At Cambridge we visited all tho
men’s colleges where we saw many
interesting things, among them the
original manuscript of
“ Henry
Esmond” . Wo bad a fine luncheon
in one of the college dining rooms
with the Arch-Deacon. Auntie, of
course is much interested in the
two women’s colleges, Newnhnm
and Girton, which we will visit later
on.
and fascinating place I have yet
seen. First we visited the castle,
the finest one that nas been pre
served.
It is still in use and

and what must have been a hug"
rock; part of the rough rock being
built into the wall. It is supposed
to have keen built about 900 yeats
before Christ, and was then called
‘ Maiden’s Castle” .
An interesting
part of tho castle is that once occu
pied by Queen Mary, and where
James VI was born, and lowered
down over tbo rock thousands of
feet in a basket.
One of the finest sights in Edin
burgh was that of the Queens
Scottish Itegirneut, in their kilts and
full Highland costume. From the
castle we went to see St G iles
Cathedral, and from there to Holy-
rood
Palace
and
chapel— the
chapel roofless now. In the Palace
we saw the rooms which once be
longed to Mary Quean of Scots; her
bed left just as it was in her time
but now falling to pieces with age.
One can still see the private stair
case leading up into her rooms.
After a drive, we shall go to the
great Scottish Exhibiton.
It is
strange we should happen along
just in time for this and also the
great Franco-Britisli one.
30,000 visitors. This, at a very con
servative estimate, should swell the
figures to something like $3,500,000.
It will be noticed that no estimate
has been given of the butter and
poultry, eggs, pork and beef.
For
these it would be safe to add an
other $500,000.
Th:s estimate is
probably much too low, as it is only
about $27 for each farmer.
For
the root, grass, hay and grain crops
we may safely add another $ )00,000.
This makes a grand total production
of the farms and gardens of $4,500,-
000, an average of over $387 per
acre. As the above figures are con
servative, it is thought that $400
per acre is only a fair estimate of
the returns from every acre of the
islaud under cultivation. So much
for the Agricultural and horticul
tural returns.
The stone quarries of Guernsey
are also famous.
They produce
the hardest granite known in Great
Britain.
The revenue from this
source alone is over $3,000,000 per
year. They are shipping at the
present time every week day be
tween three and four thousand tons
of crushed rock for macadam and
blocks for building.
The valne of farming lands is
given in the address as based on
sales of the last five years equaling
£250 or about $1200 per acre.
Land rents from $35 to $100 pcracre
or about 10 per cent on its value.
The money required and in circu
lation through the banking houses
of the island is estimated at $100,
000,000 annually.— Country Gentle
