The great value of Dr. David Ken nedy1* Favorite Remedy in curing dis eases of the blood, particularly the ills of women, has again been demon­strated. Mr* W. J. Anderson, of Bruyn s t , Kingston. N. Y , in speak­ing of her experience, says: "I was an awful sufferer from troubles common to my sex, was reduced to 70 lbs; four physicians prescribed for me but I kept growing worse. Until I began the use of Dr. David Kennedy's Favor­ite Remedy I never knew a well day. By its use I grew stronger, the pain less frequents until it entirely disap­peared. I now weigh 123 lbs, and am a well woman. I must know a doten women who suffered similarly have been cured by its use,"

From the geological point of view it is also of great interest, for here may be found rocks thai range in age from

the openings of the springs on the cooling of the waters, and in this way building up a mass of great magnitude, These springs and geysers are constantly breaking out in new places, often on the borders or in the forests of living trees. The trees are killed at once by tbe hot water, and on becoming withered and dry begin soon to take up the rockmaking solution by which they are bathed, and thus to pas? into the fossil state,

Condi tiona similar to these, or at least favorable to the preservation of fossil forests, appear to have existed from a remote time, for there is evidence to show that the fossil forests were pre­served before the most active of the hot spring phenomms were inaugurated Them fossil forests are located in the iHJtbtawttrn corner of the Yellowstone National nark, e t a place known loca&y as Amethyst iispuntiin, or Fossil Forest ridge.

"1 found about eO species of birds breeding in the swamp One of them was Swainson's warbler, which is very rare. 1 trapped several species of small mice—rioe mice, field mice, golden mice and lemming mice. Tbe lemming mouse is hard to catch, because it will not take any sort of bait Tbe only way to capture it is to set a trap in its run­way. I set my traps in dry places out of water. Among other things 1 got two rare shrews.

•'There are plenty of cattle in the rwamp—«uall, dark and very wild. They are tbe progeny of animals that have strayed from domesticated herds. Hunters sulk and shoot them like deer. Bears are numerous. In the autumn they feed greedily on the fruit of the four gum. Wildcats, ope. rums and rac­coons are not scarce, while squirrels are remarkably abundant The squirrels have discovered an easy way to get a living by going along the shores of Lake Drnmmond and picking up the nuts and berries which have fallen into the water and drifted in windrows. They trot along the logs and fish them out with their paws. Deer are common, but hard to get In the fall hunters run them into the lake and catch them with dogs.

4'There is fine fishing in Lake Drum-mond, which contains plenty of perch, black bass, two kinds of pickerel, three •peetea of sunfiah and other panftah There is no dry ground in the swamp, and one sinks st every step to his knees In mud. The cane which forms brakes all through the south is abundant To­gether with a varied undergrowth, it is tangled with vines that run up into the trees, so that half a mile an hour is a food rate of progress. One must carry a knife to cut the vines, walking being further impeded by thecal brier, whose thorns catch hi the clothing and hold on like hooks. v

They are oomposed of various material* and were probably erected for different purposes, but all bear witness to tbe ex­istence here in prehistoric nines of a people who have now utterly vanished from the face of the earth

This mound building people lived probably, in Mr. Brower's opinion*, where our people uow have their homes at least 1,200 yeur* ago. They discov­ered and opened the various portagtis between the great lake* in the Missis­sippi basin. They were of a rdc* MU-perior to any of the savage tribes that

! succeeded them. The ho*t of relics picked up here and there through the region, together with the contents of mounds that have been explored, gives us what knowledge we have of them. They resided mostly upon lake shores, in villages and lived upon game and

They used vessels of pottery, stone implements, the bow and arrow and implements of copper. Tbey were of full stature, and the formation of the skulls that Mr. Brower's party exhumed and examined indicates a high degree of intelligence.

The existence of mound* of smaller construct ion—effigy mounds and sites for warship or for burial—over a wide portion of the Mississippi valley sug­gests the general distribution at some prehistoric day of this race of people, of whose other work we know so little, and whose origin and fate are wrapped in common mystery.—St Paul Globe.
