How the Star-Fish Takes HIS Oysters.

II is curious TO read the silly STORIES
that are told in the name of natural his
tory. There is one that says that the
starfsh puts its fingers or rays into the
oysters she'll, and helps itself From
every point of consideration the thing is
ridiCulOusly impossible. 4 more sober
Judgment is that given by some natural
lists, namely, that the scastar protrudcs
its great saC-likc stomach and envelopes
to q great extent the oyster therein, and
SO leisurely digcsts the mollusk out of
It's unopened shell, much as a Goldfish
does the shells it swallows After hav-
ing seen young star.fshcs cat small spec

lops, which ] have fed to them in an
aquarium, / give the following ms based
on q number of observations: Having
brought the oval, or stomach oriiCc, cN-
aCtly opposite the nib of the oyster, the
star embraces the bivalve with its five
flexible rays, aided by the hundreds of
sucking disks on the tiny feet Thus
pusitiOncd, the starfish Cliugs firmly, but
keeps itself quite still, and waits very
patiently After Il while the instinct of
the oyster will be at fault, and il will

Instantly q singular variation OF the per

drawn and set back to back--the stom-
ach is protruded. and the doubled-up
star inlrudes itself into the oyster, the
cyictcd stomach leading the way in tie
movement, and absorbing its victim. If
the famous india-rubbcr man could
throw backward his arms, legs and head,
and in this position could then infusc

4 Sharp Trick by an Insane Woman

A PRETTY sharp trick was played on
Wednesday by an insane woman who
was being conveyed from Austin, Tex,
TO this city. The woman in question is
widow, and has been an inmate of an
asylum in Texas for year and half.
Her family desired to remove her to the
Missouri State Insane Asylum, and, after
making arrangements for the transfer.
placed her under the charge of an officer
and her brother, who induced her to be-
lievc that they were taking her home;
but it seems that when the train arrived
al Hampstead and stopped to permit the
passengers to change cars the widow
recognized the place and at once began
an open war against them She was as
sured then that they were only going 10
st. Louis on a visit, and finally became
reconcied. A sleeping-car was secured,
and both officer and brother, feeling per
fecty sure that she would not renew her
trouble, INDUCED in soothing nap. On
awakening they found her safe and
sound in her berth, and everything went
on smoothly until the train arrived at
the Pacific depot, in this city When
the train had stopped the officer and the
brother of the woman alighted and
Louis detective force, one of whom
asked the woman: AYE these the mem"
She replied: YES, they are the ruff
fans and the whole party was at once
marched to the -Four Courts and into the
august presence of Chief Harrigan The
Texas officer here produced his papers,
and soon satisfied the Chief that the
woman was insane, but was in mystery
rs to the reason for his arrest until the
circumstances were related by the Chief.
1t seems that while the officer and the
woman's brother were enjoying their
nap the woman, with the quick wit of
the insane, told the conductor privately
that she had been kidnapped by them,
and requested him TO telegraph TO the
Chief of Police here to have them ar
rested on their arrival. That official com
piled with her request as soon as the
nearest telegraph station was reached,
and, Of course, it was in obedience to
this demand that the detectives were de
tailed in the case.
The woman is now in the custody of
the managers of the State Asylum for the
Insane. 1t is said she was at one time
reignng belle in Austin, and when in
sound mind possessed brilliant intellect
ual gilts.-St Louis Globe.

1t has been well remarked by distin-

A case in which one of this class figured
occurred in the municipal Criminal
Court last week Mr. Blank, "A young
attorney of the aforementioned class, APP
pcared as counsel for n yillainOus-look-
ing Chinaman, who was called to receive
sentence on his third conviction on one
charge Of grand larceny. Al Shook was
told to stand up, and the Judge gazed
upon him with an eye in which there
was a varied assortment of stern Justice
and commiscration. Mr. Blank slowly
rose from his chair, ran his bony fingers
through his raven locks, and, extending
his right arm in dignifcd and authori
tatiye manner, signiticd his intention of
making little speech.

his hand at the assembled spectators

4 New Years story.

LITTLE BESSIE ATWOOD had neither
father, mother, sister nor brother. She
was all alone in the world and was about
as miserable as any little girl could be.
To be sure, she was well and strong and
in full possession of her five senses; but
Bessie was twelve years old and realized
fully the unpleasantness of her position.
Mrs DlurdoCk had offered her home for
the chores she could do, and Bessie soon
found that she was expected to work
hard from early in the morning until the
children were all snug in bed at night
The chief cause of Bcssie's trouble was
not so much the work, for Bessie was an
Industrious child; but that she was not
allowed to 90 to school Mrs Atwood
had taught her daughter to read and
write little. and Bessie could do sums
