"FLowERY" MEETING AT THE sPRuDEL.
was not its first good turn to man, as the
good people of Carlsbad are inclined to have
us believe, in their natural desire to connect
the Carlsbad discovery with the great king
who gave the springs his august name; for it
was called the warm bath" long before
Charles time, and the Tepel-the "tepid" -
was still an older name. But Charles made it
famous, If he was not it's disovcrer, and when
once he had built his palace in the town that
grew up about the healing fountains, he set
the fashion for royalty that royalty has never
departed from. For hither came George Ill.
in his happy time. and Peter the Great and
Maria Theresa, and a long line of kings and
kingly men.
1t has become the most famous of all
mineral springs and the most aristocratic
watering-place in Europe. Yet the town is
always delightful in the thronged season,
which lasts from the middle Of June until
the middle of August, though what is called
the regular season begins earlier AMI lasts
until the lst of October. AT the height of the
season the throngs in the town are pic
turcsquc, as Carlsbad is far enough to the
East TO gain Asatic guests, who bring
promenadcrs going steadily along the colon
nades of the "cure house." This is one of the
sights worth visiting Europe for-the long
line of slowly pacing men and women from
all parts of the world, each one keeping his or
her place in the line as strictly and as solemnly
as one clings to his position before railroad
ticket Office in some great out-of-town rush.
1t has its hIdicrous side, too, for each one of
all the promenading thousands carries an
earthenware mug hanging by strap passed
around the neck; glass will not do, as the
Carlsbad springs are too hot for that Some
where an amusing story is told of a native Of
Prague who bore evidence in his person and
habiliments of the oft-repeated assertion that
Prague is the dirtiest city in Europe. Finding
one day that he had left his mug at his board.
ing house, he turned to the gentleman behind
him, who CHANGED to be an Italian duke, and
said: " A drink from your mug, Nein HERR"
ut Is yours" the nobleman replied, with
elaborate courtesy, and presenting it silently
slipped from the line. The borrower drank
and turned to give back the mug. but found
the owner gone. "What wastefulness !" he
murmured, pathetically.
But men Of all sorts touch elbow here, and
with frankness and courtesy in the main.
Ones mind returns and returns to them and
women who have come hither for health and
pleasure. Goethe came often, and always
with advantage to himself. His first visit
was in 1855, when he passed pleasant month
in the company Of Herder, Frau Won Stein
and the Duchess Louise. 1t was Herder who
had led him away from the false methods Of
the French school and BROUGHT to his notica

TO LOOK FOR PEARY.
The Party will Sail from Brooklyn June 20

NEW YORK, June 1.-When Lieutenant
Peary started, nearly year ago, on his
second expedition to northern Greenland.
he made arrangements for the despatch of
ship this summer to fetch him and his
party home. He himself supplied much of
the money for this purpose, and left the
details of preparation to an advisory COM
mittee of the Philadelphia Geographical
Club. 1t has organized accordingly aparty
of seven, that will sail from Brooklyn for
St. Johns, Newfoundland, by regular
steamer on June 90.
They will leave St. Johns early in July
on the steam whalsr Falcon that carried
Peary north last year, and they should
reach Bowdoin bay, where he made his per-
manent quarters, by July %. If Peary has
followed his original plans he will then be
absent on his sledging journey overland to
the north, and if all is found right at Bow
doin bay the Falcon party will undertake
some little exploration of its own in Files
mere land. At the end of August both par
ties should be again at Peary's quarters,
ready to sail south so that by the middle of
September, if all goes well, he will be at
home again.
The chief of the auxiliary expedition is
Henry G. Bryant of Philadelphia, an expe-
rienced man in such affairs. Professor
Libbey of Princeton, another experienced
explorer, is its geographer, Professor Cham
berlain of the University of Chicago its
gcologst, and DR.. Ohlin of Sweden its
zoologst. The other members of the party
are Dr. Wetherill of Philadelphia. II. l..
Bridgman of Brooklyn and Emil Diebisch,
brother of Mrs. Perry.
There is a chance that the expedition
may find trsces of the two Swedish natural
ists who, when their ship was wrecked in
1892, sought refuge among the Eskimos of
Ellesmerelsnd.

