The real sterling value of Atlantic City lies in its salubrity of climate, virtues as a sanitarium, its eligibility of location, for its visitors are
drawn from Philadelphia, New York, Trenton, Richmond, Baltimore, Pittsburg, St. Louis and other cities. These qualities, coupled with the
endeavors of the gentlemen who provide the many comforts at their grand hotels, and who, with tact, experience and liberal encouragement, have made their houses equal to any in the country, indeed, thanks to private enterprise, Atlantic City can justly claim to be the foremost sea-side resort in America, and yet it has not even now reached the zenith of its fame it will, as heretofore, go on improving, and be the means of bringing blessings to the additional thousands who will seek its hospitable shores.
;
Atlantic City does not claim any particular characteristics or class in The rich and the poor, the healthy and the invalid, are here all equally well treated, and, as long as they remain within bounds, can follow their inclinations, and enjoy themselves to their full. Unlike other sea-side resorts, at Atlantic City visitors of only moderate means will find
society.

that they can live here as cheaply as they can at home boarding can be obtained at many of the hotels (see Tariff, pages 6 and 7), or at cottages, on very moderate terms, whilst the stores provide goods at the same prices as at any other city or town. Although in Atlantic City no doubt pleasure does reign supreme, still religion has not been forgotten, for each denomination has its place of worship. (See pages 27 and 28.) One of Atlantic City's chief attractions is the "Board Walk," which is nearly three miles in length. It is built on the beach, on piles, and forms a splendid promenade. The only drawback to an uninterrupted view of the sea is the wooden erections that have been allowed to be built on the sea side of the walk but, as Neptune at times uses his mighty power and removes some of these unsightly objects, let us hope before long he will sweep the whole of them into his embrace. The first mtle of the walk, that nearest the inlet, is principally devoted to bath-houses. new iron pier has just been completed. It is one thousand feet in length, in width thirty feet, widening at the centre pavilion to one hundred feet, and at the outer pavilion to one hundred and forty feet. The pillars and all work below the floor are of iron, well bolted and braced together. The end pavilion will nearly seat two thousand persons, and is well suited for any first-class entertainment. The centre mile of the walk, that opposite the city, is the favorite promenade; on it can be found photographers, dining-rooms, shooting-galleries

and bath-houses. From the latter, in the summer, issue ladies and gents ready for their surf bath, in costumes and figures very various. Life here can be seen in all its stages and forms an excellent school for the student of human nature. Here can be seen the millionaire with his wife, both in their dignity and here also is the shopboy with his intended, no dignity but plenty of candy indeed such a conglomeration of all classes of society cannot be seen in any other sea-side resort in the world. The last portion of the walk, that nearest the West Jersey Excursion House, is still more mixed in its business and company. Here you will find photographers where you can have your portrait taken, twenty-five for a quarter, and many other establishments where quality is not so much an object as quantity. This also applies to the dramatic and operatic entertainments provided, for you can hear an opera (?) and a drama within half an hour, and only cost a glass of lemonade or any other beverage. These cheap amusements, no doubt, do not suit the more refined class of visitors, but as all classes of society the workingman as well as the society beau have to be catered for, as long as an amusement is not degrading, we say, "Let her go!

At every moment of his life man is taking oxygen into his system by means of the organs of respiration. The body of an adult man, supplied
with sufficient food, has neither increased nor diminished in weight at the end of twenty-four hours; yet the quantity of oxygen taken into his system during this period is very considerable, amounting in a year to 700 or 800 pounds. This oxygen is given off from the lungs in combination with carbonic acid gas and hydrogen in the form of vapor.

