If you wish for anything on top you get it before the year is out, and had just climbed over it, and wished that I could see the last of Seth Green. Then I was looking at some carved ivory idols, three inches high and worth $7 apiece, and wishing l could buy them for the foreign missionary to see, when 1 happened to turn around and there was Seth climbing over that bridge on all fours with his umbrella hanging on him tied on with red and yellow handkerchief. I got out of that place with all speed. 1 was afraid Seth might see me laugh.
 But, land, am tired of the sight of him. I've seen him nearly run over by the man on stills. He was rubbering so, he didn't see the man. I've seen him being yanked into Mysterious Asia by his coat tails. I've seen the el- ephant in front of Hagenbeck's pick ing his pocket and looking as though he enjoyed it. I've seen him in the top of Creation covering up his eyes for fear he'd see Eve. And I've seen 20 red and yellow Apaches chasing him down the Pike for all they were worth. Oh, I'm so tired of him. I'll stop talking about him.
 I'm going to start for home Monday night, and just dread it, for they say the crowd at the depot is awful, and it's as much as your life is worth to get through it. I shall have to stop now and battle my feet with witch hazel So far the contents of my medicine case hasn't helped me much. I've used the witch hazel and the corn cure. and one day when couldn't get anything else to drink I took some peppermint Once I papered my floor (it was SC dirty) with St Louis paper, and an other time I wiped it up with an ole sponge I found. under the wash stand and pair of stockings there was un der the mattress.

 just tired to death. got out of the
 place better than expected, though,
 for didn't go downtown but took the
 train up at the Worlds fair station
 and the crowd wasn't so bad. But it
 was funny. Just for all the world like fathers sheep when he used to put
 half in pens, and then open gates and
 close gates and drive another half in
 a pen beyond, out to water.
 We were treated just like sheep. All
 gathered into pens, and then turned out when the right train came along. We went through one gate, where a manlooked at our tickets and were all in one pen with our noses pressing against another locked gate, and all the other sheep bunting behind. And presently a train came along and a man unlocked the gate and ran along ahead q wonder he didn't have dish of salt and cry "Nanny, Nanny") and we chased the man down some steps and under some steps and clear to the train. When found my berth, my hat was damned flat, I'd lost a magazine, torn the braia from off my skirt whole yard, stepped on brides train and knocked a mans hat off.

 Did you ever ride in sleeping car, Maria? don't believe you ever did, and as I've had some experience lately with sleeping cars, I'll tell you about them.
 Each car has necessary appendage in the shape of colored man. Some times he is nice and sometimes he ain t. If you want him to do anything par ticular you have to give him quarter. 1 If the car is full and everybody wants their bed made at once he makes that l )ne's first that gives him the largest | piece of money. If it isn't full and l 'olks want to sit up, you don't have to pay him, as he is then quite glad to get yours out of the way. The seats are made fronting, and when he wants to made your bed he pulls down a shelf lp overhead, and gets some mattresses md blankets, and curtains out of it, md partitions to put between and he ,ets some linen from somewhere else md digs some pillows out from under he seats.
 And he hangs little hammock over he window, and then you get in with our bag, if he'll let you have it, and ,id goodby to the world and hope you'll ,e alive the next morning.

Weakest Point of a Hosting Rope

1t has always been assumed that
the weakest point in a hosting rope
is at the socket which Joins it to the
cage, and TO compensate for this it
is common practice TO periodically
cut off number of feet from this end
of the rope aud resocket it.
Recent experiments in Germany
seem to disprove this and to show
that the weakest point is the point
just in front or on the drum when
the cage is at the bottom. account
of these experiments appeared in an
article by Mr.. Speer in Gluckauf FOR
July 16, in which the author gives a
long table of tests for tensile strength
of old hosting ropes. made in the eX-
detrimental station Of the Westphal-
ian Miners Benefit Association. The
results make it appear as though the
part of the hosting rope, which is
subjected to the greatest strain, is
not, us most generally accepted, To-

natural looking picture of one on the
blackboard, showing the flames, lava
and smoke belching forth from It's
crater. 1t was yery realistic pict-
ure and did great credit to the teach
er's artistic ability. When complet-

per cent less than at the cage. The
author thinks that endeavors TO de-
crease the legal requirement. of a
factor Of safety of when testing the
lower end of the rope, should be re-

of 6 at the lower end, the factor of

made it will-b necessary to revise
the common practice in regard to the

take account OF their decreased
