As you leave New York on one of the
Guion ,fnc Of stesners o. shis pisse, you
know that il Is an old and exploded idea
that one has to be sea sick. So you take
your dinaer ssa-saake up your mind to
have good time during the trip. 1t only
requires little will power, and sea sickness
will never trouble you. About 5 p. IN. the
winds begin to blow, and you ''had better
go below" and you don't get on deck
again for three days, and you are glad that
your toe nails have not gone, as tribute
10 Neptune, with the line OF Fancy Gro
ceries you have sent out. You are, how
ever, in profound accord with the old
scotchman, who exclaimed, as he sits in a
forlorn corner OF the smoking room the
day you come on deck, "Confound the
sea-" You are able to bear the smell OF
cooking now, and the doctor suggests some
nice thing for you. He has been most
kind and attentive, you take pains to ex-
press your gratitude for his kindness, and
as you speak he moves away to attend to a
sick passenger in the stearage. In an hour
there is rumor that the doctor is dead,
and investigation proves it to be true. The
kind friend Of but three or four days is
gone. The day following his body is com
mitted to the deep, and you realize as never
before that truth uttered in Scripture, ''The
sea shah give up its dead" And now q

are in Liverpool. Ten days only from dock
TO dock. Your engine has not ceased TO
pulsate, the great forcing screw has not
lost revolution. The furnaces have con-
sumed 90 tons OF coal per day, 600 tons in
all, or 1900 in the round trip.
There has come with you corn from Kan.
sas, wheat from Minnesota, pork from Ill.
inois and beef from Colorado, SO that the
millions of England may be fed in all over
three thousand tons OF food. And such
loads ccme daily to this port.
| Three hundred mail sacks come on
the same steamer from all over the Uni
ted States and from the Islands in the Pa.
eific. At Queenstown the mail is taken
of and sent by rail up through Ireland,
and across to London by boats that run
thirty miles an hour and reach the metrop
oils several hours sooner than by your
boat, and when you get to Liverpool you
find that the mails have reached their des.
tination long before. An inspection Of

least possible annoyance to any one, anC

to good hotel. Resting until the morn
ing you then go out, look around s. little
bid good by 10 your fellow passengers who
have come with you across the Atlantic
Now you are alone, but you have heard by
some way or another, in the years gone by,
that one of your cousins is in Liverpool
You take up the Directory and see the
name, yet 1t may not be the one there are
4 half a dozen by the same name. You cal
at the place of business indicated, you sec
the man, and You know him for he is like
your mother. Then you find other relatives
and are at home. Strolling about in the
afternoon st. Georges Hall is found, you
desire to enter, but are told that there is ga
hog on recital
