COMFORT FOR THE TRAVELLER.
European Pensions Convenient and

To the tourist contemplating a Eu-

the pension furnish a perfect solution
of the living questions, says Good
Housekeeping. Every prominent Eu-
ropean city is full of them, and there
are numerous reliable lists published.
The rates vary from 5 francs up to 10
or IL francs per day for stays for less
than ten days, with lower weekly
rates for longer periods. My wife and
1 found delightful places, easily, in
every city visited, at francs ($1.20)
never more than Z francs, per day,
all included. Our first experience was
in Naples, and the ease with which we
found accommodations and became
promptly settled and at home was a
revelation. Pensions differ but little
in the different cities of Italy, Switzer-
land, France and Germany, except in
the cooking, and it is quite possible
now to visit almost every leading
city in Europe and stop in every one
at your choice of a German, a French
or an English pension. We visited but
one where English was not spoken
by one or more attendants.

THE GATE OF EUROPE.
City of Buda Pesth Has Right to this
AppeIIation.

Buda Pesth, the Hungarian capital
is one of the handsomest cities in the
world. Its wide streets, bordered by
magnificent buildings, its parks, pal
aces, theaters, and last, but not least,
its luxurious cafes which have no
equal, can not fail to impress the visi-
tor with it's wealth and beauty.
The city is built on volcanic ground
and the internal fires are still smold-
ering. A visit to the ST. Lucas hot
sulphur baths across the Danube at
Buda might lead the visitor to think
that the Internal regions are not far
on, and indeed a humorous preacher
could make good use of this when
moralizing on the gay and luxuriant
life of the Pesth half of the CONSOLE
dated town. Another curiosity of the
spot is the natural aperient waters re-
nowned throughout the world, of
which Apenta is the leading one. The
Apenta accumulates in wells dug for
the purpose, and absorbs from the soil
the salts that make it a valuable pur-
gative.
To one returning from the east by
the Oriental Express, Buda Pesth ap-
pears like the gate Of Europe, as it
really is, for this was the last outpost
of the Turks in their march westward.

suTTER MADE or cocoANur.


A new butter is now being made
from the milk of the cocoanut. This
milk, when subjected to a temperature
of over IS c., runs into a yellow oil
which is imported in great quantities
from India and Africa. The better
qualities of it are obtained from Cey-
lon, Cochin-China and Australia The
nut produces 60 per cent of oil and
one acre of land planted with cocoa
nut trees would produce over 400
pounds of OIL This has hitherto been
used for fats for soap, or for machinery
oil, and the better qualities employed
in the manufacture of textile goods.
In France this oil is now subjected
to a special treatment and converted
into butter.
DIR. Heuner, a German chemist. pro-
poses to buy up all the cocoanut oils
and transform them into what he
terms vegetable butter"
The cocoanut butter, like that made
from cows milk, contains z per cent
of soluble acids. 1t will keep from
fifteen to twenty days without show
ing any sign of acid reaction, and it
contains from twenty-five TO thirty
times less water than ordinary butter
while its slowness in oxidizing makes
it specially suitable for pastry and
cakes, as they will not get stale sc
quickly when made with it as with
other butter.
Another advantage claimed for the
cocoanut butter is that it seems to be
an antiseptic medium, while milk is
most favorable to the culture of mi
crobes. At the central hospital OF
Vienna and in various hospitals in
Switzerland experiments have been
made with this new butter and the
results have been pronounced satisfac-
tory.

that she built in London several years

the habit of turning her property into

the approach of grim poverty. Last

large sum in very short time with
