Weather and condition of health permitting,
stay on deck much OF the time. in steamer
chair, in a scmirecumbent position, comfortably
covered and eyes closed. Anywhere on ship, in
berth or chair, keep the eyes closed during the
daytime, with exceptions of short duration, un.
til immunity from optical vertigo is acquired.
Thus you will exclude optical vertigo, by which
are meant that dizziness ard nausea which are
often consequent on the continued observation
OF unusual relations amorg environs, and
between them and ourselves. Whenever the
slightest sensation Of illness is felt, lie down at
once and close the eyes. Use only one pillow,
il quite sick, or it seems likely that you will
be, have the head even below the level of the
body, with no pillow for a while. I have seen
the pillow make all the difference between great
misery and almost absolute comfort.

Steamship motion can be analyzed into twcn.
ty-six different factors. It is therefore very
complicated and, OF course incomprehcnsiblc at
first. The many variations occur to the paSScn-
ger unawares. His animal mechanism cannot
adjust itself to thcm because he cannot at first
foreknow them. The case becomes much like
that of going up or down stairs in the dark and
finding one step more or less than expected.
The variations not being adjusted TO-, because
not forcknown, violence OF some kind is the Ic-
suit. The disturbances occur in continued SER
les, each very slight, but the series results in
an accumulated sum Of violence which we call
seasickness. What is first disturbed in the am
NAL mechanism is the vaso-nervous system, that
which controls the circulation of the blood, and
a result, the circulation itself must of course
be disturbed. The first important result is a
relaxation of the blood.y>sels in the abdominal
cavity; these vessels having much less outside
support than those that traverse muscular It's

The worst case Of seasick retching will easily
be made comparatively comfortable in thirty
minutes or less, by lying down without pillow,
closing the eyes and taking pint OF porter or
stout in six doses at fye-minute intervals An.
other food for such an emergency, but not so
good as stout is made by mixing well the yOlks
of two raw fresh eggs with equal bulk Of
good brandy. Give tcaspoonful at ten'minute
intervals. If you do not feel quite well with
a pillow, remove it, and you will feel better.
This is very important Retchlng occurs in par.
oxysms at intervals more or less regular. The
best time to take the malt beverage, or any 9TH
er food is Just after a paroxysm of retching,
Should it be taken before and thrown up, then
take another dose Immediately after the par.
oxysm. That will stay down, because the next
paroxysm will not occur under ten to fifteen
minutes, and by that time the patient has had
the benefit Of the DOSE or several doses, and
should not retch at all. So after casting up an
entire meal it is proper to go and straightway
eat another, which is not likely to come up

Even while lying down, a susceptible passen-
ger will not escape seasickness if his blood be-
comes impoverished in respect of nutritive ma
terial; and, having been seasick, he cannot
recover while his blood remains so impoverished
To prevent seasickness must keep his blood
saturated with nutritiye material. To recover
from seasickness must saturate his blood
with nutritive material. For this purpose one
must eat, and il unable to eat enough at
time, he must eat oftener. To eat seven times
a day is about right; the three regular meals,
ten to fifteen minutes before rising halfway
between meals, and at bedtime Always eat and
drink at least ten minutes before rising in the
morning. 1t matters little what it is, provided
only it is what you want. Porter or stout is
good, so are hard sour apples. At sea we may
find ourselves liking and longing for things that
we hardly ever think of on shore. Whatever you
really want, that is the best thing to take; and
porter stout is always good, whether you
want it not. Whatever is taken before rising
must be so conveniently available as not to re.
quire the patient to raise his head In case of
porter or stout, the glass must be dispensed
with and the liquid taken directly from the
bottle.

The second effect is the gravitation of blood
into the relaxed vessels, thus permitting the
occurrence Of deficiency in the brain. One
result OF this deficiency in the brain is the sen.
sation called nausea. This mechanical deficiency
of blood in the BRAIN with its corresponding
sensation (nausea), is to be avoided wheN OBJ
served to be approaching, and corrected when
already present, by lying down with the head
no higher than the body. II the patient does
not promptly lie down, retching will take place
Retching is natures method OF flooding the
brain with blood, by squeezing the contents Of
the abdominal cavity in such manner as to
force upward some o' the excess of blood CON
tanned in its relaxed vessels. The regurgitation
OF food or fluids from the stomach is merely
incidental, and not essential. The stomach has
nothing to do with sessckness except to be in
cidentally and accidentally implicated. By the
time patient has been seasick two or three
days, and his forces have regardless Of his con.
sent been heavily drawn upon by many hours
of retchng and having meanwhile, of course
not profted by anything swallowed, he will he
suffering from poverty Of blood. The sense Of
hunger will be obscured by the nausea.

