Ask n sailor It his ship Is a kicker, and he known vtllwhnt you mean, for It Is about the llrht question he asks when he takes thu helm. Up there on tho bridge In rough weather the man at the wheel has many a tough tussle if his ship, owing to her constructive Hues or ballasting. Is inclined to be skittish. Sometimes when rearing at the onslaught of a big roller the vessel may throw her heels in the nlr. the rudder swinging clear and her propeller lacing. Tho next moment, sluicing Into a wa tery hollow, (he enormous sldo pres sure causes a Violent drag ou tho rud der chains. Then, unless stoutly held or secured by kicking straps, round whizzes the wheel. Many n seaman, unable to let go In time, has been thrown, bruised nnd battered, to tho deck or, caught by tho spokes, has even been tossed overboard Into tho boiling surf. Pearson's Weekly. Freaks of Memory. As to freaks of memory, Marie Twain has told us of tho pilot who know ev ery bend, creek, current und shallow In tho Mississippi river throughout its whole mighty length, but could not re membor what ho had had for break fast.

No principal singer could sing every night In one week. Stnr tenors seldom sing moro than twice In ono week, nnd at rehearsals they sing for tho most part in n falsetto, says tho Manchester Guardian. It is said thnt the great Tamnngo used to tnke such enro of bis voice that ho never even spoko during the day when ho was slnRlng nt night. Ho carried on a conversation by means of a slato hung around his neck. Some baritones, on tho other tjand, have been habitually careless about their voices, nnd Berlioz speaks of a splendid bass singer who tramped about tho mountains In the snow all day with his throat exposed nnd snug magnificently the same night. But in tho wings nt Covent Garden you may seo Siegfried in shining ar mor with a woolen randier round his throat. Bismarck's "Mot." As might be expected of n man of iron, Bismarck's wit was of tho sledgo hammer sort. In 1802, nccordlng to "Intimate Memoirs of Napoleon 111.." by Baron d'Ambcs, ho went to Paris as Prussian ambassador. "1 have never heard n German spenk French ns you do." complimented tho emperor on tho occasion of their first meeting. "Thnnks. sire." returned Blsmnrck.
