4 TRIP ACROSS THE OCEAN.

The Scenes at the Pier When the Steam CT Starts-Morning of Sailihg-Kissing | Goes on Everywhere, on Boat and on l Shore-Parting Messages Lost in the | Bustle of the Final Start.
 (IDrom the New York Journal) l One of the most interesting sights New York has to offer in these early
 summer days is the departure of a
 great ocean liner. Those who have not witnessed the crowds, the excitement, | the necessary hustle and drive of such
 an occasion, have missed an entertain l ing episode.
 | The morning of the sailing presents as lively picture of human activity as could well be imagined.
 | At first sight, everything appears to 1 be in state of chaos; men seem to fall l over each other and to accomplish ab- solutely nothing. A close examination, l however, discloses the fact that each man is at his own particular duty l overseen by competent inspectors or bosses, and if he falters at his work he | is quickly brought to a realization of his shortcoming in language by no means yelled, but, on the contrary, | very much to the point.
 Stevedores, sailors, stewards, truck men, 'longshoremen, go about their va 1 rious jobs with an experience born of much practice assisted by carefully | selected paths, drawn from a large vo- cubulary, thoroughly efficacious for such occasions.
 | Of course there are many things that must of necessity be put aboard at the last moment The meat, in order that it may be of the freshest; likewise the ice, vegetables, cream, and, of course, the trunks, to say nothing of the pas- sengers, and, last of all, the mails. The steady whirl of the donkey en- zines keeps up 8 constant racket, the hoarse cries of the boatswaln giving l orders to the men below, who are slowing trunks and belated cargo, add
 to the noise, while energetic policemen
 are kept busy directing trucks and cabs and making a gangway for the passage of vehicles and pedestrians. Leaving with tides, to insure safe passage across the bar, the departure
 admits of no delay, so that ten o'clock
 means absolutely ten o'clock, and woe
 betide, the procrastinator, who arrives
 but few moments after that time.
 An hour or two before sailing, the
 dock begins to fill up with passengers;
 string of cabs and carriages adds to
 the confusion, while expressmen race
 down with every sort of trunk that the
 ingenuity of man has ever invented.
 If the steamer belongs to fashionable
 line, flowers now begin to arrive, mes
 senger boys laden down with elaborate
 and expensive offerings making attrac-
 tive spots of color.
 The people themselves are a study.
 There are such a number who, accord
 ing to all ones precOnceived notions,
 have no right to be going abroad. The
 humble spectator doomed to stay at
 home sees so many to whom he is ab
 solutely certain Europe will be sealed
 book.
 Vulgar, OstentatiOus, pretentiOus wO-
 men swarm; deadly. common, ordinary
 men swagger about, talking loudly to
 stewards, making themselves offen-
 sively conspicuous, while mingling
 with the crowd the nattily uniformed
 ships officers quietly look after ser
 wants of the boat, directing them here

He was much in his landlady 8 debt, had
to make a weeks trip out of town and
needed his money for travelling expenses
He went away leaving u note in which he
promised to settle as soon as he returned.
He came back to the city two days before
his monthly check was due, and he was
"brole.'
He knew that to face the landlady with
out money would be to invite unpleasant
ness, and strained relations would follow.
llc had not money enough to go to II hotel,
and he sought relief in craft.
He went homo at an hour after she had
retired, lot himself in with latchkey and
tiptoed softly to his room. She attended
divine service each morning, as he knew
well. He slept the sleep of the tired, if not

morning, he made his own bed, smoothed
out tho covers nicely, made change of
garb and went out. She VOTED not of it.

Sugar as Food.

The use CT sugar is now advocated by
medical men us u muscle producing food.
If the ideas Of DR. Vaughan Harley arc
carried out, the college athlete not only of
the future, but the present, will train on u
saccharino diet exclusively Athletes are
now seriously considering the idea. Some,
it is said, Lave already Put it into prac-
ticc.
For years past it has been one of tho
fundamental theories of trainers that sug-
ar was hurtful if taken in quantity,
and athletes We're told to hold the product
of the cane in abhorrcncc as a thing only
detrimental to their interest Now DR..
Harley makes the claim that sugar is not
only harmless, but that it is, on the con-
trary one Of the best of foods for produc-
ing muscle.
The doctor says that psychologists have
demonstrated that sugar is the principal
If not tho only source Of muscular activity,

RUSSIAN COOKERY,
1t Is Queer and Ingenious and Not Wholly
Forbiddlug.

