How sponges are Caught.


Nassau Letter In New York Timcs.)
The sponging fleet is composed of small
schooners ranging from ten to forty tons,
or even smaller. Each schooner carries
from four to six men, and makes periodical
trips out to the sponge beds. Around Aba
co, Andres Islands and Exuma are some of
the principal fisheries there are hardly any
OF value in the immediate vicinity Of Nassau
The men do not dive for them, as sponge
fishers in the Mediterranean do, but use
long handled things like oyster tongs to fish
them out of the water. They do not "go it
blind" and probe in the mud like OYSTER
men; in this clear water they can see every
inch Of the bottom, and make up their mind
what sponges to take, and seize hold of each
one carefully, detach it from the rock to
which it chngs, and lift it into the boat.
They are not the nice, delicate and light
colored things we see in the shop win
dows.
When first taken from the water they
look and feel more like piece of raw liver
than anything else. They are slippery, shiny
ugly and smell bad. Their color gener-
ally is a sort Of brown, very much like the
color Of gulf weed only a little darker.
Most people are taught, in the days of their
freshness and innocence. that the sponge is
an animal, and when they visit Nassau they
expect perhaps to see sponges swimming
about the hnrhor, if, indeed they do not
surprise some Of the more athletic ones
climbing trees or making little excursions
over the hIl'. But they are disappointed
when they learn that the animal part dlsap-
pears entirely long before the sponge reach

TINES CHANGES
In vain men tell us time can alter
Old loves or make old memories falter,
That with the old year the old years life
closes.
The old dew still falls on the old. sweet flowers
The old sun reviyes the new-fled hours.
The old summer rears the newborn roses.
No time casts down, no time upraises
Such lines. such memories and such praises
As need no grace of sun or shower.
No saving screen from frost or thunder
To tend and house around and under
The imperishable and peerless flower.

Oats got damaged by too much rain.
Corn crop just saved before the frost
struck it. Hogs are selling for $3.25 per
100 pounds. This is very low figure
Wool took steady start two months ago
and the last sellers realized 30 cents per
pound for washed fleeces. Our dairymen
get about % cents for their butter; eggs
bring at present Is cents.
I give you the above, thinking it might
interest you to hear how things are in
this country. Hoping for your future
success, I subscribe myself,
