CARRYING ON. The following is a pleasant instance of the imperturbability of our men under shell fire. Two horses were sunstruclc, and a man was told off to take them out under the trees, cool their heads, bathe their legs and so forth. and'to repeat the operation every halfhour. He did it, and then lay down for an interval, when a shell came along, threw down both horses, and rolled him over and over, -on the ground. Others hastened up to see if he was killed, but found him patiently bathing the horses' legs. "Well, you ace," he "'said "I was sort of dozing when the shell came and shook mc up, and I looked at my watch and saw it was time to begin again."

ADMIRAL HALSEY BLUSHED. When Rear-Admiral Halsey opened a new sailors' rest in the East End he was greeted by a seaman from one of the submarines, who went up to him and put out his hand. The Admiral smiled, shook hands, and said: "I know your face. Weren't you with me in Australia?" "Yes, sir," replied the sailor. "In 1902. I just want to congratulate you, for you are a man, sir, and always treated us like men, too!" The Third Sea Lord blushed. "Thanks for the testimonial," he said, "one of the best I have ever had."
