SLIDING DOWN A ROPE.
II Is Both Easy and Safe When Done
In Sailor Style.

II Is Both Easy and Safe When Done
In Sailor Style.
Sliding down rope is not so simple
as 1t seems Few know how TO do it
properly. If you try TO descend by
letting the rope slide through your
hands the friction will burn the palms
SO that you will have to let go after n
few feet. If you try to lower your
weight from one hand hold TO another
you are sure TO become tired and will
be forced to drop. You cannot slide
with the rope between your knees. for
the swaying OF your body will jerk the
rope out of the clutch of your knees,
and then you are likely to fall.
The easiest and safest method you
can employ Is that used by tiremen
and sailors. Standing upright, throw
out your right leg and give 1t a turn
around the rope. Next put the rope
in the crook of your right elbow and
clasp 1t tightly. not in your hand. but
In your arm.
In that way you can slide to safety
without the slightest trouble. The
rope does not touch any part of the
body that Is not protected by clothing.
and your speed can be regulated by
either strengthening or cramping your
leg Once learned this method Of slid
ing down a rope may prove in an
emergency the means of saving your
life or the lives of other PERSONS

Heart toHeart
Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
TO OBEY
By EDWIN A. NYE


A New York man on the evening be-
fore he was to be married broke his
engagement with the bride because she
refused to promise to obey him.
Fortunate she!
The word "obey" still remains in
some of the marriage rituals, although
it signifies little, the promise being un.
derstood to be given in a Pickwickian
sense.
Certainly there are not many intelli'
gent women who will give such
promise without mental reservation.
1t has been suggested that the serv-
Ice be amended to read love, cherish
and help" which would be much bet
ter. No bride would object to such
pledge.
And the husband?
Should he desire to make a slave of
his wife or nOnentity?
Is man superior to woman?
Fifty or a hundred years ago it might
have been so contended. Woman to-
day is considered the equal Of man.
If so, should the wife be expected to
look up to the husband as lord and
master and the husband look down
upon his wife as his inferior depend
ent?
Woman is not inferior.
AS a matter of fact, many woman
is a better manager than her husband.
And he should be glad to avail himself
Of her superior ability in the manage,
ment Of their affairs
Does he want to be a tyrant?
Does the husband want to humilate
his wife by posing as her superior, or.
what is more to the point, does he
wish to make hypocrite of her? Ger
tain it is that, while she may. under
stress, pay outward tribute to his as
serted mastership or soothe his vanity
by asking his permission to do or not
to do, she will do as she peases.
"When woman will she will. you
may depend ont. And when she won't
she won't, and there's an end ont"
Really this New York man was born
too late in the worlds history
Or in the wrong country.
IN Abyssinia he might be able to
find woman who would marry him
on her promise to obey. Even then he
might discover later on that his slave
wife had tricked him.
1t is high time the marriag e service
were edited to date. "Obey" should be
eliminated.
Marriage Is full partnership.

The Ropes Are Selected For Strength.
Flexiolity and Lishtness.

anu ItSntHcSS
The ropes used by Alpine climbers
is of special manufacture, combining
as far as possible the differing quail
ties of strength, fexibility and light
ness
Three qualities are in general use,
being made from sisal, Italian and
Manila hemps respectively, and occa-
sionally, when cost Is not a considera-
ton. Of silk. The latter. though very
light and strong, Is not SO durable as
the others. That which finds most ia
vor among British mountaineers is
known as Buckingham's Alpine rope
1t Is made of the best Manila hemp.
In the year 1864. Mr.. McLeish re-
calls, a committee of the Alpine club
made tests upon number Of ropes
suitabl for mountaineering. OF the
two that were approved one was made
Of Italian hemp and the other of Ma
Mia. They both had a breaking strair
Of two tons and sustained the weight
Of a twelve stone man after falling
from height Of ten feet
Nonmountaineers have sometimes
considered this insufficient, but it is
highly problematical whether the hu-
man anatomy could survive the sud
den compression of thin rope arising
from any greater fall.-Fry's Maya

GAY OLD FASHIONS.

Solomon Look Sad,

Dandies OF Past Centuries Would Make
Solomon Look Sad.
Compared with the gay apparel worn
by the handles of the past ages the
youths of our time in the gayest of
gay raiment make but a poor show.
The bishop OF Ely in the fourteenth
century had change Of raiment for
every day in the year. The Earl of
Northumberland boosted no less than
sixty cloth of gold suits at this time.
In the time of Chaucer the men wore
clothes as many colored as Joseph's
coat. so that while one leg would be
a blaze of crimson. the other would be
tricked out in green. blue or yellow
without any regard for harmony or
contrast
Even as late as the middle of the
eighteenth century. a dandy would
dress himself in vivid green coat a
waisteoat of scarlet, yellow breeches
and blue stockings.
And the gentleman of a few years
later wore, among other vagaries. a
coat of light green. with sleeves too
small for the arms and buttons too big
for the sleeves: q pair of fine Man
chester breeches: clocked silk stock
ings: club of hair behind larger than
the head which carried it: hat not
larger than a sixpence.
1t was common thing in the early
part of the eighteenth century for q
man OF fashion to spend several hours
daily in the hands of his valet Among
the many operations which took up
this time was the starching of the
beard and the proper pertaining of the
garments. the painting of the face and
amounting with oils, tinctures, essences
and pomatums.-London Standard.

BRITISH PLANNING
BIGGEST BATTLESH|P

London, Nov. 9.-An battleship
building records are to be beaten by
the British navy If the plans of con-
struction of the latest British dread
nought are carried out.
The new vessel is ordered to be
ready for launching five months after
the laying Of the first keel plates.
Somewhat of a sensation was caused
at Portsmouth when 1t was officially
announced Immediately after the
launching of the Iron Duke that the
keel plates of the super dreadnought
which is to follow were to be laid the
next Monday. In recent years 1t has
been the practice to allow two or three
months to intervene between the
launching of new ship and the lay
ing down of another.
1t is said that promises have been
made to the admiralty that the new
ship will be ready for launching within
the five months and she will be ready
for service within one year, thus beat
ing the record of the original dread
nought by two months.
1t is also claimed that the new shiT
will be as great a departure from pre-
vailing types as the dreadnought was
from it's predecessors. Provisions fol
oil fuel will be made in the new vesse
and she will be armored to resist all
attacks.
