Syk" - Sespectfully, *' C. ROBS, B. D. S. -Beeponding to your request ; to give the readers of the aa account of our recent trip through Great Britain and France C tn ttiac the joys and woes of a ten days sea voyage from New York to Liverpool we will begin with our five weeks stay la London. It is said that "one should see Rome and die" I would add that one should see London and live to see it again with a population of over 6,500,000 people within an area of 700 square miles, it is probably the largest and ZDOtil wealthy city in the >vorld It is bO entirely different from all other cities we ever visited that comparison is out of the question. The atree«s are of asphalt kept clean by young boys and men with brush and pan. There are no hucksters crying out their wares on the streets, even daily papers are sold by men standing quietly on the sidewalk. Very few surface cars are seen, there­ fore the streets are free from poles and wires. In the most congested part of the city underground crossings add to the comfort and safet. of the people. Busses are the chief mode of transporta­ tion. They are all double deckers there­ by giving one a fine chance to see the city while riding along its thorough fares. Eleven thousand seven hundred and eighty-five vehicles passed over Tower bridge in one 24 hours of our stay in London and as this is only one of the many bridges over the Thames we can get some idea of the immense traffic of the city. All business places are closed on Sunday except in the Jewish quarters. Not a restaurant, bakery, confectionery or chemist shop is to be found open on that day, therefore it stands one in hand to keep close to their boarding house or hotel lest they go hungry. We were located near the British museum which we visited several times. Here we find a library of 2,000,000 volumes and the second largest in the word, (that of Rome being two feet larger.) It is circular in shape with a dome 146 feet high and 140 feet in diameter. The reading room alone contains 80,000 volumes. Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's cathedral, the parlia­ ment buildings and the tower of Lon­ don all have a historic interest, while "Old Curiosity Shop" made famous by Dickens is visited by all tourists. At the Royal Opera we were favored with a glimpse of Royalty which quite satis­ fied our curiosity in that direction. Of course one always "slums" in every city but their own, so the district ' 'Jack the Ripper" and Petticoat Lane where the Jews hold forth on Sunday selling all sorts of things on the street from old hinges to canary birds, had to be taken in. There are 80,000 Jews in London, 80,000 Irish, and about 50,000 Scotch. The police number over 14,000 men and the number of licensed Cabmen in Lon­ don is over 15,000. It is said that from 800,000 to a million people enter the city every day, so yon see there is no city quite equal thjf metropolis of the minor castle the of the Queen is one | visitor should see. kted on the river iles distant from - . P A city British Empire. great English of the places eve: It is beautifully Thames about v London. When the ©riurt is ateent the state apartments and all principle por tions of the castle are open to the public. It was our good fortune to be granted this privilege. From the tower of the castle can be seen the old home of Wil­ liam Penn in the distance and Eton col­ lege is only a short walk away. Eng­ land throughout has the appearance of a huge park but this particular locality presents a most charming view. We will now leave England for a time and skip the English channel into France. There being far .more woes than joys in this bit of sea travel, The French people are so different in looks, speech and tempera me at from the people of England that we marvel at the change in so short a distance. Every­ thing in France shows the artistic na­ ture of its people, even the advertising signs along the roads bear evidence of this trait of character. Every possible c h a n c e t o e n h a n c e t h e b e a u t y o f t h e country seems to be taken advantage of and things have a well cared for and finished look. Paris is a beautiful city about the size of New York.

