BEEF Forty YEARS OLD.-A letter from
Stockholm says: "At the last meeting of the
Idun Society there was served at supper
curious sort of beef that has been preserved
for forty years. In 1927 Captain Parry had
placed at School Point, at Spitzbergen, q
depot of meat The flesh was in tin boxes,
buried beneatl, a quantity of stones. The
white bears had displaced some of the stones
and Destroyed several of the boxes, but a few
still remained intact, and were brought to
Sweden by the Swedish scientific expedition
1t was one of these boxes that Professor
Thorell, of Lund, had given TO the Idun So,
and of good flavor"

The trick recently played upon the agent Of

Quoted. The fact that an agency which pro-
fesses to supply the journals OF the country
with reliable news should be imposed upon by
20 transparent a"goak" will bring the public
20 our conclusion that the institution Is hum

Fashionable waserips Places.

The adjective fashionable has almost ceased
to be applicable to our watering places Even
the natural attractions of the finest and most
famous among them have been year by year
counterbalanced by the accommodating incon-
venience and discomfort for which short sighted
landlords, with their impositions, and guests of
the shoddy order, with their vulgarity and silly
sxtravaQsnce, must DO held accountable.
Nearly all the watering places appear 10 be
comparatively deserted, and the very few
letters from watering place correspondents
which have lately been published are for the
most part merely transparent "pufs" Of certain
hotels. The psucity Of visitors is owing both
to the number Of New Yosker who havagone
abroad and TO tho unusual number who have
stayed ct home. The former have sailed for
Europe, attracted by the double spectacle Of
the great Exhibition and the extraordinary
congress Of soveregns at Paris. Tho New
Yorkers who have remained ct home are be-
ginning 10 learn what Cubans and o4her visit
or from all parts Of the world know, that New
York itself il one Of the pleasantest places TO
spend the summer in, thanks to the fnll applt
ances for comfort and luxury afforded by wen
stocked markets snd spacious hotels, the
facilities for delightful excursions by day or by
night in every direction, the open air concerts
at the most popular Of our public gardens,
the healthful breezes that blow across the
island, the swift rivers on either side, the
superb bag below, and last, but by no means
least, the entertainments Of the Park. mid
summer drive or stroll in the Park is memory
and "a joy forever" We must, however,
inform the Commissioners Of the Park that
recent complaints have been made Of the inso
