TAMING A SHREW.
I have always had a slight suspioion
that the following narrative is not qnite
true. It -was related to pie by an old
seaman, who, among other incidents of
a somewhat adventurous career, claimed
to have received Napoleon's sword at
the battle of Trafalgar and a wound in
the back at Waterloa I prefer to tell it
in my own way, his being too garnished
with, nautical terms and expletives as to
bo .half unintelligible and somewhat
horrifying. Our talk had been of love
and courtship, and after! making me a
present of several tips invented by him
self, and considered invaluable by his
friends,', he related this Btory of the
courtship of a chum of his as illustrat
ing the great lengths to which young
bloods were prepared to go in his days
to attain their ends. j
It was a fine, clear day in June when
Hezekiah Lewis, captain and part owner
of the 6chooner Thames, bound JCrom
London to Aberdeen, anchored off the
little out of tb way town of Oxford, in
Suffolk. Among other ; antiquities the
town, possessed Eezekiah's widowed
mother, and when there was no very
great hurry the world! went slower in
those days the dutiful; son used to go
ashore mtiio snip's poat, ana after a
filial tap at his mother's window, which
often start leu the old lady considerably,
pass on his way to see a young lady to
whom he had already proposed for five
times without effect j
The mate and crew of the schooner,
seven all told, drew up in a little knot
as the skipper, in bis shore going clothes,
appeared on deck add regarded him
with an air of grinning, mysterious in
terest - ' r '
"Now, yon all know what yon have
got to do?1' queried the skipper.
"Aye, aye," replied the crew, grin
ning still more deeply.
Hezekiah regarded them closely, and
then ordering the boat to be lowered
scrambled over the side and was pulled :
swiftly toward the shore.
A sharp scream land a breathless
"Lawk a mussy me!" as he tapped at
his mother's windowi assured him that
the old lady was alive and well, and he
continued on his wayi until he brought
up at a small but pretty house m the
next road. r
"Morning, Mr. Rnmbolt," said he
heartily to a stout, red faced man who
sat smoking in the doorway.
"Morning, cap'n, morning, said the
red faced man. 1
"Is the rheumatism any better?" in
quired Hezekiah anxiously as he grasped
the other's huge hand.
"So, so, " said the other, "but it ain't
the rheumatism so much what troubles
me," he resumed, lowering his voice
and looking round Cautiously. - "It's
Kate." S
"What?" asked the skipper. i
"You've heard of a man being hen
pecked?" inquired Mr. . Rumbolt in
tones of husky confidence.
The captain nodded.
"I'm chick picked, " murmured the
other. ! ;
"What?" inquired; the astonished
mariner again. .
"Chick picked," repeated Mr. Bum.
bolt firmly, ' 'o-h-i-k-p-e-k-e-d I D'ye un
derstand me?"
The captain said that he did and stood
silent awhile, with the air of a man
who wants to say something, but is half
afraid to speak. At last," with a desper
ate appearance' of resolution, he bent
down to the old man's ear.
"That's the deaf un, 'i' said Mr. Rum-
bolt promptly. j
Hezekiah changed ears,' speaking at
first slowly and awkwardly, but becom
ing more fluent as he warmed with his
subject, while the expression of his lis
tener's face gradually changed from in
credulous bewilderment to one of uncon
trollable mirth. He became so uproari
ous that he was fain to push the captain
away from him and lean back in his
chair and choke and laugh until he near
ly lost his breath, at which crisis a re
markably pi-city girl appeared from the
back: of ; the house and patted him with
hearty good will j . ' ,
"That'll do, my dear,'"said thechok-;
ing ? Mr. Rumbolt "Hero's Captain
Lewis." ' ;- : ' ; .': rJ !- .
"I can 6ee him," said his daughter
calmly.- "What's he standing on tea
leg for?" t '- :
The skipper, who really was standing
. '. - -. . .J.j.'
in a somewnai consiraiueu utuuuuc,
colored violently and plaited both feet
firmly on the ground.
