Home! hold that the roast beef of Old England is the best in either world-Old of New. Smithfield) has, however, long shown a high appreciation of Dutch beef, and Frisian cattle have for a long time commanded high prices. It may be that after all British breeders generally" will have to follow the example of the few who seek to improve the native freed by introduction of the Frisian strain.

There are ninety miles of water- way on the Thames between Folly Bridge, at Oxford, and Kingston: and there are singolar. ly few bridges in all this long stretch. Reading is disturbed about this, and when it has com- pleted its present housing schemes, and built unto itself a пет post-office. it proposes to make plans for a" bridge over the Thames, somewhere near Mapledurham. Not long ego, on a winter's Sunday night an elderly patson was drowned. hard by, while panting himself across the Looded stream to cburch service. A bridge is badly: needed in the neighbourhood, but all river men will hope that the utmost care is taken over the designs. The Thames is too fair by Mapledurham to be marred by any opportunist structure of iron or ill-conceived stone work.

The custome of bakers in Ho. E1st-End of London of opening on Sunday morning for the sole purpose
of cooking Sunday dinners is recalled by a writer in a Home papers. The shatters off the shops were kept up, but the doors were open from about 11 o'clock until 2 and it was by no по means an uncommon sight| round about 1 o'clock to see queues of women and children patiently waiting their turn to collect the Sunday joint and the inevitable baked potatoes with, white cloths to cover and keep the food warm whilst it was being carried home. Another East-end custom which fell into disuse about the same time, say 30 years ago was that of public-bouses and bear-houses sending the patman out, cleaned up and with white apron ́on, each``morning! delivering balf-pint of beer in cans from door to door, much as the postman delivers letters to-day.
