ing companies met at Hotel Heselton last

ing logs on these rivers. There were pr 8
ent, Elias Milliken, M. g. Shaw, j. S.

G. Totman. Messrs. Milliken and CLARK
are to have charge of the drive. Austin
Eames takes charge of the Dead River
drive as heretofore. Omar Clark goes tc
Moosehead to-day.

the river is not necessarily dependen'
upon the amount of snow In the woods
and the drive on the Kennebec this veal

Our Athletics.


THE SKoWHEGAN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
EXHIBITION.
Cohurn Hall was well filed last Friday
evening on the occasion of the second eX-
hibition of our Athletic Club.
As the curtain rises the WAND Drill
class file ON to the stage and after march
ing to position 20 through a very inter
estiug series of attitudes and movements
without sign or order save the music
of the orchestra
The Horizontal Bar next claimed atten-
ton, and for twenty minutes the audi
ence saw Il performance which can hard
ly be excelled by professionals, and the
way the 1.-THE young fellows fly around
the bar shows how faithful must have
been the work of both teacher and pupils
to attain such skill.
In the Vaulting which followed LumS-
den astonished everybody and broke ;he
record of the club by making a clean
vault over the bar at #. in.
The Special Club Swing by Professor
Hurd was the most pleasing and graceful
exhibition of club handling ever seen
here, and showed him to be a genuine
master of the art.
The Tumbling was fine and far ahead
of last years performance in that line, and
the speciaties given by the three midget
acrobats were especially pleasing.
The High Kicking and Parallel Bars
came in for their share of applause, and
were fine exhibitions of that class.
The Dumb Bell and Indian Club drills,
where the class for 20 or % minutes,
without pause, moves in perfect unison
and time, guided only by the music of the
orchestra, made most pleasing scene.
The Sparring and High Jumping had to
be omitted for want of time.
After the entertainment sixty-ive
couple proceeded to enjoy the ball until a
late hour.
The Association was very fortunate in
securing the service Of Mr.. Hurd, who
combined the qualities of Il perfect gen
tleman and fine athlete with the ability to
instruct in way not often found.
The boys have reason to thank our citi-
zens for their generous appreciation of
their efforts. The net proceeds were 500.

verdict of not guilty. There can be no
bigany or attempt at bigamy," he said,

A Present That Wasn't Made

Tail of Roberto Now Roberto was the
name of cat that lived in the house; and
the young man could not possibly have
his cats tail for a present, because it was
bob tailed. 1t was fairly good joke;
but it happened that member OF the
family, who wasn't very good at orthog
raphy, took this entry for the name of a
book, and, having partIality for the
young man, started off on a tour through
the book stores in search OF it. "Have
you The Tale of Roberto?' " she asked

STORY CT THE SPONGE.


'>h'Ah'A'h ~ A''''-N
SpougeS were ~ one time living All
mails. Although they have IL" nerves,
no heart, no lungs, no month and no
stomach, yet they are placed by the
naturalists in the animal king0n', says
an exchange Living sponges cnnsist at a
jelly like mass supported by framework
Of horny fibres calico spiculcs. T
'JelIey body" covers all paris % th"
framework and decays mc,tia'el, after
the death of the sponge It is This
framework, or skeleton, with which We
are so familiar. During the life Of the
beautiful appearance, almost all the
colors OF the rainbow dazzling the eyes
with their brilliancy.
During life the sponge is constantly
drawing water through its pores, and
countless streams are continually flowing
through the sponge, bringing in the
particles of food, and all the air needed
to support it. There is another element
il this wonderful circulation that should
not be overlooked. Located in different
parts of these pores are cup shaped hol
lows filled with threadlike particles or
''cilia," which are continually in mo-
ton, and assist in keeping water in
circulation.
Everything that lives must breathe and
eat. And it is one of the curiosities OF
nature that all animal without a month
or stomach can eat and digest its food.
The circulation of the water though til e
pores supplies oxygen for breathing at
the same time that it brings little parti-
cles of food into contact with different
portions of the sponge. When the food
+ ,uches any part of the body, the soft,
| jelly-like flesh sinks in so as to form a
| cup, while the surrounding parts CREEP
out over the morsel of food until 1t if
entirely covered. Here it is held until
the digestible PORTIONS are absorbed, whe'
| the flesh assumes its original position,
and any shell or other refuse that remains
from the meal is carried away by the
| currents of water.
