In course of time there will be) as many Royal dukes, as there were in Victoria's time, when King Edward (Prince of Wales) and his brothers the Dukes of Edinburgh, Connaught, and Alb- any sat in the House of Lords, Prince Henry, the King's third son, has just come of age but it is highly improbable that he will receive a ducal title for some years.

In St. George's Workhouse, now closed by the Southwark Guardians, several writers have claimed to discover the birthplace of Oliver Twist and the place in which that "greedy boy" made his staggering request for "more".

In the serial edition of the story, Dickens named the town Mudfog. which has a riverside auggestion about it, but in volume form the story appeared with the nome cautiously omitted, and a note hinting that rumours had been abroad. So the identity of Oliver's | "home" is lost, but the copper which failed to supply the "more" is preserved, for a lasting mean- Corial to Bumble.

The "pillar-box red" with which the Guards are now again adorned dates much farther back. than the days of Marlborough. It was the uniform of Cromwell's New Modul Army, which was the nucleus of the Regular Army of England. The New Model was formed by an ordinanco of February 15, 1645. Thus the colours which we now associate with Royalty were first worn by the army which was to bring Royalty, temporarily, to an end; for red with blue facings happened to be the colours of the senior corps both of cavalry and infantry, Regi- ment was distinguished from regi- ment by facings of the particular colonel's colours; hence the troops of the General, Sir Thomas Fairfax,
