The town of indeor, at which
Witdsor Castle is located, lies '22
inih a west ol Loudon, on tho right
ha' k of the Thames Uiver, and in
18:'l contained a population of 12,
(ttt) iiihabitan's. The Ca-tle itself
stands on a commanding sito over
looking the river snd widi' stretches
of country on all sides. The walls
are high aud strong, with towerr at
intervals. At the western end are
the liell Tower, the Garter Tower
and Salisbury Tower; at the north
east is the I'rince of Wales Tower;
and at the southeast ia the Victoria
Tower. The Castle grounds, prop
er, ar divided into L wer Ward,
Middle Ward. I'pi'er Ward, and the
Sunk Garden, which is reached by
tm ana of a terrace, known as the
Fast Terrace. In the Lower Ward
are the Housed of the Military
Knights, Canons' Houses, Horse

snd AllnTt Memorial Chapel. Si.
George's Chael is without doubt
one of the finest specimens of eccles

only child of George IV. and wa
universally beloved for her many

King of the Ilelgian, but, to the
Inter so grief of the wholo nation
she died in child lied a abort while
after her marriage. The monument
is a national tribute. It consists o
two parts, or scenes in marble. The
first or lower is a lifeaizs likeness
of the dead Princeea lying draped
opon a bier, at each of the four cor
ners of whydi atanda a weeping fe
mole attendant. Thia is one view
of death, here is sorrow. The sec
ond scene is placed above and a lit
tie back of the first. In this tho
doors of a dungeon are burst otien

Issuing into the Middle Ward,
the most rioted object is tho famous
K Hind I ower, with a circumference
of 302 feet, and a height of m arly
HoO feet. This Tower stands on an
artificial mound which was con
s'rncted hy the Norman King, and
which was iu ancient times sur
rounded by a deep di'ch, but re
cently the ditcn has been converted
info beautiful gardens. 10 this Tow
er Kings and nobles have been im-
pris nied. I ascend a long flight of
steps necessary to reach the top, and
am well repaid for so doing. Fiom
this height I can look into 12 conn
lies of England ; can trace the wind

in either direction ; can see the town
of Eton, the estate once owned by
William Perm, tho region of Stoke
Poges Chnrch, where Gray wrote
his Elegy; and in addition to the
beautiful Parks can also see the
Hunnymede. From tho Tower I
get a good view of the Queen's Pri

east end of the Upper Watd. To

War on the Lone Skirt.
Short skirts for women are com
ing iuto greater favor every day and
for good reasons. They are not only
more convenient than 1 ng, drag
ging skirts, but are much mote
serviceable. The strongest argu
meut iu favor of the short skirt,
however, is that it is so much easier
to koep clean and is therefote much
more healthful. The sulj ct ot
dress reform is being discuseed w ith
great interest in Canada, not by wo
men alone but by physicians and
health authotitii s. One ol the eub-j-cts
tnt fully considered at a
Urge convention of physicians in
Ottawa recently was tuberculosis
and the means of its transmission.
An eminent physician gave it as his
opinion that one fifth of alt the
deaths in Canada last year resulted
from pulmonary consumption
There was a consensus of opinion
that trailing skirts were veiitable
germ traps and that their use out ot
doors should be strongly discunn
tenanced. It ia viry difficult to
make fashion conform to rules of
common eeoee, but the reason for
abolishing trailing skirts for s'reet
wesr should be sufficient to appeal
effectively to .every woman who
value her health.
Dragging dresses arc not necessary
to woman's attractiveness. Atlanta

able to feed herself and throughout
her life had to be fed like an intant.
Tho nearest approach of anything
normal she is said to have attained
was that when a child she learned