Forbiddlng.
The curse Of all hotel cooking in ST.
Petersburg is boiled beef, There are other
dishes, Of course but the stomach weakens
at this point In St. Petersburg it Is quite
possible to get boiled beef by ordering NUT
ton chops, and the head waiter will pro-
vide seasoning of argument. At one fa-
vorite table 'hotc breakfast roast sucking
pig, stuffed with black buckwheat groats,
Is served every other day, and one must
go early if he be attached to this hearty
delicacy so great is the demand for it on
the part of the Russians, who are attracted
thither by it. But boiled beef Is the Rus
sian as it Is the German and Austrian
Proteus. 1tappears on the bill of fare under
different names at least three times every
day in the year, after already having done
yeoman service In the soup, with one onion
fried from carly morn to dewy eve to
make strong but thrifty favoring. 1t

Character Told BY the Lips,

People who have studied the subject
claim that the mouth is the most instruc-
tive feature of the face. They say that not
only does it originally show certain funda-
mental and inherited traits, but it also ac-
quires lines which reveal an individual S
Efforts to mold his character one way or
the other
Thus persons with thin lips, sharply
drawn down at the corners and rather
bloodlcss and spare, are generally men and
women of narrow and Interchangeable views,
whose sympathics it Is almost impossible
toarousc Obstinacy and self Righteousness
are their besetting failngs.
Again, the woman with very full and
very red lips of the pouting variety is
generally fond Of case and pleasure. Great
constancy and enduring tenderness arc not
likely to be numbered among her virtues
but she is ardent in her temperament and
very impulsivc.
Lips continually curving upward slight
ly poutlng and red, may be very pretty, but
do not denote that their owner is full of
sympathy or has had any deep experience
of life
Sorrow, either of a personal or Indirect
nature, carnestnc5s and gravity are all
shown by those lips, which, though not
sharply drawn down, naturally curve
downward when in rcpose. New York

WAIVER seneArH CORAL ROCK.


~ 6ubterraneAn Tunnels. -a~
There are no streams in Yucatan which
now above the ground, but the whole
peninsula Is one vast table of coral rock,
and beneath 1t are immense sheets of fresh
water, with regular though i'll defined
tides and currents. Along the coasts these
eubterranean waters arc quito near the
surface, but in the interior, where the cal
careous layer Is of great thickness, the wa
tiers are low down. At intervals they break
Into cayerns formed by earthquakes by
pressure of their own force or by tho infil.
tration of surface water into the natural
grottoes of the coral rock, and wherever
the water can DO reached, whether through
artificial pits or by the operations of Ia
ture, the place Is called cenote There
are great many of them scattered all over
Yucatan, and those near Merida are utilized
a. public lighthouses, affording most re-
frcshing resorts.
Centuries ngo the Indians marked the
courses of the subterranenn rivers by heaps
OF stones and always built their cities
close by the water caves, as their ruins
show, and 1t is interesting to note to this
day all the civilized centers of Yucatan
have arisen around these natural reser-
voirs. There are many forms of cenotes
When the water flows at slight depth
and the calcareous layer has been only
partially eaten away, there follows an ir-
regular sinking, which forms u cave open
ang from side to side, but when the crust
Is thicker and the underground stream has
. regular course the soil is generally cor
roded In circular space and the vault thus
formed, lacking support falls in, making
an immense open wall. Often the crust
is so deep that the soft parts only crumble
down, leaving small aperture toward the
top, fashioning a real grotto, with stalac-
titles and stalagmites galore. Again, 1t
happens that the crust is exceedingly thick,
when colossal subtcrrancan passage, like
q tunnel Is formed In short, all the vari-
atlons which an undisturbed stream may
produce in friable soil by tho silent work
of ages may be here witnessed. The cenote
of which l write is natural cavern, nearly
30 feet deep, broken down at one side, thus
forming gigantic arch. Within it ap.
pears every form Of stalagmite and stalac-
tite ard Its roof is perforated with holes,
in which are thousands Of birds and hor-
nets nests. At the bottom Of It, reached
by flight Of stone steps from the charm
ing garden above, Is an extensive sheet of
clear, fresh water, containing a multitude
of tiny fish (Pesredo cenote) similar to
those found in the Mammoth cave of Ken
tucky-only these are not eyclesS. The
Oyerhangng roots Of trees fringe its broken
arch, anordng shelter to innumcrablc
lizards and iguanas, which dart along the
lodges like embedded sunhcams, while
above them countless swallows circle in
masses so dense that the whirrinr of thcjr
wings produces dealening noise, echoed
from below in hollow revcrberations. Chi

to anger, and he went for the officer with
an iron spike. u The policeman was the
better man and Grady was landed In the
