REELS OF BARBED WIRE.
One Thing That IL Never Handled
without Gloves When II
In Shippcd.

Rarbcd wire for shipment is wound
on reels containing about 100 pounds
each. In its dimensions II reel of wire
is of about the size of half hushcl
measures; innumcrahlc harbs project
from it all over except for narrow
strips of board that extend across he
ends and form the end pieces of The
reel. Large quantities of barhch wire
are exported. and il is n common sight
to see reels going aboard ships lying
at South street wharvcS. The wire is
brought alongside HE ship on the deck
of a lighter such load consisting per-
haps of 1000 or 5000 reels; sometimes
two or three lighter loads are taken
aboard Il single ship. If il can be done
the lighter is brought alongside the
vessel in the slip. in order, as far as
possible, to avoid handling; with the
lighter alongside the wire can he hoist
cd directly from the lighter into 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 would be a mnn on the lighter
to tumble the reels down from the
load and roll them along to the rail,
the rolling being don, with the foot
On the deck of the lighter at the rail
stand two men, each with cotton
hook. When The reel of wire has been
rolled along to them and tipped over
on its side between them they each set
hook through strands enough ~ the
wire to hold and lift the reel and set
it up on the stringpiccc of the wharf
Thence it is tipped over onto the wharf
by man standing there to receive it i,
and he starts it rolling across the
wharf by push with the foot. lie
wears hand coverings of some sort, as
every longslorcman does in handling
barbrd wire; these protective cover
lngs include gloves and mittcns OF
leather, and hand feathers. The hand
feathers worn arc seven or eight inches
IN length and five or six inches in
breadth and are often cut from old
bootlcgs. Hand feathers have a slit
IN them across one end, through which
the hand is passed, the strip of cnth
above the slit resting on the back OF
the wrist. When the palm and insidcs
of the fingers of gloves have been worn
out the gloves are put on with the
back Of The glove on the palm side Of
the hand and used in that manner UNI
til that side is worn out also The reels
of wire are gathered in punches of six
at the foot q he board that rises from
the wharf, resting against the ship to
protect the side of HE ship from being
scrapcd in hosting cargo aboard; they
are hoistcd aboard with bit of steve
dorcs' gear made expressly for the plIr-
pose, comprising half dozen dangling
lengths of rope, each wit tn n hook at
the end of it, which can be spread out
to reach the reels. hook is nut into
each reel, under wire enough to give it
secure hold, and when they have all
been hooked The bunch is hoistcd IN
the side OF the ship-N. Y. Sun.

A Badger Hunt
BY William L. Bradley

By Will:

HOOP-POLE HIGHTOWER LIVED
/ on the edge of the prairie, not
dozen miles from Pine Grove station.
He had sold out his farm in Missouri,
and had come to Calcasicu to get rich
and to grow old as gracefully as cir
cumstances would permit. Just how
he gained his nickname, lloop-pole him
self could not tell. lie knew that it
had chung to him since he could remcm-
Der, and believed that ii had something
to do with his personal appearance at
tender age.
This may have been true; but if it
was, time had wrought mighty changes
in the old man, as his proportions were
far from being after the hoop-polc
standard of excellence, nor was he built
according to the Grecian idea of perfcc-
ton. On the contrary, he was very
stout, with no more grace in his car
riage than in that of an over-fat goose.
Ioop-pole's efforts at raising hair had
not been crowned of late with all the
success he could have wished. The use
of half dozen different "restorers" at
the same time had reduced his fringe of
glory TO a mere FRAGILE. AS n last resort,
he shaved his face clean, hoping there
by to turn the tide of hair-making ele
ment to the spot where it was most
sorely needed. To add to these annoy
nnces, he was growing very near
sighted; but it was more than ones life
was worth to tell him so.
Among the old mans many posses
sions that he had brought away from
Missouri were a wife and batch of seven
boys in assorted sizes, with voices tuned
to every note in the scale. Hoop-pole
was good 10 his family, and always kept
the larder and the clothes press bounti-
fully supplied. In his heart he was
proud of the boys. AS to his wife, he
believed her to be the best cook in the
western country; but he would not
have told her so for the world. In truth,
to judge from daily symptoms, his chief
aim in life was TO convince her that she
knew nothing whatever; and he knew
it all. The boys dared not differ very
much with their father at any time,
experience and trunk straps having
taught each one to corral adverse opin-
ions behind the doors of his own face.
One morning, upon sitting down to
breakfast, old IIoop-polc announced in
tones of conviction hat he had Just seen
a badger.
IA badgcr!" exclaimed the two older
boys in the same breath, while all the
younger lIoop-polcs assumed attitudes
of feasibility.
ayes. badger-b dyer, badger, Is
there anything remarkable about
that?"
"No. sir" answered Cap, the first
born; "but I didn't know they had
badgers down here in Louisiana"
"Ah-ha! Well, there are sight of
things you don't know yet. my man"
ooh, poppy!" cried the last born.
"Was hit DIES like a Souri, badgcr?"
Eyes, sir; regular old Missouri
badger"
"Who-o-ce!" exclaimed several in
chorus.
"Where-wherc did you see him, pa 2"
asked Cap, with some reluctance.
"Going into a hole beside the smoke
house. of course" snapped old Hoop
pole. "Whcre do you suppose ! found
HMM the parlor sitting on the piano
stool?"
"Oh-h. won't it be fun digging him

