Indignantly That Girls Were Prim and Dull The Dowager Lady Raglan in her volume of recollections, Memoirs of Three Reigns, offers a spirited defence of manners and customs a century ago in the Victorian Age. A hundred years ago, she says proudly: Husbands would go so far as un- ashamedly to avow before company their devotion to their spouses, and would even on occasion boldly ad- dress the latter in such eadearing terms as. "My most cherished love!" "My dearest dear!" or "My adored and sweetest fair one!" She married the grandson of that Lord Raglan who lost an armr at Waterloo, amputated by the exceeds ingly rough surgery of those days. He bore the pain without a mur- mur (it was before the age of anaesthetics), but when the opera- tion was finished and the orderly picked up the severed arm to carry it away, Lord Raglan, seeing his action, called to him: "Hallo! Don't carry away that arm till IT have taken off the ring my wifé gave me!" Lady Raglan has a quaint story of Queen Victoria's coachman on the first occasion when the Queen went by train in 1842: He insisted on being on the en- gine heside the engine-driver, with the idea apparently of better secur- ing the Queen's safety, Unluckily for him, the various tunnels through which they passed transformed his { mmaculate livery and soap-shining ' countenance from white to black, '0 that when he descended at the nnd of the journey he more resemb- 'ed a Christy minstrel than a re- "nectable coachman of the royal household, Not Dull She denies indignantly that Vie- torian girls were prim and dull: We were nothing of the kind. We were neither cowed, dull, nor prim! We had our men friends and we had our proposals , . , We hear a great deal nowadays about the con- stant chaperonage endured then, whereas the truth is that the alleg- £d close chaperonage sat so lightly on 'our shoulders that we were un- aware of being "crushed." In the huge houses there were masses of servants, Thus at Port Eliot, her grandfather's house: There was .a very large staff, The indoor servants included the butler, under-butler, valet, two footmen, an odd man, and a boy, There was the cook and under her were two kitchen-maids and a scullerymaid, In addition, there were three house- maids, two stillroom maids, two laundry maids and, to supervise them all, the housekeeper, My grandfather's outdoor staff was al- eo large, and Included 'a luggage man, who spent his days carrying and delivering parcels and boxes, The head coachman had under him two coachmren, three grooms, and a stable boy; while the head gard- ener had the help of at least four or five undergardeners, And there were alsd the gamekeepers, Household of 30 or 40.

How Director Says Catania, Sicily, Nov, 19, -- Prof. Alessandro Mallandra, director of the Mount Vesuvius observatory, pre- dicted Friday night that Mount Ve- suvius would show intense and un- usual activity in early December, Prof. Mallandra is assisting in the investigation of the recent Mount Etna eruption, "I forecast unusual and intense ac- tivity as an outcome of the relations of storms which have swept the At- lantic ocean this week," he said, "We have discovered marked rela- tion of volcanic activity with the weather, "Usually there is fair weather in Italy in October, but the last month has been stormy with abundant rains, which have contracted the magma in Mount Etna, thereby determining the oxygen and cdusing the upheaval of other gaseous substances, The same upheaval is occurring at Mount Vesuvius and ultimately will result in an eruption of more or less in- tensity, Worst is Over "Observations at Mount Etna in dicated that the worst is over, Therc may be minor outbursts, but they will be the last tremors of a tired monster," Scientists who measured the ex- plosion and flow of lava and gases in Mount Etna yesterday calculated that the volcano had emitted enough heat during the present destructive eruption to furnish all of Italy with electricity for four years, Prof, Imbo estimated that lava emitted up to Nov, 7 totalled 35, 000,000 cubic metres, GAR. T0 BUD LINETO SHERRITT Nine Promoters Put Up $1,500,000 Guarantee for 42 Miles of Rails Ottawa, Nov, 19.--By an agree- ment just effected with the promot- ers of the Sherritt-Gordon mine in Manitoba, the Canadian National Railways will build a branch rail- way into that property from the line recently completed to the Flin Flon property. The agreement is simi- lar to that with the Flin Flon pro- moters made a year ago, and which resulted in .the construction of 85 miles of railway in record time, Under the arrangement with the, Sherritt-Gordon promoters cash guarantee of $1,500,000 has been given by them to the Canadian Na- tional Railways together with a cash bonus of $125,000 for the quick construction of the railway, which will leave the recently coms pleted Flin Flon line at Mileage 52 and proceed 42 miles in a north- westerly direction, As in the case of Flin Flon line the Sherritt-Gordon line's construc- tion will commence late {in the year. The work will begin almost immediately and it fs anticipated that it will be completed by De- cember 1 of next year at the latest, In the case of the Flin Flon line, the 85 miles of railway repre- sents one of the most notable pieces of construction in the Dominion the project being completed within ten months, the daily average number much longer they endured that cold, with the safety of the beach in plain tantalizing sight, Langley and Medland do not know, they told the police, Their next memory, they said, was that of awakening on Mugg's Landing after dawn Saturday morn- ing: The canoe, they said, was grounded at the water's edge near where they lay. MINERS' FAMILIES NEED GREATER AID Loadon, Eng.,, Nov. 19,--A sum of over $450,000 ster.ing has been raised ia response to the appeal issued b the Lord Mayors of Lon. don, Cardiff, and Newcastle, oil behalf of women and children in the coal fields of South Wales, Durham and Northumberland, These funds are now practically ex hausted, and their Lordships hdve¢ therefore issued an appeal for far ther support. They point out that unemployment in the mining areas has grown worse during the year, and the call for help will be more urgent than ever during the coming winter, Last April the numbers unemployed in the coal fields were nearly 250,000. Today, notwith- standing the considerable numbers who have been transferred to em- ploymnt elsewhere, the number 'is even larger. It is proposed to ask the Lord Mayors and Mayors of England and Wales to attend a meeting at the Mansion House for the purpose of organizing a national effort to obtain a fund adequate for the ob ject of thé appeal and to take steps to co-operate with other schemes having similar objects 63 KING STREET, EAST of mien employed during the period of construction being 2,500, nr -------- eT RE i NE {]] jo ETE a y 1 Wy .
