A ROYAL Gift.

An entertainer of kings was Whiting
ton. What sayeth the wise mani
"Seest thou a man diligent in his bust
ness? He shall stand before kings"
They used to show an old house in Hart
lane, rich with carved wood, as Whiting
toms, but it must have been in his parish
of st. Michael's, Paternoster row, and,
one is pretty certain, close to the site of
his college, which stood on the north side
of the church. Here he entertained Henry
of Agincourt and his bride with magnifi-
cence which astonished the king. The cost
of such banquet was more than repaid by
the res pect for the wealth and power of the
city which it nourished and maintained in
the kirgly mind.
The memory of it, we may be very sure,
had it's after effect even upon those most
masterful Of sovereigns Henry VIII and
Queen Bess. On this occasion it was moth
ing that the tables groaned with good
things and glittered with gold and silver
plate. 1t was nothing that the fires were
fed with cedar and perfumed wood. For
the princely mayor fed these fires after din
ner with nothing less than the kings
bonds 10 the amount of 100000 In pur-
chasing power that sum would now be
represe nted by a million and a quarter. A
truly royal gift.-Walter Bssant in Har-

1ngersoll on California

In recent magazine article Mr. Ernest

The climate of Southern California in
winter closely resembles that of Egypt.
Its equablllty Is constant, and its dryness
is proverbial The only complaint m ade is
that 1t is too nearly perfect Residents
bred in the eastern states confess now and
then that rousing storm would give them
a grateful sensation. But this sentiment

Personal Note by Editor.

We have travelled few miles in our life
time, and know what it is to be uncom-
fortably housed in poorly upholstered
car and rudely tossed up and down on old
iron rails that are laid on a dirt road bed.
We have been there; but it was always on
other roads than the Santa Fe. Their main
line between Chicago and Denver is hard
to beat The rails are of heavy steel, the
track smooth and rock-ballasted; and the
through "Cannonball' train that flies at
fifty-miles- per-hour speed over this ele-
giant roadway is as pretty bit of work
manship as Messrs. Pullman ever turned
out. Each vestibule sleeper is model of
luxury. and as easy as a cradle. Chair
cars, library cars, and day coaches are all
carefully adapted to the travellers every
want. The Santa Fe is rightly named

St. Louis to Colorado via wichits.

Commencing Sunday, July 1880, the
Missouri Pacific railway will run through
sleeping cars from St. Louis via Pleasant
Hill, Rich Hill, Fort Scott and Wichita to
Geneseo and from thence to Pueblo. Colo
RADIO Springs and Denver. This change
was made on account Of great many peo-
pie from the east going to Colorado being
DESTROYS of going via Wichita. The train
will stop here two hours, giving all a
chance to view the Peerless Princess" and
still land passengers in Colorado same
time as if they had gone via Kansas City
1t also gives the citizens of Wichita sleep
ing ear service from here to Colorado. Re
turning, it gives US through sleeping car
service Wichita toSt. Louis, and gives the
Colorado people a chance to 60 east via
Wichita. This change will undoubtedly
be appreciated by the travelling public, and
especially by the citizens Of Wichita. II
you are going east or west go via the pop
ular new through route. Through chair
end sleeping car service. New route just
completed between Fort Scott and Rich
Hill goes through the finest mineral and
agricultural country in the west. Don't
forget the new short line to st. Louis or
Colorado.

The First Gas Furnaces.

The gas furnace most commonly used in
the American iron and steel works was in
vented about thirty years ago BY the
brothers Frederick and Charles William
Siemens, German engineers resident in
London. The first "Siemen furnace" built
in this country under the sanction of these
inventors was erected at the works of John
A. Griswold & Co., at Troy, N. Y, in 1867,
and was used as heating furnace" This
was followed in the same year by heat
ing furnace at the works of the Nashua
Iron and Steel company, Nashua, N. H., and
early in 1868 the first "Siemens furnace" for
melting steel in crucibles (often called a
pot furnace'0 was started in the works of
Anderson &, Woods, at Pittsburg.-W. T.
Durfee in Popular Science Monthly.
