AN kunseemly family quarrel is re-
ported to exist in the British royal
family. Neither the Prince OF Wales
nor the Duke of Edinburgh congratulate
ed Prince Henry of Baltenburgh or
Princess Beatrice on their engagement
and they are said to be disguised at the
match. The Queen has refused to go
TO Sandringham because the Prince of
Wales insisted on having dancing. To
this she was opposed on account of The
Duke Of AIbany's death. Prince Beat
rice also refused to go, but for another
reason-she was in the sulks over the
neg ect of Prince Henry, who was not
invited, and would not have gone sven
if her mother had given her permission.

Striking Proofs

OF the efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
have been afforded and published in the shape of
testimonials from physicians and private indiv..
duals, who have tested its value in cases of
rheumatism. We are all aware of the obstinate
character of this complaint, and some of us have
witnessed its fatal termination when it attacked
the heart To resist and foil its preliminary attacks
in the Joints or muscles after a whiting it's ap-
proach may not unreasoRably be inferred In that
case a wineglassful of Hostettef's Stomach Bit
tars now and then will be found q useful preven-
tive measure, Persons exposed to rough weather
will find in the Bitters reliable safeguard. The
medicine is also a reliable means OF averting
malarial ailments and of overcoming dyspepsia,
costiveness, nervousness and inactivity of the
kidneys and bladder. Try its effect and satisfy
yourself.

SDonges.
Cincinnati ENQUIRER

One of the sights of the Florida reef
is the sponger. He is generally
conch from Conchtovn, Key West,
devotes his entire time to the business
OF fishing up repulsive objects called
sponges. This is done chiefly with
hooks or spears, the boat drifting
along until sponge is sighted. when
it is hooked Or speared, and jerked
from its stronghold upon the bottom.
When the water is too deep for the
hooking process, the sponger goes
overheard and dives to the sponge, by
main force tearing it from the bottom
The sponges taken from this section
are not the delicate toilet sponges, be-
ing different grade. and only used
for coarse work. They grow TO
large size, some measuring three feet
across and two high, and when active
present anything but an attractive
appearance.
A good healthy sponge looks IS it
comes to the surface like great beef's
liver, and the odor is spongy-no other
word describes it. When a load OF
these aromatic flowers of the ocean is
secured, they are taken down to Key
West, or may be cured IN some of
the keys. This consists of allowing
them to remain IN the sun until thor
oughly decayed, and then treating
| them to repeated rinsings, until the
animal matter is entirely removed.
They are then placed in the sun to
bleach, and in this state are seen COW
ering the fences in Conchtown. Later
| they are subjected to several processes
one of which in some cases is sanding.
| This is more common in the toilet
sponge from the Mediterranean.
Shake one and you will find that quite
deposit of fine sand escapes. This
was not eaten or absorbed by the
sponge when alive, rs you might sup
pose, but is a process by which the
weight of the sponge is increased, and
as they sell by the pound, the object is
evident.
The tricks that the guileless sponge
dealer is not up to are not worth
chronicling. Some time ago young
man was sent to q sponge locality to
buy sponges for a firm who were go
ing to manufacture q new article that
required large quantities, and it was
foand the young man paid as much
for water and coral rock as he did for
sponge
Better sponges are found in the
Bahamas than on the Florida reef,
and The business, though in the hands
of few, is valuable one. Some
think it an insect, others plant. 1t
is, however, a simple animal, COM
posed of many cells, that are arranged
in three LAYERS the middle one secret
lug the lime of slick, as the case may
be, that goes to form the skeleton of
the animal.

TIE House. COMMITTEE on Rivers
and darbors has nearly completed it's
omnibus bill. Thus far the bill calls
for ST.. 1913, 200. A final decision con
ceraiag Galveston Harbor has not
yet been reached. The an proposed
by Capt. Eads for the improvement
of that harbor would require an ex-
penditure OF $4,000, 600. When the
bill goes to the Senate it will probably
demand an appropriation of about
$12, 00O,00 and the Senate will add
81, 500, 600 or $4,000 so that the
final total will neither greatly exceed
nor fall far below the sum given last
year, which was $13 900 200.
