Tanning of the Shrew.
Boston Herald,

Opposite the Hetald man, at a table
in Cornhill restaurant, at dinner re-
Gently, sat a man from Cambridge,
who was native of New Hampshire.
Meeting an old acquaintance, their
talk soon turned upon family topics,
and the pair began to talk about their
neighbors in a most familiar manner.
Eyes" remarked the Cambridge gen.
tleman, Sam was different from the
rest of the boys. You remember who
he married? Well, when the old man,
his father, found he was shinin' round
her, he called him in the barn one
day and said to him, Sam dye intend
to marry Beckie?, Sam never said
a word, so the old man said: ME
boy, we know all about them; l can t
tell you nothin.' Ye know how the
sisters have turned out and not one
livIn' with their husbands. Sam was
as mum as a pantomime, and just as
soon as he and Beckie were ready,
they got tied.
"They lived son a farm and every
thing went on smooth for about a
year, and it came to hog butchering
time. Sam got all ready to have the
usual party for the occasion, and just
as he was sharpening up the knives,
Beckie came out and said: Sam, I'm
going home. Sam protested in his
quiet way, but it was no use, so he
said he would get man to row her
across the pond. 1t was about a mile
over. She said: No We won't, yell
row me over yerself. Sam told her
he couldn't, and Beckie fired up and
said: Then I'll drown meself,' Sam
said he would go with her if she
wanted to do that; so the boat was
got ready, she got in, and they rowed
out until the water was twenty feet
deep. Then Sam stopped and said:
We'll, Beckie, this is good place to
drown yourself She didn't open her
mouth. He waited while and then
said: Come Beckie, l am in hurry
to git back. She never looked up.
Sam put down the oars, caught hold
of her and pitched her in. She grab
bed for the boat, but he would not
let her get near it. When she was
almost done out, she said: Sam let
in that boat and yell not hear any
thing more from me out of the way"
$50 he pulled her in, and they went
back home. She changed her clothes
and entertained her guests. They are
now nearly so and you never saw a
happier couple-did you? l do not
think they ever spoke of that ducking
since the day she was going to drown
herself..'

More New Uses For Cotton.

It is said it has been demonstrated that
fire and waterproof houses can be made
of cotton and straw. The cotton used
is the refuse of the plantation and fac
tories; and when ground up in about
an equal amount of straw and abestos,
is converted into a paste, and subse-
quently into large slabs or bricks,
which become as hard as stone. The
article thus made is pronounced the
best of architectural material, and will
he much used. A Boston rope-maker
of long experience, like the father be-
fore him. SAYS that the cotton rope can
be made fifty per cent. less than hemp,
and is preferable for all shipping uses,
cables.bolt, rope, halyards, tow, hawser,
tackle and falls, hosting etc. He
saws that often Gotten is superior for
caulking. and believes that it can be
used for roofing and as a substitute for
leather and rubber in hose and betting,
and for tubing to inclose telegraph and
telephone wires, both overhead and
underground. He states that one Kun
dred and fifty tons of hemp rope are
made in the United States daily, the
material of which is mostly imported
Congress has authorized the Secretary
of the Navy to introduce cotton cordagt
into the navy service of the United
States. to such an extent as will full!
test its value and efficiency as compared
with the kinds not in use.
