The Pony In Franz-josef Land.

At an early stage iu our journey our difficulties began. The pony broke loose the second night out, and, unfortunately, gorged herself withdried vegetables. These, together with dof? biscuits and a few pounds of oats saved frorn the previous sledging, were her ueual fodder, owing to the lack of legitímate horse food, which had quite run out more than 12 months before. As I expected, the surfeit of dried vegetables brought on a serious illness, to remedy wbich Arinitage and I clubbed together the email supply of pills which we had with us. He produced, I think, two varieties of pills, and I had a number of podophyllin ; so we made up a dose of 22 in all, which I admiuistered to our invalid pony, mixed up in sonie frozen fat from our frying pan. This, I am glad to say, bad the desired effect of at all events partly restoring her tohealth.