The

of the Koad,
The law of the road was the subject of an interesting opinion filed by Judge Biddle on the 16th of March, 1885, in refusing a new trial of the suit brought by Henry Brooks against Moulton Thomas to recover damages
wagon in a collision with that of the defendant. no rule of law," said the Judiie, " which requires a traveler to drive over any particular part of a public highway. He can drive over the middle, or on either side, no matter in what direction he may be going. What IS called the 'law of the road is that persons meeting on a highway must each keep to the right. This rule is modified in the case of a footman or horseman, who cannot compel a teamster with a heavy load to turn out of the beaten track. If the horseman, or a light vehicle, can pass with safety on the left of a heavily laden team, it is his duty to give way and leave the choice to the unwieldly vehicle. In the present case the defendant was on the left-hand side of the highway, with room between him

direction, had a right of way on the railway track but instead of keeping on the track he straddled one of the rails, having thus but one wheel on the track. It was his duty to follow the law of the road,' which regulates the conduct of those not driving on the track. Instead of keeping to the right he kept to tlie left, and his right wheel came in contact with the defendant's right wheel. The jury having found the defendant guilty of no negligence, gave a verdict in his favor. The verdict we see no reason to disturb."

The passion-flower Passiflora\% a genus of plants almost exclusively natives of the warm parts of America. It received its name from a fancy of some of the early Spanish s ttlers that they saw in its flowers a representation of our Lord's passion, the filaments being taken to represent the crown of thorns, the nail-shaped styles the nails of the cross, and the five anthers the marks of the wounds. The plants are mostly half shrubby evergreen climbers, and the flowers of many are large and beautiful, being on that account often cultivated in hot houses.

At " FlagStations" (that is, where train stops only when flagged), a long whistle is given, and (if a flag or lantern be hung at station) it is followed by two short whistles as an answer to the signal. When a flag-station is whistled for, at which there is no signal, but for which there are passengers aboard the train, the conductor pulls the bellcord twice in quick succession this signal is answered by two short whistles

The lever that is seen just outside the toilet-room on coaches, or the cord that comes through on side of car, as case may be, is attached to the airbrake, and should be pulled by a passenger (if no trainman is ready) at once in case of accident. (On some roads a printed notice to this eflfect is placed conspicuously near the cord, either inside of toilet-room or just without it).

hot, strong lemonade, taken at bedtime, will break up a cold cup of strong cofTee will remove the odor of onions from the breath. knife or borer moistened with a strong solution of caustic soda or
potash will cut india-rubber quite easily. Intense thirst is satiated by wading in water or by keeping the clothing saturated with water, even if it is taken from the sea. A simple remedy for neuralgia is to apply grated horseradish, prepared the same as for table use, to the temple when the face or head is affected, or to the wrist when the pain is in the arm or shoulder. Waterproof paper and pasteboard as strong as parchment are now made by treating the sheets with a solution of oxide of copper in ammonia, so as to partially dissolve a thin film of the paper, which is tlien dried. Gilt Irames may be cleaned by simply washing with a small sponge wet with hot spirits of wine, or oil of turpentine not too vvêt, but sufficiently to take off the dirt and fly-marks. They should not be afterward wiped, but left to dry of themselves. A pleasant summer drink is made by the following recipe Boil half an ounce of liops, half an ounce of ginger root, bruised, in one and onehalf gallons of water for twentyfive minutes. Add one pound of brown sugar, and boil ten minutes longer then strain and bottle while hot. When cold it will be ready for use. It must be kept in a cool place. Dried horehound may be used instead of hops. If the kitchen floor is not of hard wood have it painted. Venetian red, ochre or raw sienna, ground in oil, are the best colors. They must be of standard make, and it is well to give three coats at the first time of painting. Two coats are absolutely necessary. If the walls are painted, let a coat of damar varnish be applied. There will be no difficulty then in keeping them sweet and clean, as soap and water may be applied without

putty of starch and chloride of zinc hardens quickly, and lasts as a stopper of holes in metals for months. A writer in Hygiene FraHque states that boots and shoes may be rendered waterproof by soaking them for some hours in thick soap- water. The compound forms a fatty acid within the leather, and makes it impervious to water. To cure a cold Pour about half a pint of boiling hot water over about a dram of pulverized camphor, and inhale the vapors arising therefrom ten to twenty minutes.

