No royal castle lias cost Great
Britain more in hard cash than that
of Windsor, says the London Chron?
icle. When George IV. announced his
intention of making it a family resi?
dence parliament granted him ?300,001]
toward its reconstruction. For four
years (lie work went merrily on under
fresh grants, anil the king then took
possession of the private apartments.
That did not end the expenditure hO'.V
over. By the time William IV. had
satisfied himself that there was noth?
ing more to be done the castle bad
swallowed up close to a million
pounds.

The skull of Alexander Pope, the poet

mains. By bribing the sexton of the
church possession of the poet's skull
was obtained for the night, and lu the
morning a different skull was returned
instead. Tin.' cost of the skull, luclud
