ROPE FROM PHILIPPINES.
ing in Many Mills In This
Country.

Many new factory plants are discard
ing betting altogether and using instead
drives" OF Manila rope. For this pur-
pose the usual length and strength OF
the Manila fiber maze it peculiarly suit
ed. Acquisition of the Philippine is
lands and the consequent increased traf-
fic in Manila rope have brought that
commodity into a commercial promi-
nence few ever dreamed it would at
tain, says Popular Mechanics. 1t is caus-
ing Manila rope to supplant betting as
a means of power transmission in many
of the new mills and factories through
out America, and the manufacture OF
transmission ropes has suddenly sprung
into such Importance as to be classed
among the greatest industries of their
country. The fiber usually varies in
length from 6 to feet, but some
leaves attain length of Is feet. Its ten
sile strength surpasses that of any other
fiber known to man. Official tests at
Watertown, Mass, have proved its
strength to be in excess of SO, 900 pounds
per square inch.
OF course, there are other materials
used in manufacturing ropes for trans
mission purposes, but none of such gen.
eral utility as the Manila fiber that
comes from the far-off Philippines. The
other materials are steel or iron wire
and cotton. Wire rope is well adapted
for the transmission of large powers to
great distances, as for instance in cable
and inclined railways. It's rigidness,
great weight and rapid destruction, due
to bending, however, unfit it for use in
mill service, where the average speed OF
ropes is about 1000 feet per minute
AS the easiest way to break wire is by
bending it, ropes made of it by any
method whatsoever have proved I'm.
satisfactory for drives of short centers
and high velocity.
Cotton ropes are advantageously used
as bands or cords on the smaller machine
appliances; the fiber, being softer and
more flexible than Manila hemp, gives
better results for small sheaves, but for
large drives, where power transmitted is
in considerable amount, cotton rope, as
compared with Manila, Is hardly to be
considered 1t is far less durable; it is
injuriously affected by the weather, SO
that for exposed drives, paper-mill work
Or use in water-wheel pits it is almost
worthless. 1t is difficult, if not impOssi-
BILE, to splice uniformly. Even the best
quality of cotton rope is greatly inferior
to the poorest Manila in strength, while
for the transmission of equal powers the
cost OF cotton rope varies from one-third
to one-half more than the best Manila.
Manila fiber is causing America to be-
come famous for making the finest trans
mission ropes in the world. The fiber
is brought here in shiploads from Ma
Mia, and, after being made into rope at
American manufactures is shipped tc
England. France, South Africa, Aus
tralia, Japan and other countries. Eng
land was in advance of America in sue
cessfully using rope-drives, but, since
our superior access to Manila hemp, we
new send rope-drivss to England.

MONTHS TRIAL FREE.
Breathe Hyomei Three or Four Times Daily
and Be Cured Of Catarrh.

John E. DAILY, one Of the most reli-
able business men in Grand Rapids,
has seen many instances of the re-
markable power OF Hyomei to cure
catarrhal troubles and OF her disorders
of the respiratory organs.
Results in this treatment have given
him SD much confidence in Hyomei
that he will give q months trial with
the positive understanding that if a,
he end of that time cure is not
effected or enough relief gained to
warrant continued use of the treat
ment for while longer, the none,
will be refunded.
Hyomei is the only treatment for
catarrh that has ever been sold under
d mo cure, II" pay" plan, and the onl,
one where months trial treatment
is free unless it cures.
Hyomei is not pill or liquid. just
breathe it through the neat inhaler
hat cunleS with every outfit. and
benefit will be seen from the first day, :
use. Breathed in this way, the health
giving HyOmei penetrates to the
minutest air cells of the lungs. and
drives catarrhal germs and poison>
from the system.
The complete outfit costs but 81,

Obt aimed for soc.
Remember that if Hyomei does not
cure you after months trial. John

THE HUMAN STRIDE.
Denotes the Character OF tho Man
Very Accurately In Many
Iustauces

