Upon one of his Antarctic journeys Sir Ernest Shackleton was obliged to reduce his luggage to the smallest possible quantity. Up to this point the fliblo given bv Queen Alexandra to the ship's library (provided by the British and Foreign Sailors' Society) had been carried with the party, but it was decided with reluctance that this must now be abandoned. As the Bible contained on its fly leaf a message written by Queen Alexandra the leaf was cut out, together with the page containing the 23rd Psalm, and, the chanter in the Book of Job which speaks of the sea being frozen. These pagr wero carried to the end of the journey. Sir Ernest has promised to present them to the society to be sold on. behalf of its funds.
Cabin and cot and mansion fair, Hut, house, and wigwam everywhere: Good times in each I've opent, Wherever T go I'd have you know My friend goes too on tour; In cabin and oot, rain, hail, or snow, I take Woods' Great Peppermint Cure. —Advt.
