MANY A LIFE'
HAS been saved by the prompt use of
Ayer's Pills. Travelers by land or
sea are liable to constipation or other
derangements of the stomach and bowels
which, if neglected, lead to serioull and
often fatal consequences. The most sure
means of correcting these evils is the use
of Ayer's Cathartic Pills. The pru-
dent sailing -master would as soon go to
sea without his chronometer as without
a supply of these Pills. Though prompt
and energetic in operation, Ayer's Pills
leave no ill effects ; they are purely
vegetable and sugar-coated ; the safest
medioine for old and young, at home or
abroad.
"For eight years I was afflicted with
constipation, which at last became so
bad that the doctors could do no more
for me. Then I began to take Ayer's
Pills, and soon the bowels recovered
their natural and regular action, so that
now I am in
Excellent
health." --Mrs. C. E. Clark, Tewksbury,
Massachusetts.
"I regard Ayer's Pills as one of the
most reliable general remedies of our
times. They have been in use in my
family for affections requiring a purge,'
tive, and have given unvarying satisfac-
tion. We have found them an excellent
remedy for colds and light fevers."—
W. R. Woodson, Fort Worth, Texas.
" For several years I have relied more
upon Ayer's Pills than upon anything
else in the medicine chest, to regulate
my bowels and those of the ship's crew.
These Pills are not severe in their ac-
tion, but do their work thoroughly. I
have used them with good effect for
the cure of rheumatism, kidney trou-
bles, and dyspepsia." —Capt. Mueller,
Steamship Felicia, New York City.
" I have found Ayer's Cathartic Pills
to be a better family medicine for com-
mon use than any other pills within my
knowledge. They are not only very
effective but safe and pleasant to take
--qualities which must make them
valued by the public."— Jules Reuel,

Canadians have been much criticised
Foran excessive use of icewater. Myst.
clans continually cry out against it, and
attribute a large percentage of the sickt
nese incident to the summer season to
this deplorable habit. It is within the
province of the Canadian housewife to
do much toward correcting this order of
things, by substituting attractive beveri
ages which satisfy the thirst more read,.
ily, and consequently do not offer the
same temptation to overindulgence.
Fruit cordials, shrubs, and vinega!i
are' among the most refreshing simple
rummer drinks, and possess the merit
of being prepared at a moment's
notice when the sirup has once been
made. One of the finest of
these is the shrub made from the black-
cap raspberry. Connoisseurs consider
the flavor much finer than that of the
ordinary raspberry vinegar, which is
made with red raspberries.
BLACK CAP SHRUB—Cover six quarts
of the berries with good cider vinegar
and let them stand for twenty-four hours.
Strain through a colander upon six
quarts of fresh berries. Allow them to
stand twenty-four hours longer, thea
strain through a coarse, strong muslin
bag. Measure the liquid and allow a pint
of sugar to each pint of juice. Boil for
ten minutes, skimming off any impuriti.
es which may rise to the top, the n bottle
and seal. In preparing a pitcherful of
the shrub allow one-fourth sirup to three-
fourths iced water. The color of this
ehrub is somewhat deeper than that
made from red berries. As it is not al-
ways possible to procure the black caps
a recipe for the red raspberry vinegar is
given also.
RASPBERRY VINEGAR—Allow a pint of
vinegar to every two quarts of berries,
Let thentstand 'two days, then mash
and strain through -a bad Allow one
pound of sugar, either granulated or loaf,

utas and when partly cooled bottle and
seal. Two or three tablespoonsiul will
be required to each glass of water.
Ginger ale is a beverage in great fai-..r
with -our English cousins; and the f ollow-
ing is a recipe most highly recommended.
GINGER ALE.—One gallon of boiling
water, one and one-half ounces of ginger,
one ounce of cream of tartar, one pound
of light -brown sugar, two lemons, one
cupful of good yeast. Roll the lemons
and slice them thin, removing seeds,
Pour the boiling water' upon the ginger,
cream of tartar, sugar, and lemons, and
let thein cook together fifteen minutes,
Set aside till almost cold, theta add the
yeast. Let it ferment for twenty-four
hours, then strain and bottle, It is im•
proved by standing several weeks before
using. A few hours before the ale is
wanted set the bottles on ive. This is a
delightfully refreshing drink.
English nectar is another delicious
drink for those who do not object to the
wine. Use three lemons rolled and
sliced thin, the juice of three oranges,
one pint of cold water, and sugar enough
to make quite sweet. Cut a dozen fine
strawberries in halves and drop them
into a tumbler of sherry. Add a pint of
crushed ice to the lemon, and sugar, and
last add the sherry in which the straw-
berries have soaked. Stir welf and add
more sugar if needed.
Within a few year syphons of soda
water have been placed in market
for home use. The syphon is kept in
the ice -box and with the addition of
delicious home-made fruit sirups a

