SPONGES.
How They Are Gathered and Prepared
 for Market.

How They Are Gathered and Prepared
 for Market.
 That which constitutes the living portion of the sponge is removed in preparing the animal for market. The animal proper covers the framework, and is of jeliy-ike appearance, like that of other low forms of animal life. Various openings and channels allow the passage of water through all parts of the mass, and the gelatinous portion has microscopic hairs which are capable of rapid motion, and by their means water is drawn into, and forced out of, the sponge. When divided the living sponge seems to suffer no inconvenience, but each part sets up on it's own account, living on as if nothing had happened, and it becomes two sponges.
 "The best sponge of commerce." said 8 dealer, speaking to a reporter of the New York Mail, lis found in the Mediterranean, and is known as Turkey or Smyrna sponge. This is obtained by divers. Bahama or West India sponge is coarser and is sold at much less price. Much sponge is gathered of the coast of southern Florida"
 "How are they gathered2n
 "Sponges, when seen on the bottom at tached to the rock, look like a big black bunch. They are pulled off their natural beds by forked hooks which are run down under the sponge, which is formed like the head of cabbage, and the roots pulled from the rocks. When brought to the surface it is mass of soft, glutinous stuff which, to the touch, feels like soap or thick jelly. When & small boatload is obtained they are taken to the shore, where crawl is built in which they are ptaced to die, so that the jelly substance will readily separate from the firm fibre of the sponge. These crawls are built by sticking pieces of brush into the sand out of the water large enough to con- tain the catch. It takes from five to six days for the insect to die, when the sponges are beaten with small sticks, and the black glutinous substance falls off, leaving the sponge, after thorough washing, ready for market"

a Paris house may be cited as an excellent example of good spring gown for ceremoni- ous occasions, such as weddings, morning concerts and the like. The folds of cloth are usual fEllness at the back. At the left side there is panel of white cloth, richly em- broidered in fine gold of light tone of col or. Over this the adjacent fold of fawn- colored cloth falls in serrated, leaf like points,
 having been pinked out in the fashion now SO prevalent. On the bodice similar gold embroidered white cloth is carried up from the left side, where it meets the skirt panel
 to the right shoulder. Across it from the left shoulder is brought folded drapery of the fawn cloth, pinked out at either edge and caught in very narrow at the right side of the waist under the arm. From this point the folds spread out more widely, forming a short panier, the ends of which, meeting the fullness at the back of the skirt, form part of the large sash-like ends in which it terminates. Striped silk is used in this way to brighten up plain cloth dresses. This is an excellent plan, for the silk can be renewed without difficulty, and at present prices costs less than cloth. Ottoman silks are costly, but the inexpensive striped ones in soft silk or surah are by no means so. The balsyeuse on the dress just described is made of fawn- striped silk pinked out at the edges.
 Many of the French fashion journals in- sist on the necessity of having 8 hat or bon Ace IO 4aateA cdCA WaAAlAB CoShuAo1 DQb there are means of cleverly avoiding such g palpable extravaganza as this. English mil liners understand how to make hat or bon net of such materials as will permit of it's being worn with three or four different gowns. For instance green dress seems to demand a green hat, while 8 brown dress cries out for one of it's own tint. A brown hat with mingled green and brown feathers, and a garland of lovely little ivy leaves in green and brown, may we'll be worn with both costumes, and look as though it had been devised as the special accompaniment of either. Some of the prettiest new bon nets have the front filled ln with what used to be called ''cap" of soft lisse, arranged in such miniature folds as to give the effect of marabout feathers, than which nothing is more becoming. Crinkled brims are again in vogue, and look we'll with the fringes of hair which we are constantly being told are Etgo- ing out" They show no signs of deserting the fair foreheads of English girls, though some of the latter turn up portion of their fringe in the very middle, style that suits few faces very unmistakably.
 Coats short and smart and invariably tight fitting at the back. They are often made with waistcoat, either wholly separate or coming from the side seams under the arms, in which cass it is in one with the coat. The fronts do not fit closely as a rule, but sufficiently define the figures to be free of any accusation of clumsiness. On the whole the spring fashions are smart and be- coming, while the advocates of rational dress can find little fault with them, if only the skirts are kept well off the ground and the waists not unduly frightened or squeezed in.

Outward Tokens.

Suits to clothe, suits to protect, suits to embellish. If suit be all these it is token of the wearer's neatness and sense or of those who. select for him. Some new styles in eassimeres and worsteds, in long and short trouser patterns, are worthy of immediate Inspection. "Our Boys' take to them at once. Prices $2.50 to $15.
 For larger boys dress there is remarkable variety and novelty. Some quiet styles of cheviots and worsteds are quickly tried on and carried away. We notice that most boys like to wear the new suit and to. take the old one in bundle. We are willing to accommodate.
 Large boys suits in both sacks and frocks. Some suits of the miniature mans coat style. Very popular and coming to be the standard boys suit. In cutaway blouses are the hand somest suits produced for short -trowser boys. Rich browns and blues, bright cassimeres, and the 'Fpicture" suits in cheviot mixtures.

THE PRRSEDENT,s LATEST.

The President has rarely appeared to less advantage than in his letter written in re- sponse to the resolutions adopted by Metho- dist conference condemning the recent order which forbids the use of the native languages in Indian schools. The order forbids the use of the Indian languages in any school sup ported wholly or in part by the government. It forbids the use of the Indian language in any missionary school not supported or as- sisted by the government, except for oral in structions in religion and morals "where it is deemed to be an auxiliary to the English lan- guage in conveying such instruetion," and only native Indian teachers will be permitted to teach otherwise in any Indian language, and they only in schools not assisted by the government and at remote places where.there are no government or contract schools, and where schools of this latter character are es- tablished, teaching of any kind in the Indian young men may be trained in theological schools in the Indian language at exclusively missionary schools, but they must be en- ployed as preachers only, except that some of them may teach in remote places where Eng fish schools are inaccessible.
 The Presidents defense of this order is an elaborate and plausible one. The Worcester Spy calls his letter ''painful" one and says of the matter with which it deals: If the missionaries will not help the Indians in the way the President and the commissioners think best, they shall not help them at all. It is unreasonable to contend that the Presi- dent and the Indian commissioners know better what is best for the Indians than the missionaries do who spend their lives in teaching them, and if those functionaries did know best, it would be an unwarrantable in tsrference with personal rights and liberty of private judgment to dictate the methods which benevolent and religious societies shall use in doing their work with the funds con- tributed by charitable persons.
 A great many people think that the Presi- dent and his assistant have not done well in this matter. There dees not seem to be any ground for interfering with the work of the missionary societies

The company for three years has fought against this law within the State by such devices ss enjoining every county treasurer. This year they have appealed to the Federal courts and finally secured an injunction from Judge Brewer of the United States Circuit court at St. Louis requiring the governor of Iowa and his council to appear before the court in St. Louis and show cause why they should not be per petually enjoined from assessing the com pany's property for taxation. The governor and council have decided to ignore the order of the Federal court and levy the tax and the question now is what the judge will do about
