How 70 Make a Lasso.

No cowboy ur ranger of the west
ern plains is Of any account without
lasso, or rope" as it is generally
called 1t is a much more useful
article than a revolver, and the cat
tie king prefers expert ropers to
crack shots any day.
Lassoes can be bought in any town
west of Kansas City, and fair article
is manufactured for sale, but the ex-
pert roper makes his own rope. 1t
may come in handy some day to save
his life, and he wants to be sure that
It is made properly This is the way
he makes it:
first, the rawhide is cut in thin
strips as long as possible and half
tanned with the hair on. Then these
strips are soaked and stretched over
q block. They are then braided into a
rope, care being taken, of course, to
pull the strands as tight as possible.
When the RATA Qasso) is made it
should be buried for a week, ten days,
or even a fortnight in the Sand. 1t
takes up moisture from the ground
without getting hard. Soaking in the
water won't do, nor will anything else.
so the old ropers say, except burying
1t. When the RATA is dug up it should
again be left for time stretched over
a block, with a weight to hold it taut,
Then the hair should be sandpapered
off the outside, and when the RATA is
creased with mutton tallow and prop.
erly noosed is ready for use.
Every roper who pTetends to take
care Of his apparatus Will bury his
RATA and stretch it every SIX or eight
months. With these precautions a
a lasso is practically everlasting. 1t
can't wear out, and herd Of cattle
could hardly break it.

A Frennent Canse of Fire.

Children playing with matches
cause great many fires" said men,
Der Of the fire department a few days
ago after returning from a fire that
had been caused in the manner stated.
"There is reason for such fires" the
fireman added, 1T seems that people
ought to keep matches out Of the reach
of children and it would be very easy
matter to do so. Match safes could
be hung on nails or pegs driven so high
above the floor that children could not
reach them, even if they stood upon
chairs. By taking little precaution
in the matter many disastl GUS fires
would be prevented and some fatalities
avoided.
only few days ago, the fireman
said, "a child was seriously burned
while playing with matches, and only
the early discovery of the flames pre-
vented what might have proved a
serious confiagration. Many people are
entirely too careless in this matter and
by the exercise Of ordinary care much
serious damage would be avoided
IF people would only take this mat
ter seriously and act accordingly, they
would find at the end Of the year that
there will be a good showing made so
far as the fire fatalities are concerned" /"

Smoke and Health.

Probably one of tie chief reasons for
the indifference to the reform of the
smoke nuisance is that most people
think of the matter not as one of health
but of esthetics. Manufactures are Sc
necessary, it is thought, that the ugli.
ness of a smoky city can be endured,
because of the utility of the results Of
coal burning. But nothing is easier
than to prove that the smoke cloud over
a manufacturing city tremendously
increases the mortality 1t has been
calculated that in such city a man
inhales 100000 germs in ten hours,
and besides this some 100000 of
dust particles as compared with 81 ,00C
of mountain air. The case against
smoke, however, rests chiefly with an
other factor, the increase it causes of
the carbon dioXide in the air In the
country there are about three parts Of
carbon dioxide to 10000 in the air, and
the limit for health in rooms is six, or
at most, ten. During fogs the amount
is greatly increased, sometimes rising
at high as fourteen and probably high.
er. When Pittsburg burned natural
gas it was free from. dense and dark
fogs. The great fog OF 1880 in London
increased the average mortality 1894
in three weeks, and that Of 1892 caused
an excess of 1854 deaths in one week.

The weight Of oeea n Cables.

The cables Of the world aggregate
about 10000 nautical miles. While
the bulk of this is the property Of pri-
vate companies, something in the
neighborhood of 10000 miles is owned
or actively controlled by the different
colonial powers. The British Empire
and France have about 5000 and 5000
miles respectively, Germany 1000 and
Italy 1000 Spain was credited with
100 miles, but a considerable proper
ton of this must now appertain to the
United States.
The laying Of a cable across the ocean
is not nearly so simple a matter as
might appear at first thought. There
are a number of things to be taken
into account. The enormous weight Of
any considerable length of cable SAY,
for instance, sufficient to reach from
Hawaii to an island of the Ladrones, or
what would be only one division in a
direct cable between the United States
and the Philippines) is an important
factor. The Great Eastern was able
TO carry enough for the whole distance
between Valentia, Ireland, and Hearts
Content, Newfoundland, and success.
fully laid it after two attempts. But
this is not so great a distance as our
illustration, and moreover, modern ca.
bles differ from their predecessors in
being made much heavier and in va.
ried types to meet certain conditions.
What is known as "deep-sea cable"
weighs about two tons to the mile.
while the inshore variety weighs four
teen tons to the mile. There are other
intermediate grades. Instead of using
monstrous vessels it has been found
expedient to lay long-distance cables in
sections.-Percie w. Hart, in Lippn.

Spinach and sand.

The French, who eat with theil
brains, say that spinach is the broom
of the stomach. l wonder what kind
they have in La Belle France? Ir
New York the weed we call spinach
would constitute the knife and fork Of
a gallinaceous biped as well as its di
gestive apparatus. That is, there il
enough sand in basket of spinach in
the New York market to restock the
craw and gizzard Of barnyard roos
ter. A miserable little handful of this
silicated, moth-eaten stuff is sold fol
15 cents. When cooked 1t makes 2
dab that will about fill an average
sized kitchen spoon. To wash it re
quires cooks entire afternoon, still il
is gritty. Now, here is a chance foI

MEN OF GERMANY AND AMERICA
conditions Are Widely Different In tho
Two Countries.

Conditions Are Widely Different In tho
Two Countries.
In Germany it may be said that the
tendency Is to make better workmen;
in America and England the tendency
is to make better men. The Anglo
Saxon policy is to cast the bantling
on the rock" and let him work out his
own salvation through temptation. In
Germany the policy is quite the re-
verse; the workman is protected from
discipllning temptation and ruled in a
thousand ways by the government in
stead of being allowed to rule himself.
American discipline is from within.
German from without.
The German workman is without
hope even in religion, for it is rare
that German workman is ever seen
in church after confirmation; there is
little or no chance for him to rise
he has before him no possible career
in politics, nor any hope Of becoming
a Carnegie or Huntington. Conse-
quently he is without ambition to do
his work faster or by better methods;
he is content to do what his father did,
without thinking, though the all see
ing government is making herculean
efforts through its scores of technical
and industrial schools--the best in the
world-to stir him from his st'olid and
precedent-bound lethargy.
The German workman is slow, says
the Outlook, therefore his wages are
small. 1t is less expensive in Ger
many to hire muscle than It is to in
stall expensive machinery. Therefore
in all sorts of German manufacturing
establishments one sees clouds of
workmen bending their backs to bur-
1ens which in America are borne
swiftly, noiselessly and more cheaply
by electricity or steam.
