Coptain Crocker.-This venerable Captain ar
rived in the packet ship Pacific from Liverpool
on Tuesday morning, which completed his one
hundred and siriielh passage across the Atlantic.
Capt Croker has been commander since the
year 1892, and, with one exception, never had
occasion to call upon the underwriters Tor loss or
damages sustained at sea to vessels under bis
command. The case embraced in the exception
was, in the ship OTIS, of New York, lying in the
Downs on 18th February. 1907. when nearly one
hundred vessels were either lost or injured, the
Otis also sustained considerable damage. For
CAPTAIN lrockcr's exertions on that occasion IN
saving his ship and cargo from total wreck. the
underwriters at Lloyd's presented him with live
hundred guineas and piece OF plate, valued at
fifty euineas. In the long series OF years during
which Captain Croker has been at sea, he has
traded only to Europe-but he has been in al
most every port in. that continent He has saved
the lives of thirty-two persons by receiving them
/ from wrecks.-N. Y. Mercantile.

"Pampered Goose."-In some European coun-
tries the first step is to wrap the goose up in linen;
after which they stop their ears with peas, and
hang it up in dark place, where, neither hear.
ing nor seeing any thing. it remains in state Of
stupidity, neither struggling nor crying. After
this preparation they give, three times day. pei
let's, made of ground malt or barley; mixed up
with water, setting. within reach, water and sra-
vel. in pan. In this manner the birds are made
so fat, that without seeing. one can scarcely form
an idea of it.-1urf Register.

The late William HazIitt according to the
Monthly Masazine) made the following compa-
risou between the French and English ladies.

our fair countrywomen TO ape the grace and the
