OX THE BLUE PETER.
The good ship Blue Peter lay at bar
offing at the wharf in Detroit. Davy
Jones, the mate, sat on his locker and
was evidently in very bad humor. Ever
and anon he rose and paced the deck im
patiently. The ship was ready to sail,
but one of the crew who had been hired
for the long voyage to Chicago had not
yet presented himself. The tide was
ready for business and the mate was anx
ious to get off so as to catch the trade
winds that blew across Lake St. Clair.
Mr. Davy Jones used language with ref
erence to this delay that would not look
well in print, and anyhow it has nothing
to do with the plot of this Clark Bussell
ian story.
Just as the patience and the vocabulary
of Mr. Jones were both exhausted a dap
per stranger came down First street and
approached the Blue Peter. Behind him
came a colored lad, who carried a very
handsome valise. The stranger was tall
and extremely well dressed. He wore
gloves, and his cufis and collar were spot
lessly white. A pair of gold rimmed eye
glasses were astride his nose, and con
nected with them was a thin gold chain
that was fastened to his vest. As he saw
the fuming mate he said:
"Ah! how do dor
"Look here," cried the mate, as the
dapper young man stepped aboard, "this
is not a passenger vessel."
"It is the Blue Peter, is it not?" an
swered the young man, as he tossed the
boy a quarter. "You are the mate, I
presume?"
"Well, what of it!" answered that offi
cial. "What if I am the mate?"
"I merely wanted to know, you know.
I have shipped on this boat as an able
sfTPftp, and I would be much obliged to
you if you would ring for the bell boy to
how me to my room."
"The deuce you haver cried the mate,
who had nearly fainted with astonish
ment. "You have kept us waiting,
then, and we will very likely miss the
tide."
"I am sorry for that," said the sailor.
"But you see I had to havo a shave and
so was kept waiting for my turn. I
couldn't begin a voyage to Chicago with
out a shave, vou know."
The mate in a surly manner had to
admit that such a proceeding would have
been quite unprecedented, and at this
aaomentthe cabin boy approached and
took the sailor's valise, intimating that
bis room was all ready for him.
The mate muttered to himself as he
saw the sailor disappear. It was evident
that he did not like the cut of his jib, as
landsmen say.
T11 take the starch out of that fellow
before we get to Chicago; see if 1 don't,"
aid Sir. Jones, addressing his locker.
Thus you will notice that trouble looms
right up at the end of the very first
chapter, but you may bet largely that the
dapper young man is going to come out
all right. They always do.
The good ship Blue Peter stood out for
Lake St. Clair. She passed the island in
safety, caught the tide all right and be
layed herself straight into the lake.
Cape Coffer came out of the cabin and
east his weather eye around the horizon.
"Mr. Jonee," he said, "there is a squall
coming. How is the barometer?"
"Down," answered the mate."
"How low?"
"About ten miles. We left it down in
Detroit."
An ominous black cloud was slowly
rising in the west. The ship lay in a
dead calm and was plowing through the
troubled waters with the speed of a race
horse. The mate hoarsely piped all
bands f orred. The last sailor now ap
peared in a nice suit of boating flannels
and came forward adjusting bis eye
glass. "Now, sir," cried the mate, "what
might your name be?"
"J. Marston Ingram," was the reply.
"Well, then, Mr. Ingram, get aloft
' there; lay out on the main brace, stand
by the peak halliards and see to the
clewing away of the spliced binnacle on
the f orred yardarms. Jump lively now."
. "Aye, aye, sirr said Ingram, nothing
daunted by the terrible order, which
made the cheeks of the hardy sailors
blanch as they heard it given. They
knew that the mate was down on the
Ingram ran swiftly up the rope ladders
known on shipboard as the companion
ways and walked out on the yard arms.
He speedily clewed away the binnacle in
a manner that showed that he was an
expert seaman. This ought to have satis
fied the most fiendish mate afloat, but it
did not satisfy the mate of the Blue
Peter.
"Come down," he yelled through his
tptfH"g trumpet. "Climb up the aft
aoast and clew the binnacle there."
There were ominous murmurs among
the crew at this brutal command, for in
all their experience they had never
known the same man to be asked to clew
more than one binnacle at a time. The
su&te paid no attention to the growls
"otner tnan mg a nwifisHPg look at
the men.
The storm was now at Its height. The
skip rolled so that the tips of the yard
arms touched the seething waters on
either side. It was such a storm as is
quite common on the lakes, but is never
sen in the tropics or on the ocean any
where. "Aye, aye, sirr shouted back Ingram,
aad watching his chance he slipped off
the cod of the yard arm into the smother
hag surf. A cry of horror rose from the
"He prefers death to staying on board
this ship," said one of the men.

