The USES OF The ROPE.
Hundreds of Thousands of Human
Lives Each Day Hung by
Wire Thread.

While the lOngestropes are used
for hauling purposes, some of the
most interesting data in cOnnec-
ton with wire ropes are obtained
with their use for hosting pur-
poses, says Mines and Minerals.
Hundreds of thousands of lives are
literally each day hung by small
wire thread as the men are low
cred into and hOisted from the
bowels of the earth, and in many
cases the only means of o0mmuni-
cation between the surface and
the underground workings, which
are from a few feet to a mile in
depth, is by a comparatively small
hosting rope. Think of hanging
from the end of a cable only few
inches in diameter and a mile
long, being hoisted at a rate which
is faster than that of the average
railroad train, and some idea of
the hosting problem can be
gained. To the honor of the wire
rope manufacturers, it must be
said that very few shaft accidents
are due to the breaking of the rope,
excepting where the cage is over
wound and unwarranted demands
are made upon the rope, or which
are traceable to false economy on
the part of the users of wire rope.
No part of a mining plant is more
carefully inspected and watched
than the hosting rope, and very
few mining managers will take
any unnecessary risks in the hoist
ing of men. The skill of the wire
rope maker is taxed to the utmost
to provide ropes for hosting from
great depths. To make rope of
practicable size that will be suf-
ficiently flexible and that will bear
even its own weight is no mean
problem, for in such cases the
weight Of the rope is often much
more than the material lifted.
Hence we have taper rope intend
ed to give a varying section depen-
dent on the amount of rope off the
drum or reel.

PEWTER ONCE IMPORTANT.
AS a Material for Household Utensils
It Was in Great Demand In
Early England.

Probably not all even of the en-
tbusiastic visitors to the exhibit
ton of old pewter in Clifford's Inn
hall realize whata very important
domestic part pewter played in
the days of our distant ancestors.
A peep at some of the house
hold books of the Stuart days,
says the Westminster Gazette, is
quite a revelation on this point.
In 1864, for instance, Sir Miles
Stapleton, a Yorkshire baronet,
took it in his head to replenish his
stock of pewter, and here are a
few of his many purchases, as re-
corded in his own handwriting:
at, paid for six large puter plat.
tiers or dishes at Is. Z d. a pound,
and they weighed 81 pound and a
half, which comes to f04.01.05;
paid for two dozen puter plates at
Is. Cd. a pound and they weighed
81 pound, EO2.15.O6; paid then
more for two puter stands for the
table, f00.0S.00; one gallon puter
can and six porringers, f0019.16;
paid to William Hutchinson, of
Yorke, for II new puter dishes
for the table weighing "A pounds at
II pence pound, f03.14.09."
And among other purchases at the
same time are two dozen new pew
ter plates for 32s.; another of two
dozen at lbs. a dozen, and a large
quantity of spoons, basins and
candlesticks.

ADJUSTMENT OF NOISE.
The Skill and Ingenuity of Man Is

The next advance in comfort

ishment of noise, says Medical
Talk. We expect to see in the near

man displayed in an attempt to
stin the roar and crash.of citylife.
beneficenee it would be
'ifi noisegcould.b be dispelled or even
mitigated in city and town. The
rumble of wa CONS of every descriD-
ton, the grind and jostle of street
cars, the screech and foot of horn
and whistle, all this din that
makes it necessary for vendors of
all sorts to shrek in order to at
tract attention.
The noise of the city is driving
thousands of people mad and
shortening the lives of a multi
tude of others. 1t is the noise
of the city that gives the
country its chief attraction. The
stiffness of the country-what a
benediction it is after months of
city experience. To sleep in a
country house where all is still,
where silence is unbroken, save for
the baying of a dog or the cry of
some night bird. Stiffness is a
marvellous luxury to the denizens
of the city. There must be some
way to put quietus to this intol-
cradle pandemonium.

SUCH is HUMAN NATURE.
When Life Appears to Be the Least
Desirable Strong Men Go
to Singing.

The old soldier is most human.
In garrison, where every want is
satified and every effort is made
to supply his least need, he is the
worst of GROWERS and a highly
dissatisfied man, says the New
York Sun.
But turn him into the field on
half ratiOns, let him hike all day
through the blazing sun on one
canteen of warm water, put him
to sleep at night on a wet blanket
on the marshes till the cold noun
tain mists wake him shiyering
after midnight, and he is the
cheerfullest fellow in the world.
One of them just passed on his
way to eat his supper. He was
dirty. He was hungry. He was
wet.
His beard was ten days old.
His feet were sore. His lips were
split and his face blistered with
the sun.
He had marched all day long
through swamps and mud. His
supper, carried on his tin mess
plate, consisted of a small bit of
greasy bacon, couple of hard
tack and swallow of coffee. Yet
he was singing:
"AlI want is fifty million dollarsr'
