There is but one cabin, First Cabin. THE MAIN SALOON is situated on the Upper Deck, amidships, forwai ot the machinery and kitchen, thus avoiding all obnoxious odors. A skyligl m the centre, and portholes at the sides, give perfect ventilation and ligh while at night the saloon is illuminated by electricity. A Library and a Piano will assist passengers in passing the tim pleasantly. THE SMOKING ROOM is a very cozy place, light and well ventilated with entrance at either side direct from the covered Promenade Deck. THE STATEROOMS to the number of seventeen, are all situated amid ships on the Main Deck, the inside rooms receiving almost as much light ant air from above, by means of skylights opened and closed at will, as the out side rooms do through their portholes. Each stateroom contains the usua two stationary berths and a sofa, the latter being arranged so as to be usei for a berth, thus making it possible to accommodate either two or threi passengers in each stateroom. Every room has a fold-up washstand so tha no space is unnecessarily wasted; in short, no expense has been spared in acquiring the most modern and most improved fittings and furnishings, great care having been taken to fill every want that may tend to the comfort of passengers. ELECTRIC LIGHTS are in every stateroom as well as throughout the ship. BATHROOMS. The ladies’ and gentlemen’s bathrooms are situated in close proximity to all the passengers’ staterooms. THE CUISINE is first-class, and equal to that of the best English hotels. A large assortment of wines, liquors and cigars is always on hand at very reasonable prices.

RAILWAYS IN EUROPE. European railways generally have three classes. First class has seats furnished more or less luxuriously ; in second class the cushions are upholstered with cloth and are comfortable, while third class is usually provided with plain wooden benches. The latter, although much frequented by the masses, is used by tourists principally for very short journeys only. Every train has smoking compartments, as well as compartments reserved exclusively for ladies traveling alone. PROMENADE DECK. THE MEDITERRANEAN ROUTE TO ITALY and to the RIVIERA and SOUTHERN FRANCE in general, as well as to SWITZERLAND, AUSTRIA, EGYPT and the HOLY LAND, is more and more appreciated every year as being the route par excellence. Tlu Prince Line steamers keep well below the fog belt, where storms are unusual. It is here one generally encounters clear skies by day, nights that are sublime, and mirror-like seas. In winter, after the first day out from New York, one’s time is spent almost entirely on deck, and in summer the air is balmy and invigorating, making life a constant joy during the voyage. The voyage between New York and Naoles by Prince Line steamers takes about fifteen days but the time passes rapidly, owing to the breaks in the journey. The first stop made is at St. Michaels in the Azore Islands, where passengers are given about four to five hours ashore. About four days later the steamer passed in view of Gibraltar, and enters the Mediterranean Sea. At Naples the steamer remains about two days, giving passengers ample opportunity to visit the sights afforded by the city and its vicinity, passengers having tho 6 THE AZORES.

St. Michaels is the Island at which the Prince Line reamers touch. It is the largest, and distant about 2,330 miles ast of New York, and about 700 miles west of Portugal. f s closest continental neighbor. The capital of St. Michaels is Ponta Delgada, with [ Population of 17,635. It is at this port that the Prince Line 'earners land their passengers, remaining long enough to give jurists en route to Italy a chance to go ashore for a few hours id thus pleasantly break the ocean journey. Many tourists .id invalids prefer to remain at St. Michaels. One always .ads here a number of American and English people, and the mrtuguese society is hospitable and entertaining.

For the inval there is no better health resort in the world than the Hot Springs of Si Miguel in the Valle das Furnas. To quote Dr. Herman Canfield, of Brist R. I.: “Comfortable carriages, drawn by three mules abreast, make t trip over the mountains in a day, over a road built and maintained by tl government. It is a delight, indeed, to bowl along with a smooth, compa pumice-stone macadam under wheel. Up hills and around the sides i mountains, now down into deep gorges, over ridges spanning roaring streai or rocky gullies ; now touching the very sea and catching the dashir spray, then up again 2,000 feet ; orange groves on every side ; banana loquats and pineapples ; strange trees and trees familiar, and shrubs, flowJ and ferns everywhere. At last we dash down a narrow gorge and come out t the shore of the lake of the Valley of the Furnas, with the peaks of Cafahot: Vara, etc., towering 3,500 feet into the sky beyond. The springs of Las Furm are efficacious in the following diseases : First. In rheumatism, chronic cases always recover, and what is mo, remarkable is the permanency of the cure, a number of cases being reports in which there has been no relapse up to date, a period of ten years c thereabouts. If the waters can be persisted in, ordinary chronic rheumatis seems to be entirely cured. Every case improves. Second. Sure relief from dyspepsia and intestinal troubles. Third. Skin diseases are for the most part cured, almost always benefited, especially eczema. Fourth. To my mind this is a perfect heaven for a neurasthenic. My own experience was a very happy on After along period of nervous suffering following a severe attack of la grippe, I reached the Springs January Is a complete wreck. In the first thirty days I gained thirty -four pounds, and all the neurasthenic symptom disappeared in proportion. On January 1st I could not walk a quarter of a mile. January 30th I walked twelv miles without discomfort. The expense of the trip is very small; three hundred dollars will cover all expenses J the passage there and return and a sojourn of three months. Five hundred dollars will allow one to do it like a lord i WOMEN OF THE AZORES.

There is also frequent communication between the Azores and England, and Lisbon, Portugal. I The lovely legions of Southern Europe are too well known to require any but a passing allusion. One ,;5pot is more beautiful than the other, and in many places are found gathered the most fashionable societv A almost every nation, living, according to their means, in princely or less pretentious style. The Riviera is composed of the narrow sea border of Liguria, divided by Genoa into an Eastern and Western half, and is one of i . m ost picturesque regions in all Italy. It affords a delightful variety of landscapes, bold and lofty promen- ories, alternating with wooded hills, and richly cultivated plains near the coast. At places the road passes precipitous and frowning cliffs, washed by the surf of the Mediterranean, while the summits are crowned with he venerable ruins of towers erected in bygone ages for protection against pirates. At other places extensive, plantations of olives, with their grotesque and gnarled stems, bright green pine forests, and luxuriant growth of nigs, vines, citrons, oranges, oleanders, myrtles, and aloes greet the view, and even palms are occasionally seen jdany of the towns are charmingly situated in fertile spots, or on picturesque hills; others, commanded by ancient l trongholds, are perched like nests among the rocks. The air throughout the year is soft and balmy and the perfect jlramage makes all the larger cities healthy at all seasons, and many tourists, aware of this, are now spending their rummer holidays in this picturesque and entrancing neighborhood. 9 WINTER VIEWS ALONG THE RIVIERA.