"Being as I was passing close in, Miss
Rumbolt," said he,, "and coming ashora
to see mother" j ' '
To the captain's.discomfort manifes
tations of a further attack on the part of
Mr. Rumbolt appeared, but were
promptly quelled by the daughter. ;
'Mother," she'repeated encouraging-
"I thought I'd come-ojn and : ask yon
just to pay a sort o' flying visit to the
Thames." ..'. '-' - K
i "Thank you. I'm comfortable enough
where I am," said the girt
"I've got a conple of monkeys and a
bear aboard which I'm tikingto a men
agerie in Aberdeen," coiitinued the cap
tain, "and the thought struck me yon
limight possibly like to see 'em." -
- "Well, I don't aaw,r saw ine nam
BeVin a flutter, i'ls it a big bear?"
"Have you ever seeu an elephant?"
inquired Hezekiah cautfonsly.
"Only in pictures," replied the girL
"Well, it's as big as. that, nearly,"
said be.. i .. . ; - '
The temptation was irresistible, ana
Miss Rumbolt, telling ber father that
she should not be long, jdisappeared into
the bouse in search of her bat and jacket,
and ten minutes later the brawny row
ers were gazing their fill into her deep
blue eyes as she sat in the stern of the
fccfrt and told Iewia to himself. .
.THE
It . was but a,; short ; pull . out to the
schooner, and Misr Rumbolt was soon
' on the deck, lavishing 'endearments , on
; the monkey and energetically prodding
the bear with a handspike to make him
growL . The noise of the offended ani
mal as be strove to get through the bars
of his cage was terrific, and the girl was
in the fall (enjoyment of . it ,wben , she
c became aware of a louder Uoise still, and
r turning; rouad saw; the seamen at the
" windlass.fS? iP::kgkf, -"if
' - V Why, what are they doingP'Uhe de
manded. ' 'Getting nprunchor?"- .:
. "Ahoy, there!" shouted Hezekiah
sternly. "What are yon doing with that
windlass?"
. - As be spoke the anchor peeped over
the edge of the bows, and one of - the
seamen, running past .them, took the
helm. . t
"Now, then," shouted the fellow!
"standby. Look lively there with them
sailst" . . .- . . ,
Obeying a light touch of the helm,
the schooner '8 bowsprit swung round
from the land, and the crew, hauling
lustily.cn the ropes, began to hoist the
sails.
" What the dev il are yon up to?' ' thun
dered the skipper. "Have you all gone
mad? What does it all mean?"
Vlt means," said one of the seamen,
whoso fat. amiable face was marred by
a fearful scowl, "that we've got a new
skipper." - ;-" . ... . . -
"Good heavens, a mutiny !" exclaimed
.the skipper, starting melodramatically
against the cage and starting hastily
away again. " Where's the mate?? ;
f "He's with us," said another seaman,
brandishing his sheath knife and scowl
ing fearfully." He's our new captain.
In confirmation of this the mate now
appeared from below with an ax in his
hand, and, approaching his . captain,
roughly ordered him below.
"I'll defend this lady with my life,"
cried Hezekiah, taking the handspike
from Kate and raising it above his head.
"Nobody'll hurt a hair of her beauti
ful bead, " said the mate,' with a tender
smile.
"Then I yield,." said the skipper,
drawing himself up and delivering np
the handspike with the air of a defeated
admiral tendering bis sword,
v "Good, " said the mate briefly as one
of the men took itvs
" "What!" demanded Miss Rumbolt ex
citedly. "Ain't you going to fight them?
