HEALTH IN SEA AIR.
Making the Round Ocean Tri2 for
Rest and RecrcatIOn.


Rest and Recreation.
The names Of Rev. Lindsay Parker
and w. II. Payne appeared on the pas
scnger lists of the New York, Of the
American line, on both her outgoing
and her last incoming voyages. The
marine reporter noticing this fact,
asked the purscr, Thomas Kinsey,
whether these two gentlemen had been
suddenly summoned home that they
returned on the same ship which took
them over.
"Oh, no." was the reply. "They were
afloat simply for their health. We have
such passengers almost every trip.
There is nothing like an ocean voyage
to rest n man and brace his nerves.
We will have invalids and others on
vacation with us now nearly every trip
over and back until near next winter.
l understand that physicians recon-
mend it,"
Inquiry at the various steamship
piers showed that almost al the lines
that make a specially Of the very
| finest cabin service with quick trips
! have a constant clientage Of wealthy
| passengers who go across and back at
| least once n year on the same vessel,
1 simply for the sea air and the COM
/ plete rest
There is no laZness so entire and
abandoned as that OF cabin passen-
! ger on good ship" said Il gentleman
| connected with the Guion line. You
get UP in the morning after a sound
sleep and you are hungry for your
| breakfast. You eat at your leisure
and then you 20 on deck for exercise.
There are no letters waiting To be
opened and answered. no kilograms
! TO worry, no visitors either to talk bus
mess or TO be entertained. 1t is just
take life easy till the gong sounds for
luncheon, and again you are hungry.
The sea air is wonderful tonic. Then
you repeat the mornings experience
in the afternoon, and find your appe-
tite like that OF schoolboy when din
ner is ready, and again ct night you
sleep soundly.
Now TO many n business man, whose
dyspepsia has become n chronic affiic-
ton and whose anxious days have
made his nights wakeful. could there
be anything more attractive than a
quiet cutting off of ali connection with
business by the simple process OF get
ting aboard ship? Such man may be
on the edge of breaking down COM
plctcly. If he goes into the country
his mail and his telephone will keep
him worrying. If he goes into tho
mountains ne cannot get away from
the newspaper intelligence, and he may
read Il report of the stock market that
will do him as much harm as though
he were right in Wall street. On ship
board he is safe from all news"
Mr.. 4. Forget. OF the French line,
said that all through May, June and
August people who need rest and love
the ocean take trips over and back on
the same vessel. Many of these vOy-
ayers are men who have only n short
vacation and want TO spend 1t all upon
the water. Similar testimony comes
from the Cunard people. At this mo-
ment +. +. Albee is enjoying such a
trip on the rapid vessels Of this li"n.
which has the two record breoS :
among all the ocean fleet, the CL =
pania and the Lucania Mr.. Albee will
come here on the Campania, arriving,
il no storms delay the vessel, about
two weeks from the day he sailed.
A favorite trip for the late winter
and spring is to Mediterranean ports
by the North German Lloyd vessels.
A voyage through the Mediterranean
sea has its attractions in early spring,
and many who take the trip have no
desire for land travel in the countries
the vessel visits.
A gentleman employed by the White
Star line tells Of the trip of gentle
man of his acquaintance who went
over and back in the same steamer,
but the passenger did not go for his
health. He boarded the vessel to bid
his best girl good-by, and became SO
engrossed that he was out at sea be-
fore he realized it, and it was too late
TO 20 back then.-New York Sun.
