THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG 1 LONDON LETTER Vv For the Canadian Press. London, June 24.--Nearly every _Bgtion of the world went to Ascot Forty special trains a day went from London, and the roads were packed with motors. All vehicles had to be | made spotless by an extra gang of cleaners, so that the Jovely new frocks should not be soiled. The 'Grand Stand was packed---never hag such a multitude of tongues been heard at Royal races before. The pr : 4 ' McKinney, Tyendinaga Alp, dropped dead on Thursday, | being the cause. De- a brother to J. A. Mc- deputy reeve of Tyendinaga. King and Queen, the Prince of Wales | and other members of the Royal | Family were in the paddock to see the horses apd discuss their chances, showing JXeen expert knowledge. There has never been such a day at Ascot gince it was founded by Queen Anne in 1711. It may well be called a festival of lovely women. A River of Humanity, It is difficult to realize the organi- zation required to deal with the flow | of visitors to Wembley. - Everyone | finds the attractions so great that they want to stay as long as possible, which means they have to go back to | London en masse. Picture 110,000 people being moved at the rate of} 80,000 an hour from one station alone--without any overcrowding, rush or noise. There are six plat- | forms at Wembley Park with four flights of stairs leading to them. | Trains follow one another at such | close intervals thdt there would seem a danger of them overrunning ghould one train stop, sincé all are on a single line at one part of the Journey, This, however, is Impos- sible, as even if a signalman should allow a train to enter a section in whieh another train is standing, or should a driver over-run a signal, there is a device which causes the brakes to be automatically applied, stopping the train immediately, -- London Washes Herself, When the members of the Cana- dian bar Association arrive in Lon- don to act as joint hosts te the American confreres, they will find the grime of ages removed from many | of the old buildings. The Law Courts! themselves have not had a wash for 42 years! the walls, as known to all but the oldest inhabitants are a dull brown--the washing will reveal the beauty of the marble and granite beneath the crust. It is no light task, this washing, as the Hall alone is 280 feet long, 47 feet wide and 90 feet high to the crown of the stone vaulted céiling.~ The great gathering of lawyers will hold a re- ception in that wonderful o!d build ing known as Westminster Hall, which Sir Frank Baines of His Ma- jesty's Office of Works, claims to be "the most important historical monu- ment possessed by the British peo- ple." Hauntpd Hampton Court. There is a ghostly legend attach- ing to the old palace, which by a curious coincidence, appears to have been confirmed. The Palace Clock, which was made for Henry VIII in 1540 is known as "The Clock of Death." It is stated thdt when Queen Anne of Denmark, Queen of James 1. died, the clock, which was striking four at the moment, stopped, and the same thing has happened on many subsequent occasions when some person long resident in the Palace, has died within its precincts. On Friday, also the 13th of June, the clock stopped, and early next morning Miss Jane Cuppage was found dead in her apartments. These apartments, in which she had lived for many years, were a part of those occupled by King Edward VI. when he was Prince of Wales. Miss Cup- page was the daughter of General Sir Burke Cuppage, who served | under Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo. Valuable Skins, The first fur "trade" exhibition to be held in London, the centre of the fur trade, was opened on June 1st, at Holland Park, when skins valued at $3,000,000 were shown to buyers from all over the world. The feature of the shown was a long ermine coat with a detachable cape, trimmed with ermine talls. It has big bell sleeves, a racked collar, and' is lined with white veloured crepe. A fur which experts say will be worn after the summer is dore seal. This is a natural seal dyed a golden brown. In the making of one skunk stole 3 1-2 miles of cotton was used, and 20 miles of cotton are needed for making a full length coat. Canadian V.C.s Post.

Over 7,000 people, including many hundred Canadian visitors now in London, attended the Thanksgiving Service at 'St. Paal's Cathedral on June 18th. Every geat in that vast building was occupied and the con- gregation celebrating Waterloo Day was drawn from every corner of the Empire. Suddenly, breaking the silenca following on prayer for the bereaved, for the absent and for those who had died for the Empire, Under the Author Prof. F. the wild music of bagpipes was heard and the pipers of the Scots Guards, playing a wailing lament "The Flow- ers of the Forest" paced from the south transept to the nave and then across to the north transept; the shrill notes of the pipes gradunally last tragic notes died away and were followed by Christiana Rosetti's joyful "Asdthem to the Memory of the Brave.) t Lon">n's New Park, Sir Henry Lennard, of West Wick- ham, has offered the Corporation of London 36 acres of land at Spring park, 14 miles from Charing Cross, to be used by the public as an open space. The Corporation already owns West Wickham common, so that the district is well klown to Londoners, especially those living in the south. Mich of Spring Park is woodland, the timber consisting mainly of cheftnut - trees. West Wickham Court, where the Lennard family has lived for 360 years, has associa- tions with Henry VIII. A yew walk in its gardens is known as "Anne Boleyn"s Walk," tradition stating that here she used to walk with King Hal when staying in the house with her uncle, 8ir Henry Heydon, the then owner. In one of the win- dows are the initials of Henry and Anne, intertwined with a true lovers' knot, and a pair of Anne's shoes is among the family treasures. .

