PECULIAR TO BoArMEN.
DR.. Darlington Says They Haven't Much
Notion OF Time.

There are men who remember days aud
weeks with the greatest accuracy, and others
who appear to have no idea whatever of the
lapse of time Between these extremes
there are all grades of time memorizing
These peculisrities, asa rule, pertain to III
divijusls. but DR.. Darlington. the surgeon
Of the Marine Hospital Service, tells from
his experience of a class who appear to be
deficient in correct recollection of the pass
age of Father Time athwsrt their lives.
He says: III And that steambostmen, as a
class, cannot judge of past time at all
have riyermen coming To see me for treat
ment who will say Il was here two or
three weeks ago | ask them If it was tw o
or three weeks, which, it seems to me, any
person ought TO recollect find that they
cannot say with any detinitensss whatever. I
Am reminded of this fact by man who came
TO me last week. He said, however. that he
WAS pretty sure II was not more than three
weeks. When looked up my books found
that it wac four monnhs. This is only a
sample. but it illustrates the idea. Why
steamboatmen are so de hcent in their bottoms
of the passsg- of time cannot tell think
il is only csrelessness on their part. Their
life is humdrnm, and they count only the pas
sage of time by trips"

On the arrival Of q passenger train at
Derby the other day the carriage Taper
found in the spring of horse box a thrush's
nest full of eggs in process Of incubation.
This is an instance Of the migration Of birds
which even Write, Of Sel1orne, had not the
opportunity Of observing. The passion for
travel has been hitherto supposed to be con-
fined to featherless bipeds. and even among
them it is usually repressed when they are ex-
pecting an addition to their families. What
could have been the train Of circumstances
which led the bird to build in a railway train
1t is possible that they may have been de-
ceived by tie carriage Taper. The wood
pscker," says the poet, ''makes stiller by his
sound the inviolabIe quietness,r and perhaps
they confused his note with that Of the rail-
way official; ''the spring" Of the horse boz
may also have contributed to their mistake
Perhaps the naturalist, however, may have
some other explanation to ofier.-Pail Mall

The Old victory.

Malicious stories were told in the home
papers OF how the professional watermen
of Portsmouth played practical jokes
upon unsuspecting worshippers OF the
grand old Admiral who went down there
to see the famous flagship after the old
Victory had been taken into dock for re-
pairs. Whether tourists were taken on
board any other of her Most Gracious
Majesty's obsolete frigates, improvised
for the occasion, in the absence Of
the genuine article, or not, is i'm
material now, as the famous old
ship herself is again at her old moorings.
The Victory left the ship basin in Ports
mouth Dockyard on November 4th, hay
ing undergone thorough repairs, rendered
necessary by the leak discovered last
year. The Admiralty decided to devote
10000 towards the work Of renovation;
but this amount has been exceeded
owing to the fact that the greater
portion Of the stern had been eaten
away. All the old exterior timbers
above the water-line have been replaced
by teak planking, the ship has been
caulked and recoppered below the water
line, and everything possible done to
make her sound enough to last for an
other century. The return of the Vic
tory to her old position in Portsmouth
harbor, between the flagship and the
training ship st. Vincent, has been warmly
welcomed by the seafaring classes of the
port, who have undergone many priva-
tions during the eleven months the ship
was in dock.-[Sydney Herald.
