Hardly Courteous.

During the epidemic of influenza in
one of our cities a gentleman who was
suffering acutely from it went down
town one morning, and on the way met
at least dozen sympathetic friends.
At the twelfth encounter his patience
was exhausted.
"Have you the prevalent cold?" in
quired his twelfth assailant. burly,
good natured man.
Yes" said the invalid, cautiously; Il
have. Have you the prevalent sympa-
thy"
The retort was hardly courteous, and
the man himself felt ashamed of it after
ward, but at the moment it seemed to do
him good. 49, Youths Companion.

Difference in Sponges.

There are very many people who can
not 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
twenty-five cents. There are sponges
from Florida called sleeps wool, which,
in the opinion of many buyers, are as
good. although much cheaper, for all
practical purposes as the silk ones. They
are used mainly for washing carriages,
although they make good bathing
sponge. Reef sponges come from Cuba
and Nassau Turkey cups from around
the islands of the Archipelago. Sleeps
wool and reef sponges come in ten,
twenty and forty pound bales, and the
finest of the former, known as Rock
Island goods, sell wholesale at from $3.50
to $3.l5 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. Boston Globe.

The artists are always finding fault, in
every cline and country. with the work
of the local " hanging committee -"
Never was an artist wko did not claim,
if any OF his work was exhibited in an
exhibition, that the unfortunate hang
ing committee" had dwarfed his effort
by hanging it in the worst possible place.
At an exhibition in this city certain
artist had a work accepted and was re.
quested by the hanging committee to visit
the gallery and pick out his own place
lie did SO. When the exhibition was
opened a fellow artist who visited it
found fault with the place given one of
his own paintings. But will not speak
of my own work, he said to the party

there is IS picture over there. An

present the law provides for the purchase
Of 4, 500, 900 ounces each month, viii. il

June and July next What is important
for the people of the country TO knog Tor
= certainty Is, that they can rely upon the
present law being permanent and not sub