showed thai the ship was sixty-fire nsiisa
from East Main street, Port Huron; the
saate approached the captain and said,
after the usual salute of "Aye, aye, sir:"
"I fear we are going to have) trouble
with the men."
"What makes you think so!" asked
the captain.
"That fellow Ingram seems to have a
baneful influence on them. They have
just made a complaint about the food."
"What was wrong with that?"
"Well, you see, sir, on the menu today
there was raw oysters to begin with, as
we always have before the consomme.
They growled because the oysters were
common raw ojstets on toe and not on
the half shell."
The captain frowned.
"I thought you ordered oysters on the
bell." he said.
"We generally da But this time we
neglected to have them that way, al
though they are perfectly good."
"Still a sailor is accustomed to having
them on the half shell, and, of course,
we must expect some growling wheti
they are not. Order the men aft"
The men came sullenly aft. and any
one at all practiced in their ways could
see in a moment that there was going to
be trouble.
"Now, then," cried the captain, "swab
off the decks, will you!"
Not a man moved.
"What's thisT cried the captain
angrily. "This is rank mutiny."
"Not so," said J. Marston Ingram,
stepping airily forward and making a
low bow. "Not so, captain. We are
merely on strike."
"On strike!" shouted the captain, "on
strike! Why, what's a strike at sea but
a mutiny?'
"Perhaps they ore somewhat similar,"
said Ingram, speaking with great defer
ence. "It is a legal point that we, as
members of the Seaman's union, desire
to have settled. We call it a strike.
You can call it a mutiny if you wish.
We simply assert our rights as working
men not to work. You can hire others
if you choose. We respect the law too
much to interfere."
"How in thunder can I hire anybody
out here in the middle of the lake?"
"Ah! that is your affair, not ours."
The captain and the mate retired to
the cabin to consult on the novel situa
tion. If tho trouble was simply a strike
they would have to succumb. If it was
a mutiny, then it would be their duty to
string up tho half dozen men at the yard
arms. Tho mate was certain that this
was the thing to do in all respectable
mutinies, although he believed that in
some such cases it was fashionable to
make the men walk the plank". The cap
tain said "pshaw," and held that that
was only done by pirates. After discuss
ing the matter for some time they
agreed that the fuss was really a full
grown mutiny, and they proceeded on
deck to do their duty in hanging the
men.
As the two officers appeared on deck
Mr. Ingram moved respectfully forward
to meet them, the rest of the crew stay
ing in the background.
"Mr. Ingram," began the captain, "I
presume that you are aware of the fact
that on shipboard the captain's word is
law?"
"I will admit that for the sake of ar
gument, but without prejudice."
"Very well, then, the captain says, or,
in other words, the law is, that this is a
mutiny. It will, therefore, be my pain
ful duty to hang you and the other five
gentlemen who compose the crew unless
you at once cease your mutinous con
duct." J. Marston Ingram bowed low and
answered:
"I will present your decision to my
comrades and inform you of their reply."
After a short conference Mr. Ingram
turned to the captain and said:
"I beg to state respectfully that the
men refuse to accept your decision, and
also refuse to be hanged."
"Refuse!" cried the captain. "Oh, this
is mutiny. I thought so before, but now
I am Bure of it. However, I am willing
to make any reasonable concession. If
they prefer to walk the plank to being
hanged I will accommodate them."
"The impression I gathered from their
conversation was that it was not so much
the method they objected to as to the re
sult. However, I shall be pleased to sub
mit your alternative to them."
He again turned to the men, and the
discussion this time was a longer one.
Finally he camo back and addressed the
captain:
"As I thought, the men refuse also the
alternative. They are, however, willing
to admit that this is a mutiny on one
condition."
"What is thatT asked the captain.
"That is that they carry it out as a mu
tiny. They leave it for you to decide
whether it is a mutiny or a simple strike.
If you decide that it is a strike, tilings
will go on as they are until one side or
the other comes to terms. If you decido
that it is a mutiny, then ther will act as
if it were a mutiny. They will proceed
at once to tie both yourself and the mate
up in a hard knot, and they will then
drop you overboard. We will withdraw
for a few moments to await your decis
ion." They did not have long to wait The
captain came forward and said:
"I have carefully considered the ques
tion in all its bearings and taken note of
several points that before escaped my at
tention. I now decide that this is a
strike."
A rousing, hearty, honest, nautical
cheer went up as this judgment was ren
dered. "I am glad," said Mr. Ingram, "that
so wise and just a decision was made.
It will relieve you of the disagreeable
duty of banging us, and you will also
escape the trouble of arranging any
technical difficulties that are almost-sure
to arise when two men attempt to exe
cute six. Now, I suppose, as this is a
simple strike, and I believe it is the first
that has ever arisen on board a ship, you
will have no objection to submit the mat
ter to arbitration."
"NcP3 in the least," replied the cap
tain. "As you are so good as to agree to this
it becomes us to make like concessions.
We will give you every advantage. I
will act for the crew and the mate will
act for you. I presume that is satisfac
tory to you?"
"Perfectly. But who is to be the third
manF
"That we concede entirely to you.
You shall choose him. That, you see,
throws the majority of the arbitration
committee on your aide. Choose any
body but yourself, captain."
Mr. Ingram said this with a frank air
that was very charming. The captain
frowned andacratched his head. The
proposition certainly looked magnani
mous, but as there was no one for him
to choose but one of the crew he looked
dubiously at the mate, who was so be
wildered that beseemed able to
no suggestion.
"Look here," said the captain. "
mto the cabin for a few moments. Par
haps we can adjust this difficulty with
out appointing a third man."
Mr. Ingram bowed gravely and fol
lowed the captain down the companion
way, the mate remaining outside by the
direction of his chief.
"Now," began the captain, "who are
you, anynow? you are not a
sailor."
'No," said Ingram, "I am a lawyer.

