The Kncipp Fad.

You cannot be half day in Germany
without discovering that 'Kneipp" has
there become great power. Half the
population talk "Kneipp'-they walk
"Kneipp,' dress "Kneipp," bathe
"Kneipp,' feed "Kneipp," and the more
nimble among them even dance
"Kneipp." Ladies invite their friends
as matter Of course--just as naturally
as here they would to partake of cup
of tea--to divest themselves Of their shocs
and stockings and indulge in walk in
the river or in some near pond. People
whose sleep is troubled, as matter of
course, supplement their habitual might
cap" with "Kneipp" footbath--all cold
out of which they draw up their feet
and calves, all moist and dripping, into
the sheets which we benighted islanders
assiduously study to keep dry.
If you may believe tho new god OF
healing and his votaries. there is no com.
plant which "Kneipp" will not cure
from simple dyspepsia up to cholera and
even lunacy. And it is all, or most OF
it, accomplished by water-a merciful
dispensation of Providence it may seem,
under the peculiar circumstances her.

What to put in the hamper for yacht
ing or boating party at this season Of the
year is quite conundrum, especially If
anything novel is desired as change
from the inevitable cold chicken, ham
and sandwiches which naturally present
themselves to the mind of a housekeeper
when a luncheon al fresco is suggested.
For boating party the two chief things
to remember are first to choose what will
keep and pack easily, and next to pre-
pare the food so that it can be unpacked
and served quickly, says the New York
Tribune, already quoted in the matter of
gowns.
This authority suggests that one OF
the most acceptable dishes for an aquatic
excursion is good sized piece of salmon
cooked to turn, for if ever SO slightly
underdone it will not be nice, nor will it
cut up easily, and if overdone it will
crumble. Let the cook prepare it as late
as possible the evening before, so that it
will be quite fresh, and pack it in dish
that will exactly fit it, and cover it with
fresh, clean cabbage or lettuce leaves.
Then prepare your mayonnaise dressing,
which will do both for the salmon and
a Russian salad, which is also capital
dish for picnic. This is made of cold
potatoes, 'beets and chopped lettuce, with
an onion or two to give it flavor. The
best way in which to carry mayonnaise
is in an open mouthed pickle bottle, and
the salad Of course should be in its own
dish closely packed. Chickens look more
appetizing if neatly cut in joints and
packed in dish with q garnish of ham
or tongue or jelly.
In the way of sweets a mold of jelly
is always refreshing and may be put in
the bottom of the ice pail to keep cool.
A pudding that travels well is one of
cakes and custard, like charlotte russo.
1t is made of slices of cake and has "set
custard" in the center. If it is an all
day affair and there is space in the boat
for small oil stove, a hot dish is very
sustaining. A cup of hot coffee would
prevent many backache and the wea-
ried feeling consequent on an all day ex-
cursion. So take the oil stove by all
means If practicable; if not, cold coffee
au lait and tea sweetened and carried in
bottles will have to take its place.
