IMP0HrANT INDUSTRY.

According to Mr.. Sandwith's. report
on the trade of Tunis for the last year,
the spongefshery continues to be an
important branch of industry in the
regency, from Zarzis in the extreme
south as far north as Sfax. The Vice
Consul at the latter states that 400
Greeks, 500 Sicilians, and 1,4OO Tunis-
ians are engaged in the fisheries; one
London and three Paris firms have at
Sfax agents who buy up the whole pro-
duct. The diving apparatus called the
scaphandre used to be extensively en-
ployed by the fishermen, but it has been
superseded by an instrument called the
gangara, a species of dredger resem-
bling that in use in the oyster fishery.
Its employment, however, is forbidden
during the months of March, April, and
May, when the sponge's growth is most
active. The harpoon is also much in
use by the fishermen. The total export
of sponges from Tunis in 1887, accord
ing to the customs returned, was G34,
094, against e35,9 in 1886. The funny
fishery is monopoly Of the State, and
the presant lease was made for term
of fifty years shortly before the French
occupation in 1881. The fish enter the
Mediterranean in the spring, and one
body of them strikes the coast of Cape
Bon, at the northern extremity of Tunis.
Here the fish are interrupted by nets
and are harpooned by boatmen stationed
round the nets for that purpose and
dragged into the boats, as many as 600
being sometimes thus captured in sim
gle haul. They are then cut up and
preserved in olive oil, and packed in
tins of various sizes, and at once SOL
dered up. About three-fourths Of the
whole are thus treated, and find ready
sale in Italy; of the rest, what cannot
be sold and eaten fresh is sailed, and is
mostly sent to Malta and Sicily, sailed
funny fish fetching one-half the price of
that preserved in oil. The average an
nual value of this fishery is estimated at
100000, which does not figure in the
customs returns, as funny pays no duty.
The fishing season opens about May 20
and continues till near the end of June,
between two hundred and three hun
dred men being engaged in the work.
Even the octopus is not neglected in
Tunis as an article of food, $4,000 worth
having been exported last year to
Greece, being almost the only Tunisian
product which finds it's way to that
country. -Levn71t Herald.

THE SOCIOLOGY AND THE FLOWER.
sY WILLIAM Wallace COOK.

BY WHI1AM WALLACE COOK,
A schoo1boy passed by the meadow once,
A meadow with streams and flowers
And the look in his eyes was a far-off look,
And the book in his hand was learned book
Indices Of budding powers.
The schcolboy halted beside the mead
And reflected long did he,
With his far-away eyes on a pansy blow,
With his wonderful book on the sward below,
With his mind adrift at Sea-
Then he knelt and plucked the blossom fair
And hold it long to his heart
ssll look for the life, /" was his curious cry,
For surely can find the life if try"
And he plucked the flower apart
Not in the calyx the life was found,
Nor yet in petals of gold;
And he plucked and plucked in futile essay
Till the poor little pansy was plucked away
With it's secret all untold
The sohoolboy stood in the fragrant mead,
Tho pansy stem in his hand,
And wondering look came over his face
As he looked at the pansy, devoid of grace
Then he said IL understand
Tho secrets Of life pansy's are
Ere the life itself has fed;
But who that seeks peace would go out into
strife?
And who that would garner the secrets of life
Would CLEAN among fields of dead?'
