RUINS OF woLsEY's PALACE
Little Known But Remarkably Beauti-
full Relics of Antiquity In City
Of London.

During Queen Mary's recent explora-
ton of the old houses tenanted by the
Board Of Trade she saw one of the
most romantic and least known scraps
Of antiquity in Whitehall. This Is the
fine stone archway now filled in by an
official looking door underneath the Of.
fices--the water gate OF Wolsey's pal.
ace
Through this gate, we know from
the chroniclers, Henry VIII would
come to visit the cardinal "in a mask
with a dozen other maskers, all in gar
ments like shepherds made OF fine
cloth of gold and fine crimson" The
king would burst In upon the festivi.
ties upstairs, and for his partner in
the dance would single out Anne
Boleyn.
If you enter the prosy little room
where accounts are being added up you
can still e the cardinals arms carved
on what was once the outer side Of the
arch. The water gate and the crypt
like cellar are all that is left Of the
splendid palace. Nowadays clerks eat
their luncheon among the pointed
arches OF Wolsey's building.
The Board Of Trade has some of the
best ceilings in London. and the barrel
ceiling of the room where the messen.
gers dwell now-once the antechamber
to Lord Pembroke's great room Of
state-is especially beautiful.

TOMATO CANNING is
QUITE PROFITABLE
One Advantage Is That Industry
Offers Employment to Young
Folks During Vacation.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of ~Agricufture.)
The canning of tomatoes has in re-
cent years grown to be an important
commercial industry. according to the
department Of agriculture. In 1909
there were 1880, 900 cases Of 10 cans
each packed in the United States.
This immense pack exceeded the
combined aggregate of any three other
vegetables. Only tomatoes used in
commercial canning and not those
used in home canning figures in this
total.
1t is estimated that the area devoted
to tomatoes in the home garden is
equal to or greater than that en-
ployed In their field culture. OF the
quantity grown In the garden a con
siderable surplus goes to waste and
brings no return to the cultivator. To
insure plenty Of fruit for home use 1t
is customary to set out about twice
az many plants as are actually ueces-
sary.
In order that the canned product Of
the garden may find a ready market
1t must be put up in attractive form in
containers suitable for commercial
purposes, and should bear a trade
mark which Is distinctive and which
will tend to hold the trade for the
product as 1t gains a reputation In the
market. One advantage of the home
canning Of tomatoes In comparison
with other employment open to young
people in the country. is that It occurs
during the vacation period. The large
return in canned goods derived from
a single acre makes the industry re-
muneratlve and, since the canning
can be done during the vacation sea-
son 1t can be carried on without inter-
fering with school work. 1t Is surpris-
ing how many tomatoes can be raised
on an acre, and what little expense Ii
involved in raising and preparing
them for market. =
