The Queen’s laundry is situated on tho borders of Richmond Park, where linen is received from all the royal palaces. It has transpired that the Queen periodically superintends the throwing-out of the worn linen. Seated in the linen-room each article is held up before her and condemned or passed, as the case may be. Whaleships nowadays kill all the sharks they can get, and find it extremely profitable. They are used for making a substitute for cod liver oil. The natives of the North Pacific have also taken to sharkcatching. It pays them better than cocoanut produce.