merely here on a vacatjon.-
I see. The craw, have retained
you."
"Exactly."
"Then you are quite wflUng to chock
up their case and taken retainer from
me providing it is n bigger one than the
one you ire receiving?'
"That is what we are here for, cap."
"Then consider it settled. Now, what
can yon do for me?"
"I will at once show the men that it is
really a mutiny. Yon see, they signed
articles. A man must keep his contract"
"But if it is a mutiny, the men will
drop me overboard."
"Oh, we won't decide it to ben mu
tiny. You pick out theother arbitrator,
andthematoand I will settle the mat
ter." "All right." aaid the captain. "Here,
your fee."
The men growled n little, but they ac
cepted the ruling of the arbitrators. The
captain said gently to the mate after the
trouble was over:
"Bee here, you lubber. If you aver ship
a lawyer again 111 stave in your bloom
ing thick skull with a marlinspike.
Don't you know that if a lawyer got into
paradise there would be trouble right
away!" Luke Sharp in Detroit Free
Mather.
I suppose if there fa one thing women
may be permitted to be prejudiced about
it is their own babies. The baby before
you is always the handsomest and tho
best and the cutest In the world. Ha is
indeed a man of tact who can hit the
right remark to make about a baby all
the time. You cannot be sure that you
are pleasing the mother by saying it
looks just like her, or the father by point
ing out its extraordinary resemblance to
him. But still the mother desires to find
the beautiful in her features reproduced
in the baby, and she fa willing to concede
that possibly mentally the boy may take
after his father. On the other hand, she
may wish to believe it is like its fattier.
The simplest remark I ever heard of
made by a mother on the subject of her
baby was made by a lady who believed
herself and knew her husband to be very
homely. The child was really a lovely
little girl, so much so that when the
friend, visiting the house, saw her he
involuntarily said:
What a very pretty child!"
The pleased mother looked up and said
quite sincerely:
"Yes. She was such a surprise to us."

A Useful Record.
Those householders who have passed
through tho experience are well aware
that the task of measuring a dwelling
for carpets is a formidable one. It occu
pies a great deal of time, even with ex
perts, in making diagrams, taking fig
ures, etc One of the large retail firms
in this city has adopted a system in this
regard whereby a great deal of time is
saved. Every house that is measured
for carpets is entered on a book indexed
for streets and numbers. Whenever a
new order is handed in this book is
searched to see whether the house has
ever been measured before. As the firm
in question has been in business since
Chicago has been a city, it has upon its
books a record of the floor measurements
of more than half of the houses in town,
and a great deal of time is saved thereby.
If the measurements of a house are in
the book they are taken off, and a man
visits the place to see tliat no changes
have been made. Thus he can accom
plish in ten minutes what would ordi
narily take three or four board. Such
are the benefits ? n thorough system.

