THE MARRIAGE LOTTERY.
Significance ofthe Fnct That Eve Was Made
of Admins Rib.

Significance ofthe Fact That Eve Was Made
of Admins Rib.
New York Scottish-Americanl
In choosing a partner for life, Midland
people say, as preventive against unhappy
marriages, "Better wed over the mixen than
over the moor" which is equivalent to say
ing, marry one whom you have known for
life. Ovid's advice is, ''If you wish to
marry suitably, marry your equal" which
our mother-tongue has pharaphrased thus
TAX cat O. your ain kind, and it'll no
scarf ye." One thing bear in mind. "a
hairy man is happy man, but hairy wife
is a witch.
Briefly, you can not do better than listen
to Fuller, "Choose the daughter of a good
mother" But, whatever be your choice
always remember that woman was made out
Of rib from the side of Adam-not out of
his head to top him--not out OF his feet to be
trampled under him-but out of his side to
be equal to him, under his arm TO be pro-
tected, and near his heart to be loved. And
the ladies on their part will recollect that
To change the name and not the letter,
Is to change for the worse and not for the
better.

GOOD SPONGES CONE HIGH.
Many People Cannot Tell Turkey Cup From

Many People Cannot Tell n Turkey Cup From
Common Refer.
Good Sponges have become SO expensive
that they are luxury to be enjoyed only by
those well-to-dO. OF course you can buy a
reef sponge cheap, a small one costing only
few cents, but if you want Turkey cup
sponge large enough for bathing purposes
you will have to pay 81 or s.. "Sponges
come in all sizes" says Charles Wood, q
buyer, in the Boston Globe. 'The largest
one ever saw measured 20 inches across.
These very large SpOnges are apt not to be
perfect, and they do not bring 80 good prices
as smaller and more perfect ones. The larg-
est Of the more perfect kind measures about
IA inches across the top and 9 inches
through, such q sponge being worth about
$40. It is too large for bathing purposes, and
too expensive to be used in washing car
riages, and is kept by dealers for q chance
customer.
"a good size bathing sponge is about
inches across the top and 3 through, and is
worth SS The expensive sponges are
bought principally by physicians and den-
fists, and are used much in administering
ether. There are very many people who
cannot tell the difference between turkey
cups and common reef sponges, and they
are astounded at the difference in price.
They are asked So for what they think they
can get just as good for % cents. There is
sponge from Florida called sleeps wool,
which, in the opinion of many buyers, is as
good for all practical purposes as the silk
sponge and much cheaper. They are used
mainly for washing carriages, although
they make good bathing sponge.
Reef sponges come from Cuba and Mas
sau, turkey cups from around islands of the
archipelago. Sleeps wool and reef sponges
come in 10, 20 and 40 pound bales. and the
finest of the former, known as Rock island
goods, sell wholesale at from 81 80 to So 15
per pound. The turkey cups are sorted at
London and Paris into three qualities and
sent to us in bags. They are sold by the
piece"

GOOD TASTE AN ECONOMIST.

Associated With Kindness it EIeVates the
Lowliest Lot.
New York Scottish-AmerIcan.1
Good taste is a true economist. It NAV
be practic al on small means, and sweeten
the lot of labor as well as OF ease. 1t is all
the more enjoyed, indeed, when associated
with industry and the performance of duty.
Even the lot of poverty is elevated by taste.
1t exhibits itself in the economies of the
household; it gives brightness and grace to
the humblest dwelling; it produces refine
ment, it engenders good will, and creates an
atmosphere of cheerfulness. Thus good
taste, associated with kindliness, sympathy
and intelligence, may elevate and adorn
even the loWliest lot
