Lesson That Tir- ed, Exhausted Men‘ and W0- men Should Follow. The spring is the season when nau- tm'e mopmes for summer. All the trees'and plants are filled with new sap to build and brace them up to withstand the coming hot season. Without new sap in the spring a. plant would wither and die beneath the midsummer sun. It is the same with men and women: All pnysiâ€" cians are agreed that everyone needs Probably the most remarkable lake in the World is one with a coating of salt that completely con- ceals the water. It may be seen at any time during the year. fully ex- posed, being even at its best when the sun is shining directly upon it This wonderful body of water is one of the saltiest of the salt lakes and is situated near Obdorsk, Siberia. The lake is nine miles wide and seventeen long. and within the memâ€" ory of man wasrnot entirely roofed over by the salt deposit. Originally evaporation ' played the most pro- minent part in coating the lake over with salt, bet at the present time the salt springs which surround it are adding“ fast to the thickness of the crust. In 1878 the lake fourtd an underground outlet into the river Obi. which lowered its surface about three feet. The salt crust was so thick, however, that it retained its own level, and now presents the curious spectacle of a. salt-roofed lake.

The hunting day at Sandring‘hnm usually begins at 11 o‘clock, when the King, simply clad in tWeeds, joins his guests at the appointed meeting place. In former years he usually walked with his guests from cover to cover, butthis last. spring he has more oftén ridden his hunt- ing pony. Forty or fifty boaters. strikingly uniforffied in blue blouses and low felt hats,â€"-tri1mned in royal scarlet, have boon spread through \Voll‘erton Woods, for instance, by the gamekeepers, and on a. signal begin their important Work of driv- ing the birds up to THE GUNS 01" THE HUNTERS The King is probably seated on his hunting stool, which is firmly fixed in the. ground by a single leg. Beâ€" hind him are loaders ‘with fresh guns, and in his hands the one with which he will make the first shot. His place is probably one of the worst in the shooting line, for he has no desire to kill a great number of birds. 11' one of his guests pro- tests. the King unSWers that as long as the others have good sport he is happy. At one o’clock a. simple hunting lunehron is served, the place de- pending on the direction which ,the hunters have taken. Perhaps it is in one of the cottages sentterul over the estate or in the rooms which he added to the station at Wolzletton when he was Prince of Wales, or even in a. tent set up in the field. The menu is never elaborate, Irish stew being a. favorite dish, or boiled beef and batter pudding. At four o’clock the shoot is over, and the game waggons gather up the birds or rabbits and carry them back to Sandringham, where they are on exhibition for a, time before going to the game lockers. No part of the bag is ever sold, but it is freely sent to rich and poor friends of the royal family and to charitap. organizations. The King has always given much attention to his preserves. and they are among the best stocked in the kingdom. Figures proving this are given by a writer in a recent num- ber of “Outing.” For the ten years ending in 1888 the bag ran from 6,-. 838 head to 8.641) annually, and since 1888 the bags have run from 10,000 that year to 20,000, of which not less than twmthinds are pheasants. “The King." says this writer, “norm-allows more than ten people to shoot at one time at Sandri-ng'ham, and the game book, an accurate record of all that is done, shows some remarkable bugs. 0n the coming of age of the late Duke of Clarence the bag for three days was within 150 head of 6.000. It is a. Singular fact that of the party of ten five of its members, four of them younger than His Majesty have died." 0n big shooting days there is only little more formality about the shooting. The women of the party uSually drive to the spot selected for luncheon, and often follow the hunters for the remainder of the afternoon. are seen on every hand, forchelling good sport on the morrow. ’ Naturally most of the guests at :1 royal hunting party bring their own guns. but if not provided there are scores to choose from in the King’s gunroom. TEL- guns usually come in sets of tluw‘. and are well balanced. accurate pieces. The collection of shooting irons, rifles, pistols and shotguns is most. complete. and in- cludes all the important English and American makes. THERE ARE MANY FINE GUNS which have been presented to the King from time to time. one in par- ticular, a double barrel. smooth bore. shot'g'un, made in Ghent, and presented by King Leopold of Bel- gium. It is wonderfully carved and mounted in silver. Shot Crocodiles on the Nile and Man~£1ating Tigers in 4 India. There is not a keener sportsman in all England than King‘ Edward VII.. and he is always sorry when an end comes to the hunting season in March. He will have little use for his favorite shotguns until next No- vember, when the royal family will again begin regular visits to Sand- ringham. in the county 01‘ Norfolk, where the King has his large game preserves. There has not been as much hunting there this season as usual. owing to the state of the King's health. but hunting was never better or the preserves in finer condition. says the New York Tribune. KING A KEEN SPORTSMAN. King Edward was taught to hum. by his fat-her, the Prince Consort, whose favorite sport was deerstalkâ€" ing in Scotland. After he learned to use a. gun, one of his owu was given to him. a. 2Ai-bore mumle loader, which is now prserved in the gun- room at Sandringham. It, has been used as a. practice weapon by other members of the family when they lnh come old enough to hunt, and will doubtless become a. historical na- tional possession. From Monday to Friday are the days when King Edward entertains his hunting friends. The Friday to Monday parties are usually made up of some. eminent, churchmen and cole- brities in literature and art. Unless otherwise arranged, the guests come down on regular trains. ulighting at Wolfcrton. the nearest station to San-dring'hum. It is a. beautiful drive to the gates of the Royal es- tate, through the very pick of Engâ€" lish highland scenery. There is a magnificent, View of the grim North Sea. and as one drives over the hard road rabbits. squirrels and pheasants EDWARD VII HAS NOT A FEW FINE BAGS TO HIS CREDIT. Wherever the King travelled as Prince of Wales he made up hunting parties. and went after the game of the country he was visiting. When he came to the United States he on- joyed sport on the Western plains. He has shot crocodiles on the Nile and man-eating tigers in India. He specially enjoyed He has had no end of exciting ad- ventures, and several times his life has been in danger. When still a young man, and a. guest at. a. hunt- ing party of the lute Emperor Louis Napoleon, he and his horse Were knocked over by an angry stag. While hunting tigers in chporc only his steady hand and eye brought him through in safety. He has al- ways been a remarkably good shot. and at the age of fifteen was accrch dited the best in his family.

Nature and man work together with uncommon accord in forming the celebrated "floating gardens" of the Lakes Chalco and Xochimilco, near the City of Mexico. An Eng- lish naturalist, who recently visited them 'and found them a. paradise, tells how .they grow. Floating clumps of entangled peat, moss, rushes and grass are caught, com- bined and anchored by stakes, or long saplings of willows and pop- lars. which are driven into the muddy bottom, where they soon take root. Fertile mud is then ladled up and heaped on the float; until a real island is formed, which is quickly transformed into a. garden where are grown flowers, melons, gourds and other kinds of produce which are daily carried to market through a. canal leading into the city. There are hundreds of such gmdcns on the lakes. They Tone Up the Kidneys, Er.- suring Pure Blood, Good Cir- culation, and as a Conse- quence, Vigor and Energy.