There is probably no wider field than
hat of the business world in which to
study the different strides of men.
There are all sorts of characters In
business in large city, and there Is
every opportunity to study the various
strides of the business man as he daily
walks the streets, says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. There is no outside
| influence brought to bear upon the man
whose steps take him over the even
streets of well-paved city. There is no
occasion for man to acquire any par
| ticular step that is forced upon the sail
or or the farmer or the convict, who ac-
| qufre the step peculiar to them wholly
through habit. Once these influences
are removed the specific stride that they
acquire in the daily routine of their
lives, whether they be upon the sea, the
farm or in prison, they fall back, or
rather, they adopt the walk to which
they are directed by their Individual
| characters. 1t is a scientific fact that
there are certain parts of the human
frame, certain features, through which
the character of man can de detected.
The shape of nose is medium by
which character is often told. The
| mouth, the lips, also are good bases
from which to foretell the character OF
a person. 1t is also claimed that by the
eyebrows mans character can be sized
up. In fact, almost every contour,
every line, every bone, each feature of
the human body speaks plainly for some
part of the mans character. If charac-
ter can be told by the shape of the nose,
by the contour of cheek, by the lips,
chin, hand, why can character not
be told by means of mans walk? There
are all sorts of men and there are all
sorts of walks. There is the walk of the
man who is conscious of his own i'm
portance. There are hosts of men who
have fine regard for their own impor-
lance, and many justly so.
There is the walk of the bashful man,
that shy, self-conscious stride that is
seen so frequently. A man who walks
in the manner is one of a rather I'M
stable character. A man of strong char
acter, who is perfectly sure of himself
will walk with firm steady stride under
almost all circumstances There is the
walk of the bombastic man. This man
will never hesitate in crossing the floor
of public room. He will walk with a
stride that tells you that he knows him
self You can spot" this sort of man
almost anywhere in the manner of his
stride. There is the thoughtful man, who
goes along with head bent and careful
stride. This man usually walks in exact
ly the same even way unless he happens
to be in hurry to catch street car
There is the man of careless character
| who goes along with arms swinging and
legs kicked out before him as though
he did not have care in the world. The
staggering man is easily told by his
walk. If man swaggers in his stride
it can be generally counted on that he
swaggers all over, in his conversation
his ideas and in his business. There are
other kinds of walks besides these men
toned, and each style of stride tells
something about the mans character.

BIBLE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Translation of the New Testament In.
to Some of the Native
Dialects.

During the past two years and g hall
a number of Protestant missionaries in
the Philippines, mostly Presbyterian
and Methodist, have been engaged in
making translations of certain of the
New Testament gospels into the Taga-
log, and then the Vasayan, the Pampan-
gan and perhaps already the llocanC
dialects. Their object is of course, says
the Outlook, most laudable one, from
the standpoint OF every one who believes
in the education of the individual will
and judgment in religious as in all other
matters; it is to give to the Filipinos,
who are really without anything that
could fairly be called religious litera-
ture, chance to learn of Christ's life
and mission in their OVID everyday
tongues, in which most of the masses
can read at least little. 1t is an enter
prise magnificent in scope; all the more
reason for expecting to make progress
slowly in it.
It is to be feared that the TRANSACTIONS
hurried into shape at Manila and hurried
off the presses in this country, are
hardly such as could be desired to be
made of s'The Book" However Jealous
the missionaries must be given credit for
being IN acquiring a-practical speaking
knowledge of the dialects Of the natives
with whom they are at work, not one OF
them is in any sense scholarly linguist,
and there is all the more necessity foI
careful, scholarly work in the half-de-
veloped, imperfect forms of written
speech, such as the various Malay dia-
Iects are. To be sure, the American mis-
sionaries have had the assistance OF
several natives of more or less preten-
own dialects. They are, however, at
least no better qualified for painstakine
work of this sort than their American
colleagues, and, in addition, know al
most nothing of the Bible, as is to be
said of every Filipino, even the best
educated.
Under the circumstances, one is COM
PEELED to wonder just what sort of an
impression of the Bible will be obtained
by those of the Filipino masses who
read these translations. Occasionally
one hears a defender Of the friars prais-
ing their devotion in mastering the ma
tive dialects and their scholarship as
preachers and writer's in these tongues
AS matter of fact, the great majority
of friars, even after long residence in
the country, preached SO atrociously in
the dialect that the better educated ma
tives used always to be laughing about
their sermons behind their sleeves. II
is scarcely probable that our Protestant
missionaries in the few years in which
they have been at work among the Fill
pinos are capable of doing better. if

THE WASTE BASKET.
May BE So Fashioned as to Strike the
Eye as q Thing of
Beauty.

