A Tip for Seagoers.

A surgeon on the naval hospital ship
Solace has remedy for seasickness which
should be of interest to folks who are 60
ing on winter cruises and are apprehensive
that they may have to stay below deck
most of the time.
1t is simply concoction of lemon and
ginger, and may be taken in the form of
lemon soda and ginger ale, or dash of
settler may be added to little lemon
juice and Jamaica ginger. The doctors
idea is that the lemon causes a greater Sc
erection of the gastric juice and that the
ginger serves as a stimulant, the need of
which can be best appreciated by the
victim.
The remedy has been used on the Solace
with various degrees of success, and it is
not pretended that it will prove effective
for everybody. 1t should be taken in
small doses as soon as trouble seems to
be approaching, although it may be OF
some use at well-advanced stage.
Uninviting as the beverage may seem,
it can be made after little experimenting
so that it is very agreeable. The lemon
juice and ginger is not so palatable as the
soda, but has been found to give better
results. Usually it is best to make it with
more ginger than lemon and with lust
enough carbonic water to make it drink
able.-New York Sun.

When Postmaster Haskins gets set

the government has taken time enough
in the matter, and that according to

ENJOYING MUSIC.
America Has Strange Idea Of It, Says
Frenchman.

Compared with some other countries,
America is not unsteady educated.
That, is to say, the great mass of the
people do not love music for its own
sake, but rather because it signifies
something else-a holiday, a picnic, or
a ''show.h A writer illustrates this
national characteristic by an account
of a visit to park where there was
to be a municipal concert. The expe-
rience is described by Frenchman,
who went as a guest of his friend, the
resident New Yorker. "Apprehending
a measure of enjoyment says the for
eigner, 81 placed myself at his disposal,
and soon we arrived at the place in the
