IT BROKE HIM ALL UP.

Morris Rosenthal and his "pal,"
named Albert Massey, alias John
Smith, an ex,consict, were arrested in
New York, the other day, for "work-
iag the milk routes" that is, milking
people of waluables. They broke in
to the residence of the pastor Of the
church of St. Francis Xavier, where
they stole the church indicator, which
is used to tally the congregation.
This broke Massey all up, and he said
to Police Sergeant Massey: "If the
honesty of church people is doubted
70 that they must have an indicator to
point out what the collection should
amount to, what can you expect from
the likes Of men? I give up. am
guilty"

The salmon Of KamsehatLa.

Hundreds Of salman were in sight, alb
solutely touching one another, and as we
crossed the river VI horses nearly stepped
upon them. Their back fins were visible
as far as we could see the stream, and
aground and gasping in the shadows and
lying dead or dying upon the bnnks were
hundreds more. The odor from these
decaying fish was distinctly pcrceptible
at a distance Of a couple of hundred yards
or more. IL weight these salmon varied
from seven fifteen and even twenty
pounds. They were, for the most part,
foul fsh-blotchy, with patches Of red
and white, and the kind known by the
Russians as the Garbusn; hut others

Queer Burial Custom. I'm Europe.

The ceremonies for death and burial
are alike for men and women. In the
hour Of death the face is turned towards
Mecca or Jerusalem, and when the fipal
moment comes the women of the haren,,
in regular succession, send forth shriil
falsetto cries that rend the air and make
the nerves culver. This cry brings to
the home the women Of the village, who
Join in the lament for the dead. AL are
dressed in soiled, dark blue robes, and
have faces, hands, breasts and even the
walls or III. house daubed with indigo.
They unbraid their hair, and often plucA
it out and lash themselves into a frenzy.
Among the rich the clothing Of the dead
is strewn about the room. and the dishes
and ornaments broken with great noise.
Before the chill Of death has fallen upon
the inanimated form it must be carried
TO the tomb. The mourners follow the
bier, which is covered with a cashmere
shawl and carried on the shoulders Of
men. All are in soiled garments, with
coarse cloth on the head.
The night following the burial, the
men pass the hours with friends. smok-
ing and drinking coffee, calm and re.
signed to destiny; the women spend the
night in wailing and shrieking. On Ger.
tam days the mother bewails her dead
through the years, and on the festivals
Of the dead, families take their provis-
ions and shawls and spend the night at
the graves Of their relations. After the
death of a husband the widow must re.
main in the house a year, with all tho
covering Of the furniture wrong side out,
and the mirrors and ornaments covered.
She does not offer refreshments to visit
ors, and the pipes are without their
mouthpieces, and she must have, at
stated times, professional walters to per-
form in the house. The women beau.
tify themselves by tattooing the face
and breast; Coptic women have a cross
or star tattooed on the arm. Lips are
stained a dark purple, and finger nails

class put a black rim under the eye.

Facts Concerning sponges

The Mediterranean sponges are taken
In the Grecian archipelago by men in
diving suits, who go into much deeper
water than they do in Florida. Thers
most of them are taken with graphing
irons, in the same way as oysters.
They can be seen with the eye on the
bottom. clinging to the rocks. When

from six months to a year. A great
many are also taken in the Bahama
The market for that crop is Nassau, New
Providence. Key West is the market for
the Florida sponges, which are taken an
along the coast. Trieste and London are
the markets for the Mediterranean
sponges. Some are taken off the coast of
China.
"We had one once" said a dealer,
'that inclosed a large jug. 1t was a fine
sponge and had grown completely around
the jug. They are frequently full Of
shells. When a sponge is first taken out
Of the water it is as black as ink, and il
has to be treated by various processes un-
Ill it becomes the color commonly seen.

sold by the bale in this country, and by

"When sold by weight the dealers are
allowed to sand them about % per cent.
Prices range from $40 10 $3.50, the larger
sum for very fine toilet sponges. There

Scinece Of Baseball.

Levers of baseball may find it con-
vsnient to keep in mind this explana-
tns of the pitchers curve from Mr..
r. A. Proctor: If the ball is advanc-
ing without spin, or is spinning on an
axis lying along its course, the cushion
of compressed air carried forward by
it is conical-or rather cOnOidal-a
therefore resists the progress of the
ball equally on all sides. affecting only
the velocity. But in the case of the
curve, where the ball is spinning on an
axis square to its course. the air in
front of the advancing side of the spin
ming surface cannot ESCAPE so readily
as if there were no spin, and escapes
more readily on the other side. Hence
the resisting cushion of air is thrown
toward that side of the ball where the
spin is forward, and removed from the
other side, and the ball is detected
from the region Of greatest resistancs.
