"Another wonderful discovery has
been made and tli3t too by a lady in
this county. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood its severer
tests, but her vital organs were un
dermined and death seemed immi
nent. For three months she cough
ed incessantly and could not sleep.
She bought of us a bottle of Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consump
tion and was so much relieved on
taking first dose that she slept all
night and with one bottle has been
miraculously enred. Her name is
Mm. Lmher Lutz." Thus write W.

colonial days, we are compelled, in
order to uet; away, to run this
formidable gauntlet. The main dif
lerence is that, instead of each band
holding a club, each expects to hold
a franc before the carriage door
closes on us. One reason why our
hotel bill is not as large as it would
have been iq America is that the
landlord has 'shifted to his guests'
hands the responsibility of paying
the servants. This is the universal
custom in Europe and the mo6t
graceful thing to do in such matter
is to accept the inevitable and sub
mit to the imposition.
It is not everyone who will do
this, however. One gentleman,
sometime kgo, took his revenge in a
peculiar and effective way. Having
learned that, at every hotel, he
would be charged enough for the
use of two candles to more than
cover ihe actual cost of a dozen, he
made it a practice always before
leaving a hotel to pack away in his
traveling bag the candies which he
hid lighted over night. The supply
rapidly accumulated until, at length,
he reached 'Antwerp where he put
up at the Hotel St. Aidoinne pre
paratory to sailing the next day. In
the morning he called for his bill in
a manner sufficiently ostentatious to
arouxe the expectations of the host
of servants w ho make their living
by preying on the public in this ex
cellent hotel. Accordingly, when
he started for his carriage, he found
two unusually long lints of expect
ants awaiting his departure. --Alis
hands were concealed under his
loose over-coat and as he passed
down the line, with stately step, he
placed in each outstretched hand a
candle.
Put, lo come back to ourselves !
A lapid drive through the wiuding
streets of the quaint old city of
Antwerp .brings us to the wharves
of the International Steamship Com
pany and, a few minutes later, we
find ourselves on board the 'Western
land, the finest steamer of the lied
Star Line.
All night long the creaking of
derricks, the rolling of wagons and
other noises incidental to the last
hours of preparation for thede
parture of a large ocean steamship,
render sleep out of the question and
hence il is that five o'clock fiuds me
dressed and pacing the 'deck impa
tiently. The wind whistles iu the
rigging-and showers of snow beat in
my lace as I impatiently await the
command for unloosing the cables.
On the wharf a gas pipe whose open
end is fit teen feet above the floor'
pours up a huge column of ignited
gas which r.oars and flickers atd
throws a ruddy glare over the entire
ship, painting the sea blood red and
bathing the decks iu light. O
iAi last we are oit. i lie main
deck is coveted with snow, but the
sun shines brightly on the red tiled
houses of Iloilaud as we steam rap
idly down the river Scheldt. At
Flushing we drop our river pilot
and with him go our farewelljetters.
Now we are fairly out upon the
horrible North Sea. I say "horri
ble'' advisedly. I have not been
upon its stormy bosom more than an
huur betore I find, myself in close
proximity to the rail thinking what
a melancholy world this is.
-As night approaches we are pass
ing between Dover and Calais and
are signaling, by meaus of a dozeo
little flags, the signal station at the
former place. Passing through the
English Channel we find the weather
more agreeable and when we reach
the Lizard and signal our farewell
to Europe, we imagine that we have
nrmiv on our ea lens

but, alas! we have been a trifle pre-
mature : for as soou as we are fairU-
out upon the open sea a sale strikes i

j steel bow plunges down into the on-
jcomirg Loud with a roar ; ihe water
1 pours over the decks iu a torrent :
the spray flies high into the air wet-!

ting the rigging and half' drowning
every one wno h3ppens to be on
jdeek. Let us go below, if we are
I not there already. The dinner gong

good ship shivers : so do we. Bown
goes the bow 3gain and, of course,
up comes the stern like the uther
end of a see saw. The propeller,
lifted high into the air, whirls madly
round and round with a terrible
rumble that shakes the wh-.de vessel
like an earthquake. The table
rfltote dinner has lost its charms for
cs. We feel that there is imminent!
necessity tor our leaving the table.
Every one is in the same mind and a!
mad scramble-is made lor the door. ;
As we pass out I observe that the!
t Captain is helping himself liberally to
. sauer-kraut while a disdainful smile
floats from one corner of his month

It takes
us several nours to recover our
equilibrium, but at length we re

of the convalescent.
And so it goes for ten Irng days :

vviin a peculiar sensation
The dull
thud of the machinery is hushed.
The clauking and creaking of der
ricks is heard, mingled with short
sentences of command. Through
my port-hole I see that we are at a
stand still. We are at Quarantine.
Hurrying up on deck I see on every
side the beautiful land. Every one
is excited. "Home" is the word
which is on every tongue. Near
us rises the great Statue of Liberty.
A forest of masts surrounds us on
every side. Before us lies the great
metropolis. Never was a group of
homesick boys so excited by the
sight of home. A dignified Jrrofes-

the deck.
Now they are lowering the gang
plank and the Captain, the king of
the ship, shakes the hands ot his
passengers and bids us all farewell.
From the wharf friends are franti
cally waving their bats and umbrel
las to us and, a few momeuts later,
we find ourselves once more in a
land which our life abroad has
taught us to lovp as a whole, with
out regard to sectional or party
lines, and to think ot under the one
comprehensive word, "Home "
