GOSSIP OF GOTHAM.

A strong effort is being made by
postal officials in New York city to do
away with rented boxes. At first the
rental was four dollars per year; now
it is SIG, and as consequence the num-
Der of such boxes has decreased from,
1000 to 200.
Next November the electors of
Greater New York will be called on to
fill 1873 Offices, and the mayor then
chosen can, by removals and appoint
ments. fill as he pleases during the
first six months of his administration
102 important places.
The publication of the City Record
of New York this year costs 100000.
The appropriation for corporation adj
vertising in the borough of Brooklyn
is 100000, Brooklyn not being includ-

revenue from which is $1,000 from

"Catch a thief and you'll get day
off," is Capt. Chapman's offer to his
squad of night police in New York
city. The captain thinks that a man
who makes a good arrest is entitled to
lay off day because he has to take his
prisoner to court in the morning and
thus loses good deal of sleep.
Bulldogs and terriers have doubled
in price since the Madison Square show
ended. Like any other society fad the
fashion in dogs varies, and as society
has decreed this year that bull pups
and terriers are in style, therefore
those breeds are the only ones to be
considered by any member of the 400
or those who would like to be.

he become head of the church, that not
single vote was cast against him
In the matter of dress, the venc- able
pontiff is punctilious, his wardrobe
being one Of great magnificenct. For
ordinary wear he has white robe,
made in winter of fine cloth, in sum-
mer Of MORE silk. When he goes into
the garden he throws over this long
mantle of red cloth, which has bor-
der Of gold embroidery. When dressed
for private ceremonies he wears sur
plice made of costly lace, and a red
pelerine, Of cloth in winter and Of
satin in summer. For great festivals
he first puts on the ''falda," .
wide seamless coat of white satin,
around which is tied a broad striped
sash of gold, red and white. Above this
is beautiful garment covered with
Jewels, and last comes mantle Of
gold-embroidered velvet. On his feet
the pope always wears red velvet
shoes. In addition to his episcopal ring
the pope is fond of wearing other cost
" rings, often composed of single
stones of great beauty. He seldom
dons the pontifical tiara. which is q
threefold golden crown. lined with
red, green and blue velvet. and COW
cred with priceless jewels. For great
ceremonies his costume is so heavy
that it is impossible for him. at his
great age, to stand or walk. and he is
carried in a chair. When he visits tho
Vatican garden he is carried thither in
a sedan chair of an old-fashioned pat
tern.
Like almost every other human be-
ing the pope has hobby-the writing
Of poetry. Most of his verses are
written in Latin. and eminent critics
have pronounced them among the
finest specimens Of modern poetry.
Few Of his productions are given to tho
public, however; and only one volume
of his poems has been printed since
his accession to the papacy.

article is taken directly from the latest

ROPES FOR CLIFF SCALERS.
Those Made OF Human Hair Are the
Strongest and Best-Their Use
on st. kilda Island.

Perhaps the most useful gift a
bride can give to her fiance is a horse
hair, or better still, human hair
rope. That is if they live on the lone
" island of st. Kilda. The rock
| scalers there consider themselves rich
if their prospective brides are able to
furnish to them rope of this ma

According to woman traveller who
has spent much time in st. Kilda the
usual rope is a stout hempen cord
wrapped round and round with
| sleeps wool; over this lining of
horsehair; finally brands of human
hair. To manufacture such a rope is
the work of years, but the st. Kildan
girl saves her hair combings re-
ligiously, also drying and bleaching
the fibers of rough grasses that grow
on the windswept island. These
fbers strengthen the cable. while the
elasticity of the hair prevents chatting
against the rude cliffs during the rock
scaler's descent.
A curiosity collector wished to buy
fine specimen of hair rope. but the
500 offered was refused calmly by
the professional egg-gatherer. The
cord in question was veneered with
auburn hair-the 80 years collection
from heads of parents, aunts, cousins
and acquaintance. This may not
seem remarkable to those who know
little about st. kilda. but when it is
said that the population is about 200
and that good walker could circle
the island in two hours different no.
ton must be entertained.
Occasionally an accident will hap

dangling in midair, the rope held by

wheeling in frightened confusion
above, about and all around you.
Then, when sharp corner of the cliff
interrupts, there is the sickening cut
ting of the slender string. for slender
it seems under existing circum-
stances.
If the climber is agile he will swing
toward ledge, where, companion Of
the guillemots and razor-bills, he
must wait until second rope is low
cred for his deliverance. If no ledge
is approachable the angry foam hides
him forever. No wonder the rock
scaler values his hair rope. A charit-
able woman saved trunkful of hair
to send to the climbers of the Heb
rides. but, unfortunately, the house
caught fire and her three years col
lection was destroyed.
An advertisement appeared in an
Irish paper some time ago offering
$50 for a genuine st. Kildan hair
rope.
