Is there, then, no possible way out of
. this really
. serious difficulty? The Dean
of 'Westminster has just come forward
With an erairety new proposal.
He does not hesitate to suggest that
an overflow for the interments and the
monuments" which may properly belong
to Westminster 'Abbey in the future may
be found in the celebrated. chapel of the
Pyx. In order to explain and emphasize
this scheme of Dr, Armitage Robinson,
Wo must go back many centuries.
The Chapel of the Pyx is a low build-
ing of early Norman architecture, situ-
ated in the eastern walk of the great
cloisters of the abbey. It was built by
Edward the -Confessor somewhere about
the year 1060, possibly ever a trifle
earlier, so that it is one of the cope -
partitively few things remaining in Eng-
land to -day bearing at pre -conquest char-
acter.
When that famous monarch proceeded
to build the abbey church so closely as-
"-soeiated with his name he did not neg-
lect the necessary buildings for the abbot
and other members of a great religious
house of the Benedictinif order. With the
object possibly of securing for the monks
a dormitory which might be free from
the fogs ana damps which were bound to
proceed from land situated so close to
the bank of the Thames and other lesser
streams, he placed it upon this low,
vaulted eubstructure, of Which the
'Chapel of the Pyx forms the =Ahern
pbrtion. •
All told, this low vaulted building
amounts in length to .n less than 'O9
feet. As we see it to -day it is divided
into several partitions, .which are them -
elves composed of either brick or stone.
This is most unfortunate, for it com-
pletely hides the beautiful proportions
of the building and the long line of six
massive stone columns down the centre,
which support its. vaulting . We cannot
but feel as we gaze upon it thus that it
is to some extent fallen from a previous
high estate; for of the four sections
'tvaich it now contains two are simply
dark storehouses; a third is used as an
approach to the gymnasium of West-
tniuster School, while the fourth and
most northerly is the Chapel of the Pyx.
Thua the evhirling of time has played
;ode havoc with the arches and columns
eroded by the sainted Edward. However,
we- meet be thenkful that the building,
though now divided in this unsightly.

proved more sufficient, for theyseem
never to have been aistarbed again for
long years save on those memorable oc-
casions when the entire nation was turn-
ed well nigh, topsy-turvy by the corona-
tion of it new monarch.
So things continued for several centu-
ries, and we can well understand how
the Chapel of the- Pyx came to acquire
in the nunds of English people a charae-
ter almost sacred. The storms of the
Reformation descended with full force
upon the Abbey, but the Chapel of the
Pyx remained untouched.,
The whole of that troubled sixteenth
.century came and went, but the national
Regalia of England received no hurt. A
terrible time was, however, approaching,
and. it arrived during the great convul-
sion of the civil war and the rule of the
Corittnonwealth.
At so early a date as the year 1643,
the more extreme Puritan faction in the
Long Parliament determined to make an
end of the Regalia., which they loathed
as being so closely associated. With king-
ship and- the House of Stuart. It would

for the simple reason that ouch articles

Why then, argues the 'demi, the
State no longer requires the Chapel of

SHIPPING APPLES.
Advice From the Chief Govern-
ment Inspector at Liverpool.
1. Ship only very choice fruit of the
early varieties, as early apples have to
Compete with home-grown fruit on the
British markets.
Table varieties of choice quality, pack-
ed. in cases, slimed i
be shipped n cold
storage at a temperature ranging- from
35 to 40 degrees. A lower temperature
is not required. A great and sudden
change of temperature ahvays causes
damage to perishable food products,
causing apples, to become "slack," "wet"
and "wasty."
Apples in barrels should be shipped in
holds which are equipped with forced
ventilation (electric or steam fans).

I of promoters of binder twine and other
1 Tit Proposed Coocerns.
It appears that there roe a member
preposed Mdustrug companies doing
business in this district, and while these
propositions may be all right, it would
be well if farmers who are approached
by men, strangers to them, with requests
to take up stock in the concerns, would
hesitate before putting up their looney
or the equivalent. In so doing they nifty
save themselves from loss and trouble
later on. And in any event, a little de-
lay, a little consideration and, a little
investigation before investneent can work
no harm. The wonderful profits to be
made can generally wait. If they are
bona fide, as a rule, they would not be
looking anxiously for subscribers, since
there is an abundance of money in the
country for all schemes that aro money-
making. Farmers do not make their
money so easily that they can afford. to
put up.sums of money into schemes of
any kind to lose. And iathey wouldObe
sure of retaining wliat they have they
will go very slow, as advised, and will
not eacept off -hand what may be told
them by strangers or friends, or what
they may soe in prospectuses and the
like. With regard to the binder twine
situation, there ought to be no trouble
in ascertaining what has been the fete
of more than one of these undertakings.
There is nothing impossible about
such projects being made a success, but
to the farmers and others who may
think of investing their hard-earned
nioney, it would Ike at wise thing to look
before they leap. -London Free Press,

iginal. Most of the coaehers are sent to
