strips Of board that extend across the
ends and form the end pieces Of the
reel. Large quantities Of barbed wire
are exported, and it is q common sight
to see the reels going aboard ships
lying at South street wharvcS. says
the New York Sun. Tue wire is
brought alongside the ship on the deck
Of lighter, such 4 load consisting
perhaps of 1900 or 5000 reels; some
times two or three lighter loads are
taken aboard 4 single ship. If it can
be done the lighter is brought along
side the vessel. in the slip. in order, as
far as possible, to avoid handling;
with the lighter alongside the wire can
be hoiSted directly from the lighter in
to the ship. Sometimes it IS necessary
to tie the lighter to the opposite side
Of the wharf from that at which the
vessel is made fast, and move the wire
across the wharf. In that case more
handling is required.
There should be a man on the lighter
to tumble the reels down from the
load and roll them alongside to the
rail, the rolling being done with the
foot. On the deck Of the lighter, at
the rail, stands two men, ca,h with q
cotton hook. When the reel Of wire
has been rolled along to item and
tipped over on its side, between them,
they each set a hook though strands
enough Of the wire to hold. and lift the
reel and set it up on the striagpiece Of
the wharf Thence it is tipped over
onto the wharf by a man standing
there to receive it, and he starts it
rolling across the wharf hy a push

A CHlNAMAN's FATE.
DoeIared Dead by Society, He Was Ia
booed and Killed Himself.


booed and Killed Himself.
In San Francisco there's a Chinese
secret society, the laws Of which are
as strict and unchanSinS as those OF
the Modes and Persians. One OF the
members Of this society told some Of
it's secrets-an offenSe punishable by
death. He was 70 be tried in the usual
way before a tribunal Of the society.
The night Of the ordeal was fixed.
The culprit was represented by able
counsel, but the sentence was death
as was expected. An eXecutloner was
called from an adjoining room. He
was a strappinS big Chinaman, and
Wore one Of those hideous wooden
masks that art critics think so bearti-
full. He carried Il double-edged sword
fully five feet long. To test the edge he
folded & newspaper in eight parts, ana
the knife went through those eight
thickneSses Of paper rs If 1t were
bit Of butter in summer time.
The culprit was brought in upon his
knees, and another Chinaman, also on
his knees, faced him AMI caught the
traitor by the cue. He drew the cul-
prit's neck toward him. the smock was
pulled over the shoulders. and with
one mighty swing the double-edged
sword descended. Like flash it Glove
the air and then stopped. y fractional
part Of an inch separated the sword
from the victims neck. Very, very
gently the executioner brought the
weapon down until it just touched the
traitors neck Then. as it is Il crime to
kill q man in San Francisco, he stop
ped. He brought the sword to his side
again, turned to the jugdes and said:
The Gull i'rit is dead"
The newly executed got on his feet
and said something to the judge. The
Judge did not heed for the culprit
was dead. He tried to speak to the
Cinnamon, who were hurrying from
the hall But he spoke to deaf ears.
To all intents and purpose he was q
dead man.
He made his way into the street,
and the first thing that caught his eye
was hugh poster proclaiming to all
Chinatown that he i:cd been executed
that evening. No one would speak to
him, no one look at him-he was q
dead man-JuSt as Qead as II the exc
cutioncr's sword had in reality de-
scended.
For whole week that man wan
dered about Chinatown, the posters
Droclaiming his execution staring him
in the face at every turn. Not a crust
of bread could he beg-not mouth
ful of water. His people knew him
as dead-he was past, gone, buried.
And so one day he wandered up into
the American portion Of San Fran
cisco and stole 4 revolver from mes
senger boy, who was showing it to
some companions. Then he ran down
into Chinatown, sat down on the pave
ment beneath one Of his own death
notices and blew the added brains out
of his poor Chinese head.
