The Huron Expositor, 1877-07-13, Page 6c. 6 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, where one is mo ter served than the prices are whereas the cha elegant establis exorbitant. 7 England is by mended 'either f e comfortable and ' bet- t the larger_hokses, and. extremely moderate ; ges made at the more ments are fqequently 'fact, hotel living in o means to bp re ij Om. r comfort or ecpno y. .` Buttered Eg Break three e add a tablespoo of fresh butter, a little pepper. moderate fire, spoon, being ca cle in motion ready a crisp p eggs upon it,' This mode of •d the white and ly mixed.

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.— Sacramento Resor']- Union. 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.— Denver Times.
