Dear Me. Editor:—Apropos of the
article in your last week's issue by Edward W. Bok, from the Ladi»s* Home
Journal, on "The Things that London
Teaches Us," it enumerates a number
of things that London teaches us, hut
omits to carry the comparison to a final
conclusion and enumerate the things
that London could learn from ns, hence,
the impression conveyed, by implication, at least, is that in this hustling-to-
seeop-in-the-dollar-NW World of ours,
we are very much behind the times in
the teaching business. But, as a matter of fact, there are a number of things
that London might learn from America,
and will have to before she becomes the
ideal of perfection described.
For example:—She might learn that
it is not altogether the proper thing
for her to educate everyone of her inhabitants—man, woman and child—to
expect and iusist upon having a tip of
a sixpence or so for every breath of air
a stranger draws within her precincts.
She might learn that she could add to
the independence of her working people employed in public places by paying"
them salarieSjinstead of requiring them
to pay for the privilege of being permitted to gain a livelihood from the
charity of strangers aud ingrafting iu
themselves forever the instincts of servant and beggar.
She might learn things pertaining to

hy the way all, even to the Queen's
hostlers, much to my surprise, very
much interested in everything pertaining to Chicago and the forthcoming
world's fair.
The grounds of Buckingham Palace
are enclosed by a high brick wall, and
comprise about forty-three acres and
contain a lake of about five acres. The
Queen's stables cover about three and
one-half acres at the rear of tho Palace
and consist of a large quadrangle, well
paved and kept scrupuously clean, and
entered through a massive archway,
before which are iron gates, guarded
by an armed sentinel and the dignity
above de.-.cribed. They cdntain stabling
for 147 horses, thirty span of which are
required for state occasions. These
are thorough breds; ten span of each,
blacks, bays and creams, and are bred
especially for the use- of the Royal family. 'In the first compartment is the
state coach usee! for opening parliament, the cost of which was 6661 pounds,
or S33,30o. The state coach of Georg«,
the Third, is also here, and looks none
the worse for its century and a half of
age. In the harness room is the red
morocco harness with massive gold and
silver mountings. These cost a mint of
money, unless the keeper lied scandalously. Each set weighs one hundred
pounds. They are carefully locked up
in glass cases, to prevent American
relic hunters from carrying them off, I
presume. .,- :
I next went lo the Houses of Parliament, which, as far as the two chambers, the House of Lords and House of
Commons, are concerned, should have
for a motto: ."Multum in parvo," (much
in little) for the chapel of the Saline
school is, if I remember correctly,about
twice the size of either. Both are
elaborately ornamented with richly
carved antique-oak, but are little like
an American parliamentary room.
Fancy a hall, about 40x70 feet with an
aisle extending through the centre to
the speaker's desk, which is on th«
lowest level, and about six tiers of
straight back seats extending from one
end of the room to the other parallel
with the side walls, and rising one
above the other like steps, cushioned,
but without desks, arm or foot rests of
any kind and you have the House of
Commons exactly. The members sit
side by side one row above the other in
straight lines. The convenience and
comfort was certainly not taken into
consideration by the architect w*ho
planned these places. There is doubtless one redeeming feature about them,
howe,ver, and that is, members cannot
adopt the U. S. senators' fashion of putting their feet on the desks or writing
letters during the session. Standing
on the outside aud getting a view of
this monster edifice, and then going in
and looking over these comparatively
small chamberSjOne is moved to inquire,
why in the name of reason they call
this mammoth building the House of
Parliament, when only such an insignificant space is allotted to these two
bodies'*1 It is mightily suggestive of a
SoOO barn, with a $900 cupola on It.
The cost of the HouSe of Parliament
was in the neighborhood of the trifling
sum of Sl-3,000.000.

P. P. MAST & CO.'S TRAIN.
Description of tiie Great Train which will
Leave for the "West July 4th.
(From the Springfield, Ohio Daily Repnblie-Times, June 23, 1891.)
At ti o'clock on the morning of the
Fourth of July a remarkable tat n will
leave the Arcade depot over t e Big
Four, the L, I. & I., and Santa Fo routes
for Kansas City and the Great West.
It will consist of forty cars, all exactly
alike in size and color, each of a carrying capacity of 60,000, lbs. loaded with
BUCKEYE XOW DOWN DMIXS
of all styles and sizes, over 1,600 in
uuiuher. including pin hoe drills.spriug
lioe drills and shoe drills of from eight,
to twenty-four shoes or hoes, some
wilh press wheels and some without,
:ind rigged for from two to six horses;
and including quite a largu lot of the
combined grain and grass feed fertilizer
di ills, which the people of Kansas are
beginning to call for, and which have
foryears been used in the East.
This will be the largest sninmeht of
drills ever sent out by any factory, and
will be greater than the entire product
of some good-sized factories. Some
idea of its magnitude may be gathered
from the facts that the weight of the
drills will be about 1,450,000 pounds,
their value, at wholesale, between 880.-
000 and S90.000, and the freight charges
between S9,000 and $10,000.
Each car will be elaborately decorated with banuers, flags, aud bunting and
ivill be made otherwise attractive.
A special feature of the train will be
TWO ADVEKTISrSG CAHS.
One. an open platform car on which
will be a pair of handsome dapple-grey
horses, 15.} hands high, harnessed to a
Buckeye Low Down Shoe Drill, and at
all stops the people will be given an
opportunity io examine the drill, and,
by competent attendant, will be shown
the advantages of the low-down principle, the four wheels, tliejjiniber tongue and the single lever. Both the
car and the horses will be decorated
and will make an exhibit worth going
miles to see.
From the^other advertising car.which
will be the last in the train, will be distributed, very liberally, in the towns
en route, souvenirs of lJie great shipment, in the form of an elegaut.specia-
ly imported picture cards commemoi-
ativeof the occasion; also other advertising iiove*t*u'S**iii useful and attractive
forms. The train will not be run at ■
night in order that all towns may be
passed in daylight.
The drills in ihis are sold to dealers
in KKusas and Western lVIissouri, and,
with the exception of a few ear load3,
which will be set out at different points
in Missouri, the solid train will be run
through to Kansas City, where it will
be divided, and each car fordwarded to
.its destination.
This shipment is the opening of the
season, only a starter for the tremendous fall trade which is already assured
aud, another large shipment will soon
follow to St. Louis, to supply the trade
tributary to that point in Southern IU
inois and Eastern Missouri. Still another will soon be started for Texas,
and later on another for Kansas and
Wsstwn Missouri, as this lot does not
(ill nearly all the orders from that section, ami many car loads are not to be
shipped until Aug. 1st to loth, or later.
This shipment clearly breaks fhe
record in the drill business, and shows
the popularity of the Buckeye Low
Down Drills throughout the West.
