Some Hints on Manners 1t Were Well to
Observe at Sea.

Observe at Sea.
Tho shortness of the voyage has largely
killed off the cordially which is apt to
break out among fellow passengers long
at sea together, despite themselves. This
short period of good fellowship is not so
repugnant to an experienced Traveller as to
some others If there happen to be agree
able people on board. He does not misun-
derstand civility as an effort ON the part of
the people to make his acquaintance. He
knows enough to mind his own business
on sea or land. But the man who relaXes
conventionalities not at all on shipboard is
apt to have a pretty dull time which,
however, is just what dull man likes.
A civil word, passing remark, or even
two remarks, can do person of tact
no harm nor lead to social complications
later. A friendly attitude is more SEN
sible than standing conspicuously aloof
from everything or than REFRESHING
all signs of interest in existence or than
rigidly disregarding the fact that any one
is ON the ship besides oneself, and de-
fensive airs are generally offensive-at
least they are airs.
Some Americans seem to think that a
naughty demeanor will have the effect OF
a title upon their fellow passengers. But
it generally does not. Sir Walter Scott is
credited with repeating Montaigne's re-
mark that every man knew some one
thing better than he did, and when he met
a stranger, therefore, he engaged him in
conversation to find that one thing out.
In Scott's day to be a courteous gentleman
or a gracious lady under all circumstances
was not considered bad form. One of the
most popular men ever saw on shipboartl
was New Yorker whose family, whose
social position and whose public station
and influence are most enviable Wherever
he is is the best society. On the trip
have in mind he seemed to have said or
done or looked something amiable toward
everybody. Yet 1 don't believe anybody
tried to presume upon his civility then or
afterward. Morris Iddings in Scrib-
ner's.

WAMPOLE'S
PREPARATION,

of the nutritive properties of Pure
Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from
fresh cod livers, combined with Syrup
of Hypophosphites, Extracts of Malt
and Wild Cherry Bark, has saved
many such girls. 1t contains all
the tiesh.forming and strengthening
qualities of the oil without its loath-
some taste The most sensitive and
feeble can take 1t, as they tdke syrup,
and digest it perfectly. Taken before
meals it creates an appetite, stops the
emaciating process, puts flesh on the
thin and boly body, and ruddy cheeks
soon tell the story of pure blood, good
digestion and recovered health. Girls
and women gain weight AMI vigor by
the use of it. To give it trial is to
believe in it always thereafter. 1t is
food and me licine combined. Genu-
inc only gives results from the first
dose. Sold by all chemists.

HEP MOTHERS OIRI..

A bright, handsome girl on the
borderland between childhood and
womanhood, is at once source Of
pride and anxiety to her mother.
But she has grown fast and is still
growing. Nature makes stern de-
mands upon the slender body. The
skin is dull, the eyes lustreless, the
cheeks and neck are sunken, the APP
petite is capricious, and the move
ments languid. The trouble is inn
purity and sluggishness of the blood.
1t needs the life giving elements from
which alone the body derives its vigor
and health The remedy is

and broke a window of the church with
which he was connected, The Sunday
following he was at the Sunday school
with his friend, but he listened very
little to the lesson; he always expected
to hear this question: "Who has broken
the pane?" At last the master asked
him this: who made the Heavens and
the earth?" The child, who trembled
very much, replied: "Sir, assure you
that it was not l." The master. much
surprised at hearing such an answer,
repeated the same question. raising his
voice little. The boy this time thought
he was found out; he answered, while
weeping: "Sir, it is L; but pardon me.

SCENIC BEAUTIES OF ALASKA.
A Glorious Field for Either Work OF
Rest.


To the lover of wildness Alaska offers
a glorious field for either work or rest;
landscape beauty in thousand forms,
things great and small, novel and IA
miliar, as wild and pure as paradise.
Wander where you may, wildness ever
fresh and ever beautiful meets you in
endless variety; ice-laden mountains,
hundreds of miles OF them, peaked and
pinnacled and crowded together like
trees in groves, and so high and so di-
virely clad in clouds and air that they
seem to belong more to heaven than to
earth; inland plains, grassy and tiowery,
dotted with groves and extending like
seas all around to the rim of the sky;
lakes and streams shining and singing,
outspread in sheets of may embroidery
in untraceable, measureless abundance,
Frightening every landscape, and keep
ing the ground fresh and fruitful for
ever; forests of evergreens growing
close together like leaves of grass, grid
ling a thousand islands and mountains
in glorious array; mountains that are
monuments of the work of ice. noun
tains monuments of volcanic fires;
gardens filled with the fairest flowers,
giving their fragrance to every wander
ing wind; and far to the north thou
sands Of miles of ocean ice, now wrapped
in fog, now glowing in sunshine
through nightless days, and again
shining in wintry splendor beneath the
beams of the aurora-sea, land, and sky
one mass of white radiance like star.
Storms, too, are here as wild and sub
lime in size and scenery as the land
scapes beneath them, displaying the
glorious pomp of clouds on the march
over mountain and plain, the flight of
the snow when all the sky is in bloom,
trailing rain-floods, and the booming
plunge of avalaNches and icebergs and
rivers In their rocky glens; while multi
tudes of wild animals and wild people,
clad in feathers and furs, biting, lov-
ing, getting living, make all the wild
ness wilder.-John Muir, in Century.
