AT SHELLPOT PAlsK.
Program of Novelties TO be offered
Next Week.


1t would be difficult task to put to-
gether better program of novelties than
what is offered at Shellpot Park next
week.
Comedians, acrobats, singers, dancers
and in fact, every branch of entertain
ment is consolidated into one program,
and if the company meets with half the
approval here as it has done in other
cities, the week should prove highly
satisfactory both from an artistic and fin
ancial standpoint.
Many fayorite names are announced;
Billy Courtwright and Jennie Leedo, a
travesty act that is said to be more than
pleasing everywhere. Willie Shelly and
Baby Bnrbeck, two very clever tots, rank
among the b-st in their line. Mile. Zoar
On the high wire, and the Mariangs with
'heir comedy ladders, will all lend their

An Ooean Hotel.

Some idea Of what big hotel a
transatlantic liner is may be gained
from the following from Ainslie's Mag
a1ine: Everything about the kitchen
Of q great steamship Is on a most elab-
crate scale. The range weighs many
tons; the various soup caldrons are
constructed to hold 20 gallons; loaves
are baked by the hundred. joints roast
ed by the dozen, each In separate and
specially constructed compartment. To
serve the meals thousands Of plates,
pieces Of silver, cups and saucers and
napkins are required, and the average
breakage In the galley Of big ship
amounts to barrel Of china every day.
1.-THE amount Of stores required for
single voyage by a great liner is COM
parable only to the commissariat Of an
army. Here are a few figures furnish
ed by the chief steward Of one Of the
big German ships from the order sheet
for a recent trip: Sixteen tons of fresh
beef, flve tons Of lamb and veal, $500
head Of chickens. ducks, geese and
game, four tons Of salted meats, 1000
dozens eggs, three tons Of sugar, 100
barrels Of -four. TOO bushels Of pota-
toes, ~ tons Of butter, 1900 quarts Of
milk and 500 gallons Of Ice cream. OF
course this Is not an exhaustive list,
but It will serve to give an idea Of tho
enormous appetite which the store
rooms Of the ocean liner must satisfy"

A Dry Smoke.

II you see q pan with an unlighted
cigar between his lips, It Is not be-
cause he Is looking for a light, but be-
cause he Is indulging In the pleasure Of
dry smoke" How there can be any
enjoyment in this to smoker Is not
readily apparent, but the fact remains
that there is much satisfaction In the
habit, and, besides. there are no bane-
full effects.
For invetcrate smokers the dry smoke
Is a good habit to cultivate. 1t enables
many slaves Of the weed to decrease
the number of cigars actually smoked
in day without causing much incon-
venience. OF course an inveterate
smoker would find no pleasure In the
habit at the start, but perseverance is
necessary, and after awhile he will en-
Joy his dry smoke almost as much as
the real one. It Is a good way to be-
gin If you desire to stop smoking. Try

sion, tending to encourage carelessness
