It is only the elect among travelers who find their way to Berchtesgaden. in Bavaria, not very far from Sals- burg, writes a correspondent of the London Tatler. If you drive in a car- riage from thence by road, you are stopped midway at a customs house and ilnd yourself leaving Austrian ter- ritory for Bavarian. Berehtesgaden is beautifully situated, and it has two noteworthy attractions, one of them the Konigsee, thought by many the most beautiful lake in the world, and the other the salt mines. A visit to the salt mines gives one an exciting hour. Many tourists take tickets at the top, but many of the fair sex are deterred from using them when they see the costume that is rendered essential to the visit. In other words, they have to abandon skirts and adopt a special “rig out.” One may frequently observe that ladies, torn between what they consider modesty and curiosity, go two or three times to the mines before they acrew up their courage ufliciently to don the attire and pay the visit. The necessity for women to abandon the usual garment arises from the fact that a portion of the mine can only be visited through the medium of a kind of slide. This slide is, however, the best thing in the whole visit. It is a great deal better than tobogganing, and, as one is in the dark and with only a candle fastened to one’s dress, it is not a little exciting. The strangest incident in the trip is that of the illumination of what is called “the salt lake.” You are rowed across this lake in almost absolute darkness, the illumination being pro- vided by a number of miners’ lamps round the lake, and the journey has a very considerable weirdness. The next best experience in the trip is the final ride into daylight on the trucks. This is a Journey through absolute darkness for a very considerable way until final- ly one sees a little gleam of light in the distance. Altogether, as I have said, between the tohoggan slide, the ear ride and the hunt journey across the salt lake the visitor to the Berch- tesgndeu salt mine has plenty for his money. lint. curiously enough, h ees \‘t-ry littl- 54.1..

It bends its slender frond and starts a root by extending: the tip of the mid- rib. So it sets up a new plant and is anchored fast on all sides by its rooted frond tips, covering the ground with a rich carpet of vcrdure. The variety of runners along the ground is as great as the climber. All motion of the plant is a form of growth. The plant grows by day and by night, but more by day, as light and heat are incentives to growth. ' years ago. Counterpane. The word “counterpane” is a corrup- tion of “counterpoint,” which is itself a corruption of the Latin term “on! cita," which means a wndded wrapper or quilt. When the stitches were ar- ranged in patterns. it was called “cul- cita puncta.” which in French became “courte pointe.” corrupted into “con- tra pointe. counterpont." where 90““- is pronounced “poyn,” corrupted Into “pane."

I was stationed at a place called Ka- baira, the then ‘farthest out’ trading station on the whole island, and as I had but little work to do I found plenty of time to study bird life in the vicinity. Parrots of several varietlu, all of beautiful plumage, were plentl- ‘ ful. and great flocks of white cocks- toos frequented the rolling, grassy downs which lay between my home and the‘ German head station in Blanche bay, twenty miles distant, while the heavy frost of the littoral was the haunt of thousands of pigeons. These pigeons, though not so large as the Samoan or eastern Polynesian bird. formed an agreeable change of diet for usyhite traders, and by walking about fifty yards from one's door half a dozen or more could be shot in as many minutes. “My nearest neighbor was a German, and one day when we were walking along the beach toward his station I noticed some hundreds of pigeons fly down from the forest, settle on the margin of the water and drink with apparent enjoyment. The harbor at this spot being almost landlocked and the water as smooth as glass and with- out the faintest ripple, the birds were enabled to drink without wetting their plumage. My neighbor, who had lived many years in New Britain, told me that this drinking of sea water was common to both cockatoos and pigeons alike, and that on some occasions the beaches would be lined with them, the cockatoos not only drinking, but bath- ing, and apparently enjoying them- selves greatly. During the next six months, especially when the weather was calm and rainy, I frequently no- ticed pigeons and cockatoos come to the salt water to drink. “At first I thought that as fresh water in many places bubbled up through the sand at low tide the birds were not really drinking the sea water, but by watching closely I distinctly saw them walk across these tiny run- nels without making any attempt to drink. Then, too. the whole of the Gazelle peninsula is cut up by count- less streams of water, and rain falls throughout the year as a rule. What causes this unusual habit of drinking sea water? Another peculiarity of the New Britain and New Ireland pigeon is its fondness for the chili pepper berry. During three months of the year, when these berries are ripe, the birds’ crops are full of them, and often their flesh is so pungent and smells so strongly of the chili as to be quite un- eatable.”~ Naturally.

It often seems to work though no one has ever told why. VVhen mothers are worried h5cause the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott’s Emul- sxon. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott’s Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypOphosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be- cause it is so ‘perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and thin children Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat- ment.
