ROPE MAKING IN MANILA.
A Good Product Turned Out With the
Most Primitive Machinery.

A Good Product Turned Out With the
Most Primitive Machinery
Rope making is an industry at which
many work. The machinery used is
primitive, but the finished article the
workers turn out is smooth and strong
There is no way of cheating in this
work. The hemp comes in bales; as it
leaves the plantations 1t is taken out
to the street, where the work is done
and where the spools are for the first
process, Time and practice are needed
to learn the knack Of keeping the reel
going around by a simple twist of the
wrist The opera or backs slowly away
as the strands grow in length, and when
he has gone as far as he deems neces-
sary he begins to wind up all the cord
| he has spun.
| For the next operation twelve spools
of this cord and another machine are
used. The machine has twelve cranks
at one end and two at the other When
the twelve strands are laid, if the rope
is to be long one, supports are erected
about fifty feet apart. These are to
keep the strands from twisting and
tanglng as they are spun about. Two
men stand at the tipped end of the walk
and face the man who is turning the
twelve strands. Each has two cone
shaped pieces of wood in his hands, and
in these cones are six grooves, through
which the strands run. The operator
at the strand end turns his wheel to
the right and the men at the other end
reverses the opera ton. The strands be-
gin to twist and grow smaller and hard
er, and at last the two men with the
cones start slowly toward the strand
man. If there are tangles in front Of
them they separate the snarl with their
toes. In front are twelve strands. Be-
hind the advancing operators are two.
1t is slow walk from one end to the
other and it is hard work to keep the
strands whirling and the machinery GO
ing until the two ropes are complete
When all is done the finished object is
a rope the size of a clothes-line
If larger rope Is to be made the
operation is repeated with as many
strands as desired, according to the
thickness Of the rope wanted The pro-
cess is the same but cones with larger
grooves are used. The rope may be
made of any length. In fact, as long
as the hemp holds out the operators can
splice and splice indefinitely. The rope
is rolled up in great coils when it Is
finished for shipment, and Is then wrap
ped in coarse cloth manufactured from
the same f1bre.-Chicoga Record.

OBEDIENCE TO ORDERS.

The following dialogue, current at
the time, between one of Stonewall
Jackson's soldiers and the provost
guard, illustrates Jacksons tact at elud-
ing his enemy, and also the obedience
rendered and the confidence reposed
in him by his troops:
The orders read on dress parade the
evening before jackson left the valley
to take part in the seven days fight
around Richmond We're, that in case
the army moved before further orders,
the answer from every soldier to any
and all questions from those connected
with the army shall be II don't know"
On the march the provost guard found
a soldier in cherry tree helping him
self when the following took place:
'Who are you?" demanded the guard.
Il don't know" replied the soldier.
Where are you going?"
II don't know" which was no doubt
correct.
where have you been"
II don't know"
Where is your commando
II don't know"
"To what command do you belong?"
II don't know"
what are you doing in that cherry
tree?'
II don't know"
Are those good cherries you are eat
ing?'
II don't know"
rs there anything you do know?"
yes
What is it?''
"Well, the last order I had from old
Stonewall was that | was not to know
anything until further orders, and
gentlemen, I would see you all id be-
fore I will know anything until the Old
Stonewall takes that order off.-Waco

very people who tried to corrupt the
Boers-and failed. "A" fund Of twenty
five thousand pounds was subscribed by
a certain group Of men to pass certain
legislatlon-and it was not passed.
Hence the modification.
That sounds bad"
"Ahl but nothing is too bad to say
against the Transvaal government.
They complain of the liquor laws; but
what did we do? | was on the liquor
committee, and we passed the most
stringent laws to limit the sale Of il
quor on the Rand among the blacks.
They virtually amounted to prohibition.
But then we We're inundated with petit
lions from johannesburg petitions in
which lists OF names were written in the
same handwriting, and the same name
was inpudently repeated down the
length of a whole shetland every OBJ
stacle was put in the way of passing
our laws. And now the same govern
ment Is accused of laXity in liquor leg
islation'
mot only that; but of harshness to
the British Indians, and many other
things"
Yes; the British Indians form an
other case in point. The laws we
passed in regard to the British Indians
We're passed on the request of the Rand
itself, and on the pressure Of the min
ling companies. They were supported
by Mr.. Loveday. And now the colonial
office and the Times promote a cam
paisn against us on this account, en-
tirely ignoring the fact that the British
Indians are far worse treated in Natal,
which is British colony. There they
are not only treated as pariahs, but
quite recently there was a demonstra-
tlon against their landing, and there is
an agitation to keep them out of the
colony. Why not look at home?"
But what of your judges being re-
moved? The Chief Justice Kotze
case?"
II do not agree with the president on
that matter but public opinion here en-
tirely misrepresents it. Chief Justice
Kotze took decision he had given in a
famous case-the Doms case. 1t is as If
Lord Russell were to suddenly say that
he had changed his mind on an impor-
tant decision. But it happened that the
Rad had framed a resolution on the
previous decision of Kotze, and his
change of front threw them into confu-
sion. The Volkskraad condemned
Kotze's new Judgment. and there was
thus conflict between the executive
and the judiciary Kruger then got the
Rad to pass resolution that he--Kru-
ger-might dismiss Judges in case they
defied a resolution of the Voksraad:
and he then dismissed Kotze. l do not
entirely defend it; but your parliament.
too can obtain the dismissal of judge
by an address to the queen
Then passing from the details to, the
general case, Mr.. Watkins ended by re-
peating his horror of war. 1.-TWO of
President Steyn's sisters are married to
Englishmen. DIR. Reitz and Dr. Shuts
were both trained in England. English
and Dutch are related one to another

vocABULARIEs OF EUROPE.

If the English language is soon to be

corning the comparative wealth of all
the languages of modern civilization,
ours is the one which heads the list with
