Sponge Plantation.

For many years the sponge fishers of the
Mediterranean have carried on their avoca-
tions so recklessly that there is reason to
fear the supplies from the great sea which
Yields the best article will practically
cease unless means are adopted at once to
prevent the men from destroying-as they
do at present in countless numbers-the
Young animals while securing the full
grown victims. Meantime DR.. Brehm, the
illustrious naturalist, has suggested plan
for raising sponge artificially. Selecting a
few hundred specimens, he divided them
into seven thousand small pieces, fastened
separately in perforated cases, which were
then toWed out to the bay of SocolizZa.
He then attached the pieces to wooden
framework, which was then lowered In
shady spot to proper depth. In few
months the sponges had grown to the size
of good natural ones, exhibiting their dis
tinctive black color. The authorities re-
garded his scheme with favor, but the
fishers, with that ignorant prejudice which
has so often delayed sound reform in almost
every industry. attacked the plantation at
night, destroyed the frames and made OH
with two thousand sponges. BY substl-
tuting copper wire for woodwork. DR..
Brehm Immediately checkmated the teredo
whose ravages in woodwork are notorious;
and, by fastening the sponges to stones 1t
was observed that they speedily attached
themselves firmly.

THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN,

The rights OF woman, what are they?
The right to labor, love and pray,
The right to weep when others weep,
The right to wake when others sleep.
The right to dry the fallen tear,
The right to quell the rising foar;
The right to smooth the brow Of care,
And whisper comfort to despair.
The right to watch the parting breath,
To soothe and cheer the bed Of death,
The right when earthly hopes all fail,
To point to that within the veil.
The right the wAnderer TO reclaim,
And win the lost from paths OF shame
The right to comfort and to bless
The widow and the fatherless.
The right the little ones to guide.
In simple faith to Him who died
With earnest love and gentle praise,
To bless and cheer their youthful days.
The right to live for those we love,
The right 10 die that love to prove;
The right to brighten earthly homes.
With pleasant smiles and gentle tones

Palm OIL.

That portion of the West coast OF
Africa which lies sonth of the river
Volta furnishes the principal supplies
of palm oil. Nearly 1000, 900 cwt. of
this oil is annually exported to Great
Britain, Of the value of $500, 900, its
principal use being in the manufacture
Of soaps, Ferfumery, candles, and SIM
liar articles. Among the natives it Is
highly Talued, both for food (taking
the place of butter), for lighting and
cooking purposes, and for snointing the
head and body. The so-called oil,
hich is rather fatty substance, re-
sembling butter in appearance, is OBJ
tanned from the fruit of the severaI
species ef palms, but especially from
the one known botanically as ElaiS
gulReeRSis, which grows IN abundance
on the Western coast OF Africa, and
from which it takes its specific name.
So thickly DO these trees grow, and so
regular and rapid are their supplies of
fruit, that in some localities where the
regular collection of the produce is not
practised, the ground becomes covered
with thick deposit of the oily, fatty
matter produced by the ripe berries.
Deposits of palm oil, which may al
most be called ''mines" of vegetable
fat, exist In some parts of the gold
coast, and which, if not in themselves
worth working, at least practically IL
lustrate the natural wealth of the coun-
try in such productions, and indicate
its undeyeloped resources. These
''mines" would probably not repay the
cost Of exploration, as the palm Oil is
apt 10 become rancid and yalueless for
its general uses after long exposure.
though for such purposes as candle
making these deposits might still be
valuable.

Advice to Merchants.

The best time to keep still is when
every body is noisy, and the best time
to have level head is when other cram
lums appear to be topsy-turyy. A still
hunt frequently bags more game than
h 1rly-burly chase. From every
where the word comes, Business in
creases. goods scarce, prices advanc-
inG.' just now is the time TO listen
rather than join in the hue and CRY.
Panics rarely come when everybody
expects them. The best way is TO be
ready for them when they do come.
Cur theory is this. If you are n mer-
chant, and would do business safely.
dispose of your goods at small profits
for cash while others are holding for
an advance. Turn your capital often,
and always accept an offer that yields a
profit. Selhssness-the greed that gets
hold of some tradesmen, and sticks to
them like chronic disease-is almost
sure to work your rnin in the end. The
general business "boom" that we hear
everywhere, should put every prudent
man on his guard: Cor after the rio [
the silence which follows brings all of
US to our senses, when we are surpris-
cd, and ashamed of our own folly.
Therefore don't put on airs; 60 slow /:
keep still; listen and don't talk so
much: husband your resources; and
as Josh Billings wisely said; Young
man, the time TO play karefullest is
when yu've got handful of trumps.

Whilst ys. Euchre,

1t Is little singular that the in
creased interest in whist which has in
the past two or three years shown IL
self in this country has received such
slight notice. Silently, and without
any apparent cause, that game of cards
has assumed that place in popular es
tination which was recently held by
euehre, "seven up' and other kindred
games. Perhaps the change may be
best indicated by contrasting public
taste in this respect as it was six or
eight years ago with what one finds it
10 be at the present time. Then it was
the exception to find, say on railroad
train, four persons willing to play z
game Of cards who knew or had any
desire to know, how to play whist. The
game was locked upon as one which
demanded a degree of thought and at
tention which few cared to give, and
hence those whist players making 4
journey Of any length, whose eyesight
cid not permit them to pass the time in
reading. were forced to accommodate
themselves in the matter of card play
ing TO the feebler efforts of their chance
associates. At the present tirle, how
ever, under circumstances such as
those just mentioned, it is very COM
mon thing TO find that the game first
suggested is whist, and that out Of sew
eral groups OF players fully half CT
them viii be engaged In this diversion,
Possibly, q partial explanation OF this
revolution in sentiment is 70 be found
in the loss OF intereet that euchre has
sustained. That game, in the efforts
made by Is friends to uphold its popu-
larity, has undergone several transfer
nations, and the forced introduction of
tie ''ioker' or best bower" into the
scheme was desperate but unsuccess-
ful attempt to revive a tagging inter-
est. For time the efforts seemed
promising, but the triumph was short
oae, and now the public mind, as re-
CARDS euchre, Is too deeply rooted to
be shaken of by meretricious devices
Euchre had a real worth upon which
10 sustain itself, and is row so tho
roughly 4 doomed game that it is
doubtful if the generation Of ca-d-play-
ers will lie acquainted with it other
than By name.
