China, India and continental Europe, with
a wide detour through the western ranch
and Indian country and Mexico, gathering
doll lore and dolls themselves TO the num-

Miss Dawson was one OF the early pro-
motors Of the historical pageant of dolls
that took place last autumn at Guild
ford. England. The pageant, containing
a thousand or so dolls, was arranged
in groups showing the history Of Eng
land from the Saxon period to the Vic
toriAn days. People Of leisure, artistic
ability and capital and sometimes of all
three Wed with one another in producing
accurate and artistic groups. and the re-
suit was an imposing and instructive
sight.
About 200 OF the principal actors in
the pageant carefully packed in tissue
paper, are now on their way to Doll

presides. Here they are TO perform an
educational mission.

Life ON an African Steamer.

AAAE oA IN AANANaA
Travelling on these African steamers Is
It seems to me. much more agreeable than
on the great floating hotels which cross
the Atlantic. The ship which brought me
from South Africa was almost 60 feet
long, sixty feet wide. and more than
forty feet deep. The finst-clAss cabins
were on the upper deck. and the ventila-
ton was such hat we were perfectly COM
Portable when we crossed the equator. The
ship rolled abit. but only a few OF US were
seasick. and the oyage was enjoyable
from one end 20 the other.
Leaving the Cape OF Hope, we ala
not stop until be reached Madeira, four
teen days later. During this time the PAS
sengers became wei acquainted, and all
seemed anxious 20 have a good time

ing about IS apiece, was taken up from the

formed a purse OF several hundred dollars.
which was used as premiums for games
and contests. into which all the passengers
entered. Il was a sort OF Olympic games
held IN midocsan, IN which both ladies and
gentlemen Joined. There was considerable
rivalry between the first and second
classs, and Zach had its champions. Among
the sports entered into by the ladies were
the spoon and esq sprints and the potato
race. In the spoon and egg race. a hen
egg is laid on the deck at q certain spot

Mediterranean Africa.

Mediterranean Africa is very easily
reached from Europe. The French have
a number Of lines which steam from Mar
settles to Algiers, Oran and Tunis, and
there are italian ships which make the
same ports. One can go almost daily in
twenty-four hours from France to Algiers,
and the trip TO Tunis is not much longer.
There are ships sailing weekly from Naples
to Tunisia. and there is a line Of vessels
which goes from Tunis to Tripoli, calling
at sfaX and Gabes. and thence going on
by way Of Tripoli to Malta. These boats

railroad there belonging 20 the French.
which takes one inland almost 70 HRrrar
and from there all travel must be on
camels or mules.
There are also regular steamers sailing
from Bombay TO the ports Of East Africa,
and a number Of large vessels which make
regular trips to Australia via Cape Town..
The White Star line has such a service.
composed Of steamers OF about 1900 tons
each; the New Zealand Shipping company
and Shaw G. Seville nave similar vessels.
On these ships the passage 20 Cape Town
costs from 800 to $780, and to Australia
perhaps $40 or $50 more. Indeed one can
make an ocean trip around the world in
that way. taking passage from London to
New Zealand. and thence going on TO Eng
land by the strait OF Magellan. I

Steamships which Go Around Africa.
l cannot imagine a better health trip
than a sea voyage around Africa. There
are several lines which go down one coast
and up the other. One Of the best is q
German African line by which one starts
at Hamburg and can go either east or west.
If he chooses the western route he calls
at Las Palmas In the Canaries and then
goes on 10 Cape Town, the voyage there
taking rwenty-three or twenty-four days.
Leaving the Cape OF Good Hope the ship
next calls at Port Elizabeth, the Liverpool
of South Africa and then goes on to East
London and Durham, the capital of Natal.
The two next ~stoppages are in Portuguese,
East Africa, and then come Mozambique,
Chinde and Oar es Salaam, the capital Of
German East Africa. From there the ships
go on to Zanzibar. Tanga and Mombasa,
and thence north to Alden and on up the
Red sea and suez canal TO the Mediter-
rsnean. They go from Port Said to Naples,
and thence out back through the straits
of Gibraltar 10 Hamburg. The whole trip,
including board, costs just about $500 first
