Returning to Oa|ie May after an ab. ' senee of a few" years, -f see much that Interests me more than evor before, the ! ocean seems more grand and of a deeper ' blue, by lncrea«e of years; the balmy Sir, the Invigorating sea breeze, the 1 heal :1s imparting batli, and the delightall promise the health seeker it or w ' lease for bis life. Many old land marks ' and familiar faces have passed away, ' and new ones have taken their places. 1 The" large Iron Pier with its protective 1 verandahs, reaching out into the deep. The shore line ntildSsd extending to 8eweir« Point, the new* government House with its life saving apparatus, so £ complete in all its appliances, for rifle- , lent service in rescuing the ship wrecked mariner—these and others arc as new f leases in the life of this sea girt city. 1 . have not read before and which add so | much to the interest, comfort and hraltli , of its rlsllora. It occurred to me that n steamer might be constructed large , enough to bridge Delaware Bay by con f nectlng the points of land on rlWter rid. , and thus afford a much direct route tr ( this summrr resort tor southern travel. , God's three majestic finger points are t the prairie, the mountain and the ocean „ but the latter seems most sublime of all. , In the evening hours as you gaze out , upon the boundless atpansc. arched f over by Uie sUr spgnglisl sky. the , beauty and grandeur of the scene is be- , yond description, and you are Impressed with the thong bt of the near presence of the overruling providence whose ways are in the an, whose paths are In the mighty waters and where footsteps are not- known.

I am ,ftoe to say, however, that we never received much assUtano lite people of Cape May in our efforts to increase the business to that point, and I am afraid that other resorts on the Jersey c«*tt will continue to at. traei the summer travel un'il such time as the property owners of your city are willing W spend a little money to place the attractions ot Cape May properly bethe people.

The cruel and dangerous practice among b -y* of ducking one anotbor violently and at unexpected momenta, much as it is to be rejirehended, baa probably saved more lives than It baa sacrificed, for it teaches its victims to catch the breath almost as instinctively as doe* a teal. The same end may be attained, however, by leas brutal methods, if the learner will begin by docking hitnseif in shallow, water, and as the submerged c-nnditlon becomes familiar, advance to diving, swimming under" water, and the like, until, within the bounds of reason, it is a matter of Indifference whether the head is under water or not.— Sue York Camnurtiai AMvr.
