Tugwell's QUEEN WAS SHOCKED. Dull Mid-Vietorians Enjoyed Excit- ing Moments After All ! Some stories of the dull mid-Vie- torians are told in a new book, "Mayfair and Montmarte." Hearing the band of the Royal Horse Guards playing on the terrace at Windsor on one occasion, Queen Victoria was so pleased with a cer- tain tune that she asked an official to find out its name. After some hesitation the official replied: "Come Where the Boose Is Cheaper." This was a/ musical ditty comedian. A curious story Queen Victoria regarding the con- struction of the Admiralty buildings. the Queen his drawings, the archi- tect took with him by mistake those for an asylum, the designs for which he was planning at the same time, This was discovered only when her majesty had expressed herself Pleased with the plans. As she ap- proved of the design, nothing more Was to be done, and the Admiralty, on the plans made for the asylum. A story is told of a baronet whose hostess said she heard he liked a glass of wine.

The remark of a chef his mis- tress, who had remonstrated with him on his extravagant use of eggs, shows what faddists were the Vie- torians in the matter of food. "The first egg was all right, mad- am," he said, 'but I had to go through a couple of dozen or so be- fore I got others to match its color for the sauce." ---- Rose to Woolsack It has been said that in Lngland every newly-called barrister carrien the Woolsack in his brief-bag; for example has shown that the great office df Lord High Chancellor may be attained by men of the humblest beginnings, Thurlow, one of George IIL.' Chancellors, of whom it was said that no one could be 80 wise as he looked, was the son of a saddler in Thetford; and he owed his first brief to a chance conversation in a coffee-house that was overheard by & solicitor. The solicitor heard the young barrister maintain his posi- tion with such force and lucidity that he briefed him to appear in the House of Lords; and from that time fortune smiled on the Thetford tradesman's son. Mrs. F. G. Simmons, 42 Cur- : The next great Tory Chancellor, Eldon, rose from cqually obscure begnnings. His father 'was a collier, at Newcastle, Bethell, Lord West- bury, was the son of a docior in the small country town of Bridgewater. Bethll's first important case was on in which he appeared for Bras- enose College, Oxford; and he re- ceived the brief because, years be- fore, the Provost of the College had heard him in an examination, Ode of Pindar, with Buency and skill. Bethell won the case and made hig reputation by it. Lord Palmerston made Bethell a Law Officer, and, finally, Lord Chancellor in Succession to Lord Campbell. ---------- Improving British Docks. Everybody will have heard the siory of the American who was con- temptuously comparing the Clyde with the Mississippi, and who was silenced by the observation that vhile Providence had been respons -ble for the Mississippi, human engi- aeers had made the Clyde. It is a :dteral fact that the famous home of shipbuilding and sea commerce is largely an artificial waterway. Still, the work of improvement, begun nearly a hundred Years ago, is be- Ing continued, New docks are about to be constructed which will give six large parallel basins with direct entrance trom the river, and will add about seven miles of quays to the accommodation of the port. The total cost of the new works will be about $10,000,000. Ambitious developments are also Proceeding at the port of London. A new cargo quay, 1,000 feet long, has just been put into service, and plans for a large passenger stage at Tilbury and for big extensions to dock accommodation are being Prepared. . -------- World's Deepest Gold Mine. Australia is said to Possess the deepest gold mine in the world. It is situated at Bendigo, Vietoria, and is known as the New Chum Railway Mine. The miners who work in it are obliged to travel down a shaft nearly three-quarters of a mile deep. The heat in the mine is terrific, the temperature of 108 degrees be- ing so weaXening that it is neces sary to spray the bodies of the min- ers continually with cold water from above ground. Away from the Spray the men could not stand, and it is as much as they can do to work moderately under the spray. Few will begrudge these men the money they earn.