Both of these gentlemen have called McHenry their home since boyhood and have many friends who trust their business ven­ tures will prove successful. Mr. Wight- man is undecided as to his future occu­ pation but we trust he may main one of us. « > » cient shade trees line the streets and all along the sidewalks one finds comfort­ able seats for the weary traveler. While the exposition surpassed the Worlds Fair in some respects it did not as a whole compare with "The White City." The buildings were cream in color with fancy decorations. In anti­ quities and works of art, in silks and ladies gowns we did not come up to them, but throughout the balance of the show the Worlds Exposition was far ahead. Tickets were sold by men, women and children on the streets, therefore the price of admission varied according to the nationality of the pur­ chaser. Fortunately it does not take an American long to "catch on." I find in the last i- sue of the Plaindealer an ac­ count of the wonderful map exhibited at the exposition. We were told this map was the gift of the Czar of Russia and cost one million dollars. It is cer­ tainly a very beautiful piece of work. The day at "The Louvre ' where the paintings of the old masters are seen will always be a "red letter " day of our journey. By hiring a gu de we wasted no time and were shown the most noted works of Rembrandt Van Eyck, Murillo, Raphael and others too numer ous to mention. We saw the original "Gleaners" by Millet which cost 250,(K)( 1 franc and the original "Venus de Milo" 2000 years, old could not be bought for millions of franc. The day we visited Versailles happened to be a Fete day in honor of some saint, therefore the town and also the people presented a gala ap­ pearance. Going through the palace which for many years was the residence of the Court of France we saw many- wonderful paintings illustrating the career of Napoleon. Innumerable fountains add to the beauty of the grounds surrounding this old palace which was at one time the home of tht unfortunate Marie Antoinette. Wt were amused at the custom of eating at tables placed on the sidewalk in front of the different shop in Paris. Thousands of people take their meals in the opei air during the summer months. F01- tunately for us, we were located neai the exposition grounds with friends from Hartford, Conn., who spoke the French language which was a great help to us in doing the city. When asked the question "Which was the most beautiful tning we saw in France 1' our mind reverts at once to the Tomb of Napoleon. This magnificent memorial is placed in the church of the Mealides. The Dome«consist« of a square pile, sur­ mounted by a circular tower having twelve windows. Immediately beneath the dome is a circular crypt 36 feet in diameter and 20 feet deep. The walIt- are of polished granite, adorned with marble reliefs, the effect of which is enhanced by the strong golden flood of light admitted through tne stained win­ dows. The mosaic pavements at the bottom represents a wreath of laurels and from it rises the sarcophagus which contains the ashes of Napoleon I--thus fulfilling the request embodied in the Conqueror's will, as inscribed over the entrance to the vault: "I desire that my ashes may rest on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of the French people whom I have so well loved." Returning to London we stayed two weeks and then pulled out for Devon­ shire. Words fail me to describe this beautiful section of England. The small fields of varied colors separated by hedgerows of dark green make one think that nature had gone to rest'under a huge crazy quilt. At the little town of Hatherleijjh seven miles from the railroad we visited the birthplace of an eighty-year-old Chicago friend. This house was built in 1861 and has been oc­ cupied by members of this family for a century. Funny little thatched roofed houses covered with a sort of white cement gave the yillage a quaint and ancient look. The twilight in Devonshire made it possible for us to read a newspaper at ten o'clock at night With a firm resolve to visit this lovely place again we took the train for Edinburgh, Scotland. Fearing the ac­ count of our journey through Scotland and Ireland would make this article too long we will, with the permission of the editor, continue our description in the next issue. MRS. S. P.

The school house is now heated by steam and owing to this apparatus not being completed, the pupils had a three tcation last week. Then and Now. What is probably one of the cojiiee of -.he first railway guide ever issued^ in the United States is in possession of the Pas­ senger Department of the Chicago and tforth- Western Railway. This quaint little book was printed in the Reflector >ftice in Schenectady, N. Y., in 1886, and its title proclaims it "A Western Traveler's Pocket Dictionary and Stranger's Guide." Its 96 tiny pages are 2fx8i inches in size, bound in red covered boards. At the time this little s?uide appeared all the states through which the Chicago & North-Western Railway now operates, with the except­ ion of Illinois, were territories, and the tide of emigration was just beginning to set toward the West. Chicago was a village, and it was not until twelve years later that her first railroad was begun to be built, which pioneer line is now a part of the great Chicago & North-Western system, operating 8,500 miles of first-class railway in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming, and running through trains daily between Chicago and San Francisco and Portland. This mighty empire has a population vastly greater than the whole nation possessed in I" year 1886. The total population of tite United States, as given in the Guide, was 9,185,928, confined to the territory east of the Mississippi river. Beyond was an unknown and unexplored wilder­ ness. The canals of New York, Pennsyl­ vania and Ohio were the chief means means of transportation, both for people and the commoditie . of commerce, as there were but 1,500 miles of railway in the republic at this time, while tbe mi ieage of the canals was considerably greater. Much of the space in the Guide was given to rates of freight and passenger tariffs on the different canals, together with uoints about the best wagon roads in existence at that time. It is but sixty-four years since this little guide was printed, but centuries of progress have been compressed into this comparatively short time. The canal is but a memory, while thousands upon thousands of miles of steel bring the remotest regions of the nation with­ in a few hours' journey, and the subtle potency of the telegraph makes the whole world «in.