HBohra Heart."
Within the past twenty 'years the
medical faculty has come to clearly
comprehend and accurately diagnose a
disease which they now denominate as
"smoker's heart" Excessive smoking,
whether by pipe, cigar or cigarette, af
fect the action of the heart and disturbs
the circulation. The pulse will intermit
not with any regularity sometimes
one beat in four, sometimes one in ten,
sometimes two or three at a time, and
then comes trouble. The brain, missing
its regular pulsations of blood, wavers,
the heart flutters, and then follows a
temporary collapse.
Strong cordials are "indicated." Strong
coffee is good; strong spirits better. But
the remedy, too often relied upon, fa
as bad as the disease, and the subject
grows slowly worse. Angina pectoris fa

One of the leading physicians of this
city relates a case in point A patient
suffering from "smoker's heart" believed
that he had a chronic heart disease, and
came for a careful examination early in
the day before he had eaten any break
fast The stethoscope showed the heart
to be sound as a dot he had not smoked
for twelve hours. Greatly relieved at the
verdict, he lighted a big black cigar and
sat smoking, upon an empty stomach,
while he talked. In a few minutes, as
he rose to go, his feet failed him and he
fell in a momentary faint The heart
was fluttering wildly, but yielded at once
and resumed its normal action after a
strong stimulant
The moral of tho story is that, if you
smoke at all, you should smoke in mod
eration and on a well filled stomach. It
is recklessness that hurts. Cincinnati

Breakfast oa Time.
One of those mysterious amateur
swells, who might properly be called a
"pecuniary dude," has been boarding
the past few months at a fashionable
south ride boarding house. One day last
week he received a shock, which literally
knocked him silly. He labors daily for
a large wholesale house here, and re
ceives a weekly stipend of $10, but as he
dresses according to a $10,000 per annum
income it is but natural that he is many

tardy every day for a week or more,

he breakfasted at 7 o'clock, and this gave
him ample opportunity to reach his office
on time. "Ah," he said to the landlady,
glancing at the clock, "I see I get my
breakfast on time this morning." She
regarded him with a fixed "give-me-that-$12"

THI PIANO WILL STAY.
bat It IS
With the attainment of perfect piano
playing, thinks a contemporary German
writer, musical art will seek a new in
strument from which greater delight
may be evolved. The same writer sug
gests that such new Instrument will com
bine wind power with stringsthe or
chestra reduced to a keyboard. We will
not, at this time, attempt to controvert
the German writer's speculation g to the
instrument of the future. We wtU, how
ever, venture to disagree with his insula
tion that the sun of the piano fa setting.
In its very nature that noble instrument
is enduring.
It is the latest of a series of develop
ments that began many generations ago.
Possibly it is destined to still higher devel
opments. It, however, has a distinctive
power of answering to and illustrating
every emotion of grief, joy, pleasure or
pain that agitates the bosom of the com
poser, and, moreover, of arousing the
same emotions in all sympathetic listen
ers. This alone will cause the piano to
survive, at least until the nature of man
is changed.
This power is the result of the strug
gling efforts of men toward an ideal; ef
forts akin to those that have been put
forth by noble natures in the develop
ment of other arts. Brooklyn bridge fa
a perfect development of the rude tree
trunk whereby primeval man was en
abled to cross a creek. The cornet, the
saxhorn, the trombone, the euphonium,
are but improved vastly improved
forms of the ancient ram's horn by
whose fearful simplicity of sound the
wandering sons of Israel were reminded
that the time to perform certain religious
duties had arrived. The crude, barbaric
Asiatic lute, with body of snakeskin and
a couple of coarse strings, is seen in
more artistic form in the guitar, the vio
lin, the mandolin.
Most musical instruments have arrived
at a satisfaction giving stage, the coming
of which has been more or less uncon
sciously yearned for through hundreds
and perhaps thousands of years. Each
may be susceptible of further develop
ments, but the distinctive, generic idea
attaching to each will, by development,
be still more clearly defined.
It is not in human nature or art to
abolish the piano. Too much brain and
brawn and heart effort have been suc
cessfully spent upon it for us to abandon
it now; and, as we havessid, its abolition
would leave "an achimr void'! in human
life. Even when we fly -acroas spaee in

we shall demand the inspiration, the con
solation and the stimulation of the piano,

pipe." Musical Review.
She Agreed With Btam.
There were three or four unoccupied
6eats in the car, but be stood for a mo
ment grip in hand, near the door, and
then walked to a seat in which a young
lady sat alone and sat down beside her
with an impudence that astounded all
other passengers. The girl looked up at
him and around the car, and evidently
realised the situation, for she took pen
cil and tablet from her reticule and made
ready for him. After about five minutes
the man turned to her and observed:
"Beg pardon if I am mistaken, but
dont you live at UticaT
She looked up in a furtive way, and
then wrote on the tablet andhanded him:
"I am deaf and dumb."
"Ah! By George!" he sighed as he read
it; "that's too, too bad! Deuced pretty
girl to have such a misfortune. Well,
Tm left, after all my smartness. Saw
her at the window before I got on, and