peaches, and pine -apples all make ex-
ceaent fruit sirup for this purpose.
Ever: housewife imagines she know?
how tc make lemonade, but the feeble
insipid concoction so often offered is a
convincing argument to the contrary.
Good lemonade requires plenty of lemons
and sugar, and is improved by the addl.
tion of other fruits. A good rule
calls for three lemons to one orange,
one scant cupful of sugar, and one-third
of a cupful of strawberry juice; add a
pint of pounded ice, stir well, then add a
quart of iced water. The fruit sirups re
ferred to will be found a great addition
to plain lemonade. Raspberry, cherry,
and strawberry are the most desirable.
Half -frozen sherbet is popular at din.

from dainty glasses with a spoon. The
following rule is an excellent one: Sher-

and legs should be smooth and in perfect har-
mony.
Oue grave fault, of not only amateurs, but
some professionals as well, ie that of waiting
too long at the end of the stroke. As soon
as one stroke is finished the sculler should be
on his way eliding forward ready to catch
the next stroke. Let it be understood that a
boat never travels so fast with the oars out of
water as when they are in the water, and,
this being true, one cannot get his oars into
the water too quickly, providing that it is
done in harmony of action. The sliding
should be done easily, the souller lifting his
weight ori the seat as much as possible, doing
so because that has the effect of keeping the
drifted away from er y subject. Well, gen shell lightly on the water and not burying

"And what is that," they cried eagerly.
"To row fast," and Pompey calmly walked
off.
How often is it we see, gathered about the
noted scullers of the day who .have broken
records in their time, groups of novices in
rowing who are eager to pick up points in
training, rig or rowing. And how seldom
does one see a noted sculler giving these
"points." Like Ross, they adopt the policy
of keeping amature aspirants in utter ignor-
ance of their knowledge of rowing,. and in-
stead of freely and voluntarily imparting
their information, they strive to keep inquir-
ers in the dark, so that they may shine the
more brilliant. When innee •,ts try to
"pump" information the prise,. •. ,nal is very
apt to return the question "Hoe fur is it to

During my career I have adopte 1 just the
opposite tack, and, without wishing to appear every man he may happen to meet on the river
egotistical, I may claim that it is because I am
willing to teach those who have come under
my instruction all that I know that I have
been so successful in catching western and
other boat clubs. I look upon amateur row-
ing as about the cleanest of popular sports to
day, and I am anxious to advance the past
time, if that fully expresses it, as much as
possible.
For the benefit of the uninitiated a few "tips"
Not Sp Reticent and Answers.
The following willl,. be read with interest by
those fond of rowing exercise, and now' that
the season is about to open, it will be worth
while to study theupointers.
"What is the beat way to row4" inquired
one ambitious amateur.
The questioner and his confrere opened
wide their ears to hear the answer of Wal-
lace Ross, to whom it had been addressed.
They expected to be given points on rowing
that would be of inestimable venue to them.
Roel, in his easy, inimitable way started
off coolly to give a graphic description of a
gentleman's estate in England, which be had
seen during one of his periodical trips abroad.
The amateurs listened uneasily, patiently
waiting for Ross to drop words of wisdom,
and tell them all he knew about rowing.
"But tell us how to row," cried one man
who could wait no longer.
"Oh, that's so," rephed Ross. "I've rather
The man should slide up with a moderate
reach and make a finishas straight as possible
without being too rigid. The slide, by the
way, should be regulated for each man. For
instance, a man six feet inlreight should have
a slide at least 10 inches from the face of the
rowlock to the stretcher, in order that be
may get !.lie greatest leverage and the most
power and benefit out of the stroke. A short-
er man, should, of course, have a shorter
stretch. A little experience will teach a man
what length of stretcher he requires in order
to do the best work.
I will now speak of some other faults which
the beginner is likely to fall into, and which
should be guarded against.
At least two weeks must be spent in learn-
ing to row, and I must reiterate my advice
that he have a competent coach to start him
off well. He must not try and speed with
after he has got the swing of things, for by
doing so, he is apt to get excited, become
careless, and drop into a bad form.
Like everything else that one learns, he
should go slow and sure, and he will be
better off in the end. A child creeps before it
walks, and so with the would-be sculler. About
20 strokes per minute is quite enough for
a beginner learning to row. After he
has perfected the stroke, he may iucrease the

