On the Atlantic one may wear shah

in the evening and a decent gown to
go ashore in. But a month demands
something of a wardrobe, both for COM
fort and propriety, and arrangements
are always made that an extra trunk
shall be accessible. In illustration: For
the early promenade TO the morning
bath a wrapper is needed, of silk, or

much fummery of lace and ribbon as
one may desire.

For this every one makes a full toll

supposed to be accustomed to the US
ages of polite life.
After dinner, which is long and
elaborate, the evening is given to en-
joyment. This routine, with ii nee
essary attention to dress is
founded on common sense. 1t
breaks up the monotony of days at
sea, allows people to settle down into
a semblance of organized life, and re-
lieves the tediousness of the voyage.
Indeed this tendency is sometimes car
ried so far that passengers put on bon
nets and gloves to attend religious ser
vice in the cabin.
For most voyages one prepares for
cold. for this one prepare for heat. No
one can really know the full delight of
sea travel until she has fioated over
summer seas in thin clothes. This
Oriental trip dispenses with steamer
rugs, heavy clothes and furs, and
leaves valuable space for other neces-
sary things. To recapitulate, one needs

in the water or plunge under and wal
low; but the knee bath is regarded as
sufficient for most cases. 1t would nat
urally be supposed that after this they
would hurry home, have a good towel
ing and get into dry clothes. Not at
all. The important feature of the
bathing Is that the clothing should dry
on the patient. Stretched in the warm
sunshine or perched on logs and rocks,
the bathers sit and chat while the
water drips and trickles from their
clothse. Here and there one may hear
the chattering teeth of a novice: the
regulars never shiver on the cooleTt
days. Not until they are thoroughly
dry do they change their bathing
clothes; and there is no case on record
of cold having been contracted there.
Some time ago the railroad which
runs a branch to Boyne Falls heard
of the Boyne cures, and, as it was
looking about for a site for its hospi-
tai sent a test case there, a Grand
Rapids man named De Bruyne, who
had been for years an intermittent hos
pital subject, and great sufferer from
rheumatism. Mr.. De Bruyne arrived
at Boyne Falls on a Monday. He went
to the stream on crutches; surveyed
il, and baked. On Tuesday he was
persuaded to wade in. Next day he re-
quired no persuasion. By Monday of
the following week he abSent-mindedly
walked out of the hotel without his
crutches, and at last accounts he was
frisking like the wiry grasshopper. All

Being oVerpersuaded to stay at home
by his family, who thought he was
crazy. he gave up the project for that
day; but on the morrow he set out on
his two canes. After wading about in
the stream half day he threw one of
his canes at a kingfisher and came
hobbling merrily back on one. Since
that time he declares he has been free
from his rheumatic tortures.

So enthusiastic was Mr.. Keyes over

this. despite the report of the hospital
doctors that he was suffering from
muscular adhesions in both legs.
At present there are bathers from
Indiana, Missouri, Virginia, Illinois,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York;
most of them sufferers from rheuma-
tism, though few are old people who
are bathing as a tonic.
The extraordinary properties of the
Boyne river water are probably due to
a chemical combination, the full nature
of which is not known. Geological in
vestigations have shown that under
the entire valley is deposit of mica
quartz, alternating with a fine clay,
which yields a large percentage of
lithia. Analysis of the water shows
that of 81 grains of solid in the i'm
perial gallon, 80 per cent. is carbonate
of lithia and 50 per cent. common salt
In the stones is found evidence of iron
and other chemical agency. For miles
the stream is almost cho1ed with wot-
,erlogged cedar, spruce and tamarack,
through which the water percolates,
forming a sort of tincture on huge
scale. Supposedly it is this combina-
ton of mineral and vegetable agencies
that give to the water its wonderful
efficacy.

going into battle. There is a record of
two refugees from the massacre by
Chippewa Indians at the old Macki-
nav Post, more than two hundred
years ago. who, flying southwark to
Detroit, stopped to battle in it's wa
ters, and went on so refreshed and in
vigorated that they were ready to
ascribe miraculous qualities to the
stream. Since the region has been set
tied by the whites the popula ton
has been remarkable for stnrdi-
ness and longevity. The definite
modern instance, however, whence the
growing repute of Boyne River start
ed is the case of George Reyes. And.
If the experience of Mr.. Keyes reads
somewhat after the order of that Sc
ductive epistolary literature put forth
by the patent medicine companies. IL
may be stated as an offset that he has
no property in the region of the river
TO dispose of, that he doesn't own
hotel or seek the elusive summer
boarder, nor has he any intention of
bottling Boyne water and disseminat-
ing it for a consideration over the face
of the nation: in short, he has no in
terest in ii beyond that of a man who,
at "A, was a tottering wreck, and at so
skips on sprightly foot daily to take
his dip in its waters.
OF the most unprecedented nature
was Mr.. Reyes initial dip into the
Boyne. On a certain bright day, eight
years ago, when his rheumatism was
giving him a little respite, as is the
custom of that wet weather demon, he
hobbled on two canes three miles along
the road to the nearest point of the
river to see how the trout were biting
They bit well. Mr. Reyes and his bait
can sat on the end of big projecting
log over deep pool, and lured the
spotted beauties out until the old man
forgot age and stiff bones and leaned
too fer over in an attempt to drop an
artfuuy hidden hook between two
rocks. The next instant the pole and
the con were floating down stream and
Mr. Reyes was struggling in the water.
How he got ashore he never knew, but
he FINALLY clambered up the bank
shaking with cold.
Might just as we'll have drowned"
he thought miserably as he clutched
his canes and set out on the road. 'Tll
never get up out Of my bed, once I
reach it,"
Such was his anticipatory woe that
he didn't notice what good time he
was making until he reached Farmer
Perkins place, a mile away. The far
mer greeted him with surprise and ask
ed what was the matter.
I'm going home to die" said the old
man with lamentable face. Fell into
the creek and i m lucky II reach home
before my rheumatism burns the life
out of me-"
Half a mile down the road he met

