Builders may be interested in a process
suggested by a French authority for i'm
proving the strength of scaffold ropes,
especially in localities where the atmos-
phere is destructive TO hemp fiber.
The ropes, when dry. are dipped into
a solution made with twenty grains of
sulphate Of copper in about a quart Of
water. where they remain soaking for
four days and are afterward dried.
By absorbing sulphate OF copper the
ropes are preserved from rot and from
animal parasites. and the sulphate Of
copper may. it 10 said, be fixed in the
fibers by coating Of tar. or by soapy
water, the latter being even preferable.

The Pleasure of Gardening is Enhanced If
There is Profit Also.
Altogether there is a great deal of
gardening carried on every year simply
for the pleasure it affords, without any
regard to pecuniary profit. There are
many men and women of ample means,
who are abundantly able to CRAFTY
every desire without care or labor, who
anticipate the gardening season with as
much eagerness as they do the occur
renee of any other event that promises
pleasure. Amongst the ladies there
are many that await the advent Of
spring, on account of its relations
to gardening, with more pleasurable
anticipation than would be involved in
the expectancy of new set of pearls
or diamonds. And on the part of men
there are those who find more pleas
ure in the operation of garden work
than others who seek il in billiards
or driving, or hunting, or other sports
that are resorted to for the purpose
OF resting and reeuperating mind and
body. There is as much physical effort
involved in billiards or ten-pins, or
hunting or driving, as there is in ma
nipulating hoe or trowel, or other i'm
plements amid the plots of the garden.
The ordinary loafer or dude may regard
with contempt the latter instruments
as means of pleasant and helpful ex-
ercise, and persist in regarding the cue

AN ANCIENT CRAFT.
Weird Yarns Told of oentury-OId Ship
Near Tiburon.


Weird Yarns Told of oentury-OId Ship
Near Tiburon.
Lying at Belvidere, near Tiburon. is
an ancient hull, Scared and scathed by
the ravages of time and the elements.
1t is neither large, formidable nor
ghostly looking, yet tales have been
told of it in Tiburon which give it an
unenviable notoriety.
It has been said that on;storny lights,
when the treacherous currents in Rae
coon straits run swiftly and great bill
lows come surging in from the Pacific,
that scenes in consonance with the
wildness of the elements are acted out
on the strange, black hulk. Ghostlv
sailors in strange costumes run up the
skeleton masts and behave in all ways
as if the craft were battling with the
gale. Tiburon Munchausens say that
husky, hollow noises mingle with the
winds that form whirlpool about the
blunt bow, commands are given in a
Latin tongue and unsubstantial forms
jump hither and thither among the rig
ging to obey like active monkeys.
However doubtful may be the stories
which are told of the vessels, she GER
tainly has a history. This history was
searched for among some local ancient
mariners yesterday. They all said that
the hulk was that of the bark Remifalo.
One old salt who claimed to know the
full pedigree of the Remifalo said she
was a century old. A hundred years
ago she was considered, though of only
200 tons burden, quite large ship. She
was originally full-rigged ship, and is
supposed to have been a Portuguese
merchantman. Many years ago she
came to this port and for some reason
or other was condemned and sold. Nick
Richard, the well-known Russian ship
owner, bought her and changed herinto
bark.
She carried coal cargos, said the re-
porter's informant, sbetween here and
Australia. She was a staneh vessel in
spite of her marvellous age, and was
built entirely of oak Her hull had a
very blunt appearance, fore and aft,
with sharply outlined bottom. / tell
you. sir, she was a regular waterwiteh.
Heightened yachts and speedy schooners
were nowhere 'longside Of her. She
could beat EN- all working to wind
ward
Il remember she went to Sydney
years since. Her commander, Captain
Howard. more for a joke than anything
else, announced that she was the ship
that took the first voyagers to Aus
tralia. The story was believed, and the
little craft was visited by hundreds of
people.
About eight years ago it was decided
to end the vessels long life of useful
ness. She was verging toward decay,
and it was feared that in some gale she
would 60 to pieces all at once. She
was accordingly towed to where she
now lies. All the copper and iron have
been taken from her hull, and she has
been left to bleach in the sun and be car
ried off pieeemeal by the tides, San

In cold weather it is not advisable
to wash the exposed portions of the
skin, the face and hands, too often, nor
even to wash them in cold water at all.
Lukewarm water should always be
made use of, together with mild soap,
the alternative being the chapping of
the hands and face, and even the APP
pearance of salt rheun or eczema upon
the skin. When frequent washing can
not be avoided in the winter time, the
exposed portions should be rubbed with
freshly prepared cold cream, vaseline or
glycerine.

SENSATIONS AT DEATH.
The Events Of n Lifetime R~p~sted In the

In RlacktCooG some curious examples
are given by the writer of we'll
known pheuomenOn-the fact that the
events of lifetime will pass some
times in n moment through the mind
of person who Is OH the point of
death by drowning or sufrocation.
Speaking of the death of Lord POnson-
Ivy, who was hanged by the mob in
Paris in 1891. and cut down before life
was extinct the author SAYS:
He (Lord Ponsonby) proceeded to
give an account of his sensation on re-
turning 10 Consciousness. He could
not have been actually suspended in
mid-air more than few seconds. and
Yet in that brief space of time all the
events of his past life passed through

past sensation was renewed in all its
freshness. 1t is also remarkable that
he did not at the time experience any
sensation of fear while, he added. his

pended animation / have heard fire.

Of Count Zicny. in the revolution ~

his own regiment of dragons charged

swinging Ia the air. He fell to the
ground and was supposed 10 be- dead;
but his recovery was very different
matter from Lord Ponsonby's for he
had suffered agonics. aud for ten days
had four men constantly with him.
He describes exactly the same sensa-
tons ~ Lord PonsOnby; the scroll of
what was IA much longer life was un-
rolled. even the smallest detail rushed
back on his memory; he had the same
feariesSness at the mOnIent. but he felt
all the horrors of the agony when tho
danger WAS past.
