When the allied armies marched into Pekin and raised the siege of the for eign legations. Bilkington trailed in the wake of the columns, says a writer in Outing. The editor of London il- lustrated weekly had allowed him to escape in an unguarded moment. and he came to Iaku bar on British trans port He advanced to Tientsin with the Indian Field Post outfit, and the good natured chaps of this service for warded him to Pekin, where he was turned loose to forage for himself. Rilkington was an accident as q war correspondent; as campaigner he was positively a crime. He had never be fore been beyond the suburbs of Lon don, he had never ridden horse, and as for getting food otherwise than by ordering it in 8 respectable restaurant from bill of fare, his experience was a blank. A long, emaciated, helpless figure of Cockney, weighed down with the bulkiest camera ever seen outside photographer studio this alleged correspondent was wandering through the clamorous streets of footed Pekin, searching for assistance, when I was luckless enough to scrape ac- quaintance with him. He was as much out of place in this rough and tumble game as a ribbon counter clerk in a cavalry charge. Bilkington was look ing for a restaurant in city where not q European was to be found save be. ! hind the legation defenses and in the camps of the allied troops; a city plum. dered and scourged by Boxers, and haIt
 deserted by the native population.

Dandeaux, they were followed by
Charles Armstrong. Then comes the
last proprietor, Mr.. Frank Rothwell,
brother of Mr.. George G. Rothwell,
the well-knOwn farmer of near Smyr-
ma. He kept up the place during '92-
'93 when the causeway was again
washed away. Several attempts have
been made since that date to repair if,
but the necessary funds were lacking
and the property that not less than
$4,000 had been expended on, was
recently sold, containing the famous
old hotel and 40 acres of land to Mott,
Otis and Cardrey Co., proprietors of
Woodland, for 81, 100.
Last Remaining Vestage Now Torn Down.
Gideon E. Rothwell took up resi-
dence IN the hotel acting as watchman
until 1898. After that date the proper
ty rapidly went down. Doors, wiz
dows and lumber were carried awav
by unscrupulous persons. Most Sc
rious of all was the rapidity the water
line was coming near the building.
So the owners decided that the only
way to save their property was to
move it to Woodland. The famous
old four-stOry building. containing AZ
rooms was torn down last February,
and will be removed to Woodland
Beach by means of lighters, to repair
the hotel there and to build summer
cottages. Thus the last remaining
vestage of old Collins Beach is gone,

have lost him we feel our loneliness.

Beach. In 1S49 the owner Mr.. Geo.
Collins conceived the idea of making
public watering place, but it was not
until the following year that these
plans were fulfilled, when the hotel
known as the Hygenia House and
other buildings were erected, and Mr..
Collins son, George d. Collins. who
still resides in Philadelphia, at the
advanced age of so years, was the
first proprietor. Under his direction
a pier was built in 1856. The "Dal-
phin, "Jersey Blue" and "Hefen
Gettey," facetiously called "Helen
Forget U.s." were the pioneer steam
ers to land there. They were the old
sidewheelers of the type in use on the
Delaware at that date.
However, during the winter of 1856
81 huge ice pack formed around the
pier, pulling Mp the pilings and carried
it bodily out to sea This was the
first of the long line of disasters that
Collins Beach has gone through.
Captain Peter Carr Popular "fIOst."
In 1851 Mr.. Collins was succee ded
by Captain Peter Carr, father of Mr.
W. H. Carr of Smyrna, who held
forth until 1860 when he was succeeded
by Captain Lew COverdale, who held
out throughout the dark days of the
Civil War. Shortly after the close of
the war, Frank Collins, brother of
George d. Collins, purchased the en-
tire property and run it until June
1878, when it was leased to Levi C

COLLINS BEACH AND

BY c. AVERY BELL.

The passing of Collins Beach is re.
GREETED by all who have ever visited
that once famous resort. It's ideal
situation which was in the form of a
miniature cape where a cool refresh
ing breeze nearly always prevails, the
luxuriant shade trees and hard sandy
beach all went to make this one of
Delaware's finest resorts before it was
cut off from communications with
main land by the disastrous hurricane
of September 1873. Since that time
it has gradually gone down regardless
of the thousands of dollars expended
to keep it up, until the last remaining
vestage, the old hotel, was torn down
last February.
Used Many Years as a Public Resort.
The history of this resort and the
many vicissltudes it has gone through
are full of interest. No definite date
can be given, even among the oldest
inhabitants, when it first became a
public resort, but it dates back many
years previous to the building of the
old hotel in 1850. Years before that
date it was the custom of residents OF
the surrounding country to drive to
the beach and spend the day fishing
and bathing. jolly picnic parties

Grieves, who run it until September
of the same year. In the meantime
the pier shown in the cut had been
built and as the beach in front of the
Hotel was washing away, tons of
stones were filled in. This pier, how
ever, was swept away by the tidal
wave and hurricane of 1876, which is
spoken of to-day as the most disas-
trous storm in the history of Della
ware. All buildings except the Hy-
genia House were carried away. The
loss amounted to seven or eight thou
sand dollars. Since that time the
Bay has been rapidly washing the
banks away at this point.
Swept By Great TiIaI Wave of 1873.
The distance then from the Hotel to
the waters edge was about 100 yards.
When it was torn down it was scarce
ly fifty feet. Only few days after,
Mr.. Grieves left, another terrific hur-
ricane, the great storm of Septem Der
1878 swept over the Delaware. The
great banks of the meadow that were
built by the National Dredging Co.
were broken down and left Collins
Beach isolated on an island. The
break was repaired at cost of $64OO,
the same fall, and Captain Edgar Ty-
CERT was the proprietor during the sea-
son of 70 when the pier was again re-
built In 80 and 'S1 Levi Grieves
again took it up. During '92 and 'S3
William Campbell was proprietor, he

LOVE AND LOVE.

