On Saturday, Sept. 9, we spent the day in Atlantic City, N. J. It was the first time we had seen the sea, and being in such a famous summer resort where thousands of visitors bathe in the surf, of course we had to don a bath- ing suit and enjoy it with the rest. We not only got into the Atlantic Ocean, but some of the Atlantic Ocean got into us. It tasted very bitter, too. In the evening we returned to Philadelphia, and the next day attended John Wanamaker's Sunday school, known as the greatest in the world. " John " was there, and about 4,000 more who were regular members of the school. Mr. W. is the superintendent. It is indeed a most wonderful Sunday school. Be sure to visit it if you are ever in Philadelphia on Sunday. It is located at the corner of 22nd and Bainbridge streets, and meets at 2:30 It was indeed a fitting close to our staj' in the old " City of Brotherly ; We shall always remember our visit to Philadelphia with much pleasure, and hope some time to be permitted to go there again, and stay longer. But next year (don't forget it) the bee-keepers' conven- tion will be held here in Chicago, at the same time as the Grand Army encampment. Then we want to see the larg- est gathering of bee-keepers ever known in this country. Bees in Paraguay.—U. S. Consul, Hon.