Up in the northern part of Michigan,
aere Little Traverse bay washes the
shores of Charlevoix county, there
flows a crooked stream to which some
exile from the Old Sod gave the name
of Boyne river. 1t rises. a limpid trickle
of water, among the rocks Of a wild
valley, hemmed in by precipitous hills.
Minor currents, dashing down through
the forests, augment its volume until,
within few miles Of its source, it has
swollen TO a strong and rapid stream,
making a broad path down the valley
For many years it has been known to
a few wide-rangng sportsmen, who
have been drawn thither by the fight
ing qualities of the speckled trout that
swarm, alone of all fish, in its waters,
and by the abundance of game-grouse,
woodcock and duck, fox and deer-that
range its unpeopled forests. But now
Boyne river is gaining a fame that bids
fair to become national, and to attract
so many persons thither that it will no
longer be sportsman's paradise. If
the reports of scores of people, both
natives and pilgrims, are to be believ-
ed, this Boyne Water of the north is
natural elixir of life.
Tradition of Boyne Falls, the princi-
pal settlement on the stream, has it
that the Indians have known for hun

bathing suit. On the ship the captain
may rig up a swimming tank and the
bathing suit is also needed at various
coast resorts.
While baggage for ship travel is not
serious matter, one does not want TO
be burdened with more clothes than
are necessary, so it is advisable to take
only one sort of costume for each oc-
casion. An added reason is that 1t is
interesting to replensih ones wardrobe
at various points and furnishes quaint
experiences among the Orientals.
On the other hand. one wants to be
we'll provided with all the ribbons and
gloves likely to be needed for the whole
trip, as such things are inordinately
expensive. So are pins, needles, safe
ty-pins, elastic, and those little con-
veniences on which comfort so largely
depends. When one is saving to buy
curios 1t seems cruel to pay fifty cents
for bottle of ammonia and twenty
five cents for little jar of vaseline'
1t Is fascinating to bargain with Chi
nese and Japs, but cold blooded per-
formance to pay out money to the Eng
lish and German shops in the Orient.
1t should be added that one need not
take laundering into consideration. In
the East 1t is one of the great indus
tries and is very cheap. The limit OF
cheapness is reached at Canton, where
only one cent a piece is charged. Ma
Mia touches the highest point at 20
cents piece-this under the stimulus
of American ideas. White duck, pique
and flannel skirts can be nicely worn
on shipboard. as the decks are scrupu-
lously clean. White is preferred to color

suitable negligee, numerous changes
OF underclothes, and If by any posi-
bility extra warmth is needed il is best
provided by light weight flannels, which
occupy the least amount of space. One
light cloth walking costume, with a
half dozen shirt waists, will do for the
voyage by day. Foulard silk or nuns
yelling is most suitable for the evening,
as 1t will not need pressing, or have
the freshness taken out by the salt air,
as muslins would. A light cloth Jacket
macintosh and hat or cap with
brim meet all the greater requirements
of the voyage.

to take an interest, and tried the
bathing. Almost invariably 1t proved
a cure for those suffering from sciau-
ca. rheumatism, rheumatic govt, mus
cular stiffness and similar ailments,
and it's rejuvenating effect upon old
people was astonishing. Fame of the
water began to spread, and people
came from other towns to battle in it.
This summer there have been big bath
ing parties every day, going into the
Boyne either to be cured Of rheumatic
troubles or as a tonic.
At no other watering place In the
world is the manner of bathing so pic
turesque. Special apparel is tabooed:
one must take the water IN his or her
ordinary garb. About o'clock in the
afternoon the bathers gather on the
bank a favorite place being The
Flume," where the water pours down
over a sharp incline of glistening white
rock, into a deep pool. The men wear
old suits of clothes, with shoes and
stockings, and the women dress usual
ly in Bingham. Out into the stream
they wade until the swift, cool current
is ripping around their knees. This
is all that is necessary. There they
stand for FIVE minutes absorbing the
virtues of the stream. Soma sit down
