ACATION is a cessation of work, and a diver- sion of the mind into new and pleasant channels. While it may seem like idleness to loll around at the seashore, the country farm or among the mountains, it is a repairing and oiling of the machin- ery, necessary to the better accomplishment of work. If you can find rest and recreation during the sultry months, you gain thereby. A water trip best quiets the nerves, rests the body and afloat, we cut loose diverts the mind. We leave carping cares behind as soon as and drift away from worries and anxieties of office, study, work- shop and household, are interested in the changing scenes and in the enjoyment of solid comfort, float lazily and dream. We revel in the freedom, the dolce far niente, the pure, bracing air, the beauties of sky and sea, watch with fascination the leaping spray at the steamer's bow, fall to noting the ever-changing billows, and enter into projects for amuse- ment started by others, or, originate them ourselves with the zest of a child.
On board a steamer we live a new, novel and fresh life, such as is never experienced on land. To those who enjoy great Nature's work, we would say:
Mackinac Island is among the grandest and most romantic of spots. Visitors are voluble with story and legend of every bold cliff and cave and fallen rock around the island, and many a pencil, brush and camera are brought to bear on the wonders found. Every section of the country sends visitors annually. The invalid is attracted by the wonderful purity of the atmosphere, the climate being noted as a sanitarium for hay fever and bronchial affections. Great numbers visit this region to escape from or get relief of these maladies; many experience an improvement on entering Lake Huron. No other resort possesses such entertaining features. The surrounding country offers endless attractions to the adventurous. Gamey fish lurk in all the inland lakes and rivers with which the State of Michigan abounds. Its forests are the hiding places of furred and feathered creatures, which afford fine sport.
Mackinac Island is reached by the Detroit and Cleveland Steam Navigation Company, by the pleasant lake route, with a splendid line of palatial iron steamers, the largest, swiftest and most luxurious on fresh water, forming the only comfortable route to this island resort. These floating palaces were recently built especially for the summer tourists' travel. The forward and after saloons, in mahogany and walnut respectively, are magnificently appointed and tastefully decorated, and their elegant rooms and parlors are replete with modern improvements. The lower saloons are devoted to dining halls, which entirely separate the culinary departments from the main saloons, a desirable feature only possible on these large side-wheel steamers. Their.bill of fare, which is equal to that of any first-class hotel, includes all the luxuries of the season, and the price charged barely meets the outlay. Berths are in rooms, an upper, single width, and a lower, double width, in each, are fur- nished with wire and hair mattrasses and Pullman blankets. These steamers have water tight compartments, and their teathering paddles give unusual speed, without jar or noise. This water trip cannot be excel'ed anywhere, and the round trip affords a daylight view of all the route. No more comfortable place can be found outside of one's own home in which to spend the sultry days, than on board these splendidly appointed steamers. The changing scenes and fresh, bracing air, will benefit many who vainly seek relief at physicians' hands, and physicians urgently recommend this particular trip.

ACKINAC ISLAND, the rock girt, fairy isle, sitting like an emerald gem in the clear, pellucid wave, rises gradually and majestically from the crystal waters, which cover but cannot conceal the glistening, white .L. pebbly depths beneath. It is the central point of VA:LI.co. ARNS SOLTE the three great lakes. It knows no land breeze, hence the winds are always cool and refreshing, and seem incessantly tossing balls at each other. They no sooner cease blowing from Lake Michigan than they come from Lake Huron, and Lake Superior is never behind in the contest. Mackinac Island con- tains two thousand two hundred and twenty-one acres, of . which the national park comprises eight hundred and twenty- one, and the military reservation one hundred and three acres. The natural scenery is unsurpassed. Nature seems to have exhausted herself in the manifold objects of interest which meet the eye in every direction. The lover of Mother Earth will hardly grow weary of wandering through its shaded glens, and climbing over its rugged rocks, each day bringing to light some new object of beauty and interest. Longfellow, in his poem of "Hiawatha " has put into English verse some of its wild Indian legends, which people every rock and glen with spectral habitants. Hiawatha is the Mena-bosho of the Algonquins, and the Island of Mackinac was considered his birthplace.
If the poetic muses are ever to have a new Parnassus in America, they should certainly jix on Mackinac Island. Hygeia, too, should place her temple here, for it is one of the purest, dryest, clearest and most healthful of atmospheres. The Island shows unmista kable evidence of the water having once been two hundred and fifty feet above its present line. It is a mooted question whether the lake has fallen from its original level, or the island has, from some cause, been lifted up. Springs of water, clear and cold, may be found at the base of the high cliffs, and scattered through other localities.
Mackinac village is a perfect curiosity in itself. Situated at the foot of the bluff, upon the brow of which stands the fort, it extends for a distance of a mile along the beach. The buildings are a mixture of the modern and antique, some of which were brought from Old Mackinaw when the town and fort were removed from that point after the massacre of June 4, 1763. Many of the fences are of the original palisade style.
Schoolcraft, who visited it in 1820, says: "Nothing can exceed the beauty of this island." It is a mass of calcareous rock, rising from the bed of Lake Huren, and reaching a height of more than three hundred feet above the water. Some of its cliffs shoot up per. pendicularly, and tower in pinnacles like half ruined gothic steeples. It is cavernous in some places, and in these caverns the ancient Indians were wont to place their dead. Per- cions of the beach are level, and well adapted to landing from boats. The harbor at the south end is a little gem. In it, vessels can anchor and be sure of a holding, and around it, the little old fashioned French town nestles in primitive stule, while above frowns the fort, its white walls gleaming in the sun. The whole area of the island is one labyrinth of curious glens and valleus. Old fields appear in spots which were formerly cultivated by Indians. In some of them are circles of gathered stones, as if the Dru ds themselves had die't there. The soil, though rough, is fertile. The Island was formerly covered with a dense growth of rock maple, oak, iron wood, etc., and there are still parts of this ancient forest left, but all the southern limits exhibit a young growth. There are walks and winding paths of the most romantic character among its hills and precipices. From the eminences overlooking the lake can be seen magnificent views of almost illimitable extent.
