than any other food, and is therefore invaluable to Children
while Teething.

CHAPMAIV & CO.'S ENTIRE WHEAT FLOUR
promotes a vigorous and healthy growth of the bones and
teeth, and prevents premature decay.

CHAPMAN & CO.'S ENTIRE WHEAT FLOUR.
PROFESSOR ATTFIELD, Analyst to the Royal Pharma-
ceutical Society of Great Britain, reports as follows :--" Its rich-
ness in gluten, or flesh-forming material and phoshates, or bone
and teeth-forming substances, shows it to be a very valuable and
nutritious food, especially for children. It is incomparably
superior to arrowroot, corn-flour, and other forms of starch, which
contribute but little to the growth or renewal of bone or muscle.

CHAPMAN & CO.'S ENTIRE WHEAT
FLOUR sold by all respectable Chemists and Grocers, in
packets, 3d., 6d., and is., and tins, 3s.

street, E.C., London.

RIMMEL'S TOILET VINEGAR is a perfect
luxury this hot weather for the Toilet or Bath, or as a re-
freshing handkerchief scent, whilst its sanitary properties
render it an absolute requisite in all families. See that each
bottle bears E. Rimmel's signature, as some small makers are
now issuing a worthless imitation, copying the label exactly, all
but the name. Sold by all perfume vendors.—E. Rimrnel, per-
fumer to H.R.H. the Princess of Wales, 96, Strand ; 128, Regent-

EDMUND YATES ON CHARLES DICKENS.
In one of his letters to a provincial paper Mr. Edmund
Yates gives a number of interesting particulars about the
late Mr. Dickens. Referring to the way in which the
deceased author edited All the Year Round, Mr. Yates says :
It was the fashion to say that many of us, who for fifteen
years had been the staple contributors to this journal, tried
to imitate our great master; but the fact is, that much of
what was supposed to be mere imitation was a touch in-
serted by the master-hand during his revision of
the proof. One day a week he devoted to " making up "
the number coming up regularly from the country for the
purpose, and selecting the articles, in co-operation with
his son, who has for some time been his acting editor.
He was, indeed, very regular and methodical in all his
work, sitting down to write about ten, and rising from
his desk between one and two, when, after
a slight luncheon, he would start for a twelve
mile walk with some favoured companion. How
many times have I traversed that Kentish country
with him, hanging on his words, and prouder of his notice
and his friendship than of anything else in my life. Now
would we go over the gaunt dreary marshes where once
we were nearly benighted ; now through Cobham Park,
to which, by Lord Darnley's permission, Mr. Dickens
had access, and where there is in the midst of the
velvety glades and overhung by arching trees, a grim
family mausoleum, which always seemed to me
to be the prototype of that one at Chesney
Wold, Sometimes on a hot day we would stop
fora refreshing draught at the Leather Bottle in Cobham,
where it will be recollected Mr. Tupman found solace in
the cares of life, and sometimes we would go into Roches-
ter—henceforth and for evermore to be recognised as
Cloisterham—where we would wander about the Cathe-
dral' or round the ruins of the Old Castle. Throughout
these walks the conversation never flagged for a
moment—comments on the events of the day ;
stories told with a wonderful touch of humorous
exaggeration ; anecdotes suggested by the losality
through which we were passing clear and prompt
decision on matters submitted to his judgment—all this
he poured forth as he walked, stopping now and then
to call attention to some distant prospect, some effect of
light and shade, or some eccentric character on the
road. One most remarkable fact about him was the
deep interest which he took in his friends' work, and the
time he would give up and the trouble he would
take in aiding them. A. month ago I went to him,
as was my wont when about to commence a new story,
giving him an outline of the plot, and asking his opinion
of it. He praised it very warmly, but on coming to dine
with me a few days after, he placed a written paper in
my band, saying, I have been thinking about what we
talked over the other day., and I have jotted down some-
thing which I think will give rather a good turn to the
story." When I opened the paper at night I found he
had filled a page with a very valuable suggestion.
The readings given by Mr. Dickens throughout the
country have familiarised his face and figure to all his
countrymen ; but those who would know what he was in
earlier life will find an excellent reproduction of Mr.
Maclise's admirable picture of him prefixed to the original
edition of " Nicholas Nickleby," whilst an almost equally
good portrait of him at the same period was painted by
Miss Gullies, and is engraved in Hazlitt's " New Spirit
of the Age." The photographs recently taken vary in
merit, but I have seen none of them without a strong look
of the man.