You see there is mighty difference between love ard love. There's the love which is affection, there's the love which is cupboard love and there's the love which is just simply love-love and nothing else. The first as you have truly observed, has it's roots in cor sangUinity or association, the second is lively hope of future comfits, and either is sufficiently applicable. But the third has it's roots apparently in mere hap-haZard and causelessness. and isn't applicable by any means whatsoever, and yet it is far and away the violentest of the three. It falls as the lightning from the clouds and strikes whom it will. Though l mix my metaphors fearlessly, like a man. I trust with your feminine intuition you follow me-

suddenly developed pair of very wide shoulders and that the wide shoulders are very muscular She has become a deep breather.'
 She will aiso find that she has sud- denly come into great strength of body for the springy walk does a great deal for a woman. It is the best developer that is known.
 There are certain exercises which the woman who wants a springy walk should take. One of these is the hip pety-hop exercise. To get this to per lection put on a gymnasium suit and stand upright and then "hippety- hop" as the children do. This is really a greater exercise than bicycling, for it brings more muscles into play.
 Health and beauty exercises are five in number. The first is the right angle exercise and it is to reduce the waist. Stand on one foot and let the other extend out at right angeles.
 The second is the bicycle exercise, and it is to strengthen a weak back Lie on the floor and cross the arms Work the feet as though peddling q bicycle.
 The third is the kitten and the ball exercise. Throw the ball and run af- ter 1t. Put on gymnasium suit and chase the ball around the room. Throw the ball and try to catch it. Roll the ball and try to catch it as it rolls. Keep on doing this until out of breath. This is to assist the heart and lungs.
 The fourth is an exercise which can be taken for slenderness. It is the hippety-hop exercise which reduces the weight. This exercise also makes the waist smaller; it also strengthens the muscles of the limbs and back.
 The fifth exercise for health and beauty is to fiatten the shoulders. Lie on the floor and lift the body using the muscles only. Let the abdomen ard chest rest on the floor. Kick the feet in the air and lift the head. This is the best thing known to straighten round shoulders.
 These five exercises for health and beauty are wonderful factors from a physical standpoint and the woman who follows them will find that she has saved a fortune in doctors bills and has gained a lot of good looks at the same time.-Philadelph Press.

NEW WALK COMES WITH SPRING
1t is the Most Graceful of All the Pads
 In Carriage.

Once a year a new walk comes in, The baby walk, with it's tiny steps, is well remembered, and so also is the athletic stride when every woman got there with startling suddenness. It is many day since the mincing step was the vogue, and indeed it dates back to the Grecian bend. And it is long time since half the women swayed as in a glide waltz, while the other half waddled when they attempted to glide.
 The new walk. the walk which will come in with the Easter hat, is the springy walk. And to walk it as i' should be walked one must learn to spring on the balls of the feet which are now to be used for bouncing pur- poses only.
 The advantages of this walk are found in it's exhiliration. It is also to be found in the splendid exercise which it gives to the muscles of the legs and back, and, more than all in the very graceful effect which it has upon a pretty girls bearing or general carriage.
 The woman who drags along, with out a trace of grace, will find herself suddenly becoming graceful if only she will learn to spring as she walks: and the women whose legs get sodden in the muscles will find that she be- comes more and more rested the more and more she walks.
 Tn the spring walk the weight of the body is divided 1ID. The burden is talk en from the legs and is thrown upon the back, yet the back does not become tired for the spring. comes partly upon the muscles of the abdomen and even the shoulders assist in the springiness. It is a general all-round springy mo- tion, one that rests the muscles and at the same time affords them sufficient exercise to carry the body along, in other words, to walk.
 One can tell the minute one walks with a woman whether she has acquir- ed the springy walk. Her steps are of the bouncing kind, and her body seems full of elasticity.
 To get this walk one must owT1>a pair of very fiat shoulders. One cannot have the springy walk if ones shoulders are round, or if ones body is bent for ward.
 To get this walk one must also have slender body, for no fat woman was ever able to make her footsteps elas- tic
 With fat shoulders and a slender figure any woman can learn the new walk. And as soon as she has acquir- ed it she will find that she has acquir ed along with it a great many other things.
 She will find that she has obtained d | long, slender waist and that this long slenderness is one of ner chief beau ties. She will also find that she has

 The greatest value of Liquozone lies in the. fact that 1t kills germs i'll the body without killing the tissues, too. And no man knows another way to do 1t.

 The result is a product that does what oxygen does. Oxygen gas, as you know, is the very source of vital ity. Liquozone is a vitalizing tome with which no other known product can compare. But germs are veget- ables; and Liquozone-like an excess of oxygen-is deadly to vegetal mat ter. Yet this wonderful product which no germ can resist, is, to the human body, the most essential element ot life
