life by parsonage whom it is eN-
tremely difficult to believe is not, at
least, the President of a college. so in
tellectual is his cast of cOuntenance. so
irreproachable his dress and manner.
When he served US for the first time-it
was soon after our arrival, and we
went to the dining-room for cup of
tea and light luncheon simply could
not believe he was a servant, and felt
decidedly uncomfortable in allowing
him to wait upon me, for he was not
a young man; but Elizabeth punched
me and whispered that l must remem-
ber / was an American and used to the
best, and not act as if l had never seen
a decent servant before. So / made a
superhuman effort, and resisted the
temptation to jump up and help him
when he appeared later with the tray
of delicious English strawberries. tho
his presence still inspired me with a
painful sense of my own deficiencies in
true elegance of manner.

English cooking and food awfuily good,

their conversation with the big woman
developed, members of some sort of a
show.
The ride TO London was short. not
more than an hour and a half and
seemed 10 me not nearly as long. Every
little while we got a charming bit of
country scenery and / remember par
ticularly, in passing thru some town,
the large number Of common, cheap
houses with beautiful large gardens
filled with roses and all kinds of flow
ers which backed up to the railroad.
Then, the funny little black chimneys
amused and interested me, like pieces

sometimes four, sometimes two or
three. But, on the whole there was
nothing very remarkable about the
ride
When we reached London, not far
from 2:30, Elizabeth and | took u han
som and drove at once to this hotel,
which had been so highly recommend
ed to us by American friends I must
tell you a little about IL. Altho in the

but very English and comfortable. Don't
deceive yourself for moment with the
idea that il is cheap, for it isn't. We
could have gone 10 a far grander place
than this for far less money, but its
quaintness and accessibility appealed to
us irresistibly from the first There is
no public parlOr or reception room OF
any kind in the house. most of the
people living here having their own
private suite of rooms, where they re-
ceive their friends, have their meals
served and lead their lives quite re-
moved from contact with their less eX-
elusive fellow -boarderS. But it really
suits Elizabeth and me better TO GO
TO the general dining-room for our
meals, for we have not come abroad to
shut ourselves up together, and pro.
pose to take advantage of every oppoF-
tunity to mix with the people of the
country and make all the comments
and comparisons, invidious or other
wise, that we see fit.

we are dining like Kings or Queens.
We have only been disappointed in one
thing, and that is the breakfast bacon.
''Oh, wait until you come to England
and taste our breakfast bacon" said
some English friends visiting America
to me last Winter, and they went on to
tell how delicious it was and how su-
perior to ours in every way. Well, the
very first breakfast we had in LONDON

of course, and both of us made up our

Stanyan, Milford, n. Y. Price, 81.
Capt. Stanyan, who served in the Sth
y. H., was a man of education, who
graduated from Norwich University,
taught school for awhile in Ohio, was
one of The ArGonauts of 1S49, and led
an adventurous life before the war.
Then he raised a company for the Sth
n. H., saw hard service in the Depart
,nent of the Gulf, and led his regiment
on the second charge at Port Hudson,
getting within 15 yards of the Confed-
crate brcastworks, when he was wound
ed and captured. After the war he was
an educator, inventor, public speaker,
etc. He wooed the muse with great
success, and his poems, which his widow
has gathered into this modest little
volume, show decided poetic ability.
They treat on all subjects. They sing
of the sea, tell of home life and home
incidents, of love and fidelity, family
life, religion and the war. Several of
them are dedicated to his old regiment,
company and comrades.

The enumeration of population prom
ises to clear up some questions of i'm
mediate interest 20 the Executive De-
partments. For instance, it has been
repeatedly claimed that the Chinese
exclusion law is not well enforced and
that the smuggling of Chinese over the
Canadian and Mexican borders pro-
cceds apace, in spite of the vigilance of
Inspectors. 4 comparison of the Chi
nese population in the United States
next April with the Chinese population
10 years ago should show whether
many Cinnamon have been smuggled in,
for the exclusion law has been in force
all that time. There are difficulties in
the way of an accurate enumeration of
the Chinese, but the Census Office is
trying to anticipate those difficulties
and obtain correct poll.
