captain of La Corinde, in 1904, was but
nineteen years of age, and is described
as ''iorid, healthy, active, lively and of
elegant proportions" but not a word
as to his qualifications as a seaman.
Sir Fleetwood Pellew commanded a
ship at sixteen, and at eighteen was
captain Of a seventy-fOur-gun frigate.
AT the same time, pidshipmen of for
ty-fye and upwards were frequently
messmates with youngsters Of similar
rank of eleven and twelve. These old
middies were aged but not Inefficient;
the want of a little money and infiu-
ence had kept them at the foot of the
ladder. But probably the youngest ma
val officer of high rank ever heard of
was James, Duke of York, who eveI-
tually succeeded his brother, Charles
H., as king. He was made lord high
admiral of England when a little chap
of five by his father, King Charles L.
The duke subsequently held high COM
mands on active service, and, curious to
relate, his first great victory at sea,
fought Off Lowestoft against the Dutch,
took place on June 3, 1865, exactly
two hundred years before the birth of
his successor in the ducal title, Vice
Admiral 81. r. III. the Prince of Wales.

There's a detail to do the carving, and
we all step up and get what we want
and go set down by some tree TO eat it.

and there's ice cream, and there's pure,
genuine coffee that the old ladies make
in abundance. Then there's fried

editing that he told at a banquet fifty
years ago.
THE :nan who introduced Gen.
Hawley. began by saying that editors
were always VI to mischief of one kind
or another. He said there was a Hart
ford man who orce went to a Hart
ford editor and said Indignantly:
What did YOU mean. you scoun-
drel. by printing my name in your
obituary column this morning.?
why said the editor. aren't you
dead? l thought YOU were dead of
course. Don't YOU remember promising
me last week that if you lived till
yesterday you would settle that ac-
count Of mine?'
1T was hard to get the best of an
editor" continued the Hartford man.

WEST INDIAN SUGAR.

consul General w. r. Holloway, at
Halifax, Nova Scotia, sends to the De
partment of Commerce and Labor, an
interview with a prominent Halifax
merchant, which he had recently, fol-
lowing an extended trip that the mer-
chant took through the West Indies.
The merchant is quoted as follows
Trinidad has the largest sugar es-
tate in the British West Indies, the
Madeleine, with a capacity for crush
ing 1000 tons of cane daily and pro
ducing 40 tons of sugar. The depres-
sion in the sugar trade for SO many
years has caused a change in condi
tons, and land has been let out to
small farmers, who bring their cane
to the mills for crushing. Last year
they were able to secure only 9s. 49,
I'D per ton; this year they are getting
las. ($3.4). Large tracts of land that
hitherto have been lying idle are now
set out in cane. The prospects for
trade and profitable industry in the
West Indies are brighter than for years.
There is no reason why Canada should
not get a good share of this trade, aud
each connection that we make with the
West Indies through our banks or
through commerce generally must be
for mutual advantage. AT the present
time, outside of yellow crystals, which
are popular in the English markets, the
West Indies sugar finds an almost ex-
elusive market in Canada.
Trinidad is in position to COM
mand a great part of the trade of Ven
ezuela, though at present owing to the
action of President Castro, this trade
is reduced to a minimum, if not alto
gether prohibited. Castro's own coun-
try suffers more than does Trinidad
from this embargo, and the future may
soon work a change"

age price was one-half cent per kilo-
gram (2.2 pounds) more than that of

due to exceptional circumstances. The
unusually long dry season resulted in
a greatly reduced crop on the Pacific
slope, the yield in some places being
less than one-half the normal crop. in
some one-third less, while in other
places there was practically no crop at
all. As all the coffee shipped to San
Francisco grows on this slope, this
shortage accounts for the small per-
centage of the crop which went to the
United States as compared with ordi-
nary years. The shortage on the Pa
cific slope would have been more than
made good by the crop on the Atlantic