Registered in accordance with the Copyright Ach PRESERVING EGGS FOR WINTER USE. This is the best month in which to pack eggs for winter use. They are now lowest in pfice and best in quality. The consistency of the albumen, or white, is greater in the Spring than it will be in the warmer months, when it will become thinner, or more watery. When the white is in this condition the eggs do not keep so well. Eggs put in preservatives now will be in excellent condition for use in the kitchen in Oc- tober, November, December and Janu- ary--the months when the market price of eggs is high. Two Ways to Preserve Eggs-- There are several successful methods of preserving eggs at home. The two most common methods are by the use of lime water and water-glass. Earthenware crocks or wooden pails gre the most satisfactory containers. Neither lime solution nor waterglass affects them. About six quarts of so- lution in a three-gallon container will preserve 10 dozen eggs. About nine quarts of water and one quart of wa- terglass in a five-gallon jar will pre- sérve 15 dozen eggs. Storing in Lime Solution Lime solution may be made by slacking two pounds of quick lime in a small quantity of warm water. Mix this with two gallons of water and add one pound of salt. Stir thoroughly and allow to settle. Pour off the clear so- lution, and use it for the preservative. This is sufficient to preserve about 12 dozen eggs. in Waterglass-- Waterglass can be purchased at any drug store, but purchase only enough to preserve the eggs which you expect to put down this year. The proper proportions for mixing are one pint of waterglass to nine pints of boiled wa- ter, which has been allowed to cool. Stir the mixture thoroughly, pour into the crock or pail and put in the eggs. Waterglass in powdered form is also on the market. This, if dissolved ac- cording to the instructions on the pack age, is more reliable than the liquid form. Neither the lime nor waterglass solu- tion is good for more than one year's use. | Store the eggs in a cool place, pre- ferably in the cellar, and be sure that the tops of the eggs are covered with two or three inches of liquid. Add fresh water to replace that lost by evaporation. Put Down Only Good Only good fresh, or newly laid eggs should be used for preserving. The bet- |" ter quality of the eggs the surer the housewife can be that they will keep satisfactorily. If eggs are to be pur- chased it is better to buy all at one time, so as to get them at wholesale price; but if the eggs are produced at home, it is best to half fill the jar with the solution, and then add the surplus eggs from each days gathering. Infer- tile eggs are better for preserving than fertile. Candling Eggs at Home-- Examining eggs to determine their interior quality is called "candling." Everyone knows, that some eggs are better than others, but the ease with which the good ones can be picked! out is not generally understood. A postal card addressed to the Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, will bring you a candler free of charge. By the use of the candler and an ordinary coal oil lamp or an electric light, the quality of the eggs may be easily de- termined. Good eggs will appear clear and firm. The air cell (the white spot at the large end of the egg) should be { small, not larger than a ten cent piece, '| and the yolk may; be dimly seen in the A large air cell and a dark, free- Y yolk, indicate that the egg i i the contents appear black or very the gg is unfit for food. If you n doubt about the quality of any you are candling break a few of into a dish and examine them. iS an excellent way to learn how and iad dy look when they are being can . r r as Good-- . Unfertilized, incubat Or eggs may be ~Jused in many of the ways. in which "fresh eggs are served, if they are used But they intend | immediately. During the incubation | process, the white becomes watery and | no longer holds together; and these | eggs are therefore not satisfactory for poaching. | Questions on This Week's Lesson-- | 1. Why are Spring eggs better than | Summer cggs for preserving? 2. Name the two best solutions for | preserving eggs at home. 8. Why should only new-laid eggs be used for preserving? 4. How may one determine whether | eggs are. good or bad? | Answers to Last Week's Questions-- { 1. The most populdr varieties of tur- | keys are the Mammoth Bronze, be- | cause of its size and hardiness; the White Holland, because of its domes- tic and prolific qualities; the Narra- gausett and the Bourbon Red. 2. Turkeys are generally incubated | by turkey or chicken hens, although {on large plants incubators are used | with every satisfaction. 3. The «first essentials in cooping young turkeys are dryness and ventil- ation. Poults are very susceptible to cold and dampness, and every precau: | tion must he takkn to keep them warm and dry. The wet grass of early morn- | ing, if they are allowed to go through I it, will cause heavy mortality. . | Young turkeys should be given i the same feed as young chickens, but { should be fed more sparingly. When |a month old, if on good range, they | will get about all they require. A feed | of grain given always in the same place will bring them to any desired place to roost at night. ------------------------ George Elmey, Belleville, is un- ! der arrest for an offence against his | eleven-year-old stepdaughter. { Amos Bongard, South Bay, has bought Miss Ila Welsh's residence on Grove street, Picton.® Dr. Halloway has bought the re- sidence and practice of Dr. Fielding at Consecon, The firm of W.
