q very paradise which no visitor should
miss seeing. :,
Hampton Court Palace Is also we'll
worth q visit. This binding was com.
menced by Cardinal Wolsey 10 1916, but
seized from him by Henry VIII before
its completion. Il has been the scene Of
q vast deal Of royal reyelry and lieen-
tiousness. The palace Is now occupied
by q number Of people who are In q
MEASURE pensioners on the Queens
bounty, but all the interesting rooms are
open 70 the public, and are filed with the
paintings TO the number Of 1000, OF the
Best artists. A few Of the rooms still have
In them the furniture, &C., Of their for.
mer kingly occupants. /,
l might name many other places and
objects Of great interest, which have been
provided BY the government or private
bounty, for the free education and enter
tainment OF all. And in addition to these
are many others which may be seen at q
merely nominal price. Charitable insti-
%tutions, TOO, abound on every hand.
The largest hospital here, containing
seven hundred and ninety beds, and an
innumerable number Of smaller ones,
many Of which are for special forms Of
disease, are supported by voluntary con-
tribulion. A very interesting institution
TO those engaged in the good work Of car
ing for the wants OF destitute children is
the Founding Hospital. This was
founded In 1879. I attended 4 service
recently in the very fine chapel Of the
institution, and was interested in hearing
the singing Of the inmates, now number.
ing $50 children. These, led by 4 half
dozen adults, constitute the choir. No
children are received into the hospital
except the Illegitimate, and these must be
brought by the mother herself, when the
child Is between the age Of three months
and one year. The infants are sent TO the
country until three years old, when they
become inmates Of this city institution.
Here they are cared for, the boys until IA
years and the girls Is years old. They
are then bound out 10 learn some useful
business OF employment. Most Of the
girls become domestics, and many Of the
boys 20 into the army as musicians or
In some other capacity. The majority Of
the members Of the Band that came over
from the British army to participate in
Gilmore's jubilee q few years ago, are
said to have come from this institution.
Dickens has somewhere described n Of
the dinners OF the Founding Hospital.
TIE children may be seen at dinner i'm.
mediately after the Sunday morning ser.
vice.
But the charities Of London do not
stop with caring for human want and des.
titution. Here Ia an advertisement which

delight the soul Of our own Bergh.

The dog seems to be. 8 highly prized
animal over here. A fourth Of the ladies

attached TO them by u string. | can't
but have a sort Of feeling that the largest
brain Is at the dogs end Of the rope
in these cases. I have said nothing Of
the Westminster ABBY, St. Paull's
Cathedral, the Crystal Palace, the
Tower Of London &C., because these are
things every body has heard Of, and
every body Is expected to see. A doubt.

a few hints as to the chief objects Of in

tels or boarding houses, DC, &c; all BY

ways more economical for two persons