Here, give me that handspike. "
Before the mate could interfere the
sailor, with thoughtless obedience, hand
ed it over, and Miss Rumbolt at once
tried to knock him over the head. Being
thwarted in this design by the man tak
ing flight, she lost her temper entirely
and bore down like a hurricane on the
remaining members . of the crew, who
were just approaching. They scattered
at onco and ran up the rigging like cats,
and for a few moments the girl held the
deck, Then the mate crept up behind
her, and with the air of a man whose
Job exactly suited him clasped her tight
ly round tho waist while one of the sea
men disarmed her.
"You must both go-below till we've
settled what to do with you, " said the
mate, reluctantly releasing her.
With a wistful glance at the' hand
spike the girl walked to the cabin, fol
lowed slowly by the skipper.
"This is a bad business," said the
latter, shaking his head solemnly, as the
indignant Miss Rumbolt seated herself.
"Don't talk to me, yon coward, " said
the girl energetically.
The skipper started.
"I made three of 'em run, " said Miss
Rumbolt, "and you did nothing. You
just stood still and le.t them take the
ship. I'm ashamed of you."
The skipper's defense was interrupted
by a hoarse voice shouting to them to
come on deck, where they found the mu
tinous crew gathered aft round the mate.
The girl cast a look at the shore, which
was now dim and indistinct, and turned
sopiewhat pale as the serious nature of
her position forced itself upon her.
"Lewis, " said the mate.
"Well," growled the skipper.
"The ship's going in the lace and
brandy trade, and if so be as you're sen
sible you can go with it as mate, d'ye
hear?"
"An s'pose I do, what about the
lady?" inquired the captain.
"You and the lady '11 have to get
spliced," said the mate sternly. "Then
there'll be no tales told. A Scotch mar
riage is as good s any. and we'll just
lay off and put yon ashore, and you can
get tied up as right as ninepence. "
"Marry a coward like that?" demand
ed Miss Rumbolt with spirit "Not if I
know it Why, I'd sooner marry that
old man at the helm. "
"Old BiH'g got three wives a'ready to
my sartiii knowledge," spoke up one of
thu sailors. "The lac!y''s got to many
Captain Lewis, so don't let's have no
fuss about it "
"I won't" raid thewlady, stamping
violently. ,
The mutineers appeared to be in a
dilemma, and following the example of
the mate scratched their heads thought
fully. "We thought you liked him," said
the mate at last feebly.
"You had no business to think, " said
Miss Rumbolt "You are bad men, and
you'll all bo hung, every one of yon. I
shall come and see it "
"The cap'n 's welcome to her for me,"
murmured the helmsman in a husky
whisper to the man next to him. "The
vixen!"
"Very good," said the mate, "if you
won't, yon won't. This end of the ship'U
belong to you after 8 o'clock of a night
Lewis, von must ga for'ard with the
men. "
' "And what are you going to do with
me after?" inquired the fair prisoner.
The seven men shrugged their shoul
ders helplessly, and Hezekiah, looking
very depressed, lit his pipe and went
and leaned over the side. -
The day passed quietly. ; The orders
were given by the mate, and Hezekiah
lounged moodily about, . a prisoner at
large. At 8 o'clock Miss Rumbolt was
given the key of the stateroom, and the
men who were not in the watch went
below.
The morning broke fine and clear,
with a light breeze, which toward mid
day dropped entirely, and the schooner
lay rocking lazily on a sea of glassy
smoothness. The sun beat fiercely
down, bringing the fresh paint on the
taffrail np in blisters and sorely trying
the tempers of the men who were doing
odd jobs on deck.
The cabin where the two victims of
the mutinous crew bad retired for cool
ness got more and more stuffy until at
length even the scorching deck seemed
preferable, and the girl, with a faint
hope of finding a 6hady corner, went lan
guidly up the common ladder. .
For some time the skipper sat alone
pondering gloomily over the state of
affairs as he smoked his short pipe. He
was aroused at length from bis apathy
by the sound of the companion noisily
closed, while loud frightened cries and
hurrying footsteps on deck announced
that something extraordinary was happening.-
As he arose to his feet he was
confronted, by Kate Rumbolt, who, pant
ing and excited, waved a big key before
him. ' " ' ' '
."I've done it," she cried, her eyes
sparkling.
