There is e reran in London who can claim to have given more rest to the public: than any other man in the country, He is Mr. W, M. Shanly, the "Chair King," whose chairs dot the royal parks' rind other: open spaces of London, With more than 30,000 chairs, at Wembley, Mr, Meanly now has about 150,000 under his control. The enterprise was: started seventy years ago by his father, and he himself has controlled it for forty yearn. Mr. Shanly supplied chairs for gar- den parties at Winctsoi' Castle in the days of Qneen,Victoria, and since then. at Buckingham Palace for Edward VII. and the present King. Holiday- makers at a number' of seaside resorts also use his• chairs. Making Lord Balfour Blush. Probably the most femme bachelor of to -day is Lord Balfour, who has per- sistently shunned matrimony, in spite of rumor's efforts to couple his name with that of some fair lady. This. "chronic" singleness has not been without its amusing side.. Once when he was lefr. A. J. Balfour, he was stay- ing at an hotel when' a postcard etas brought to him.' It read: "Baby going on .nicely. I really think she has' grown since you left." He blushed deeply and felt very em barrass�ede until it was discpvered that there was another A. J. B. among the guests! Accuracy.

Hen That,Helped Industry:. The secret of making sugar perfect- ly white was disoowered in a curious way. A hen which had been through a day puddle went with her Muddy feet into a sugar -house and left her tracks, on a, pile of sugar. It `wes .observed that wherever the tracks were the sugar was whitened. Experiments were made, and•it was discovered that wet clay could be used in refining sugar. The ,sugar• was put into earthen jars, of sugar -loaf' form,. and clay was put'. over the tops and kept wet.
