Here we were shown the spot were King. Canute who ruled over Eng- land, Denmark and Norway, *placed his chair on the seashore and com- manded the waves to retire. Doubt -- less he had forgotten the hour at which the tide went'out, or he might have been. successful . in, flattering his vanity— but as it was he was taught a lesson, that a Higher power ruled the waves. A. few miles inland from Southampton. we had to recall to mind more of the his- tory of Old England, when we were taken to see '!The New Forest," and there had a remarkably good pic- ture taken. The forest consists of some 1400 square miles and was laid. out by William the Conqueror in. 1066. This first Norman French King of England had a great Pas- sion, for the chase and needed a great park for his Purpose. He swept away the homes of many peo- ple, destroyed whole villages of the English, and also burned down Churches to make room for his plan- tation in which to chase the wild stag, boar, and other animals. The death penalty was inflicted on any- body who hunted in the New Forest without the King's permission. It was in this great hunting grounds the Conqueror's successor and. se- cond son, William Rufus, was ac- cidentally shot by an arrow which glanced from a tree when aimed at a stag, and pierced the King's heart. As Rufus was as savage and ruth- less as his father, and dissolute to boot, there is little doubt but that the arrow was intended for the one it hit. It was William the Conqu- eror who foisted the Feudal System on England by giving about 20,000 of his Norman followers the lands of the English. Some of his 'follow- ers on whom he bestowed the .stol- en lands were of noble birth, but some were his cooks and gamekeep- ers. The King kept more than 1000 manors or country houses for hini- self. He gave his brother Robert, 793 manors and his half-brother, Odo, 439 manors in. 17 counties. Thus it will be seen the noble Lord with a long pedigree can trace his descent back to a cook, gamekeeper or just an ordinary squatter on land stolen, from the rightful owner. The King saw to it that he was acknow- ledged supreme lord by his land- holders taking the oath of allegiance to their King. listates Being Divided The big estates in Great Britain are gradually being divided up or sold by the aristocrats to wealthy manufacturers or merchants who made their millions during the war, The aristocracy of birth is being supplanted by the aristocracy of wealth. The burdensome' land. tax- es compel the old aristocrats who have no occupation to bring in rev- enues and must depend on the rent- als„ to sell or divide the ancestral estates. In every instances where we have been entertained in lordly homes, the new owners have come into their titles and landed e4ates in recent years. English papers have had considerable about one rich man who paid 3000 pounds sterling as the first instalment. on a title and when the title was not forhcoming he sued for the return of his money and was successful. Titled people are still held in a somewhat reverential awe by a con- siderably large number but in trine we believe' the large -holding system of land will pass away, in fact free- holds are now becoming the rule rather than the exception, but the limited „monarchy system that has been the chief "vexecutive authority in Great Britain tor many years is still strong in the affections of the British people. The King is the great central figure that binds the various portions of the Empire to- gether. "The Doles" In England there s is a 'great deal of unemployed and one hears con- siderable about "The Doles." It isn't quite as humiliating to receive doles in England as to get in the bread line in one of our Canadian, cities but there isn't much difference. It is hard lines for the man who hon- estly wants wqrk and: can.'t get it. The doles are paideout to those over 16 who are out of work .or -have a Medical Health Officer's certificate. There is a labor exchange in every borough and to centres centres the unemployed come and show their discharge papers from their last em- ployers. If the 'applicant is success- ful a man is allowed 15 shillings a week or 18 shillings for man afid wife; three shillings additional for the first child and 'a pao rata scale for the younger ones. Since the' close of the war in 1918 the sum of £400,000,000 has been paid in doles. That would mean about one and three quarter billion dollars in Can- adian money: .Thai is a tremend-. ous drain on the national treasury, of treat Britaip and is one of the., worst after -affects of thesw.ar. The, condition of the farm laborer who are subsisting on 'less than, $7 a week is also a serious one. , • On to the proVinces .simramrail.1 Mr. and Mrs. A.darnjlirk 'are •viait- leg in, Mich, Miss Olivia Weltin is visiting ein Kitch ener • Mr. Duncan Snider attended_ the funeral of his brother, Dr. George Snider, at Cardington.

At Stratford weslad lunch with the Mayor and on our rethrn at night to Leamington we were dined' bY the pity council. We visited the home of England's greatest poet, the immortal William, Shakespeare, .at .Stratford-on-Avora with the adjoining woolehop as re- stored, documents in his own hand- writing, saw books containing the history ,of the .fa,mily, his memorial theatre and .reading room and books from which he collected thoughts for his dramatical works. We were all through the house of Anne Hatha- way, the girl the immortal bard mar- ried, and as we bent our head in going from one room to another we thought of William Shakespeare hav- ing to do Some ducking too wlien he went a -courting Anne. About 15 of us were let in a ream at a time as that is all the small room would con veniently accommodate. Last year no fewer than 76,000 people visited Shakespeare's birthplabe and, as the charge to each to visit all the scenes of William's and Anne's activities is two shillings sixpence it can readily be seen the trust that carries on sight-seeing at that piece is a paying venture. Of course the state takes a rake-off too. There is no escaping taxation in this country. At Strat- ford we visited Shakespeare's birth- place, the school, the church and the of his great dramas are played by local talent. Kenilworth Castle The famous castle of Kenilworth is now in ruins, Sheep are pastur- ing in the courtyard through which Queen Elizabeth and her courtiers passed on their way to the reception by the Earl of 'Leicester. There is no sign of defences having been built around the castle. Mach of the stone has been taken away to build farmer's houses in the ad- joining counties. It is one immense ruins connecting the Tudor period, with the present. We also visited Warwick castle made famous in the Wars of the Roses as the home of The Kingmaker. Kenilworth Castle—like Hever Castle, were both old Tudor build- ings, but the former has only a few walls and towers standing while the latter is in a perfect state of pre- servation, Crediton Mr, and Mrs. C. Zwicker visited in London on. Sunday. Mr, and Mrs. John Brown. of Zurich visited with Mr an4 Mrs. Herman Oestreicher on Sunday.

The Dorcas Band of the EN -angelical Sunday School held a social everting at the home of Mr. George Ellber an Thursday, about •thirty-five members being present. The ,eve.nling was im_ mensely enjoyed by .everyone, and a dainty lunch was served. The remains of the late ;,Irs.

On Wednesday, July 9th, we were required to have our baggage -out-. side of the room at 6 a.m. and as we were, late the night before at Lord Beaverbrook's dinner it 8oemed pret- ty early. At nine o'clock we left Paddington station and said griocl bye to London with many regrets because our stay in the big city was altogether too short. The ten days passed all too quickly, but time waits for no man, and NV 0 had much to see itt the provincial cities and towns before we again set sail. A train ride of a few hours brought 'us to Leamington a lovely garden town in the Midlands, a place to where many visitors -go to partake of the Spa cure ---the saline waters and baths, and to wander in the beanti- ful Jepson Gardens, a great riot of beauty and color, where`the flower lover is in his glory.
