The Umbrella For Filtration.

There is one particular in which the
umbrella, as the girls have all learned,
is far superior for Irritation purposes to
the handkerchief. or the glove or the
fan. or any other article that lady US
ually carries in her hand. If she sees
the dude coming with look of want
ing to fiirt in his eye, and she happens
to be with her mamma so that that cor
rect body cannot see the dude, who al
ways passes, if he is skillful in the art,
next to the girl and not next to the cor
rect mamma. Then, with the umbrel-
la as shield, the girl casts a quick
glance at the young dude, of coquetry
and triumph mingled. She passes on
and brings the umbrella to plumb
line and looks innOcently at her correct
mamma by her side and asks demurely:
What were you saying, mamma,
dear?" The umbrella in the hands of
such a girl is a bonanza. San Francis

Variety Everywhere.

1t is mistake to believe that only
well-drcssed people are vain; many a
sloven is as proud of his appearance as
a faultlessly attired exquisite. The
puritan gloricd as much in ugliness of
garment as the cavalier in his costly at
tire, the sans-culotte in his disgusting
rags as the aristocrat in his lace ruffies
and perfumed linen. And how we
gradually associate animate with inan-
innate things! Fancy Mr.. Pickwick
without spectacles, the noble ''Injun"
without war paint and dirty blanket,
John Chinaman sans pigtail, and Cleo
patra in an ulster! And variety of
incougruities. We confess to cosmo-
polilanism; let everyone enjoy and ad-
here to their own ideas of dress. One
thing we are certain of, that in our
country the is more taste exercised
and our attire is more appropriate and
sensible than anywhere else. and the
big boquets of wild flowers now worn
by pretty girls are ''just too sweet for
anything. -Riiadelphia Times.

Under the snow the fleet PAGERS glide,
Men with flushed faces and mates by their

Urging their racers to marvellous speed,
Passing each other with gallopinY steed;
There are the r.htIs that winter days go
In swift lne of beauty over the snow.
Over the snow the tired fuotmen go.
Some from their shops are walking home

Over u town the farmer will drive,
Beating his fingers to keep them alive.
Over the SNOW the hungry will 60,

To let go their tOOthold and quarrel with

Under the snow where the flowers yearly go, .
Nothing can hinder-the world is made SO!
The rarest Gt gardens in sunshine one day,
is sure to find winter in passing away.
Under the snow do our loved sleep as one,
Resting and silent with life's duty done.
Under the snow We win soon all be placed,
Folded oGr hands, and form hcavenward

In joy or in sorrow with friends left alive.

And the day of our summons no creature can

Living and loving and spending life SO,

Cincinnati Enquirer.


One Of the sights of the Florida reef
is the sponger. He is generally a
conch fIom Conchtovn, Key West,
devotes his entire time TO the business
of fishing up repulsiye objects called
spnnges. This is done chiefly with
hooks or spears, the boat drifting
along until a 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 as it
comes 10 the surface like a great beef's
liver, and the odor is spongy-no other
word describes it, When load of
these aromatic flowers of the ocean is
secured, they are taken down to Key
West, or may be cured { n 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 Gov
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, IS 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 a sponge locality TO
buy sponges for a firm who were GO
ing t. manufacture 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 a valuable one. Some
think it an insect. others a plant. 1t
is, however, a simple animal, com
posed Of many cells, that are arranged
in three layers, the middle one secret
ing the lime of slick, as the case may
be, that goes to form the skeleton OF
the animal.
