A QUAKER CITY INDUSTRY.
Hangmen's Ropes of Finer Quality Than
Those JJsed for Ordinary Purposes

Hangmen's Ropes of Finer Quality Than
Those Used for Ordinary Purposes.
Rope used for executions is made al
most exclusively by Philadelphia rope
factory and differs from ordinary rope
for commercial purposes in that it is
made by hand, instead of by machin-
cry, and finer quality of rope is en-
ployed, says the New York Herald.
Orders for such rope are received by
the Philadelphia firm from all parts of
the country. When the rope to be used
in hanging is received by the sheriff it
is usually locked up carefully and kept
from curious eyes. As the day of exc
cution draws near the rope is soaped
literally with common kitchen soap,
so it may run freely through the moose.
Then it is thoroughly stretched, one
end being tied to the gallows beam,
while to the other end is attached
about three hundred pounds of stone
or iron. The rope is allowed to
remain at this heavy tension for
hours. and then, after having been
well soaped again and rendered per-
fectly supple, it is laid away to await
the day when it is to be used for busi-
hess purposes. A1Uer use the rope IS
usually considered to be one OF the
pcrquisites of the hangman. If he is
not the sheriff himself, that official
usually cuts off few inches of the
moose and divides it up among his
favored friends as relics. The hang
man is then at liberty to dispose of the
remainder as he chooses. Usually he
sells it at fancy prices to curiosity
seekers or to dime museum managers
and others ON the lookout for curiosi-
ties. After the hanging of the four
Haymarket anarchists-August Spies,
Albert R. Parsons, Henry Fischer and
William Engelin the Cook county
jail at Chicago, in November, 1887, the
ropes were taken from around the
mems necls by Sheriff Matson's depu-
ties. The greater part of the ropes
were cut up almost Immediately after
ward and given as relics to the wit
nesses of the execution and others
Seven dime museums in different parts
of the country about month later
vorc exhibiting four uncut ropes,
N.-.ch were sworn to as having been
the identical, unmutilated ropes with
which the four anarchists were hanged.

Roses BETTER Than Rice.

After a recent Australian wedding
the guests showered the happy pair
with rose petals until the bride was
literally covered with the fragrant
leaves as she sat in the carriage. A
pretty tribute this, and not likely to be
followed by undesirable consequences.
A small grain of rice in ones eye is not
a pleasant travelling companion, par
icularly when it is desired to avoid
feeling irritated.

PAINT AND POWDER.
A Few Reflections for the Consideration
of Womankind.


One may be disposed to forgive the
woman who has been beautiful, if, in
her desperate attempts to retain her
beauty, she paints and powders and
chooses to make of herself thing of
borrowed shreds and patches. But,
says All The Year sound, when women
tell us-as some of them do tell us now
and then-that men like a woman to
caricature her own womanhood: that
they prefer-it comes to that-imita-
tion beauty to the real article, they
require of us faith too great for ordi-
nary human nature. To be told, as
was told little time ago-and by a
lady-that men do not care for women
unless they paint and powder is to
have too strong strain placed upon
ones natural civility. That this same
informant was guilty of perhaps par
donable' feminine exaggeration when
she declared that, nowadays, all
women use both paint and powder I
am assured. Had she confined herself
to the statement that very large
number of women are Indebted for
what they call their char;2s to any
thing but nature she would have de-
livered herself of an utterance on the
literal veracity of which he might
safely have staked, as our transat-
lantic cousins have it, her bottom
dollar" The lady of fashion may not
be aware that she is guilty of rever-
sion to savagery when she calls in arti-
fetal aids to the help of her natural
attractions; but she is. Among savage
people it is an almost general custom
to revert to such auxiliaries.

Search Lights Versus Torpedo Boats

Search Lights Versus Torpedo BoatS'
It is stated that ono of the most effec-
tive means of protecting Il ship in these
days Of torpedoes, the grouping to-
gether OF number of stationary search
lights, each illuminating its own sec
ton SO that the ship is surrounded by
an unbroken circle OF light, is to be
adopted in the new American war-ships.
This has been suggested by very pro-
nounced defect in the usual search light
practice. In order to afford sufficient
light for o careful examination of the
waters surface at points removed from
the ship, the beam of light must be re-
volved very slowly, and hence, during q
great portion of the time, any particu-
lar section of the water is left in dark
ness. AS it takes only five minutes for
a torpedo boat to run distance of two
miles, it will be seen that the conditions
are all in favor of the attacking iorce.
Before the revolution of the search
light is completed, there is plenty OF
time for the torpedo boat to run up and
discharge her deadly weapons.-Detroit