"Done what?" shouted the mystified
Bkipper. ' r -
"Let the bear- loose, " said the girL
"Ha, ha, you should have seen em run!

"Let : the phew! let the good

exultant.- Kate, clapping her hands.
. "Just listenl" -.

Hezekiah ""sternly, "where you and I

Hezekiah as .be' drew bis .knife. T"He

? "Shan't," said Miss Rumbolt polite
ly. - -k:
"Go in at once, cried the skipper,
."quick with you." ! . - ,' . : V "
' "Sha" began Miss Rumbolt again.
Theiisbe caught his eye and went in like
a Iamb. 'You come- too, ' she said pret-
- -I've got to look after r my ship and
my men," said the skipper. "I suppose
you tnougnt tne snip would steer itself,
didn't you?" v t iS..y i -
S-A "Mutineers deserve to Abe eaten, "
whispered .Miss Rumbolt piously, some
what taken aback by the skipper's de
meanor. -'.r-fsr -C J
Hezekiah looked at her. ."They're not
mutineers,; Kate," he said quietly." "It
was, just a piece of mad folly of mine.
They're as honest a set of old sea dogs
as. ever breathed, and I only hope they
are all safe up aloft' I'm going to lock
you in, but don't be frightened; it shan't
hurt you." -.- ' .
He slammed the door on her protests
and locked it, and slipping the key of
the cage in his pocket book took a firm
grip of his" knife, and" running up the
steps gained the deck. " Then his breath
came more freely, for the mate, who was
standing a little -way np the fore rig
ging, after temptingthe bear with his
foot bad succeeded in dropping a noose
over its head. The brute made a furious
attempt to extricate itself, font the men
hurried down with other lines, -and in a
short space of time the bear presented
much the same appearance as the lion in
2Esop's fables, and was dragged and
pushed, a heated and indignant mass of
f ur, back to its cage. ;
Having locked up one prisoner, the
skipper went below and released the
other, who passed quickly from a some
what hysterical condition to one of such
haughty disdain that the captain was
thoroughly cowed and stood humbly
aside to let her pass. , - -,
The fat seaman was standing in front
of the cage as she reached it and regard
ing the bear with much satisfaction un
til Kate sidled up to him and begged
him as a personal favor to go in the cage
and undo it "i
"Undo it! Why, he'd kill me!"
gasped the fat seaman, aghast at such
simplicity.
"I don't think he would, " said his
tormentor, with a bewitching smile,
"and I'll wear a lock of your hair all
my life if you do. ?nt you'd better give
it to me before you go in. " ...
"I ain't going in, " said the fat sailor
shortly. : ."i
' 'Not for me?" inquired Kate archly.
"Not for 50 like you, " replied the old
man firmly. : "He nearly had me when
he was loose. I can't think how he got
out"
"Why, I let
Ram bolt airily.
him out, " said Miss
"Just for a little run.
How would you like to. bo shut up all
day?"
The sailor was just going to tell her
with more fluency than politeness when
Ae was interrupted.
"That'll do," said the skipper, who
had come behind them. "Go frward,
yon. There's been enough of this fool
ing; the lady thought you had taken the
ship. Thompson, 1 11 take the helm.
There's a little wind coming. Stand by
there,"
L He walked aft and relieved the steers
man, awkwardly conscious that the men
were becoming more and more interest
ed in the situation,, and also that Kate
could hear some of their remarks. As be
pondered over the subject and tried to
think of a way out of it the cause of all
the trouble came and stood by him.
. " Did my father know of this?' ' she in
quired.
. "I don't know that he did exactly,
said the skipper uneasily. "I just told
him not to expect yon back tonight"
"And what did he say?" said sha
"Said he wouldn't sit up," said the
skipper, grinning despite himself. Kate
drew a breath the length of which boded
no good to her parent and looked" over
the side.
