IN THE BRITISH NAVY.
How It's Rulers Administer Justice
In Their Floating Realms.

In Their FlOattnG healmSs
The captain of British man-of-war is
something of czar aboard his own ship.
He does not possess power Of life and
death over his subordinates, but he can
make or mar any man just as he pleases.
Warrant officers and nll ranks above can
be punished only by court martial. but
in all the ranks below warrant officer the
captain can promote or degrade men as
he thinks fit.
Two tribunals are held daily in a bat
tleship. At noon the commander deals
with the lighter offenses, while the more
serious ones are judged by the captain at
evening.
At the dreaded evening function the
captain presides sternly, sitting at ta-
BILE on the quarter deck, with officers
! around him. The prisoners stand in
row facing their judge
"What Is this man charged with!
asks the captain as culprt No. steps
forward.
The master-at-arms states the charge,
which is that Ordinary Seaman Jones
walked when he should have run and
would not mend his pace when ordered
to.
"Call the witnesses" commands the
skipper" and the witnesses step for
ward and give their evidence.
"Well, you have heard what the wit
nesses said. What have you to say!"
asks the captain.
Jones explains that he didn't hear" or
twas going to double or something Of
the kind.
The captain considers a moment while
he sizes up appearances as we'll as testi-
mony. "Well," is his conclusion, Il have
to double so does everybody else in the
ship, and you'll have to do the same.
I'm determined (this with very significant
emphasis) to have everybody In my crew
thoroughly smart at his work. Seven
days 10 A."
There are number Of what are term
ed "scale punishments" laid down by the
admiralty. or this 10 A is the most ir-
ritating. The man undergoing it has to
take his meals under a sentry's super
vision, work while the other men are
resting, do all the dirty work of the ship
and stand for a couple of hours at
stretch on the quarter deck with his face
to the bulwarks. Keeping the flies off
the paint" Jack calls it.
The captain may sentence man to ii
days of this punishment or to 80 days
Imprisonment in cells. Beyond that term
he cannot go. But there are an infinite
number of smaller pumishments which
he may inflict for a variety Of offenses
that to n landsman might seem mere
trihes. Such are being late in turning
out Of morning, wearing socks not Of
the regulation pattern and so on.-Pear-

"He was, sir. He reared up and then
went running off as hard as he could go,
and he's a mile away, and the wagon is
all kicked to pieces by this time"
"And like truthful, honest lad you
came in to tell me OF it and get your re-
ward?" queried the grocer.
"That's it, sir. You've got some big
apples there, and IL you think"-
"There, there, bub; run along. The
horse and wagon belong to the hardware
man next door, and If you go In and show
your integrity he'll probably reward you

Inning myth of Baldur, the.
young god of oratory and of poetry.
BaIdur the Good was the favorite son
Of Odin, and beloved Of all the gods es-
pecially for his marvellous beauty and
courage From a succession of terrible
dreams he believed himself doomed to
death, and related the hideous vision to
the assembled gods, who with cne ac-
cord determined to avert from him all
danger, and to this end conjured all
things. Frigga; his mother, exacted
from the elements and from all things
in nature, animate and inanimate, a VOW
under no circumstances to do him harm
Thus protected, Baldur; as of yore,
led the chase and courted danger in
protean form, giving himself as tar
get for the other gods arrows, battle
axes and other weapons, who, believing
that do what they would they could do
him no hurt, thus sported with his vslor,
deeming it an honor paid to Baldur.
Loki, the detractor Of the gods and
the author of all their misfortunes, an
gered that 10 harm could befall Baldur,
and filled with envy and jealousy at
the tribute thus paid to him by the
other gods, resorted to strategy to find
some way to work him evil. Assuming
the disguise of woman, be sought the
abode of Frigga. who questioned her if
she knew how the gods were employed.
She replied to the question and to the
passionate love and pride Of the mother
for her darling, gifted son, that they
were testing their skill and the merits
of their weapons upon Baldur, who wss
snscathed by them.
Ay, ay,' 'Frigga made answer, >nought
can hurt Baldur. I have exacted an
oath from all things, to do him no harm
WHAT exclaimed the deceiver, have
all things really sworn to spare BaldurT
>All things returned Frigga, except
an insignificant plant that grows near
Walhalla, called mistletoe;' anything
so weak could do no harm
Hastily Loki left the presence of
Frigga, and, resuming his owe shape.
searched for and found the frail plant.
Appearing amidst the gods with a
branch of mlstletoe, he directed it with
aim so sure that Baldur was pierced
through the heart and expired instantly
A legend Of the crucifixion, full Of
pathos and beauty, tells the origin Of
the mistletoe in its concluding words as
follows:
Ever since that day, the tree from
which the cross was hewn has never
been suffered to grow as a tree. but only
exists as parasite on other trees.
1T is neither fruit nor flower, but
bears clusters Of waxy white berries,
and saps the life of any tree TO which
it attaches itself, 1t is called the
mistletoe.'
