An Author Ships as q Sailor.

Hans Jaeger, one of the cleverest au-
:hors of Norway. has accepted the place
Of a common sailor on one OF the Sean
dinavian ships. Long residence in tho
capital and close study of the lower
classes of society, which he loves to
write about in his books, have also I'M
dcrmined his health, forcing him to
adopt another profession. Although his
hands were soft and his head was Gov
cred by a worn-out silk hat when asking
for a place before the mast, his powerful
frame gave the CaptaiA confidence in
him, and secured him the place. 1t is
said, however, that he will devote his
few leisure hours to finishing a new
novel. Much interest is now taken in
his career. as it was not generally
known that he was so poverty-stricken.
