So he turned down towards the sea,

What will appear very interesting to

Compound Syrup Sarsaporilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
Dake in teaspoonful doses after each

A well-known druggist here at home,
when asked regarding this prescrip.
ton. stated that the ingredients ore a!I
rainless, and can be obtained at a small
cost from any geieed Areae ription phnr

that while this prescription is often

If that were the height of lite voyagers
ambition. It is probably only one of the
id osyncrasies that belong to women on
step -board, where. perhaps better than
in most other places, these come to
hghl.
As is usual lire world over, brass
buttons prove as attractive on ocean
sic imiships es at an army post or on
the policeman's beat. From Bridget
in the kitchen to a lady of the haul
monde, the natty suit of blue with the
sheen of well -burnished metal plays
havoc with the feminine contingent.
So one of the types to he found ms

of human nature who finds the promen-

conclude that they regard such gallan-

Among other femintne bailees noted
by lite observing ocean voyager is the
tendency to indiscreet chatter. If there
Is one place more than another where
walls have ears 11 is on board ship.
Even in the kind of summer collage
where partitions extend but three-
fourths of the way to the ceiling it is
nc easier to learn the most intimate
details concerning your nest -door neigh-
Ix.rs. "ill you suppose," queried an
inquisitive lady to a stewardess as she

tater I'll give you the name of the
place in New fork where 1 have it

I've noticed."
11u1 lessons like This have little or
no effect upon the careless. Two wo-
men in their steamer chairs were
warned by a third that they were di-
rectly undernrntlt the windows of e
stateroom, and that what they slid

is an important mailer, perhaps more
important than the purity of water --
should have been laid by hens which
have not been running with n mak bird,
although we do not say IMO this is ab-
solutely essential. It is, however, an
additional guarantee as to success. Fer-
tile eggs are. when keeping, influenced
by tentpera1..re. The germs having once
steeled into life, may. owing 1., a fall of
li mperalure, die, and be behoved by de-
composition; and although this decom-
position may he insipient and confined
to a small area, it nevertheless, affects
Ilse entire egg. The eggs. loo, should

will be air -space, and the presence or
air within the egg confined in the water -
glass solution is deleterious to its keep-
ingt properties.
'the eggs having been colle^_led-and
we confess it difficult to collect a large
number of perfectly fresh eggs where
only a small number of hen, are kept -
al' being perfectly clean, are placed in
the: necessary vessels, subsequently
covered with the mixe,re, which has

served in silicate of endo, but in tae

records -and there have been ninny
tests in this and other countries -the
itevor is pronounced excellent, or no
fault, whatever is found with it.
Apart from the water -glass. the best
process to be recommended is the lime
process. Here. Ill.' purest lime obtain -

complete, the lime -water Is poured onto
the eggs, but if the water in which the
lime is still in suspension through stir-

poured onto the eggs directly the vessel
is at rest. the precipitate begins to (oral
til the bottom of the vessel, and the eggs
become bedded in a mass of lime. from
which they can only Ile attracted in a

reenmmended that, inasmuch as the in-
fluence of the hue held in the water is
diminished by the atmosphere, that the
surface of the lime -water should be
severed with a layer of olive oil. We are

II would be difficult to find a more
charming 01. novel retreat than that ;it
which Princess Marie, wife of the Crown
Prince of Roumania, spent the greater
earl of last summer. It is a veritable
ne sl -house, or miniature collage. built
high up among the brunches of lower-
ed, lir trees in the neighborhood of Si-
nnia. This delightful holiday home
comprises two ro)ms and a kitchen,
which are furnished in simple yet ele-
gant taste. Access is obtained by means
of a small staircase, and the Princess
is said to he immensely proud of her
tiny aerial abode. It was built speci-
itil•• for her by lire King of Roumania,
anti presented by hint to her.
At:other well-known Boy/Illy has gone
to the opposite extreme for a summer
retreat. I'he King of Siam, who is one
(•f the richest of monarchs, will' an in-
come of something like $20,00),000 per
arrnuni, has literally sunk a large suns
of money In a novel holiday resort.
This is nothing more or less than a
large glass pavilion, in %Odell, during
!lie summer months, he submerges him-
eelf in the large hike which the Royal
ornamental gardens boast. 'these cover
an area of more than twenty-five acres;
and as they are surrounded by n wall
fully twelve feel high, Itis Majesty can
always enjoy perfect immunity fron) the
s'utgnr gaze.
