crack." Terri- of the capital's torial Corps, whose memorial, a pair of solid silver altar candle-i sticks, were dedicated in St. Paul's Lathedral recently, have selected an appropriate method of com- memorating their fallen. The candlesticks weigh eigh: hundred ounces, and the majarity of the silver bas contributed by relatives,' who sent cups and medals won by their dead sons to be melted down and incorporated. in the memorial. TLR.B.'s lost heavily in the war, and their fallen numbered 1,700 of all ranks.
One of the most "threatened " of the City churches at the pres- eat moment is probably All- Hallows in Lombard-street. A certain banking concern is anxious to purchase its site at a huge figure. Not a very imposing structure, it is none the less an exceedingly interesting one. Tucked away in a little church-1 yard behind this famous thorough- fare, it has a secret all to itself, which does not seem to have been mentioned in the text books. The church. built by Wren, bas a fine "queca-post" roof of oäk, which is hidden from the congre- gation by an ordinary ceiling. Between these, in a considerable! space, were stoted during the Napoleonic wars the rifles which would have been used by the citizens of London if and when Roney had ever succeeded in invading England.
Scieztific safeguards of health have so lengthened the average span of life that English in- surance companies are giving serious consideration to a revision of their expectancy tables. The public is paying too much for insurance, as the great war on disease bas, lessened, the risk assumed by the underwriters. Long bours of sleep, regular habits and the plentitude of wholesome food of the past are gone, but while the people are living under a far greater strain than ever before, statistics show that science bas triumphed over the drawbacks of civilization and people are living not only longer lives, but lives freer from disease.
