THE HURON- EXPOS
Useful Hints for Ocean' Travel.
About twenty years ago a party of
New Yorkers were going abroad, and
for sixmonths previous to their depart
tare preparations for the journey,Iwere is
progress. Some friends came fifty miles
to see them off. A certain sense of
exile weighed upon ;those leaving, and
left. England seemed a far-off country,
and Italy the land of fairy tale and ro-
mance. Lettte�rs were watched for with
feverish impatience, details of the jour-
ney read by a large 'cirtlle, and the .re-
turn looked for almost as if the voyagers
bad been to the poles. Not long ago
one of the same party decided one spring
- evening to Ito to Europe. . A few days.
later her passage was engaged. The
topic *as calmly discussed uow and then
in the weeks which intervened. Oe
summer morning she sailed away with
some friends, and about three months
later returned, having been missed sore-
ly enough, but by . no means the cause
of wakeful nights or anxious mornings.
A fbw months later an intimate friend
said to her
"By -the -way,, where did you spend
the summer ?"
"Oh," rejoined the lady, casually, "in
Germany."
"Oh, were you abroad this year ?" re-
marked her visitor.
This illustrates the change which 20
years have made in the habits of Ameri-
cans, and yet, common as sea voyages
are, few people going for the first time
know enough of their friends' experience
to understand the necessities of the jour-
ney.
To begin with an all-important ques-
tion, your passage should 'be taken as
long in advance as possible. On the
principal lines the good -staterooms- are
all secured weeks or even months ahead,
andexperience proves that :one's berth
is a very considerable part of one's com-
fort or misery. If there are upper and
lower rooms, the former should always
be selected, and the vis}pity of the
screw be shunned. Amid -ships is the
choice part for a state -room. The prices
are nearly always alike, so that the
choice need not be governed by economy.
4On the second-class lines accommoda-
tions are, of course, inferior to -those on
the first-class vessels, and if passage be
taken on any such, it is well to start
provided with certain eatables—lemons,
crackers, and any canned fruits or deli-
cacies. On the principal lines, however,
nothing of the kind is ever wanting, and
liquors are generally much cheaper than
you can buy them in America. A
medicine box is always useful. The
seats at table are likewise to be pre-
arranged from the head steward, to
whom it is welt to go as soon as you are
on board, and request him _ to select for
you a good seat, for which you give him
a fee of from ten shillings (English) to
one pound ($2 50 or $5). . The question
of feeing is an important one, for the
stewards expect fees as their perquisite,
and, certainly the incessant attention
paid to the comfort -.of passengers on
first-class lines demands such trifling re-
turn. It is well on going on board to
make some arrangement with a' special
steward and stewardess, desiring their
attendance and signifying your intention
oto requite them at the end of the jour-
ney. ' This insures you every comfort.
Meals are brought to you where and
when you like, and, speaking from ex- ,
perience of a first-class line, no atten-
tion or care is wanting. The head
steward may be feed on going on board,
though this is not absolutely necessary.
Fees range from five shillings to one
pound, judge- est and the demands one's
illness have made of course regulating
them ; but nothing is so "fatal to the
comfort of travellers at sea or abroad as
penuriousness toward officials, and we
have known of instances : where
much larger sums were involved there-
by than enormous fees would have
amounted to.
The question of sea -sickness is almost
too complicated to make rules possible,
but there are certain precautions which,
if taken in time, are nearly always favor-
able to the traveller. ` It is important
to have the system in good condition at
the outset, to secure which it is advisable
to take some gentle purgative a few days
before sailing. Be careful of your diet.
Oatmeal porridge is an excellent dish at
sea, and, indeed, every farinaceous food.
Champagne is a specific for some, brandy
and water for others, while many pre-
vent sea-sicknesslby aglass of porter on
retiring. An old Scotch steward told us of
what has proved'e,n admirable remedy for
all to whom we have recommended it. Take
occasionally, when the stomach feels ex-
hausted, a small dose of Brown's ginger -
in a little boiling hot or ice-cold water.
To this acid a tea -spoonful of brandy, if
it agrees with you, but to some at sea
alcoholic liquors are among the "im-.
possibles." The matter of dress, so near
the hart of American feminines, is real-
ly one of the most important at sea, and
from observation and experience, we of-
fer the following suggestions. Nothing
can so reduce the human mind to despair
as the necessity for an elaborate toilette
in a state -room, where one's 'nine -inch
mirro sways fitfully, one's` hand, as it
feeblet clutches a h`air-pin, waves around
one's head in an uncertain manner, end-
ing by going in anywhere, anyhow, so
that one's hair is "put up" and the deck
reached. - Nothing can exceed for com-
fort or cleanliness a dress of clark blue
flannel or water -proof cloth. Make this -
up very simply, clearing the'ground, with
trimming of Hercules braid ; flounces
catch the wind, and are in the way. The
basque-waist should not be perfectly
tight -fitting, though nearly so. An out-
side sacque of the same is - comfortable, '
since a shawl is not always manageable.
This costume, with linen collars .and
cuffs, is always neat and "lady -like. If
you like, a different dress may be re-
served to land in. - For head gear, a -
hood of flannel, which can be made up
prettily but simply, is the most conven-
ient. A pair of worsted shoes and a
pair of thick boots are wanted, the for-
mer to wear when the latter would try
the spirit and the flesh to button or tie .
An all important article is a nice flannel
wrapper, in which, with some outside
wrap, it is quite convenable to lie on
deck in your own chair, and which will
be your greatest comfort while the du-
ties of the toilette are most severe. It
is absolutely necessary to go on ship-
board provided with warm clothing and
wraps, a heavy shawl, a -carriage blanket, 1
a second lighter shawl, and= a rubber 1
water -proof and light umbrella being
really needed for comfort.
Many Americans landing at foreign
sea -ports think it necessary to go to the
largest hotels to insure comfort for the
one or .two nights _ they take, or ougl$ to
take, for rest after the voyage. But this
is a great mistake, especially in Great
'Britain. In Liverpool, as well as other
ports, there are excellent small hotels,

