EX-sLAVE's REQUESTS.
MiddIetown Coored Woman Gives
 $6,ooo to Charity.

By the will of Catherine Simons, a colored woman of Middletown, who spent most of her life as a cook, sev- eral Boston institutions are to receive bequests from her estate of S6,000.
 The will leaves $500 to St. Monica s home for sick colored women and chil- dren of Boston, $500 to the home for aged colored women in Boston. $500 to St. Augustine's church in Boston. $500 to Woodlawn cemetery in Everett, Mass and $500 to the Church of the Holy Trinity, the largest Episcopal church in MiddletoWn.
 There are small bequests to relatives. The residue is left in trust with ex- Gov. Frank E. Weeks of Midd1etown, the income to be devoted to charitable purposes at his discretion.
 Miss Simons in her early days was a slave. She worked as a domestic for mony years in the he4nes of Middle town families. In Boston she was cared for during her last days by friends. She did much for the poor of her race. Distant relatives are making contest on the ground that she was of uusOund mind.

Life Line Used by Mountaine.rs.

The ropes used by Alpine climbers are of special manufacture, combin- Ing as Tar as possible the differing qualities of strength, nexlbility and l1ghtness. Three qualities are in gen eral use, being made from Sisal. Ital- ian and Manila hemps, respectively. and occasionally when cost is not to be considered, of silk. The latter. though very light and strong. is not so durable as the others. That which finds most favor among British noun . taineers is known as Buckingham's Alpine rope; it is made of the best Manila hemp.
 In the year 1864, Mir McLeish re- calls, committee of the Alpine club made tests upon a number of ropes suitable for mountaineering. Of the two that were approved one was made of Italian hemp and the other of Ma nila- They both had breaking strain of two tons and sustained the weight of F stone man after falling from q height of 10 feet. Non-mountain- eers have sometimes considered this insufficient, but it is highly problem atical whether the human anatomy could survive the sudden compression of thin rope arising from any great CT fall.

Banana Cloth.

It has been left to the Chinese to teach us how the tons of banana fiber thrown on the rubbish heap every year can be converted into banana cloth and sold at a most remunera- tive price.
 The process of manufacture is very simple. one-year old plants are se- lected and the stock Is unrolled and steamed over cauldrons of boiling Wa ter tlll soft. It is simple matter thne to remove the green outer skin by passing strips of the stalk through an instrument provided with a couple of blunt blades which act as scrapers.
 The fibre thus obtained is placed in cloth and pounded in order to drive ont excess moisture. and is next cleaned and twisted for weaving. Ba- mana cle!h is said to be emLnenux

AS the enterprise Is a brand new one high prices are to be expected, but they are sure to right themselves as the demand for this kind of cloth grows and the supply endeavors to keep pace with 1t.