The Size of Paper-At Afternoon Tea.
About Invitations, Regrets, Etc.
The following useful items on social mat
ters are CLEANED from Harper's Bazaar: Let
ter paper measures 9s% by ~, packet about
81 by AZ and billet by 6. There is end
less variety in odd sizes. The conventional
pale cream tint paper.
The teakettle on the table is prettier than
the floor standard. For your drawing room
tea table you need pretty assortment of
cups and saucers. Variety is better than a
matched set; teapot, preferably of china,
a sugar dish with small tongs, a tray for
sliced lemon and pretty plate for biscuit
or small cakes. Very few people take cream
in drawing room tea. A dish of almonds or
bonbons may be added.
Husbands do not exist at teas Cards
are only left for the hostess and her daugh-
ters-one for the ladies whose names appear
on the card of invitation. Cards are not
left for the young girls in the receiving par
~ unless they are resident in the house.
AS to the number of cards to be left, two
of your husbands and one Of your own for
each of the couples in the house.
You may ask men to call again or not, as
you may desire. You can at least say you
are very pleased to have entertained them
You should say good evening at your re-
ception room door, A first call should be
returned within two weeks
A lady can wear tea gown in her own
home whenever she chooses. 1t is perfect
ly appropriate throughout the afternoons
to receive casual visitors in informally or
even to wear at her own dinner table if
it pleases her. When visiting, she would
best be guided by the habits of the house
bold with whom she is staying
Invitations to dinners or to theater par
ties should be promptly accepted or de-
cl.noN. 1t is not customary to send accept
ances to teas. If you do not attend, you
should send your calling card during the
hours of the reception. Inclose it in an en-
velope and send either by post or by serv-
ant.
Calling cards for social use by lady who
is also a physician should not have her pro-
fessional title. They should read Mrs
John Jones Smith, while those for profess
sional use should read Mrs John Jones
Smith, NJ. ID.
1t is not correct to write regrets or sac
cepts" on a card. You may either leave or
send your cards on the day of reception as
regret or for more formal affairs write
note OF regret or acceptance. The fashion
of folding calling cards is obsolete. There
is no such thing as visiting card"
A man usually offers woman his right

to take a womau's arm in the street.

their prejudice, finding that visitors were

obtained from the water of the Sprudel

laxative, and diuretc remedy, and, if taken
in doses Of q teaspoonful, is a gentle but

obtained by the use of the salt, given in

and simple jaundicc, one tcaspoonful Of the

All Snakes Do Not Hiss.

The popular idea that all snakes hiss Is
incorrect when anacondas are in question, if
we may believe close observer of the ser
pent family. The sound they make is more
like growl than a hiss and has been well
described by recent traveller as "low,
roaring noise" Their powers of deglutition
are sufficiently wonderful to make exagger-
alton unnecessary, credible witnesses testi-
flying to the fact that one has been known
to swallow horse, while bullocks are not

THE ATTRACTIONS OF THE FAMOUS

A Town Built on the Lid of q Boiling
Kettle Where Nobility, Wealth
and Beauty Meet Every

Fancy town built on the lid Of boiling
kettle-that is Carlsbad. Who first said this
am not able to tell, but all who know Carls-
bad will appreciate the happy wit And
though it is but the lid of kettle, it is a very
beautiful one. 1t lies in the romantic valley
of the Tepel and the Tepel is in Bohemia
just where its mountains rise darkly along
the German frontier. There is beauty every
where; the mountains look down upon the
narrow little city, whose houses lie like beads

along the rapid, winding river; they hold
both banks of the stream and crowd against
the hills, five stories high, perhaps, where
they face the river, though but two or three
in the rear.
Perhaps there are twelve thousand inhabf-
tants in Carlsbad boarding houses arc every
where, as one will readily believe when told
that seventy thousand guests visited the town
last year. 1t is thriving manufacturing
place, but the real source of its prosperity is
naturally its mineral springs. They lie in
nearly straight line-presumably crack in
the lid, some one suggests-and while deep
boring through the calcareous crust upon
which the town is built has often penetrated
the vast underlying reservoir, no attempt
has ever succeeded in sounding this deep
cavern, from which the mineral waters find
their outlet under high pressure and some
times with amazing force.
The Sprudcl the most famous, most abund-
ant and hottest of the Carlsbad springs, after
keeping for centuries its methodical way
through the covered house men had set for
it, took upon itself in recent years the liberty
of varying the monotony of its existence,
and one fine morning disappeared from it's
accustomed place and made for itself new
opening under the Tepel river, which grew
warm and fell to stcaming. 1t was turned
back, but it was the work of many months.
The bed Of the river was levclcd, and for
many rods was paved with granite blocks,
clamped and cemented. The banks of the
river were also cciled with cement. So it is
again healing spring to-day, as it was in the
fifteenth century, when Charles ~, Emperor
of Austria and King of Bohemia, coming
homo from the wars, stumbled upon the
springs, and was healed of a wound he had
got at Crecy twelve years before. But that
