A TRIP ABROAD -
(By +Miss Meda Fowler, ,Seaforth.)
From Mase we went by train
to the Hcy of Holland, where we
took the night steamer for Harwich,
a sea voyage of about 130 miles. The
night was calm, and I slept soundly
till 6 a.m.. when we were awakened,
and looked out to see the coast of
England quite near. -After passing
through the Customs, we left for Lon-
don and had :_ a good English break-.
fast on the train. We arrived at
Liverpool Station at 8.30 a.m.
London, August 6th.—"When a
man is tired of London, he is tired
of life, for there is in London all that
life can afford," said Dr. Johnson.
This great centre of .imperial
land and - metropolis of the world Is
over 2,000 years old, has -jt population
of nearly 8,000,000 persons, and is -the
greatest and richest city of which
history bears record. The modern
city is 15 feet higher than the old
level and extends over an- enormous
area, and within it there. are ,more
than 8,000 streets. Macaulay had theced
'reputation of having walked through
every street, but no one will ever do
, it again. It has 1,600 churches and
1570 newspapers. It is impossible to
Idescribe its wonders and attractions
There is a constant stream of double
decked street cars and buses, cabs
Coaches, autos and other vehicles o
i every kind, all moving to the left in-
stead of to the right as we do, and
one hears an incessant roar day and
night. All nationalities are repres-
ented there, and the stores contain
the .commodities of the whole world.
Beedea our conductor$, we were ac-
companied in our motor drives by a
guide -lecturer, who pointed out the
well known streets, buildings and
other places. We passed by Trafal-
gar Square, Nelson Monument, Na-
tional Gallery, Picadilly, site of New-
gate, - Prison, Mansion House (home
of the Lord Mayor), Bank of Ear

many other fine costumes. It was
once the home of the Duke of Suther-
land and was grander than the royal
palace. Queen Victoria once visited
. the Duchess and on entering said, "I
- come from my house to your palace."
, From there we drove to Westmin-
f ster Abbey, which is the chief object
cf interest in London. It is England's
national place of sepulchre and Tem-
ple of Fame, for it enshrines the
memory of its kings, its great states-
men, soldiers, poets, philosophers and
other famous people. Here are -bur-
ied 18' kings, 14 queens and 11 princes,
A church was built there about 6i.
A. D., but the present Abbey was be-
gun by Edward the Confessor in 104
and later rebuilt by other kings. It
is also the Coronation Church, for
here is kept the ancient coronation
chair containing the sacred stone of
Scone, in which all the sovereigns
have been crowned since Edward I.
The interior• is very, impressive, but
gloomy, and one feels like stepping
very cautiously and silently among
the crowded graves of the illustrious
dead. One is confused by the great
number of objects, the vast clustered
columiva with arches rising from them
to a great height,, the magnificent
tombs, fine monuments, statues, busts,
medallions, effigies, and on the pave-
ment stones of the floor the many in-
scriptions which we tried' to read and
remember, as'we passed along. Among
may others, we saw those of Pitt,
Gladstone, Younger Pitt, Fox, Wilber-
force, Darwin, Newton, Herschel, Old
Parr (15tt years old), David Living-
stone, and England's Unknown Sol-
dier. In the poets' corner are Dick-
ens, Tennyson, Browning, Milton,
Chaucer, Spenser, Macaulay, Dr.
Johnson and Dryden. In the choir
are Anne of Cleves and Jane Sey-
mour. In Henry VII's Chapel are
Henry VII, bis Queen, Queen Eliza-
beth, and close beside her, Mary,
Queen of Scots. A white marble
figure of Mary lies upon her tomb
and around it is an iron railing bear-
ing her emblem, the thistle. The
'shrine of Edward the Confessor is
elevated on a sort of platform. Pass-
ing through the cloisters, one enters
the Chapter' House, which was the
meeting place of the House of Corn -
'Mons from 1282 till 154/. Between
the Abbey and the House of Parlia-
ment 'is a chapel where Caxton and
Raleigh are buried.