He nodded his head to her to signify
that he understood, and he would have
been glad to change seats if he could
have done so without loss of dignity. As
the train thundered on he perused the
contents of a couple of newspapers,
yawned awhile, and then bought and
finished a novel; and finally, after a ride
of four mortal hours, the whistle blew,
and he reached for his grip with the re
mark: 'Til be hanged if I aint glad this
stupid ride has come to an end at last"
"DittoP quietly replied the girl, as she
turned on him.
"You you" he gasped, as he stood
there looking down upon her with twelve
kinds of emotion galloping over his
countenance.
"Good-by," she said, and he backed
out and dropped to the platform like a

A few years ago a cure for consumption
was thought beyond all possibility. But
now it seems nearer, and there fa good
reason to believe that the time fa not far
off when, instead of that terrible riirmsftt
proving fatal in almost every case, as
was once the rule, in a large proportion
of them recovery will take place. Some
cases have recently been treated by hot
air, and the results, as far as known, ap
pear to have been admirable. The ap
paratus described in The New York Med
ical Journal consists of a stand support
ing a double cylinder, which fa covered
with asbestos. The interior fa heated
by a Bunsen burner, so that pure air
drawn in between the two cylinders be
comes heated and at the same time dis
infected. At the outset of treatment
patients are made to inhale the air at a
temperature of 212 dags. Fahr. for thirty
minutes.
Gradually the sitting fa prolonged to
two hours, both morning and evening,
and the temperature of the air fa slowly
increased to the highest point each pa

Fall Asleep.
It seems to sue that there fa a
ity in some natures that needs a
tive as much aa its opposite, that fa the
habit of falling aaSeep at odd places and
at odd times by people, and against their
will or desire. One physician of this
city had a strung tendency to this un
pleasant state of faculties, and would of
ten cause, much to his chagrin, great
amusement but oftener great annoyance
at this habit Calling one evening at the
bouse of a young lady of whom he was
a great admirer, this sleepy spell over
came him. and whilst she was talking to
him in softly modulated tones, he, be
fore he was aware, was aitting bolt up
rightasleep. The young lady waa so
angry aba left the parlor withootaroua
ing him, and would nir htm gi,
to the poor f ellow'e deep mortification.
Another time a patient called to
his heart examined. The doctor pro
ceaded to place his ear against the tiaart,
and whilst thus occupied lost wakeful
ness, nasi k was a quarter- of an hour
before the indignant patient discovered
the state of affairs. Of course no ex
planation served to atone to theappli
cant for relief, and the doctor lost that
case rapidly. A wall known clergyman
of this city, now a bishop, was also af
flicted this way, even on the altar.

There are many amusing stories told of
him In this regard. A very pretty girl
In the West End fa another subject of
of this strange slumbering. In the par
lor or drawing room, white entertaining
guests, particularly if aha fa assists d by
her family, and knows the entire enter
tainment does not rest upon her, she
will, against her will, drop softly into a
quiet slumber. She rouses at the least
cessation of conversation, but the drowsi
ness at such times is a source of great
embarrassment to her. St Louis Globe
Democrat The FwJaft ef View.
"It all depends upon the point of
view," fa a phrase that has passed into a
proverb. Its truth fa illustrated anew
every day, but perhaps not often more
strikingly than it was in the case of a
wealthy railroad man, who, infjompany
with a journalist, not long ago visited
Pike's Peak, in Colorado, and was shown
a magnificent prospect of the mountain
across a rocky gorge.
"Fine, fine, isn't it?" exclaimed the
journalist
"Fine? I don't think so," said the
railroad man. "How are you going to
run a railroad here?"
Here is another illustration of the
"point of view:"
"We call the tiger," said a vegetarian
philosopher, "a ferocious beast; but
what would we men be called if, for in
stance, mutton chops could speak?"

Tommy was taken the other evening
by bis father, an ardent Wagnerite, to
tee "Siegfried." All went well till the
appearance of the dragon, which, as it
grotesquely balanced from side to side on
his squatty forelegs, appealed strongly to
Tommy's powerful sense of humor. He
was finally calmed down by bis Indig
nant father without creating a public
scene, and It was then that Tommy was
struck with his usual great idea.
"Papa," he whispered, "why didnt

"Why didnt they what?"
"Why didn't they have it n hydra, and
then they could have had it sing a
