Monument Reared Recently to the Brave of Both Nations--Scotch Used Spears in the Battle, Although Flodden was fought clom i upon 400 years ago it is only during i the last month that there has been i unveiled a monument erected upon | the site approximately of the centre | of the battlefield, "To the Brave of Both Nations"--Olim Hostes, Nun: | Fratres. A | Much confusion, writes a correspon. | | dent, arisen heretofore from the presence of the reputed Sybil"s Well | with its inscription on Flodden Hill | among the trees above Blinkbonny, { where it had been placed, or rather | misplaced, by the late Marchioness of i Waterford with entire disregard of his- | | torieal accuracy. The prevailing misapprehension con- | cerning "King's Stone," another sup- | positious site memorial consisting of | i an unhewn column, has probably been | perpetuated by if it did not originate i in Scott's notes to "Marmion," in i which it is alleed to mark the spot | where James fell. As a matter of fact this wis & VéFy ancient tribal gather. ing or trysting stone transported from by glacial action, and is situated about three-quarters of a mile northward i from the locality of the final scene of the battle, The memorial cross, which was un. veiled by Bir George Douglas, is the outcome of a giant effort by English. men and Seotsmen from both sides of the border. The idea of making the site near where the closing tragedy of the battle tock place originated three years ago with the Berwickshire Naturalists' Club With regard to the numbers took part in Flodden, although Scottish army assembled in August on the Borough Moor of: Edinburgh computed to have numbered in all 100,000, the camp of James on the morning of September 9 did not con- tain probably more than 35,000. But | these comprised the flower of { Scots' army, The numbers of the two that the * | [orees which faced one another, though ly in favor of the Scots, | ably pretty well equalized { after the dramatic disappearance of | Home and Huntly's division of 8,000 | at first 1 | were proba { to 10.000 men shortly after the begin- | | ning of the battle, I The arm mostly used by the Scots | was a keen and sharp spear fifteen i feet long. Targets also were carried | by them, and when the spears failed | they fought with "great and sharp { swords." Flodden was the last field upon which bows of yew and clothyard shafts were employed by the English. --~Westminster Gazette, the The Hen Derby. It is said that the crowning triumph of 'Bir John Astley, that inventor of absurd contests, whose forte it was to arrange races between animals which nature apparently had made most un- suitable for the purpose, was the in- stitution of the only races that ever '+ took place between chickens. | Bir John during a visit.to a friend who kept a large number of hens. He noticed how rapidly the chickens used to scurry to their mother when food was thrown to her. This furnished the ingenious Bir John with a clever notion, and at mess, he then being quartered at Windsor, he accordingly unfolded to his brother officers his plans for a great chicken race. He bought from a farmer a hen and a brood of chickens. Each officer was to choose a chicken and mark it with a ribbon, so that he could easily re- cognize it. The chickens were to be placed about fifty yards away from their mother, and whichever of them reached her first in answer to her cackle when food was thrown to her was to be adjudged the winner. And so this ridueulous "hen Derby" came off in the barracks at Windsor, and was witnessed by nearly tho whale brigade of guards, who traveled down from London especially to see it, The race was such a success that it ing week. It might possibly have be- chickens might been added to the attractions at Windsor had not St. John's chicken wun on each occasion with such ease icion in the minds of Indeed, it was found, it is said, that in both races Bir John had selected a stury young cockerel who was much too speedy for his sis- ters. When victory was a certainty for stal of Hg of course, lost interest, and so the chicken races at Windsor came to a sudden end.

Smith, who defended Ethel Leneve at the Old Bailey, This youthiul K.C.--he is the young- est King's Counsel England has--first came into general public prominenee by a brilliant defence at the Old Bail ¥ die, the Liverpool bank forger. Later, he entered Parliament, and created a sensation by his maiden. speech, in 1906. It is almost certain' that, when F. E. Smith will be in the Cabinet.

The biggest london of all is the police Jloudon, covering 692 square niles; the smallest is the City of Lon- don, extending to one square mile. When oue speaks of Louden ono must put au adjective in to describe what London is referred to. Here are Londons with their areas as known to tle law: City of London, one square mile, County of Loudon, 115 square miles. Water London, 537 square miles. Postal London, 220 square miles. Telephone London, 630 square miles. Parhamentary London, 117 square { miles, Leclesiastical miles, Greater hondon, 692 square miles. Police London, 691 square miles. Police Court Lendoa, miles.

They pay one-third of the total rates raised. Less than ball the people who have a vote for the rates they pay ever use them. $o far as taxation and repre sentation is concerned a third of the tax-paying property has no share in ontrolling the expenditure. In Ber- mondsey and Poplar half the rates paid have no voters behind them. Every year at least 7,000 Londoners lie violent or sudden deaths, 300 are sent to prison for long terms, and 120,000 are brought before the police magistrates on various charges. | Within the 113 square miles of the County of London there are 135,00¢ people who have come from foreign leountries: Russians number 38,000, Germans 27%00. Poles 15,000. French 11,000, Italians 10,000, 5,000, On the dverage there are ten fires » day in London.

This population of seven millions uses up 224,000,000 gallons of water a day, drawn from the reservoirs, in which there are always over 11,000,000,000 gallons ready for use.
