Stcele, of London, Eug. , has ben for a long time making an exploration of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, tells the Philadelphia Times of his experiences in the following manner : | "We raocoetled, " said Mr. Bryant, "in finding a new pass over the Cen- tral Divide, which is jtut south of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, by way of Healley Creek aud Simpson Pass. We reached our objective point Monnt Aasiuihoine in throe days and a half. Tho only travelers who ever entered thii region before us had taken seven days in making the jour- ney. They were six white men. We therefore felt fhat we had accomplish- ed something in finding a much short- er route to this famous mountain. IU height ? 1 1 is 1 1 . 876 feet high. ' ' Asked whether or not he had Buffer- ed much from the cold when in the camp and during tbe trip immediately afterward, Mr. Hryaut smiled and laid that he had uiiulu two previous journeys to the Artie, region in com- pany with Lieut. Peary, and he sup- posed that becanso of his cold blood experience during those trips the tem- perature in th. Canadian Rockies did not disconcert him much. "When did yon atttempt to make the ascent of Mount AHsiniboine?" "We had hoped that we would be able to make the first ascent of the mountain without hesitation; but a single glance at the smooth pyradimal stuiiuut of this great peak, which i* the Matterhorn of the Canadian Rock- ies, convinced u* that an ascent from oar side of the mountain was out ef the question. In company with Mr. Steels, the experiment Alpinist, I did, however, succeed in making a partial ascent. We reached the northwest ridge of the mountain at a height of 10, 000 feet." "Were you the iir-t explorers who ever reached that point?" "We were th* tir-t hnman beings who ever obtained from that point the grand view of a wi Mi-mess of snow- clad peak* to the fonth. That region ii probably the. lurt'i-st unexplored area in British Columbia." "The descent from that awful height was not a journey foil of fun, I inppoee?" "Indeed, it was very far from a merry trip. The ilesei-nt was a most exhausting work. Just as wo ?<ad be- gun to move ou our downward course ws law n furious storm iipproui-hing. It became, thereforo, our iitmotit en- deavor to reach tin- lowi-r levels be- for* it lnirM upon us. All went well for siimi- time. "I'liinlly, while on the mow slope, emitioiisly and slowly with great care cutting hiepu for our safety iu the hard snow and ire, we xuililcnly came above a projecting r.-k lmtlrc.su. At that very momi-iit my companion, Mr. Bleele, slipped. It was a inomont ef life or ileath. If we were <ln>luil eown to the rock wn would have been crashed to pieces.

He Su(Tril for Tear* From Kidney Trouble, Hick Me*(li-li mill Itheuma- tlsui Although Advanced In Life lie H.i Found* Care. From the Enterprise, Bridgewatr, N. 8. Solomon Meldrnm, Esq., of Upper Branch, Lnnenburg Co., \. 8., is a gentleman of Scotch descent, and well known throughout the county. He is an agriculturist of repute and in pro- minent in the local affairs of the Bap- tist denomination. Referring to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, he Nays: "I consider them a most wonderful and benefit-lent revelation in the realm of medicine. Previous to using these pills 8ome two vcars ago, I had MI Hir- ed for years from kidney trouble and rheumatism. Many a time I had been so bad (hat I could do nothing but endure the pain and pray for physical deliverance. My advanced age, being nearly TO years old, made a cure look nliuip.st impossible, humanly consider- ed, in a case of such long standing. But thanks to the Lord and Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, I am here to-day in excellent health with scarcely an ill feeling to remind me of pant suffer- ings. Somethiug over two years ago I read of the wonderful i-un-s attend- ing the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I thought if these testimonials are true it is pofwihle the pills may benefit even me. I bought six boxes first, used them strictly as dire<-ti><l. and with the Lord's blowing they did me much good. Rut my ailments were chronic, deep seated, and I am an old man. The euro was not com- plete, and I got twelve boxes more with all faith in the result. I only had to nse six boxes of the second lot when I found myself quite free from kidney troubles, rheumatism and all other bodily ailmentH, except the dis- ability incideutal to persons of my advanced age, and even these were in a measure relieved. I may add that for a long time before I uned the pills and when I began their use, I was the victim of the most diNtreiwiiig attacks of sick headache, the nougat ion of sea- sicknem in extreme violence being not a whit more distressing. These at- tacks came on once or twice a week. After taking tlie pilln, the attack* be- came lean frequent and less trouble- tome and finally reaped almost entire- ly. My son who lived at a distance took the remnmiug six boxes and itated to roe that they did him much good. This I do know, that he looked much fresher and appeared in better ipirits after their use. Believing a* I do that an over-ruling power suggests to mortals all the wise and beuencial thoughts and inventions which oper- ate to improvn our race, and allnv and cure our suffering, I nay again that I thank the Lord and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for my prolonged life and present good health. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by go- ing to the root of the disease. They renew and build up the blood, and strengthen tliti nerves, thus driving disease from the system.