the famous prisoners. In the Bloody
Tower the little King Edward V and
his brother were supposed to have
been murdered, and we saw where
the ` bones were found. The Duke of
Clarence was drowned here in a cask
of wine, and Raleigh was kept here
for thirteen years, most of the time
in a small cell which was shown to
us. -
Ira . Wakefield Tower are kept the
magnificent Crown Jewels, and the
records. In the White 'rower are the
• valuable collections of arms and arm-
our. -.(Henry VIII weighed 250 abs.;
his armour, 90 lbs., and that of his
horse, 791bs.) We saw the cloak on
which General Wolfe died at Quebec,
the trappings of the horse of King
William at the Boyne; a coat of the
Duke of Wellington; instruments of
torture, including rack, block and axe,
piles to which pirates were tied), old
cannon, and an old well of the 12th
century. The White Tower, the old-
est part of the building, has walls
17 feet thick.
The following day being Sunday;
two friends and I went to Church in
Westminster Abbey. The church was
crowded to the doors, but we made
our way up one aisle and found a
seat far off to one side behind great
columns and monuments, but could
not see or hear the_ preacher. Later,
we walked around to where we could
hear, and a gentleman n -gave us a
good seat near the front. The ser-
vice was at 10.15 a.m,, . and the ser-
mon was given by Rev. Rupert Strong,-
M.A.,
trong,M.A., Vicar of St. John, Drury Lane.
We were given printed leaflets con-
taining an outline of the service and
the hymns. `After church ,we picked
some daisies in the grounds, thea
went for a walk. We cruised West-
minster Bridge from which there is
a fine view of the Houses of Parlia-
ment and of the nasals Embank -
meat.. Farther on we radihed Lam-
beth Palace, the official 'residence of
the Archbishop of Cantierbury since
1197, and nearby Lamth Church
where we stopped for a short time to
see a double wedding. We went back
to our hotel for lunch, and then early
in the afternoon _climbed to the top
of a double -decked bus, and started
for Hampton Court, which is fifteen
utiles southwest of London. We pass-
ed through some - of the most exclus-
ive residential suburbs, (with its
suburbs London has *Ott 80,000
streets). On the way, there is also
London, August 6th.—In the after- most beautiful woodland.t�nery. The
noon we visited the Houses of Permagnificent Hampton "Caart Palace
ments. The handsome building ex- was built in 1616 for-Cardhol Wolsey
tends along the Thames embankment
for 940 feet, covers eight acres, and
has hundreds of rooms and miles of
.ecrridors. The Victoria Tower where
The King and Queen enter to open
Parliament is 340 feet high and more
n 70 feet square: - The clock tower
At the other end is 20 feet lower. The
minute hand of the clock is 14 feet
long, the hour hand 9 feet, and each
of the four dials are 92 feet in cir-
cumference. The great bell, called
the "Big Ben," weighs thirteen tons.
We were shown through many of the
rooms, including the House of Lords
and House of Commons. We saw the
thrones of the King and Queen, the
Prince of Wales' chair, and in the
House of Commons the place where
Lady Astor sat. In Westminster
Hall, where the great state trials
took place, we saw on the floor, the
inscription marking the spot where
Sir William Wallace - was tried on
Monday, August 23, 1306. Warren
Hastings was also tried here; Charles
I condemned to death, and Cromwell
inaugurated as Protector.
Leaving Westminster, we motored
along the Thames Embankment, a
wall neat the river, built of granite
backed with masonry eight feet thick
and forty feet high. The drive way
along it is about 100 feet wide, and
on it is the Egyptian obelish called
Cleopatra's Needle. We passed the
Cenotaph (of the Unknown Soldier),
the plain -looking house of the Prime
Minister, Horse Guards, Charing
Charing Cross, Waterloo Bridge, site
of old Fleet Prison, Temple Bar (long
ago many prisoners were hanged and
their heads exhibited here. Once
in Westminster Abbey, Johnson said
to Goldsmith, "Perhaps our names
will be written here." Later, when
standing at Temple Bar, Goldsmith
said to Johnson, "Perhaps our heads
will be - hung here.") , Blackfriars'
Bridge, St. Paul's Cathedral (closed
for repairs), Bread Street (where
Milton was born), and Dick Whitting -
ton's home. We crossed the famous
London Bridge, then soon after, the
Tower Bridge, went np Tower Hill,
and stopped to visit the Tower of
London. The Tower covers eighteen
acres, has an inner wall and an outer
wall, and many different towers. It
is an ancient palace, fortress and
state prison, now a museum and bar-
racks. It was used as a palace by
all kings up to Charles II. Histor-
ically, it is, perhaps, the most inter-
esting'place in London. Some of the
foundations are said to be of the time
of Julius Caesar, but it was rebuilt
by William the Conqueror. The grim
old Tower has such gruesome mem-
ories that the brighte$t day seems
dreary inside these • walls. The old
guards, called Beefeaters, are soldiers
of merit. A small enclosed square
marks the site of the scaffold, where
most of the executions took place. We
entered through the Lions' Gate, so
named from a menagerie that once
occupied the place. Here lions were
kept to fight with dogs and hears,
and from this came the expression,
"Seeing the lions." Near two can-
non was the spot where six German
spies were shot during the Grest War.
There was a portcullis over each of
two main gates. Near the river is
Traitor's Bate, where prisoners were
brought in from The boats. Wallace,
Mors, Crannier, Jane Grey, Anne
Boleyn, Katherine 'Toward, Queen
Elizabeth, Raleigh, Guy Fawkes, Duke
of Bnadringham Il►ad Laud were among
but later he was forted to present it
to Henry VIII, and it ;remained a
favorite royal residence up to the
time of George 17.. _Charles I was
imprisoned here. William III rebuilt
it and laid out the gaideek in Dutch
style. Since George II 'Itiftitt been
occupied by members of the aris-
tocracy who are pensioner* of the
Crown. It is of ked brick and sur-
rounded by a beMutiful park and
grounds. We entered by the Trophy
Gates, walked past beautiful rows of
flowers to the Great Gate House in
front with the old moat beneath,
through Green Court, by Anne
Boleyn's Gateway, up the stairs to
Wolsey's Hall, back to the Clock
Court (which contains an old astron-
omical clock), by another stair So the
State Rooms and Picture Galleries, to
Fountain Court, and then to the Gar-
dens. In one garden, called the Mase,
it is difficult to find one's way out.
We remembered the number of our
bus, and returned to our hotel by the
same one.

