Macmillan's Hdqazine.

London has been, since the Conquest, the
real centre Of government, Of thought, the
growth, the culture, and the life Of the ma
ton. No other city in Europe has kept that
prerogative unbroken for eight centuries un.
til our own day. At the very utmost, Paris
has possessed it for not more than four cen.
turies, and In an incomplete manner for at
least half of these four. The capitals Of
Prussia, Austria, Rassia, ard Spain are msIe-
" the artificial work Of recent ages, and the
capitals Of Italy and Greece are mere anti
quarian revivals. England was centralized
earlier than any other European nation; and
thus the congeries Of towns tbst We nov call
London has formed. from ths early days Of
our monarchy, the essential seat Of govern
ment, the military headquarters, the perma-
nent home of the law, the connecting link
between England and the Continent, and ,ne
Of the great centres of the commerce Of Eu-
rope. Hence It has come about that the life
Of England has been concentrated on the
banks Of the Thames more eomplstslJ snd
for longer period than the life Of any great
nation has been concentrated In any single
modern. city. When We add 70 that fact the
happy circumstance that at least down to the
memory of living men London retained q
more complete series Of public monuments,
more varied set Of local associations, more
NOBLE buildings bound mp with the memory
Of more great evsnts and more great men
than any single city In Europe, Except, par
haps, Rome itself,) we come to the conclu-
sion that London 10 . city unsurpassed In
historic interest. se

How TO Cook Water.

guests who complained Of having no aPpe-

and you will feel BETTER" was the formula
adopted, and the cup OF hot water and lemon
juice in 1t take away the insipidity. For
this antibilious remedy the caterers charge
the price of drink Of their best Liquors
twenty five cents or more--snd IL certainly
was wiser way to spend small change than
In alcohol. "Few people know how TO cook
water,n Charles Delmonico used to affirm.
aThs secret is In putting good fresh water
into . neat kettle, already quite warm, and
setting the water to boiling quickly, and
then taking 1t right of for use In tea, coffee
or other drinks, before 1t ID spoiled. To let
It steam an simmer and svaporate until the
