which sustained his weight, might break.
If such an event is to take place many
people have the feeling or desire express
ed by the poet in case Gllpin should ride
again: MAY be there TO see" Perhaps
those of the crowd who were Of this
mind would have scattered had they
known that the staff is a mas eightinches
in diameter at the top, gradually increas-
ing in diameter to nearly 20 inches at the
bottom, and that the rope was new piece
ofcOrdage as biground as a mans thumb,
and a gOod-sized thumb at that. But from
the street the cord looked to be no more
than clOthesline and the stick about the
size of barber's pole.
The explanation OF the event is that the
recent gale of 81 miles per hour had disOr-
ganized and dishabilitated the signal hal
yards and they needed to he rove anew.
Tue man who assembled the staff was Mr.
Joseph La Motto, the same who performed
a like service in reeving halyards at the
top of Bunker Hill monument seven or
eight years ago. His assistant who stood at
the loot of the staff was Mr.. Andrew An
dersOn. Both are ringers by occupation.
To ascend the stall is easy when one
once knows how. 70 begin with, the
climber has what. in sailors phrase, be
calls ''strap." A strap when OutOf use
may, if carefully laid upon the ground or
any fat surface, be made to take shape as
circle, the circumference being stout
rope; in other words, it is rope few feet
In length, with the TWO ends spliced with
each other. In use, after being passed
once round the staff, ittakes shape as two
loops, one loop being passed through the
other like slip moose. To the disengaged
loop block aud tackle is attached, and
to that again "bOatswain's chair" 1t
is obvious that when the boatswain is
thus seated in his chair the heavier the
man the tighter will the slip moose grip
the mast. One strap being duly adjusted
around the mast SIX or eight feet above
the root, another is loosely carried around
the mast, and the Doatswain's mate then,
by means Of the tackle, gently hoists the
boats swain in his chair to the height of the
tight-gripping strap. Thereupon the
bOatswaln draws tight the loose strap,
which has assembled the mast with him,
changes his perch from the one piece OF
rigging to the other, and, lOosening the
hitherto tight strap, pushes it up the
mast, 6y means of stick about the size
of bean pole, to point six feet higher.
Here II is gripped by the man below and
the boatswain Is ready for another six foot
hoist; and so on, six feet at a time, till
the top is gained. Mr.. La Motto found
that what he calls the "truck," that is a
projecting block of wood at the top of the
mast which holds the halyard pulleys,
must be taken down for repairs. To-day
he will make another ascent, saw off the
top of the staff just below the block, and,
later, will again go up and fix that or a
new block to the masthead and reeve the
halYards.

SOMETHING ABOUTMCUBAToRs
Why 1t is Improbable that They will be
Much Used in America.

Fran the Nc1O York Star.
At the recent poultry exhibition in New
York any number of enthusiastic incu-
bator patentees or owners competed for
the prize offered to the artificial hen that
Matched the greatest number of chickens
in given time, and rich city farmers and
young men with fortunes to invest were
invited to become rich suddenly by pur-
chasing an incubator, Matching spring
chickens, and selling them at the market
price of 81 per pound. The bait was a
tempting one.
1t is said that Notwithstanding repeat
ed failures in every direction to realize
the gold mine promised, $1,000, 600 each
year is invested in incubatOrs. A WELL
known type-caster, of New York, after
attending the first poultry show held in
this city, two years ago, sold out a COM
Portable living, removed to a farm within
a few miles of Paterson, n. u, purchased
an incubator, two barrels OF kerosene oil
and fifty dozen of fresh eggs at fifty cents
per dozen, and hoped to get rich. He was
soon bankrupt. His family lett him in
disgust. To add to his misery, the per-
son from whom he bought the patent hen
would only offer him So for what he paid
$3.50.
Not twenty miles from Albany lives a
man who sank two fortunes in attempt
ing to raise chickens artIfcially. Mr..
Halsey Knapp, poultry dealer at No. ZIG
Washington street, says that chickens
can be Matched by an Incubator, but the
trouble is to get them to live, and If they
do live and are brought TO market the
flesh is so insipid that it is very poor
eating. His testimony is-and he IS an
authOrity-that one old hen, setting on
two dozen eggs, will beat the best-planned
incubator ever invented. In fact, the in
cubat0r is not wanted IN this country /;
chickens are as plentiful at all times as
the measles in a country school. In Paris,
where fowl do not appear upon the bill of
fare in the hotels, and where a single
chicken is cut up in parts in the market
and sold by the hind and fore quarters,
the incubators may be of use and make
money for their owners, but in America,
says Mr.. Knapp, they are delusion and
q snare,

WOMEN WHO LIKE PoLITIos.

