man in. England a hundred years

man was Thomas Erskine, one of
the greatest lawyers and advocates

Erskine, which Mr. Charles G.
Harper has put into his book, "Ru-

which shows how this legal author-

Captain H. Edward Greenstreet;
commander of the New Zealand
Shipping Company's twineecrew
passenger steamship Rinettaka, re -
:coldly arrived in London atter
completing his seventy-first round -
the -world voyage, and has now
started en his seventy-second
globe -encircling voyage, in the con-
fident expectation that, before he
*eines ashore for good, he will have
reeled off a :century of such trips.
As he is still in the prime of life,
there emus 11.0' reason why the aim
le has. set before him .should not
be realized. Eachvoyage from
London to New Zealand means 25,-
000 miles of steaming. Then there
is from 1,000 to 2,000 miles on the
New Zealand coast, so that: each
round trip really means from 26,-
000 to 27,000 miles. Therefore, if
Captaisi Greensereet completes his
hundredth trip, he will have trav-
elled 2,700,000 miles. •

Hope. Ae Captain Egerton, the Ad-
miral took part in the bombard-
ment of the Sultan of Zauzihar's
Palace, and no one was more strict
inenforeing the order against
looting. Atter Captain Egerton's
vessel, -St. George, had returned
to Sinionee Bay Mrs. Egerton cele-
brated a birthday, and her hue -
band's servant, who had been with
.Captain Egerton on the Zanzibar
Expedition, came to her and asked
leave to offer her a birthday pre-
emie. Permission being readily tie-
aordeel, the servant handed her a
parcel, which, when Mrs. Egerton'
opened it, was found to contain
balf-a-dozesa silver table -forks, all
bearing the badge of the Sultan of
Zanziber. The artless -offend -r hed
to be reprimarded and the forks re-
turned to the Sultan. The men was
also told that the master-at-arms
