It is no doubt very alarting to see that the estimated expenditure of the current year is 906 .millions, as compared with 170 millions audited in 1913-14, or. if we take interest on debt into account 1,282 millions as agaimst less than 208 millions. But if we remember that the purchasing value of money is co bly less than half what it the war—the bo: of trade figurs that the ‘same v in money value from two to five times the pre-war figure—then we see that the expenditure has not gone up, as it ap- pears to_do, sixfold, but less than three- fold. In 1918-19 the expenditure was more than three times as great as it is now, and we are now paying 123 mil- lions in war pensions, 45 millions in bread subsidy, 25 mililons for housing subsidies and materials, and many oth- er serviees which are legacies of the war. Old age pensions, education and the ministries of health and labor show large but necessary increases. The de- partments have been cutting down ex- penses, but it is somewhat surprising that the admiralty has not cut down its staff more drastically. There is still room for severe retrenchment. Beggars Coming to Town.—The “old soldier” is a traditional figure of men- dicancy, simply because in former times the man broke in the wars had little chance of picking up a living except from casual charity. = After the Napo- leonic wars the country. swarmed with beggars, and it was in fact on that ac- count that the London Mendicity Society was established in 1816. With a pen- sion roll of over £120,000,000 a year, we shall be spared the worst features of a cedtury ago, but there are already signs that beggars, who disappeared dur- ing the War, are not an extinct race. Italy's New Pompeii.—Perhaps the queerest use to which prisoners of war were put was the excavation of Ostia the harbor of ancient Rome at the mouth of the Tiber. . Austrians helped to put the flnal touches to a work which has been going on for many years, and there is now a second Pompeii less than an hour's journey from the Italian capital. Founded more than twenty centuries ago, Ostia became the chief station of the Ro- man fleet and the port of Mediterranean traffic.

Craigmillar Castle. Craigmillar, where today the king lays the founda- tion-stone of the new buildings of thej Univgrsity of Edinburgh, has many Roy- al memories, for the old castle, built in 1454 by Sir William Preston, who pre- sented St. Giles's Cathedral with a re- puter armbone of -its patron, was held under tenure from the crown on the ex- press condition that whenever required it should be resigned for the sovereign's use. Several of the Stuart kings exer- cised their right in this respect, and lived awhile at Craigmillar Castle jand it was there while Queen Mary was in residence that a number of her lords, after vain- ly urging her to seek a divoree from Darnley, made a compact for the removal of that “young fool and proud tyrant®™ London’s Water.—The threat of the employees of the Metropolitan Water Board to come out on strike unless their demand for a f4 minimum -is conceded by next Saturday is due to the failure of the Whitley council to come to a settle- ment. The men we believe, somewhat overestimate their power when they sug- gest that they can render London water- less within a few hours. If such a strike should happen, however, it is more than likely that Londoners would have to be content with a restricted supply, and with unpurified water.. But it is not likely that matters will be allowed to reach this pass.—London Chronicle. Politeness is a coin that passes eur- rent in every country on earth. Rats Overrun Town.
