Ropes of Human Hair.

The young fellows who make their
living by gathering the eggs of sea
fowl on the rocky island of St. Kill
da, one of the Hebrides, consider
themselves rich if they are possess
ed of a rope made of hair from the
head of the girl they love. They
use these ropes in swinging from
the precipitous cliffs of the island.
They vary in length, one of forty or
fifty feet being especially priced.
The usual kind is stout hempen
cord, wrapped round and round with
sleeps wool. Over this is coating
of horsehair and finally one of hu-
man hair. To manufacture such a
rope is the work of years, but the
st. Kilda girl saves her combings
religiously. A curio collector who
wanted to buy one of these ropes
offered $125 for it, but the offer
was refused. The cord in question
was covered with a veneer of red
hair the result of thirty years. col
lection from the heads of parents,
aunts and cousins.

Feminine INTUITION.
Incident That Emphasized Woman's
Traditional Attribute.

The intuition of woman is pro-
verbal. Whatever man is willing
or unwilling to accord to her, he
must admit that her intuitive fac
ulty is amazingly acute. 1t may not
always be evident in the selection of
husband and helpmeet, but it gen.
orally is in the smaller affairs of
life, as witness this:
Two passengers on an Amsterdam
avenue car who attracted most at
tention the other day were wom-
an and man. She was exquisitely
dressed. He was old and shabby,
and he was inadequately clad. The
woman regarded him intently for
some time, but he kept his eyes on
the floor. When the old man got
up and started out of the car with
out hesitation the woman drew
something from her purse and,
touching the old mans arm, put the
coin into his hand as he turned.
Now, there was not one man in
that car who did not feel the woman
had made a mistake. There was
such an air of respectability about
the old man it would not have SEEM
ed unnatural in him to reject, even
resent, the proffered money. But
the well dressed woman knew what
she was about. The old man took
the coin, bowed his thanks and
alighted. But the incident did not
end here. When it came time for
her to leave the car, every man on
the back platform raised his hat to
her as she swept by.-New York