The result is that when be gets out of the

with four oared gigs having a coxswain, this
would be quite •different. I believe that e
four oared gig is the very best boat in
which a green man can be broken in. Few
clubs, however, are thus provided, and so the
beginner is shoved into an eight. The result
is that unless he is very carefully watched he
is likely to fall into slouchy or bad habits of
rowing, such as "skiving" his oar (by
putting it in the water slant) or getting a poor
bony form, two habits which, if once acquir-
ed are rarely corrected, or if so, at the coat of
a great deal of hard work on the sculler's part.
By the use of a four oared gig, with experi-
enced coxswain, a crew of four men could be
taught in a couple of weeks time to go into a
shell and row steadily after one or two rows.
The coxswain would be constantly on the
watch for everything that is wrung inthe
work of each man, and could correct it at
once.
On the other hand if a novice crew starts
out in a shell it will take about all their time
to prevent the boat from upsetting, while their
unskilful rowing pats a great strain on the
shell. which injures it, naturally.
Having expressed my views on the way
that a beginner should be instructed with
others in a four oared gig, I may now touch
upon some of the grave faults which a novice
is apt to make in learning to row. I think
that it is better to tell him what he must
guard against than to tell him what to do,
tti11 It is well to coach him upon both.
A novice must be given instructions from
the very beginning. He must not think that
because he can jump into a pleasure boat and
paddle around with a fair degree of success
that be can be as careless in a shell. There
is quite a knack to properly getting into a
shell.
The first thing that a green man should do
in taking his seat in a shell is to step steadily
upon the "rising," or that standing part of
the shell upon which the seat rests. The
blades of his oars all this time should rest Sat
upon the water.
Atter he is steady and secure In his seat
he may start off, allowing bis sculls to trail
along upon the water until he has got his
equilibrium. Then, grasping the oars, he
should slide forward until the armpits rest
directly user the knees, then catching thewa-
ter, he should shove out firmly from the
stretcher with his feet, pulling the oars in to-
ward the sides, at the same time getting a quick
wrist movement, so as to properly clear the
water, fireat care should be taken to put the
olade iu straight, and to pull right in
toward the stomach and not up toward the
chiu. hy doing this he will prevent' the oars
from going too deep into the water. It is a
common fault with beginners to draw the
hands up too close to the chin. This buries
the blades, which is the chief cause of up-
setting. By the way, I may say right hero
that it is good policy for the beginner to hug
the shore closely on the start, so that if he
tips nut he will have a chance to save him-
self. A Timely won
point that I might toilet upon here is To have the least trouble with a young

PICTURE FRAMING.
Sty'les.
Picture framing seems to have followed the
upward and onward movement of all present
art work, end has now attained to the dignity
of an art itself. This is as it should be, How
often paintings and engravings are ruined by
injudicious framing, every one who has taken
the trouble to investigate knows very well.
One of the first things to be cdnsidered in the
selection of a frame is the subject of the pic-
ture. For studies ofpeasant life, "The
Angelus," for instance, elaborately carved
and heavily molded framing is unsuitable,
and overpowers the picture itself. One of
the most attractive frames for a Breton peas-
ant group had roughly carved farming im-
plements on an antique oak frame; there was
no varnish nor careful smoothing of the
carver's work, and thus the frame possessed
the artistic charm that surrounds venetian
glass; where every piece comes directly from
the hand of the designer and can no more be
duplicated than a sunset or a frost landscape
on a window pane. Another, a Dutch inter-
ior, "The Burgomaster's Family," had a cur-
ious frame of pale red and blue tiles, sur-
rounded by a carved molding of time -polish-
ed and darkened`eiatic.
The fashion, borrowed from the Japanese,
of framing two or more pictures in the same
frame is growing in favor. If the harmony
of ser tion is not lost sight of this fashion is
noto bad, as one frame will be sufficient
for oYre side of a room, aud the difficulty of
hanging is partly obviated. A copy of Rosa
Bonhenr's "Horse Fair" occupied the middle
panel of an oak frame with carved horses'
heads ou the upper corners, and trout the top
of the frame depended a bridle and curb bit
in leather; the side panels contained
spirited studies of horses' heads, and carved
on the dividing molding were two riding
whips knotted together. A pleasing group
for a music -room contained four large photo-
graphs of scenes from Wagner's orients: "The
Rhine Daughters," "The Itiele of the Walk -
ere," •'Wotan's Farewell to Brunbilde,"
and "Siegfried in the -Forest" These were ir-
regularly arranged in a mat of slightly rough-
ened water -color paper which was covered
with a free-hand floriated design on which
music notes answered for flowers; diagonally
beneath or above each photograph, bars of
music containing the leading motive of the
opera were drawn. The frame for this de-
cidedly original group was of hammered sil-
ver.
Red frames are a new London fancy for
framing studies in crayon, pastel, or red chalk.
Etchings also look well in these not very wide
frames. There is also a revival of the oval
frame popular many years ago. One of Burne
Jones' charmingly ideal heads in a highly
polished oval frame of cherry wood, and a
copy of De Fregger's "Madonna" in an oval.
carved olive -wood frame showed to good ad•