CORN BORER CONTROL
The Agricultural Representative
has informed us that several farmers
have inquired of him recently, whether
or not they will be allowed to con-
tinue growing corn. This question,
no doubt, has been brought about by
the Act respecting the corn borer,
which applies now to that part of the
County south of the C.P.R. running

It is not the intention of those in
authority to prohibit the growing of
corn. The Corn Borer Act has to do
with the control of this pest. - Sug-
gestions eat to the best methods of
controlling the Corn Borer have been
placed in the hands of all corn grow-
er) in the area affected. The Corn
Borer Inagector - is appointed to see
thet the Act is enforced and that
clean up measures are Won in order
to control the pest.
Farmers are advised, therefore, to
grow as much corn as they wish, pro-
viding they are prepared to- clean up
their corn ground in a manner that
will meet with the approval; of those
responsible for the enforcement of the
Corn Borer Act.

Our Education : "If by some
strange chance, nota vestige of us
descended to the remote future, save
a pile of our school books, or some
college examination papers, we may
imagine how puzzled an antiquary of
the period would be on finding in them
no sign that the learners were ever
likely to be parents. This must have
been the curriculum of their celibates,
we may fancy him concluding, see
here an elaborate preparation for
many things, especially for reading

co -existing nations ; but I find no
reference whatever to the bringing up
of children. They could not have
been so absurd as to omit all training
for this gravest of responsi ities.
Evidently, then, this was the school
course of one of their monastic or-
ders."
It is an astounding fact that no in-
struction is given to young people
concerning the treatment of children,
although the larger majority of them
will sooner or later become parents.—

Father Dantzer officiated. The bride,
who on the arm of her father, enter-
ed the church to Lohengrin's wedding

white georgette, trimmed with pearls
and rhinestones.. Her veil was daint-
ily caught •.zp with a Parisian bridal
wreath. She carried a shower bou-
quet of OrheIia roses and Sweetheart
buds. The bride was attended by her
two sisters, Miss Mildred McGrath,

ette and carried yellow Chrysanthe-
mums; the latter in pale blue
and carried a bouquet of pink
earne-
st tions.* Both wore black picture hats.
The groom was ably supported by his
cousin, Mr. Gerald Doyle. Miss Marie
Flannery presided at the organ, and -
at the Offertory a beautiful hymn was
sung by Mr. Thomas Kelly, uncle of -
the bride. At the signing of the rag..
f$ter, a trio was rendered by Misses
Mirk Flannery, Grace Moylan and
Mr. Thomas Kelly. The ushers were
Messrs. Robert Byrne and Moran.

and beautiful presents. A miscel-
laneous shower was given to the -

Honor Paid Old McKillop Boy.—
Mr. James S. Smith attended the
Winter Fair at Toronto last week, and
while there also attended the unveil-
ing of the portrait of his brother, Dr.
G. A. Smith, that was recently pre-
sented to the Board of Parkdale Col-
legiate. In its report of the presen-
tation proceedings the Mail and Em-
pire of Friday last says: "An in-
teresting feature was the presentation
to the school of a large oil portrait of
Dr. G. A. Smith, B.A., L.L.D., by the
Alumni. Dr. Smith was Princial of
the collegiate for 21 years, from 1906
until 1927, and the present Principal,
J. R. Moore, M.A., who succeeded him,
is only the third principal since its in-
ception 40 years ago. The first prin-
cipal was L. E. Embree, who held
sway from 1888 until 1906. Rev. Gor-
don Gould made the presentation of
the portrait on behalf of the gradu-
ates. "In this picture," he said, "we
are trying to erect an altar to which
G. A. Smith and the ex -pupils of P.
C. I. can return to, and think, and
smile, and recall the memories of the
best of our days." Loftus Reid, the
Chairman of the Board of Education,
accepted the picture on behalf of the
Board and School. The painting was
executed by E. Wylie Grier, and is a
striking likeness of Mr. Smith. It
will be hung in the main hall of the
new collegiate."
