Eccentric in habit, he wheeled about his children in a perambulator, their tiny fingers covâ€" Gradually his wealth vanished, and shortly be- fore his death he was selling orâ€" cred with costly rings. ungcs and matches in the streets. Sir Henry Campbellâ€"Bannerman has been credited with being able to sleep as easily in a standing position as he can lying down. Said, the Duke of Dcvonshire to him on one occasion: “You are like a. policeâ€" man, Banncrman; you can always sleep standing up.” An equally curious habit is that of Lord Rothâ€" schild, who. confesses that he can sleep better in a theatre during the performance than he can at any oth~ er time or place. A remarkable story is being told about M. Captier, the famous Paris sculptor, whose tragic. death took place recently. He wanted a model whose feet were perfect for his staâ€" ' tue of “Vcnus,”and experienced great difficulty in getting one. When he did succeed in this he found that. the lady could not sit for him, as she was engaged at other studies. She, howover, offered to have her feet cut off if M. C‘aptier would buy an annuity for her aged mother. Needless to say. the sculptor had to refuse this offer, much to the ap- parent rcgret of the plucky model. On one occasion the Bishop ‘of Norwich had a somewhat ludicrous experience of the cool inlpcrtllrlmbilâ€" ity of some young ladies. Passing a. cottage the Bishop was slopped by a voice from the garden asking him to open the gate. lle (lid so, and to his surprise, instead of the tiny mite. he expected to see, there stepped forth a girl quite big enâ€" ough to have opened the gate herâ€" ;elf. The girl's reply to Dr. Sheepâ€" shank’s query as to why she had Jot opened the gate herself was: "Please, sir, because the paint's yet!” On glancing at his hand the Bishop saw only too plainly the ‘.ruth of her statement. lllajor~General Sir Frederick Goldâ€" lmid, now an old man of eightyâ€" our, when swim-intending the con- :truction of a telegraph line many fears ago, successfully solved a dis~ lute which threatened to assume in- ernational importance.

This deli- V Late matter might have caused a crious delay to an important line, rut Sir Frederick got out of the difâ€" lculty by erecting over the disputed crr’itory iron and wooden poles al- lernately all the way across. _ Sir Wilfrid Lawson tells a good ltory, and often he is himself the "lero of it. At a recent Veto Bill lemonstration in Essex, Sir Wilâ€" trill, acknowledging a, vote of thanks, remarked that somebody had said he was “venerable,” and some- body else that he was “gallant.” l‘he one "term had something clerical about it and the other something military, but. neither the one nor the other was anything in his line. “I will tell you," continued 'Sir Wil- fru, "what I am.
