Foreigners in London.

1t is popularity believed, says a
contemporary, that there are more
Scotsmen in London than in Edin-
burgh, and more Irishmen than in
Dublin, AS a matter of fact, the
total Of these two races in the whole
Metropolis amounts to only about
100000. If you happen to be a
native Of either country, it is certain
ly remarkable what number Of
fellow. countrymen you will meet.
But a calculation shows that in
10000 Londoners OF all kinds only
108 are Irish, 80 are Scotch, 45 are
Germans, rs are Poles, 20 Russians,
II are Frenchmen, 8 are Italians, z
are Dutch, are Austro- Hungarians,
five are Swiss, four are Swedes or
Norwegians, three are Belgians, one
and half are Danes, one is a
Spaniard, while three.quarters OF
one is a Turk. There are not very
far short of 100000 of Irish, Scotch,
and foreigners altogether in London,
which means that for every "a Eng
lishmen and Welchmen there is just
one who comes from elsewhere.-The
Family Herald.

Extracts From Letters From the
Two Heroic "Cocks of the

The Royal Caledonisn Asylum,
which was founded in 1916 for the
special purpose OF maintaining and
educating the children of Scottish
soldiers, sailors and marines who
have died or been disabled in the
service OF their country, has, at a
court Of guardians, on the motion Of
Lieutenant. General 6. H. Moncrieff,
seconded by DR.. d. M. Forbes, un-
animously resolved to admit into
the institution, without payment or
election, any children of Scottish
soldiers who have lost their lives or
been disabled during the present

The Aberdeen Free Press states
that Piper George Findlater, X
Company, LIST Battalion Gordon
Highlanders, has written to his aunt
in Aberchirder as follows: "Rawal-
pindi, November 5, 1S97.-Dear
Aunt,--I now write you this letter
to let you know that l am lying
wounded in Rawalpindi Hospital,
having been shot through the an
kles. am getting on very well, and
l don't think 1 will lose my leg, as
at first expected, although the doc
tors are not quite sure. | suppose
you will have seen by this time by
the papers that l got wounded on
the Goth of last month (October) in
that terrible charge that my regi-
ment made. | was in the front play
ing the charge and got three shots
into me, but there was only one very
serious, and that stopped me-"
Findlater goes on to speak Of
domestic affairs, but says nothing
further about the charge. In a
letter to his sister few days after
the charge of Dargai he mentions
that when the Gordons got the
command the charge he was the first
to strike up on the pipes, but had
not gone far when he fell, shot
through the ankles. In letter to
his aunt at Warthill, Aberdeenshire,
dated "Base Hospital, Rawalpindi,
November &c." Lance Corporal p.
Milne, piper, LIST Battalion Gordon
Highlanders, says: 81 suppose by
the time you receive this you will
have seen by the papers that l have
been dangerously wounded; but |
have pulled through all right and
am getting stronger every day. l
had letter from the sdjutant of
my regiment telling me that Sir
William Lockhart, commander of
the Tirah Field Force, has had
telegram from the Queen asking
about the wounded, and that she
mentioned my name in particular,
I am sure it was very good OF her
Majesty to have taken notice of me,
and shall be forever grateful for
the kind interest she has shown. l
