strong and experienced mous-� talne010 havo failed. Mr, and Mrs. Berens of Dent, England, are on a bridal tour round the world, Mrs. Berens learn- ed the other evening that no woman had ever climbed to the top of Sir Donald. She had never done any mountain climbing except she had ascended Mount Stephen, but only to the fossil beds, which is an easy ascent. Neither had she suitable clothing. Sho d0)1130d her husband's breeches cut as to conte a little above the knees, but, womanlike, stuck to her pink shirt waist. This shining stark enabled the interested spectators to watch through the long telescope her progress over seracs, crevasses and the most difficult kind of rock work. Accompanied by her husband and two experienced Swiss guides sta- tioned at Glacier, B.C., the pasty left at 3.10 in the morning, and after spending a little more than an hour on the extreme summit, re- turned at 5.30 amid the cheers of the spectators. Mrs. Berens was apparently nose the worse 'for the trip and appeared at dinner at usual. She was so modest concerning her achievement that she was with great difficulty induced to speak of it. She thinks there are at least 3,000 peaks and as many glaciers visible front the top of Sir Donald, She had any number of narrow escapes. Once the snow cornice upon which she was walking gave way and precipit- ated Iter, luckily, upon a huge bank of snow many feet below. She climbed perpendicular walls saturated with the waters from the melting snows and fell into a crevice al one time, from which the guides, to whom she was roped, rescued her. At another time she slipped upon the ice and was held dangling over a pretipice, and had the guides not held her would have fallen several thousand feet to the rocks below. She says she had simply determin- ed to go to the top, and she did ; but she does not advise any other bride to spend her honeymoon that way nor any other woman to make the trip.

The con - Untied jarring of the train weakens the filters of the system and various forms of Kidney Trouble result , "Every man that works in an en- gine cab or on any part of a rail- road train ought to use Dodd's Kidney Pills," said one Alan.

"Yes, sir," returned the first em- phatically, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are what they're cracked up to be, and I'll leave it to Mr, Allan," "Gentlemen," said Mr. Allan, "I firmly believe Dodd's Kidney Pills will do everything that is claimed for them. They are a genuine medi- cine. They cured me of Kidney Trouble, I know that. My urine was full of a kind of rod brick dust for years. I knew it was my . Kid- neys, but could get nothing to stop it.