Like many another article for house
hold service whose essential Qualifca-
ton is usefulness, the waste paper
basket in this age has acquired the at
tribute of beauty as well. 1t is an orna-
mant, or rather, if care be taken in Sc
Letting the basket, it may legitimately
assume this character and for whatever
apartment desired just the right kind OF
paper receptacle may be found, says
the Brooklyn Eagle.
The fancy for box cabinets and trays
covered with tapestry in soft, old-tlmey
colorings and designs has brought about
the introduction of the waste paper
basket to match. This latest conner in
field is cylindrical in shape, of medium
height and covered with tapestry in the
prettiest of patterns. The cylinder IS
lined with MORE silk in soft green or
other tint to harmonic with the tapes
try and banded at the top and bottom
with tinsel braid in dull coloring. For
a library, den or general sitting room
where the rich and quiet tones prevail in
the furnishings, such basket serves the
double purpose of use and beauty. Brass
and copper utensils which in olden days
were the standbys of the housewife now
serve as waste paper baskets, and these
resurrected preserving kettles and
cooking pots, with their CLEAN and
luster, contribute most effective note
of brightness when placed in the proper
environment. Embossed or embossed
and lacquered leather, with brass
mounting, is employed for some exceed
ingly ornate baskets particularly de-
signed for study or library, while for the
billiard or smoking room there is the
polished wood receptacle, tub-shaped
and metal trimmed. The willow basket,
however, is the leader. but the twentieth
century production is so changed from
its commonplace, prosaic predecessor as
to be hardly recognizable.
Art, ingenuity and handicraft of a
high order are exemplified in the newest
baskets, both of foreign and home de-
signing, the color effects being delight
full and calculated to tremendously COM
bine with any style of furnishing. Set
Off with ribbon bows, nattily fashioned
basket of willow is pretty adjunct OF
the decoration of room. Tub and cyl
inder-shaped baskets are frequently
covered to match the walls, coverings
and hangings, silk, cretonne, chintz and
similar materials being employed, and
in the library or boudoir to harmonic
with the desk fittings such as blotter and
box for stationery. There is no limit to
the degree of ornateness that the waste
paper basket of to-day may not attain
and keep within the bounds approved
of by the rulers of the modes

why FIannels Shrink.

Flannels or any articles made OF
wool are entirely different in their ul-
innate fibers from linen or cotton OF
any vegetable fabric. The ibers are
spiral in form, and heat and cold and
rubbing make them draw up, while GER
tain strong alkalies seem to produce
the same effect. 1t is, therefore, neces-
sary that fannels should be washed In
water of even temperature, wrung dry
and rubbed as little as possible. Rub
when necessary with the hands and not
on a board Do not put f1annels out
doors to freeze in winter, but hang
them before the fire or in warm room
to dry as quickly as possible, and they
will not shrink.-Prairie Farmer

ProdisaI with Labor.

The reckless prodigality with which
in ancient Egypt the upper classes
squandered away the labor and lives OF
the people is perfectly startling. In this
respect, as the monuments yet remain
ing abundantly proves they stand alone
and without a rival We may form some
idea OF the almost incredible waste when
we hear that 1000 men were occupied
for three years in carrying a single
stone from Elephantine to Sails, that the
canal of the Red sea alone cost the lives
OF 10000 Egyptians. and that to build
one OF the pyramids required the labor
OF S60. 900 men for 20 years.

KEEP THE MOUTH CLEAN.
Necessary PrecautiOn to Prevent the
Contraction of Various Forms
of Disease.

Science, in its latest word, drives
home the pertinency of this advice.
Mouth Bacteria" is the subject OF re-
cent address by DR.. Samuel A. Hopkins,
of this CITY, who is dentist as well as doc
tor of medicine, and knows what he Is
talking about, says the New York Mail
and Express. AS result of years of
careful study and investigation he shows
that nearly every form of bacteria
finds it's way at some time into the hui
man mouth
One form of the disease, producing
organisms which the doctor particular
ly investigated, is called the micrococcus
lanceolatus. 1t was found in the oral
cavity of about 20 per cent. Of the healthy
mouths examined. They do not remain
healthy if this microbe is not gotten rid
Of 1t is held to be the excitant OF
croupous pneumonia. Lessened power
of resistance, caused by an attack of this
disease, makes the patient particularly
susceptible to other weakening diseases.
How are we to deal with the danger?
DR.. Hopkins leaves us in no uncertainty
on this point. His conclusion is pointed
and direct. With positiveness based on
the results of experiments and clinical
experience he asserts:
This disease might almost be eliminat-
ed from human ills were it possible to
keep the mouth in clean, healthy con-
dition.
The way to prevent not only croupous
pneumonia, but also many other dis
eases likely to arise from the lodgment
of bacteria in the mouth, is here clearly
pointed out. Comparatively few
physicians and nurses" says DR.. Hop
kins, "have learned to look upon clean
illness of the mouth as an important
factor in preventing complicating dis
cases." But the means of prevention
now outlined are so simple that to neg
lect them is sheer recklessness
