Look M chicago.

SIN point of grandeur and magniiicenee
the city Of Chicago is indeed the Queen city
of the West" remarked our townsman
John w. Lippineott to a reporter a lew
DAYS ago. Mr.. Lippineott attending the
Republican National Convention saw q
great many interesting things and hugely
enioyed the trip. Buildings eight stories
high are considered but ordinary, and
structures looming skyward ten and twelve
stories are quite common The beauty
and spiendor of some Of the public houses
exceeds anything he ever saw. In the loor
of the Palmer Honse are hundreds OF silver
dollars set in the polished blocks oil marble.
The shaving saloons and restaurants are SO
large and Systematically managed that
thirty men can be waited upon every live
minutes in a shaving saloon any time oi
the day or night, and thousands at a single
eating saloon every day. The Sidewalks
on many of the thoroughfares are as wide
as The whole of Chestnut street, Philadel-
phia. During n drive on the bouleyards
on Sunday afternoon he saw, hethinks, not
less than two thousand of the most bean
tiCul ~turnouts he ever set eyes upon; they
were perfect pictures. lie went 10 Chi

thus traversing through many States.
The widest and most forlofn looking re-
eion he observed was in Ontario, Canada,
where there are thousands Of acres OF fallen
and decaying timber among which cattle
are feeding upon patches Of grass not I'M
like the pastures. IN Gloucester county IN
time OF drought. Here and there stands a
hut-like farm house with an accompany
ing large barn with nothing in it. How
the farmers in that desoiate looking coun-
try manage to subsist and thrive, is, to
Mr.. Lippincott, a problem too difficult for
him to solve. Two and a half miles out
from the shore of the great Lake Michi-
gan. the six hundred thousand inhabitants
Of the city of Chicago are supplied with wa
ter from a reservoir sunk thirty feet below
the bottom of the lake. The water is
drawn mp into a stand pipe by a mighty
engine.

Tomatoes are o being sent from
New Jersey to the Philadelphia mar
kets, and it is expected that in the course
of ten days or so the bulk of the supply
will be received from this State. At pres
emf the market is mainly dependent ON the
Southern fruit, which, on account Of the
long distance to Northern markets, is pick
ed green and ripened by heat and time,
rendering it rather unpalatable as compar-
ed with that ripened on the vines. The
best of the tomatoes grown in the South
are received in this market by way of Chi
cage. They are shipped in refrigerator
cars to that city, where they are assorted
and repacked in 12-quart crates and then
sent East by express. They are put mp in
a very ~presentable shape, and, being care
fully euiled, they command a better price
than those coming direct in ordinary
crates. On Saturday, the Chicago pack
ages sold for s2.25, the others rang ing
from 81 to So a crate, and the Jersey arti-
Gle for 50 80 a basket

There are many who will desire the fol-
lowing prognostication to come true: There
will be but little extremely hot weather
this summer, and not so many severe WIND
and thunder storms. 1t is claimed by
many meteorologists that when there are
numerous spots on the sun there is much
disturbance upon the earth, and more ex-
tremely hot weather than when the sun
spots are not SO numerous. Every eleventh
year the spots almost disappear, and this
is the eleventh year. 1t is claimed that
these spots indicate great internal disturb
ance and tornadoes on the sun, which
causes the sun to send out more heat.

Bntterimiik as a Beverage.

The fact that buttermilk is kept for sale
as a Simmer drink in city restaurants and
saloons, and that its use as a beverage is
increasing, is a favorable sign of the times,
for it indicates a regard for health and
temperance. High medical authorities give
very good reasons why it should be more
generally used in both city and country.
Among its beneficial effects particular
stress is laid upon its power to clear the
system of those unwholeseme impurities
which clog and poison it during the Sum
mer season. That longtime standard au-
thority, "Hall's Journal of Health" de-
clares that 'buttermilk should be freely
used by all who can get it. Every one who
values good health should drink it daily in
warm weather, and let tea, coffee, etc,
alone" And for the benefit of those who
are not already aware of the fact, it adds
that in the churning the first process of
digestion is gone through, making it one
Of the easiest and quickest of all things to
digest. 1t makes gastric juice, and con-
tains properties that very readily assimi-
late with it, with very little wear upon

A supposed suieide alive.

Richard Randolph, of Bridgeton, an &C.
centric character, aged about fifty years,
suddenly disappeared on Saturday morn
ing last and it was supposed that he had
committed suicide by drowning, as he had
left a note intifnating as much and his
clothes were found along the creek. John
Randolph, a brother Of Richard, who lives
at Eldridge's Hill, was sent for, and a
thorough search vas being made for the
body IN Su~ndaywhen Randolph was found
hiding in an ~unoccupied building along
the creek. Investigation proved that the
man was insane and he was removed at
once to the State Insane Asylum. Ran
dolph was in the rebellion, and it is said
that a wound received during service has
affected his mind.

Swarthmore College, an Institution for
young men and women, in charge of the
Religious Society of Friends, held its six
teenth annual Commencement on the 18th
of June. President Edward III. Magill in
his address at the close of the exercises,
showed that the college was making a de-
cided advance in the cause of education,
and that it was an institution worthy the
pride felt in it by its friends. 1t has long
been desired that some of the leading Pro-
fessorships should be adequately endowed.
As a beginning a general subscription was
started Il year ago to endow at least one
Professorship. to be selected by the Board
of Managers. Friends throughout the
whole country nave taken great interest in
the success of the effort, with the result
that the ends attained far surpass what
was hoped for. The general subscription
secured sums of money from $50 persons,
enough to endow the Professorship of
Mathematics and Astronomy to the amount
of $4,000. In addition three individual
endowments of $40 900 each have been
made, as follows: /. V. Williamson, of
Philadelphia, "The |. Y. Williamson Pro
fessorship of Civil and Mechanical Engi-
neering;'' Joseph Wharton, Of Philadel-
phia. ''The Joseph Wharton Professorship
of History and Political Economy; and
Isaac II. Clothier. OF Philadelphia, THE
Isaac III. Clothier Professorship of the
Latin Language and Literature.
1t is seldom that a college secures at one
time four fully-endowed Profesaorships,
and Swarthmore Colleges ability to fur
nish 4 liberal education at moderate cost
to the student has been greatly increased.

There is so much prejudice against can
ned goods on the part of some persons that
hardly any triiiing ailment occurs to any
person of their acquaintance without it
being promptly PIT down to eating canned
goods. Hon. VIM. X. Newton, State In
s%pector, has had to examine into a good
many causes of sickness, and among the
rest has thoroughly examined a number of
cases of serious illness said to arise from
his cause. In his yearly report occurs the
following paragraph: Several reports of
sickness, said to be caused by eanned
foods, have been investigated during the
year. 1t was my practice to follow up inn
mediately all rumors or reports published
in the journals, and some person was COM
missioned to make a searching inquiry as
soon as possible. The result of these in
vestigations showed that in every instance
the report was without foundation in fact.
As an instance of the ~unreliability of these
rumors, / may mention the report printed
in nearly all the papers, to the effect that
a gentleman living in the southern part of
the State had been made seriously i'll by
eating canned corn. Investigation showed
that the person had had no corr whatever,