pilation a pleatiant amusement. The lives
of valuable animals may be saved b - ref-

Ages of the ' eigning 'iovere gns
The Tall Mc ll Gazette, referring t: the
fact of the Que!-n having, on May 4th,
completed her "8th year, says : "It may
interest some .f Her ;Majesty's loyal sub-
jects to be r eminded that and 12
others of the resigning sovereigns of hris-
tendom (out-of38 in all) have attain -d to

bor and his 60 :h year at the "same time.

The Elk as a Roadster.
The horse and ' mule ' have heretofore
been the only animal' used to any extent
on the,road,either for moving heavy loads
or for carriage animals : . In some coun-
tries the ox is used very extensively on
farms for heavy work, w, here speed is not
required, while in others thie camel and
elephant are made to do the transporta-
tion of goods, and answer f r beasts of
burden generally. ; In many! of the coun-
tries of the arctic regions the reindeer
answers a good purpose as a oadster. It
does not follow, however, because we
have not heretofore brough other ani-
mals intothe harness and made them
useful as beasts of buren, oras roadsters
to convey, us from place to plane, that
there are none others adapted to these
ptirposes. We often live very near to im-
portant facts for a long time, entirely un-
aware that such facts exist, and yet.some
accident or incident often reveals these
to us in such a manner that we are struck
with wonder thanwe had not discovered
them before. Thus it may be that one of
the animals capable of being domesti-
cated and rendered m st useful to man
has been by him entirely ovrooked and
neglected. Most of the ear y settlers in
the Western States, and p rticularly in
California, can remember t e day 'when
it was a common thing to ee herds of
from 100 to 1,000 elk rot ng over the
plains, and they will remember also that
when they were pursued rapt ly by horse-
men or otherwise; the whop herd would
move off on a' trot at a4 spee that wquld
do credit to an unbroken exter or a
Goldsmith Maid. If told t at these elk
are capable of beingrendred next in
usefulness to the horse in the carriage or
under the saddle, ;and that they are like-
ly to divide with bur fast trotters the in-
terest and sports of the turf, our only
emotion would be • that of wonder that
we had not ourselves made ti
the discovery
of this fact, and had the honor of mak-
ing tion to the
ins so important a contriteconvenience andcomfort omankind.—

Sagacity of Colorado Turtles.
A. gentleman from Monotony tells a
rather interesting story about a pair of
snapping tnrtles. He is an old plains-
man and a few days ago took his shotgun
and went over to Eagle tail for the pur-
pose of getting a few ducks. Arrived at
the creek he found no ducks, but saw
two of those great fresh -water turtles met
with more frequently, in eastern ponds
than in Colorado, and: apparently weigh-
ing 40 pounds each. Thc are very
shy birds, their heads, popping into the
shell;on the slightest alarm, ]but being a •
•good'shot the hunter ,succeeded in' blind-
ing both of them, and bothering them so
that they were easily caught and drag-
ged out. Snappers are very 'active, and
unlike a sea turtle, being provided with
long and strong lege can turn them-
selves after being placed upo • their backs.
Their captor had no way of securing them
and would get only a'ifew steps away in
the search for a piece ofwood ut of
which to make stakes when his c ptives
would be going at a turtle 21:40 gait tow-
ard the creek. The contest between in-
stinct and reason was kept up more than
on hour and a half, much to the disad-
vantage of reason, at the end of which.
time a rancheman living near by came
along and assisted the hunter iu taking
the turtles to his home. Here they were
put in a sheep -pen having a fence about
three feet high, and the men went to the
house. A quarter of an hour afterward
the hunter went to the pen for his gun and
found that the turtles were gone. As
there were no holes in the fence, as they
had not dug out, the conclusion was ir-
resistible that they had climbed 'over.
Their trail was found and about half a
mile away they were, caught making a
bee line for -the creek. Firing off his gun,
the ranchemen again came to his assist-
,.ance, and the turtles were put in the pen
and tied•to a stake. They were worth
watching, however, and a few minutes
afterward it was found that they had
gnawed off the rope, and again started
for the creek. They were only a few
rods away this time, however, and were
then tied so short that they could not
reach the pond, and ultimately arrived
at their captor's kitchen at Monotony.—