When one is already seasck, those LIQUID
foods are best which require least digestion, are
most rapidly absorbed, and yield the quickest
returns-beer, ale, porter, stout, broths, soups.
meat extracts. These cannot all be prescribed
with success; they should only be suggested
then the patient will choose which he wants, and
the stomach will agree on the choice. The sick.
er the patient the oftener he must eat and the
less at time, and when he feels repugnance
to all other foods, porter or stout taken with
out raising the head directly from the bottle,
mouthful at a time, at about five minute in
teryas, will prove great success. II you are
able to be up and about and are regularly going
to meals, then always lie down Immediately af.
ter eating, about fifteen minutes at least At
table do not wait, but begin eating at once on
something, or delay going to table until the
rush is over or stipulate with your waiter for
immediate attention When done, do not wait,
but go directly to your berth or elsewhere and
lie down. Whenever there appears the slightest
sensation OF hunger, or nausea, or any indie
scribable Of discomfort about the stomach,
or in the head, eat and lie down.

HEORIC MEAS
URBS NEEDED.
City Council Wrestling
with the Rate Prob. en-. 4

From the outlook, members OF
City Council and of other cit, de-
partments are worried over the city
finances and heroic measures will
have to be taken thatrevenue NAV be
raised OUTSIDE of being compelled
to raise the tax rate this year. Will
mlngton most certainly should have
the greater portion of the money re-
eeiyed from liquor licenses, which
is now paid to the State. The State
treasury is in better financial
condition than ever before in its
history, owing to the tees collected
from granting charters to corpora
tions.
City Council will ask for power to
tax companies enjoying franchises
in this city. Take the franchise
granted by the Street and Sewer
Commissioners to the Universal
Heat, Light and Conduit Company,
from which the city will not receive
one dollar in direct revenue al
though it's streets have been handed
bodily over to that corporation. is
it any wonder that the city is fnan-
cially embarrassed at the present
time?
II the city can collect the taxes
which have been levied upon road
beds, poles. wires, etc, then the tax
rate will remain the same as at
present. But if the taxes levied on
these corporations in our city can
not be collected the tax rate will
have to be increased. The real es-
tate in Wilmington is standing all
the taxes they possibly can, as the
tax rate at present compared with
that OF twenty Years is something
appalling. Real estate in our city
has had black eye for the last five
years and is just beginning to re-
cover from the depression. An in-
crease will mean decrease in the
value of dwellings,.
1t is claimed that enough back
taxes are on the city collectors
books TO paw all olthe deficit of $40
600, which the city will have at the
close OF the present fiscal year.
The experiment of reducing the
water taxes has not helped to swell
the water departmentsurplu which
that department has been turning
over to City Council. Even the
Street and Sewer Commission will
be compelled to rctrench and watch
its expenditures as the department
receives but 500, 600 a year from
City Council. Something will have
to be done to keep the city tax rate
down.

FIERCE FLAMES
SWEEP OTTAWA
Eight Millions of Dollars
Damage and Hundreds
of Families Home.
less.

Toronto, April 27.-The capital
of the Dominion has been compelled
to adjourn, hundreds of people are
homeless and millions of dollars OF
property reduced to ashes.
The town of Hull, just across the
river from Ottawa, has been parti-
ally destroyed and more than a
hundred families rendered home
less.
The fire broke out in Hull abont
II a. NJ. Yesterday and was at first
only considered a small blaze, but
ere the fremen arrived the wind
suddenly rose and in half an hour
ttty houses were blazing.
BY l o'clock the fire was sweep.
ing through the town southerlv to-
wards the River Ottawa, the Eddy
lumber yards caught fire, the Chau-
diere Bridge, and like flash of
lightning the flames leaped across
the river, setting the Bronson lum-
Der yard on fire, and, the wind in
creasing, the large district near
the river was one raging cauldron.
City engines had been sent across
the river to assist the Hull brigade,
and when the fire reached Ottawa
the engines and men were entrap-
ed in Hull, the bridge across the
river being in flames
In the meantime the business por-
lions of Hull had also caught fire,
and tor miles around the two cities
looked like mass OF flames.
Fire engines arrived on a special
tram from Montreal and other
nelghboring cities, but so fierce
was the heat that the firemen could
do but little.
Right south from the river the
lire spread, caused by the sparks.
Everything being dry the fire
spread with startling rapiditv, and
at last recognizing the futiitv OF
depending on fire engines to check
the flames. houses were blown down
by dynamite so as to give vacant
space around the flame area.
IL 'hS iuSdHlli1C lIC lulSHSC meat
and excitement reached Parlia-
ment Building, and on motion OF the
Premier Parliament adjourned.
The government police and. mill
tia were turned out to aid in the
fight against the fire.
Every precaution was taken to
save the houses of Parliament sand
the government Offices.
The wind at 6 o'clock had risen
to hurricane, and the enormous
damage amounted already, on a
rough estimate, to $1,000, 900, with
more than 300 families homeless,
including those Of several members
of Parliament.
At $50 tonight every public
building in Hull many OF the
churches. the whole of the immense
lumber works of the Eddy Com
pany, and wharvcs and piers had
been destroyed ard the fire is still
in progress. In Ottawa the dis.
tricts of the Chandler, Hintonburg,
Mechanicsvlls and Lochestervllle
had been wiped out, and the fire is
still raging. But the wind has
moderated a little.