"I was afraid of that traveler; chap
from Ipswich," said Hezekiah after a
pause. "Your father told me he was
hanging around you again, so I thought
I well, I was a blamed fool anyway.
, "See how ridiculous you have made
me look before all these men," said the
girl angrily.
"They've been with mo for years.
said Hezekiah apologetically, "and the
mate said it was a magnificent idea He
quite roared about it, he did. I wouldn't
have done it with some crews, but we've
had some dirty times together, and
they've stood by me welL But of course
that's nothing to do with you. It's been
an adventure I'm very sorry for, very. "
"A pretty safe adventure for you,"
said the girl scornfully. "You didn't
risk much. Look here, I like brave men,
If you go in the cage and undo that bear,
I'll marry you. That's what I call an
adventnra '.'
"Smith, " called the skipper quietly,
"Come and take the helm a bit. "
The seaman obeyed, and Lewis, ac
companied by tho. girl, walked forward.
At the bear's cage he stopped, and, rum
bling in bis pocket for the key, steadily
regarded tho brute as it lay gnashing its
teeth and trying in vain to bite the ropes
which bound it
"You're afraid," said the girl taunt
ingly. "You're quite white. "
The captain made no reply, but eyed
; her so steadily that her gaze - fell. He
drew the key from bis pocket and insert'
'ed it in the huge lock and was just turn'
ing it when a soft arm was drawn
through his and a soft voice murmured
in his ear, "Never mind about the old
bear."
And he did not mind. Chicago Trib

With other strange forms of lifefound

all who have seen it the latter will eat
and get fat very fat on anything from -I
grass roots to decayed fish or cattle, from
an' ant to a poisonous serpent, from straw
berries to rats and mice. In the wilderness
it roams about by day because the cats of
the desert persecute It most at night .
IN ear the settlements, where, . by the
way, is thrives begt, it is abroad at night
because man persecutes it In the day. Slow
moving as it sejems to be when the trav
eler sees it at sunset, it overtakes the ser
pents of the region in a fair race and kills
them by squatting on them and sawing its
body to and fro so that the edges of its
protective shell cut the snake to pieoes. It
captures mioe by sneaking on them cat
fashion and-throwing its body over them
like a trap. ' It grubs for worms. It robs
nests of eggs and fledgelings. Now, al
though it eats a great many things that
are repulsive to civilized tastes, the arma
dillo is itself a most delicious article of
food for any human taste, civilized or un
civilized. The variety in its bill of fare
seems but to add delicacy to its flesh. A
writer in the New York Sun, who has in
hiii journeyings eaten nearly every kind of" I
fish, flesh and fowl served between Ivigtut,.
Greenland, and Ushuala, Terra del Fuego,
claims, to have found nothing . quite so
much to his taste as an armadillo baked
In the embers of an outdoor fire on the
desert of Patagonia v
Effects of Temperature.
Experiments of Pictel, the French chem
ist show that animals and Insects oppose
a wonderful resistance to intense cold ob
tained from liquefied atmospheric air. A
dog placed in a copper receiver at a tem
perature of 60 to 90 degrees C. showed
a rise of bodily temperature of .5 in ten
minutes, and after l'A hours had only lost
1 degree. A little later, however; nature
gave up the struggle, the temperature fell
rapidly, and the animal died suddenly.
'Insects resisfca temperature of 28 degrees,
but not 35 degrees. Birds' eggs lose their
vitality at 3 to 3 degrees, ants' eggs-
at 0. Infusoria die at 90 degrees, while
hacteria are still virulent at 213 degrees.
This last fact is perhaps the most signifi
cant of all.
Feeding Boiler Fires at the Bottom.
