gine, The 17.1 per 1.4 18.6 in the appears that the London death rate as lower thap that of any of great cities of the kingdom, except Bristol and Leleester, and lower also than that of any foreign capitals, except the small towns of Amstor- dan, Brussels gnd Stockbolm. Tn that same wear--1901-there were fewer fatal street accidents than in any year Bince 182¢0--namely 802. The smallness of this figure is an eloquent testimony to the skillful maiwer in which Tondon trafic fis regulated. Some of the metropolitan streets are {he most congested streets in the world, yet the traffic goes on without many accidents "Another egrious fact brought out by this recof@ is thet there are over a quarter of a millicn more Womon than men inthe County of London. there being #3118 feninles to every 1,000 males, "1'his excess of females, , is due to the large le servents, who are ent stopping place for sight 'who wirh to visit the famous ; 'towns in the Vicinity. is an ancicpt town, 'passed in carly days through vicissitudes. In the old book ; 'ealicd the "Domesday is found the earliest mention 'place. Here, in the ycar it is recorded as a manor, med by one of the Warwick family. A this time it passed into the ds or _ many proprietors, as a brother of the Earl of, Lelcefter. Towerd the closs of the eightemit century it was a guaibt village, of which a few small fottages even now remain to tell of its original simplicity. There in also 'Bn ancient church, with its att ndant churchyard, not far from the ford across the little River Leam. The lined with tall, majeseic on the village highway or th ntroets are the discovery of saline Springs had created a reputation for town. Everything was at this time on a very small scale, and arranges ments were extremely simple, As the visitors came in greater numbers, ft was found necessary to have more conveniences, and the authorities caused a tub of considerable size to be sunk in one of the ditches near the spring. A man was retained as a 'regular dipper," and many in- valids attributed their cure to lm- tnersion in this primitive bathtub When sulphur and other mineral springs were discovered in 1784, the first bath was built, and Leamington grew rapidly into the well known spa it has bten for many years In 1803 the Royal Pump Room and baths were built over one of the springs, and the buildings are | well equipped and luxurious. They | are situated near the beautiful Vie- toria Bridge, and contain swimming | baths and reading and reception rooms. They are surrounded by well kept and extensive grounds When tho town ig full of {nvalids and their familics the "Parade" is the favorite resort, and many people go up and down, exchanging the greetings of the day. I'he central | position of Leamington, in Was | wickshire, makes it attractive as a dwelling place, especially in the hunting season, when the devotees of the chase disturb somewhat the ue- ual quiet of the town. Among the modern patrons of Loa- mington, Dr. Jephson easily ranis first, and he is often spoken of as the "Father of Leamington."

The first view | of the ruins of Kenilworth Castle is somewhat disappointing, and it is necessary to invest the re ddish stone structure with all the romance that Sir Walter Scott has created befloie its real charm and fpspiration can be felt. In many places the protect- ing ivy has thrown its green mantle | over decapitated towers and broken | columns, and rendered beautiful the remains of a once imposing castle | It is as old as the time of Henry | X., and fell into the hands of various} noble families. At one time a church and priory were established | here, and the castle also became a royal jail, of which Simon de Mont- | fort was the keeper. The priory 1s paid to have been destroyed hy Henry VIII, who mergenarily sold the materials of which it was built When Queen Elizabeth came to the throne of England she gave the grant of Kenilworth Castle to her favorite courtier, Dudley, Earl of Ilaeicester, and by him it was altered and much improved. Jt was here that his un- fortunate wife, the beautiful Amy Robsart, was hidden for a time, from the outside world, until carried away to Cumnor Palace, where she cam to her most untimely end, The thad- ow of this dreadful murder has al ways rested heavily upon the char- acter of the "Lord of Kenilworth," whether he was, as some claio, in- nocent of any knowledge of it, or whether he secretly instigated it, m- spired by the ambition to become the husband of Elizabeth, and to King of Tngland. The Queen's visit to the castle is a matter of history, und she was re- ceived ed entertained there with groat splendor. and Liospitality At the time of the visit the battlements of the great high towers were Cov ered with giant guards, with clubs and warlike implements, representing soldiers of King Arthur's time, The royal pageant is said to have ap proached the castle hy the broad highway, which, for more thag (wo miles, afforded lovely views of lake ond towers, This was in the ycar 1575, and as the Tittle town of Stratford is not far away, it 1s thought that Shakespeare may have witnessed the princely welcome which the Earl of Leicester gave to the Queen at Kenilworth.

The number of persons affected, however, is only about 16,000 altogether, though os er £1,000,000 sterling is involved-- which shows what an expensive busi- ness this is!

Then Davent slipped from the saddle and stood, hat in hand, as Marie Amalie came toward him through the grecn twilight. She did not attempt to excuse herself to herself, and to no one else did that finperlous young woman vouchsafe rliyme or reason for her deeds.

Marie Amalie came up the linden walk, thinking deeply. An American, it sulted ber exactly.

Horace Fletcher writes of an experience that he had while traveling on a rallway with the proverbial twenty minutes for dinner in which to satisfy a labor- ing man's appetite. There wus an ex- cellent array of good things on the lunch counter to eat and drink, and from these he made a selection rather than attempt the regular dinner.

The twenty nrnutes was ample time for disposing of « sandwiches and milk, while be had the pie put in paper to glve eplcurean enjoyment on the train. He says: "If I had put the ple and sandwiches and the milk Into my stomach in seven or eight minutes, which, by actual ob- servation, {3 the gluttonous rute of dis patching a station weal, 1 would have lost two-thirds of putriment, more than one-half of taste and taken om twenty-four hours of discomfort, pos- sibly Inviting a cold aud creating an 'open door' for auy wigrating microbes | that were floating about In my atmos phere looking fermenting food fn whicli to build thelr disease nests."
