Remarkable Precccity Displayed at an

l remember, writes q correspondent,
nearing Lord Dufierin tell the follow
ing story Of the late Sheridan lie
Fanu: Sheridan's father-the Arch
bishop Of Meath, I think--was great
stickleT for punctuality, & regard his
son did not share. One morning young
Sheridan, then about eight years old,
descended unusually late for breakfast
and was net at the door By MS father,
watc,l Lin. land. rs this right, sir; is
this right?' demanded the prelate in
stern tones. Il don't know, Sir" re-
piled Sheridan, looking at the watch
and pretending to think the question
applied to it and net TO his conduct,
but l rather think it's fast"
Fer this impertinence young Sheridan
was condemned to write an essay on
The Three Ages Of Man" Here is
what he wrote:
There are three ages of man
l. When he is engaged in planning
every conceivable mode Of wicked
ness This is known as the age Of
innocence.
2. When he is putting his nefarious
plans into operation. This is called
the prime Of manhood.
9. When he becomes anxious about
his soul and turns to religion. This is
dotase.
And this from child Of eight!

ILLUSION WELL KEPT Up.
Midshipman's SeIf-Sacrifice Matter
of Wonder


In "Reminiscences of the Old N6vy"
is related an amusing incident CT
visit of the United States ship Pra.le
to Port Mahon in 1912. At fancy
dress ball enc of tho midshipment
went attired as an old boot. He had
ingeniously contrived tolerably fair
imitation of boot out of barrel hoops
and canvas. Getting into it, lie man
aged TO hold 1t up by means OF straps,
the sole resting on rollers, while
couple Of slight holes cut near the
top OF the leg enabled him to navi-
gate the ballroom and steer clear OF
posts and wall flowers He did rot
dance in costume, although he made
brave efforts to induce some fair
woman to accept tim-the excuse be-
irg that his foot was too large. The
most remarkable thing about this mid
sEipnlan, however, and the topic that
was most widely discussed was the
fact that he refused to allow his iden,
tity to become known. This became
simply marvellous when refreshments
were served. Wine flowed like water
and delicious sausage, called sotan-
sados, made exclusively by the Ma
horese, were offered U.-stintedly. The
fovtitude OF this nlidshipman in re-
fusinG, Or, rather, being unable to eat
or drink was widely commented upon
and aroused the sympathies CT the
other guests. Finally some Of the
ladies and gentlemen insisted on pour
ing wine into the peepholes of the
boot and then thrusting sausages into
Che same apertures. having vague
idea that somehow or other the drink
and food might reach the sclidcnyinS
prisoner within and he could drink
he wine and MUNICH the sobensados
"A Lis calm though somewhat heated
retreat. There seems to have been
no question about the wine reaching
him although probably not in a
trinkable way-but the sausages
stuffed into the peephC.e5 completely
cut off his line of vision. His hands
were engaged Unfolding up the straps,
so he endeavCred to tear the sausages
out with his teeth. But they were
strong and resisted all his efforts to
pull in or push out, so that he was
compelled to hcave to under short
sail and founder around the ballroom

Port of Spain. Trinidad. Jan. g.
The special permit granted by Ad-
miral Douglas. Il. ~, to the steamer
Bolivar, of the Orinoco Steamship Co.,
to pass the blockade and proceed to.
Ciudad Bolivar has been followed by
much adverse criticism here, but
mostly from persons interested in To-
cal competition for Orinoco river
freights. Admiral Douglas says that
he granted permission to the owners
Of the Bolivar because of the time lost
while rendering aid to the British
cruiser Fantome, aground in the
Orinoco river. He declares that the
Bolivar could have made two trips to
Ciudad Bolivar during the time she
was engaged in helping the Fantome.
Disintercsted parties in Port of Spain
