A Letter From Landon
Queen Mary is making a collection
of articles which were once the pro-
perty of Queen Victoria, and which her
Majesty has found whilst rummaging
about the royal palaces. Some of these
have been found at Windsor, and
Queen Mary has made many discover-
ies at Balmoral. Nightcaps rich in fine
needlework have been found, as well
as a patchwork quilt made by Queen
Victoria to while away the tedium of
her declining years.
*
I am told that Her Majesty is again
wearing her beautiful jewels. The gift
of donning gems with real distinction
is by no means given to everyone, but
Queen Mary has .it in a remarkable
degree. They suit her to perfection.
Most, of the finest jewels are kept at
Windsor, where there is a special
strong room in which they are placed
in safes. Three people are always
present when these are . opened, the
trio including a Lady -in -Waiting, who
is responsible for the keys.
,Some women are of opinion that it
is hopelessly bad style to kiss in pub-
lic. If they had seen Queen Mary em-
bracing her relations they would know
that Her Majestyeetoes not agree with
them. The Queen kissed Princess
Christian, Princess Arthur of Con-
naught, Lady Hillington's children,
and any friend who came along.

The census is to be taken next year
and we shall be hearing all about it
ere long. In the remoter parts of the
Empire curious expedients have some-
times to be, adopted by census officials.
During the 1881 census several tribes
in India took fright and ran away.
The district officer interviewed the
headmen and gravely informed thein
that the Queen 'of England and the
Empress . of Russia had made a bet
as to which ruled over most subjects.
The census, he explained, was being
taken in order to settle the wager, ani
he appealed to them to help the Queen
to win. This appeal 'to their sporting
instincts succeeded: the tribes came
in from the jungle and were counted.

Morley's Hotel, Charing Cross, Lon-
don, which is to be converted into a
business man's club, is said to be the
only place of its kind that can boast
of having turned an Empress from its
doors. Many years ago a gentleman
called at the hotel saying he wished a
room to be reserved for a lady and
himself to held a short discussion on
an ,important matter, The manage-
ment viewed the application with sus-
picion, and politely but firmly refused
accommodation. The waiting carriage
had hardly left the doors when a vis-
itor, recognizing the occupant, excited-
ly ran to the management with the
news that they had turned away the
Empress Eugenie.
The filming of "Little Dorrit" is a
reminder that some of the London
scenes of the novel still remain intact.
The Iron Bridge—known to later gen-
erations as Southwark Bridge—where
the turnkey's son wooed the Child of
the Marshalea, is now being- rebuilt,
and of the Marshalea itself only a por-
tion of a wall remains abutting on the
tiny open space known as "Little Dor-

The announcement that the pfize-

£31,000, the greatest sum awarded to
any one sle'p for prize -bounty in the
war. The commanding officer, who
holds the Victoria Cross, can put about
£5,000 to his credit, and each of the
able seamen should have about £700

AERIAL ROAD MAP
FOR ALL CANADA
A despatch from Ottawa says:—
The roadmap of the sky for ail Canada
is in the retaking; in fact, it is nearly
complete, and will be published by
the Air Board within a day or two, ac-
cording to Col. F. F. Scott, director -
in -chief of civil aviation.
This map will cover every route
laid out within the Dominion. One
of its most important features is that
it will be drawn to deal with both
civil and military aviation. When re-
vised and finally published Canada will
have as complete a directory of travel
through the air as it is possible to
get. There will be one vast highway
across the Dominion. The map also
involves an aerial survey of the whole
Dominion.