To clean furniture that is not varnished, rub with a cloth wet with kerosene. Mortar and paint may be removed from window glass with hot, sharp vinegar. To beat the whites of eggs quickly, add a pinch of salt. Salt cools, and cold eggs froth rapidly. Never put salt into soup when cooking till it has been thoroughly skimmed, as salt prevents the scum from rising. tablespoonful of stewed tomato or tomato catsup added to the gravy of either roast or fried meats improves it greatly. Cayenne pepper blown into the cracks where ants congregate will drive them away. The same remedy is also good for mice. To remove grease from wall-pajier, lay several folds of blotting-paper on the spot and hold a hot iron near it until the grease is absorbed. You may avoid the unpleasantness to the eyes when peeling onions by sitting in a draught of air or by an open window or door while doing it. If the wall about the stove has been smoked by the stove, cover the black i)atches with gum shellac, and they will not strike through either' paint or kalsomine. A good rule for baking potatoes is to wash and boil them in the usual way till nearly done, and then finish by baking. They are whiter and mealier than when baked the old way. To test oleomargarine take a small bit of lard and place it between two pieces of thin, common window glass, each piece about an inch square, and press together until only a film remains. When held up to the light white, opaque spots are always to be seen. These are crystals of fat. For the same reason oleomargarine and butterine. containing, as they do, solid fats, may be detected in the same manner. Pure butter, on the contrary, does not show such specks. little experiment with lard in this direction is an excellent means of cultivating the eye and qualifying one to readily determine, when applied to butters, the imitation from genuine. This rule is practical enough, and is said to be a sure one. Wash the hair in cold sage tea. To brighten carpets, sprinkle with salt before sweeping. To polish a stove, rub with a newspaper instead of a brush. When cooking beans add one-half tea-spoonful of saleratus. For burns, apply flour wet with cold water, as it quickly gives relief. When sponge-cuke becomes dry it is nice to cut in thin slices and toa-st. If the oven is to hot when baking, place a small dish of cold water in it. To exterminate bedbugs dissolve alum in water, and appl^*^ to the bedstead with a feather. Be careful not to touch the paint or varniah.

Anthony Trollope. For twelve years his annual income from literature averaged 4,500, and in little over twenty years he made70,000 by his pen. He made 727 in the aggregate by " The Warden " and " Barchester Towers," 250 for "The Three Clerks," 400 for "Dr. Thorne," 1,000 for " Framley Parsonage," and 3,500 for " Can You Forgive Her." Mrs. Trollope received 800 for her work on "America," and it is believed for the next twenty years her literary income averaged 1,000 a

Wilkie Collins received 5,000 for "Armadale " before a line of it was written, and also 5,000 for " No Name." Oliver Goldsmith received only 60 for his " Vicar of Wakefield." Johnson was paid 100 for " Rasselas." Dumas not only received nothing for his first novel, but had to pay for printing it, and althousrh he made vast sums by his other works, the money was spent as soon as earned. Lord Lytton is believed to have made over 80,000 by his novels. Lord Beaconsfield is believed to have made quite 30,000 by his writings, although he profited but little by his earliest works. Charles Dickens made as much by his readings as by his novels his early bargains with publishers were deplorable, it is calculated that during the publishing of " ISMcholas Nickleby " it appears that for three years previous he ought to have made 10,000 a year out of his writings. 7,000 was to have been paid him for " Edwin Drood," if he had lived to complete

The constantly widening and enlarging stream of patrons of "Compound Oxygen" to-day ten times as great as five years ago has made it a necessity that we should provide larger and better quarters, both in the
City of Philadelphia and at several of our Depositories. In Philadelphia we have purchased for our main offices a large brick residence, at No. 1529 Arch street, which, in the hands of an architect, has
been transformed into "one of the handsomest and most complete establishments in the world devoted to the practice of Medical Science.'^ Here we have ample room for the continued growth of the next few years, with yard
space for enlargement
when that shall become essential. In the City of New York, our Depository, which has been in charge for several years of Dr. John Turner, has been removed from No. 138 Fifth avenue, to the larger and more commodious rooms at 148 Fifth avenue, between Nineteenth and Twentieth
streets.
Dr. Turner continues in charge.
The Depository at San Francisco, California, has been removed from No. 606 Montgomery street, to the fine new business building, No. 615 Powell street. It is in charge of Mr. H. A. Mathews, who will receive orders for any part of the Pacific coast, or from the Hawaiian Islands;
