While the longest ropes are med for hauling purposes, some of the most in- teresting data in connection with wire rapes are obtained with their use for hoisting purposes. Hundreds of thou- sands of lives are literally each day hung by a small wire thread as the men are lowered into and hoisted from the bowels of the earth, and in many cases the only means of communication between the surface and the under- ??7'mnd workings. which are from a !'0\’.' foot to a mile in depth, is by a .- .:;'.paratively small hoisting rope.

To the honor of the wire rope manufactur- t'i'n‘ it must be said that very few shaft accidents are due to the breaking of the rope, excepting where the cage is overwound and unwarranted demands are made upon the rope or which are traceable to false economy on the part of the users of wire rope. No part of a mining plant is more carefully in- spected and watched than the hoisting rope, and very few mine managers will take any unnecessary risks in the hoisting of men. The skill of the wire rope maker is taxed to the utmost to provide ropes for hoisting from great depths. To make a rope of practicable size that will be sufficiently flexible and that will bear even its own weight is no mean problem, for in such cases the weight of the rope is often much more than the material lifted; hence we have taper rope intended to give a varying section dependent on the amount of rope off the drum or reel.â€" Mines and Minerals.

A Plea-ant Sort of Deception Com- mon to Many People. It is a common thing to find the clocks in nine out of ten households either fifteen minutes or half an hour fast, and should you happen to be in a hurry or mention the fact that you have to be going you are at once reas- sured by the fact that you have no cause to hurry. as the clock is so muvh ahead of the time.

An English lady reformer of unec- tain age who visited India to deliver I lecture told the audience thnt she would be happy to answer any quel- tion. upon which a fat baboo came to the front with “How old are you?” “Oh. n0," she replied; “I don't mean questions of that sort; only ones con- nected with the subject of the lecture.” “Are you forty '2” continued the baboo, nowise abashed. “No, I won’t answer such a question,” was the reply. “Are you titty?" continued her tormentor. “Oh. no; I told you I won’t answer such questions." “Are you sixty?" “Oh, no, no, no; I’m not sixty,” the lady responded precipitately.

I have a sweetheart, for whose sake I have been faithless not only to my wife, but to my muse alsoâ€"a sweetheart who has appropriated my best ideas and whose slave I was and still am. Often have I wasted half my fortune upon her and rushed blindly into misfortune to please‘her. For her sake I have pa- tiently endured insult, ridicule and rep- robation; for her sake I have staked life and liberty. Now, if she had been a pretty young damsel there might have been some excuse for me, but she was a nasty, old, painted flgurehead of a beldame, a flirting, faithlesl, flc- kle, foul mouthed, scandalmongering old liar, whom the whole world courts, who makes tools of all her wooers and changes her lovers as often as she changes her dress. Her name is Poll- tics, and may the plague take her!” Customs 01 the Kalli-s. The author of a book on the Kafilrs of South Africa says: “The women are, on the whole, in favor of polygamy. Sometimes a woman who has a dozen other ‘sisters,’ as they call fellow wives, will go to a woman who is the solitary wife of a man and ask her it she does not feel lonely. No one can visit a large kraal-such, for example, as the king’s kraal in Swazilandâ€"where there are hundreds of huts, and not feel that there is a certain charm in the social life of the place. It is a sort of college life, and frequently my thoughts have reverted to my old varsity days, and it has struck me that if one could im- agine a set of men living in the old court of Trinity surrounded by wives and children, with a social circle in which every one was related to every one else, one might get some idea of the sheer joy of life amid 1,000 rela- tions.” Explained.

The hare easily caught up with the tortoise. “Well, old man, you’re not much of a runner," he sneered. A Useless Verdict. “Yes,” said the old traveler, “I was on a jury in California once. It was a murder trial. I didn’t want the fellow hanged and so stuck out against the other eleven for nine days, locked up in the jury room, when they gave in, and we brought in a verdict of ‘Not guilty,’ and then I was ready to stab myself with spite.” “What about?" “ ’Cause the mob had hanged the pris- oner on the very first day we were locked up.” Enjoy What You Can. To be soured by poverty or to be hardened by it is a mistake~an error of thought. Instead of enjoying our life we are cramping ourselves. It is as it we were set at a feast and sulkily re- fused to enjoy a few dishes because we could not reach everything on the table and make ourselves sick, like foolish children that We are. “No,” admitted the tortoise, “I’m not. I think I’ll try for the crew. You see, I‘m quite at home in the shell.” Swallows and Mica-ob“. Swallows and other migratory birds invariably shun those places which are in the slightest degree infected by noxious microbes. Thus they are never to be found in districts where cholera, yellow fever, the plague and other epi- demic diseases prevail. The districts which they select as their temporary homes are in all respects the most healthy that can be found. It is evi- dent from this that persons who are afraid of catching cholera or other in- fectious diseases ought not to live in places which are shunned by these birds. ' ~ I W K?» ‘ , I DEATH OF ‘38.