"Who-cc! but just know Tige'll give
him fits!"
"Pshaw! I bet Bulgcr can whip the
thing by himself"

marks heard from both sides the Hoop

A large crowd was at the OrphCum on
Saturday evening, and it would have
been much larger had there been more
seating accommodations. Those who
were so fortunate as to secure seats
had the pleasure OF listening To enc Of

popular .play house. The opening act
"Euchered" was well received, and the
tragedy sketch, "A Bloodless Murder"
by Boggs and Miss Harvard was a great
success. Post and Marion, as the two
doctors, kept the audience in a roar.

DR.. Day. Dr Alvarez and Mr.. Rey-
nOlds spent all of Saturday at the Paci-
hc Mail wharf testing the efficacy Of
the present fumigating formula for de-
strOying the bacilli of contagious dis
ease. As previously indicated i'm this
paper the microbes were placed around
in various places, nearly all. however,
being closely covered up. The fumi-
eating room was then tightly closed
and the fumes Of the formula turned
on This was kept up for eight hours.
The microbes were taken out as soon
as possible and returned to the office
of the Board of Health. DR.. Day and
DIR. Alvarez are now engaged in the
final test and will be able to report on
the result tomorrow They are endeav-
oring to resuscitate the germs, with the
hope, however, that such may be found
wholly impossible. Upon the result of
this effort will depend the outcome of
the experiment and il will form the
lines upon which the Board of Health
will act in future i'm dealing with sus-
picious freight from infected ports.
Mr.. Reynolds is an advocate of the
old sulphur method of treating freight
and was anxious to follow the one with
the formula with another using sui
phur. This he did yesterday. Assisted
by G. Charlock sanitary inspector he
started up the engine early in the
morning and Kept II going eight hours.

luggage in the fumigating apartment
precisely as it had been the day before.

All the cracks in the building had been
sealed.

pearance of being very dead, but OF
course this can not be told yet for Ger.

RAN OVER A MAN.
Hackman Harrison Breaks the Arm of
A. j. Wilson.

A. j. Wilson, school teacher at Milo
lii, South Kona, was run over by Boo
Harrison, hackman, about 800 Satur-
day night i'm Union street and had his
right arm broken just above the wrist,
and was otherwise bruised and used up.
Harrison was arrested today on the
charge of furious and needless driving.
He has been i'm the hands of the police
before on the same charge.
Wilson had been reading at the pub
lie library and left to go to his lodgings.
He was on Hotel street, crossing from
the restaurant to King Brothers corner.
The hack came bursting down the
street and before the pedestrian could
get out of the way, struck him on the
right hip and knocked him down. A
wheel ran over his arm. Had he been
two feet nearer the hack he would al
most undoubtedly have been killed by
the horse and the vehicle.
You are too slow; why don't you get
out of the way when you see a hack
coming?" asked Harrison when he saw
what he had done, although the man
was crossing the street, which he had
perfect right to do.
Harrison will be called before Judge
Wilcox tomorrow morning and asked to
explain the matter.