According to The Manufacturers' Ga
zette, not only can smoke be suppressed
but a saving cf : SO per cent on fuel bills
can be effected by feeding boiler fires from
underneath Instead of from the top, as has
been the custom ever since coal became a
fuel. A mechanical 6toker introduces a
uniform quantity of fuel at regular inter
vals under the boiler, and the combustion
thoroughly consumes all of the gases and
smoke from tho green coal as it passes
through the bed of incandescent coke above
it.
A Remarkable Performance.
Place in the middle of your hand.
stretched out. flat a piece of money say a
3 cent piece. Take a brush a clothes-
THE COIN THAT CAKNOT BE REMOVED.
brush will do put it into the hand of one
of your friends and tell him he may have
the coin if he succeed in brushing it off
your hand.
Your friend tries bis Dest, but his enorts
are all in vain, for the coin sticks to your
hand as if it were glued-there. Of course
he is forbidden to strike your hand vio
lently with the brush, which would cause
the coin to fall instantly to the ground.
He must be content to try to brush it oft
as If he Were brushing off a spot from a
coat There will be many who will listen
with incredulity to the statement of this
experiment. However, let them try it and
see for themselves. ,
Scientific Brevities.
The weight of the sea water of the globe
is estimated at 560,000,000,000,000,000
tons.
According to some recently published
statistics, the United States produces near
ly as muob copper as all of thereat of the
world together.
In Germany aluminium is used for nails
In the boots of the soldiery.
Professor Gibson, in tests as to the value
of covering for steam pipes, concluded that
with coal at $4 per ton and 3,000 working
hours per year, the loss from a naked 2
Inch pipe was 64 cents per linear foot
The regions of the world which have the
greatest rainfall seem to be the regions
where tho largest number of thunder
storms occur. Thus along tho equator 60

Complete in 25 Volumes
The Encyclopaedia Britannica is not
only a complete compendium of all
knowledge, but it is a dictionary of
biography, a record of inventions, a
history of discoveries, a calendar of
dates, a registry of events, a glossary
of technical and scientific terms, a
collection of mathematical, chemical,
and mechanical formulas, a. hand
book of law, a medical guide.
Best At'as in the World.
The most thorough and reliable
key to business knowledge, a manual
of games, sports and amusements, a
theranns of statistics, a history of all
countries and people, a storehouse of
criticism, a treasury of curious learn
ing, a vade mecum for the household
and farm, as for the office and library,
a repertory of useful information. If
the professional or the business man
should undertake to put upon his
library shelves the special treaties,
which would cover as wide a range of
topics as those gathered In the Bri
tannica, relating to his own pursuits,
his purchases would extend ovet
scores of volumes, some of them rare
and expensive, and many of them not
brought down to date, j
Of all the. works of reference now
In the market, the Encyclopaedia
Britannica is not only the most com
prehensive, but by far the cheapest,
even at
f tie Original Price of $8 Per Volume.
Heretofore this work could be ob
tained only at a great cost from
$125 to $200. It is new, for the first
time, placed within reach of the
masses. A saving of only 15 cents a
day gives' you thts never-failing foun
tain of knowledge. Is it not worth
such a slight effort to obtain it?
The STAR will for a short time
furnish this great work! in Cloth bind
ing at $1.60 per volume; in fuil sheep
at $2 20 per volume, and will deliver
the whole set upon payment of $5
cash, giving you long time to pay the
balance, f
The purchase of any Encyclopae
dia short of the best is not only bad
judgment, but worse economy. 1 be
STAR will . furnish you this,' the
greatest literary production of the
century, i at one-third the former
price and on terms so accommodate
ing that none need deny themselves
the great advantage of owning this
mine of information. Remember that
the present is .the only time we can
call our own. We reserve'the privi
lege of withdrawing this offer at any
time. It is made as i a favor to the
STAR'S readers, and for the purpose
of increasing our circulation. Yon

books, or send us yon address for
farther particulars. Out of town
subscribers can order by mail, and
the books will be sent! prepaid.
