Her fath- er, Henry VII1., had also once re- viewpd his scanty array of war ves- | sels when his notable ship, the Great | Harry, was added to the number, and | suppoasi to be the one and only Dreadmonght of its day. It rwas George 111. who first began the/system of reviews of the fleet as | we know it to-day. He was present at three such spectacles during -his | long reign, and in 1794 there. was a | mock fight of the ships for his benefit, But a review at that time was made the occasion of showing how ships could fight rather than a display of The victory 'of Trafalgar first drew | general attention to our fleet, and a | great review was held in 1814, in hon- or of 'she peace so soon to be broken - Thisreview was to celebrate, too, the vist of the allied sovereigns to Eng- land, and was the 'becasion of 'a gal lant display of ships George IV. was present at two re. | views during his ten years' eceupancy | of the throne, though neither of them was particularly famous either. for number of vessels attending or for any striking incidents. It was Queen Victoria who gave the review of the fleet ita greatest signi- fication in modern 'times. In 1842 she héld he¢ first review, with the Prince Consort, 'and -it | is. noteworthy that nearly every ship she saw at that time was after the pattern of the old Vie- tory, moored close by the place where the review was.

He. began shooting when he was nine years of age--he is now fifty-seven-- and somie years ago his lordship made a calculation of the number of vie: tims that had fallen "to. his gun. He eatimated that in the course of twenty- sight' years he had himself shot no fowar than 316,699 head of game.

English newspapers note that the Earl of Verulam, who owns the sand upon which was built the ancient Ko- man city of Verutamium, has givén permission to the Society of Antiqua- ries to nndertake excavations, which will shortly be commenced The site of Verulamium lies a mile or so from the centre of 8t. Albans, just at the entrance of the beautiful Gorhambury Park. Verulzinium was one of the most | important cities in England at the time of the Roman oecupation. With Eboracum (York) it enjoyed thg dig- nity of being a municipium, which | meant that all who were born within the. time of the Hanoverian | alls could claim Roman-oitizses.- Foie reviews ot ONT fighting is. ss situated in Watling British 'insurrection under Boadigea culminated here in the massacre of 70,000 Romans.

Albgns--grew up on the hill which had shadowed it, ' In the centre of the &ite of the old city is the Church of St. Michael, the vicarage of which stands in the mid- dla of what was the forum. A few old walls and other fragments are to be een here and there, but the Roman city lies for the most part buried un- der a considerable 'depth of soil. Ip the-eourse of centuries earth has been washed down from the hillside, and have beens busy, and where once lay the proud and splen- did eity is now the quiet ower-filled rarden- of the vicarage, thé' fields of the glebe, and other pastures. and plough lands. ; The stones and Roman bricks ¢f Ve- rulamium were, of course, much used or later buildings elsewhere. 8t.

One of the most remarkable careers of modern times closed with the death of Mr. Tom Price, Premier of South Australis. Many years dgo, in the humble position of stonemason, he helped to build the Parliament House; afterwards he sat in that very House as Prime Minister. He was a Welshman, born at Brymbo, in Den- bighshire. His father was a working builder, and he himself wae taught the stonemason's trade in Liverpool. When only twelve years of e he saved 6d. a week,in order to buy a second-hand \ coat at a pawnbroker's shop, so that he could attend the Sunday school. When he did attend the sleeves were too long. He dealt with them summarily. "The beys," he related, "produced a bigger boy to flatten me out. I finished him." attended the same Sunday school for many yeprs, and eventually - became superintendent. ben he married "the prettiést girl in that school," and . with her emigrated in 1881, on account of alarming symptoms of lung trouble, to 'Sydney, moving to Ade- laide a few years later. At Adelaide Tom Price helped, as an mason," to build. the Parliament House, in which he sat since 1906 as Prime Minister. His suceess in life was due entirely to his gifts.of seli- reliance and perseverance. "After 1 arrived 'in Adelaide," he said, "I immediately got work with the lead- ing contractor there. 1 was with him seven years. "Soon after I left him I became Clerk of Works for the Gov- ernment, which was at that time erecting some big works at a place called Islington, close to Adelaide. 1 was asked by the Labor party to.be- come a candidate for ane of the big- gust electoral districts of the State I was returned (this was in 1893), béating the old member for the dis Jriet by oné vote. Four years after. that 1 became leader of the Parlia- mentary Labor party. When . the States of Australia federated stood or a seat in the House of Representa- tives, but was beaten by just a few votes after polling 28,000.. In. the year 19056 1"challenged the Govern ment--as leader of the Opposition-- carried a non-confidence motion, was sent for. by the governor to form a ministry, and succeedeof™in doing se." There was no pride4in him. "1 was Tom Price," he said, "when I went to gchool. -1 was Tom Price as super- inténdent. 1 ANT Price as stone mason, and ] am Tom Price as Pre. mier. to-day. As in the past, so for many generations in the future, the achievements of Tom Price, the Welsh ftonemason, will 'be rightly' held up as a great example 'of what sjerling merit .may attain. But if the moral be truly pointed, it must be remem- bered- that in Thm Prite's case the reward was not/great riches or seli- aggrandizementy' but rather great op- portunities for pislie gerviee "1 am #8 poor ag Job,' he told a friend.

A Royal Fish St orey. nave 'prerogatives of English rulers in olden times related to rovdl fish Royal .fish are sturgeon and whale, which are. considered the finest of deep-sea fish. For 'this reason, "on account of their supvrior excellence,' whenever one of these fish was thrown: nshore or caught near the' coast oi England it became the property ot e King. This scems very unjust to those who might secure the whale or Sturgeon, for they were compelled to give it up without receiving any pay.' However, -the King had soms yound for claiming these royal fish guarded and protected -the sea¥<from pirates and robbers, and in those days Yiore were very many of them The most peculiar feature of the 'ustom of. royal fish was that, while the whole of the sturgeon belonged to the King, only half of the whale 1id™ For it was.a prerogative," as it was -called, 'of the Quezn that the tail of every whale caught in the way described was her property, while the head only was the .King's.. The réa on for thiz division, as given by the old records, was to furnich Queen's wardrobe with the whalebone and this reason is more amusing than thé eustom is peenliar, for the wheole- hone lies entirely .in the heed of the whale. But there are many more as trange and amusing eustoms recori- ed in England early laws Mr Winston Churchill's Mother, "1s there .s0 much differance tween politicians and actors' Both are -oqually eagere for popular ap- plaise; both equally doubtful whether they will' get it."