The Political Ability OF Mrs. Morrison,
Mrs. Logan and the Late MRS. Haw-
ley.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The death of
Mrs. Senator Hawley removes from Wash
ingtOn society one of the few women who
pay close personal attention to politics.
Only few wives of statesmen care for the
political complications and machinery
which occupy most Of the time of their
husbands. Whether it is because women
have no part in politics by vote or other
wise, or because their minds arc
not moulded in the political cast,
is uncertain. Anyhow, 1t is a fact
that very few Of them follow the proceed
ings of Congress or the varying aspects
of national affairs. Mrs. Hawley was
noticeable exception. She was as we'll
posted on political matters as the average
Congressman, and was as familiar with
the details of her husbands work, in aud
out of Congress, as the General himself.
She attended personally to the reading
and arrangement of his correspondence,
making up the pension cases which came
to him, following the political debates in
Congress, and showing a keen personal
interest even in State elections which did
not concern her husband. There are few
others like her.
Mrs. Morrison watches the course of
public affairs day by day, studies the
tariff and silver questions and is as fully
posted as her husband on revenue matters.
A year or two ago she asked a friend to
lend her a certain work, in two volumes,
on the tariff. He complied with her re-
quest, thinking it had its source in femi-
nine caprice and that she would never
read one-half Of the volumes. To his
surprise he found traces OF the work all
through the very next tariff speech OF
Mr.. Morrison. Mrs. Logan is also a
close student OF politics. She can dis
cuss public men and measures with as
much judgment as she can entertain a
house full OF callers, and that is saying a
. good deal, for there is no woman in Wash
lngton who is quite equal to her in the
latter capacity. Mrs. Vance, wife of the
Senator from North Carolina, is also we'll
posted on public matters.

AN INDIAN PRINCESS.
How She Figures in ''Sassiety" at the
National Capital.
From The Nea0 YORK. World.

From the NelD YORK KOftd.
WASHINGTON, March, 6.-SOciety has
had recently a notable addition in the
shape of an Indian Princess of the Zuni
tribe. This is Princess WRwa. She is
the guest of the wife Of Col. Stevenson, of
the Geological Survey Princess Wawa
goes about everywhere at all of the recep-
lions and teas of Washington wearing her
native dress. The Princess has very
large, round, heavy face. Her black,
thick, long hair is parted upon the side
and cOmbed with a-statesman-like care
lessness across her broad, brown brow.
The Princess dress is made OF gay red
blanket stuff trimmed with beads. From
underneath her short skirts are seen stout
ankles and small feet, covered with buck
skin leggings and mOccasinS. The gem
eral style of the Princess is massive. Her
broad face, her stern features and the
peculiar parting of her hair give her a
masculine look among the pale-faced
society ladies. One prominent society
lady the other day who saw the Princess
Tor the first time was charmed because
tue Princess gave her a sweet smile and q
low bow without the formality of an in
PRODUCTION. She said to friend 81 al
ways knew that these Indian chieftains
were remarkable for their TASTE" She
was quite disguised when she found that
the "chieftain" was a member of the
other sex. The Princess held regular
leVee az the house OF the handsome Mrs.
David Porter Heap the other day. Mrs.
Heap, who is one of the most attractive
ladies in Washington, suddenly found
herself deserted on account OF the rival
charms OF the Indian Princess. The
ladies crowded about the Princess Wawa
and amused themselves endlessly in at
tempting to converse with her by signs
and broken English. The Princess can
speak but very little English.
The princess is an eccentric child OF
nature. Although she is moving at pre-
sent in the highest circles of Washington
and is the pet guest Of Mrs. Stevenson,
she yet has lapses from the convention
alities of life and goes back to the freer
action of life on the plains. During the late
heavy snow fall the Princess heard the
Stevensons talking about the heavy load
of snow on the roof OF their house. 1t was
Just beginning to thaw and they were
fearful that the water would get through
the roof. Some way or other through
their signs she seemed to understand. A
few moments afterwards she disappeared
and could not be found. A little later a
heavy rush on the roof and then fall OF
snow In front Of the house indicated
where the Princess was. She was found
up on the ridge pole hard at work clear
ing off the roof. The work was full OF
peril, but the Princess would not come
down until she had com pleted 1t.
