Where sponees Come Fro,n.

Sponges are found in all parts of tn
world. Three hundred different specie
are known to naturalists, some of which
are found even on our own coasts. TIL
number of these which have a Commercial
value is, however, limited. The sponges O
Syria and the Archipelago are the best
and are used for the toilet and for delicat,
operations in art and industry. The spe
cies found in the Bahama islands are O
very inferior quality, but their moderate
price has led to their extensive use. TIL.
Tunis sponge, which is extremely durable
is also very useful, as it is adapted for yer,
rough purposes. These practically com
prise the useful sponges, though available
species are also found ON the coasts O

THE RAIN.

We knew it would rain, for all the morn
A spirit on slender robes of mist
Was lowering its golden buckets down
Into the vapory amethyst
or marshes and swamps and dismal fens,
Scooping the dew that lay in the flowers,
Dipping the jewels out of the sea,
To sprinkle them over the land in showers.
We knew it would rain, for the poplarf
showed
The white of their leaves, the amber grain
Shrunk in the wind, and the lightning now
Is tangled in the tremulous skeins of rain!

Poison of the Scorpion.

1t is said to be remarkable fact that the
poison of the scorpion gradually loses its
effect upon human being, and that man
suffers less and less each time he is stung.
One bold philosopher, it is related, had the
courage to follow out this principle to the
farthest extent, and made scorpions sting
him repeatedly until he had become poison
proof and suffered but little Inconvenience

Trying to Prove That High Prices Are a
blessing i'm Disguise.
One has only to admit the accuracy
of current republican claims to be con-
WINGED that the Mckinley act should be
classified not with laws but with mir
acleS.
1t vas passed originally ito sustain
prices" Fat was fried out of manufac-
turers on this theory, Maj. Mckinley
gave all his energies in one campaign
to the task of proving that high prices
are blessing somewhat disguised, and
even President Harrison ventured the
assertion that "a cheap coat made a
cheap man"
Now Senator Aldrich labors earnest
ly to prove that the act did not increase
prices. from which we assume that the
..cheap coat, cheap-man" idea has been
RELOCATED to the party garrett
Again the bill was designed Ito re-
duce im ports and there was much ado
about "home markets for home manu-
facturers," America for Americans"
and other expressions of patriotism
thought to be very effective.
Now the Maine convention that re-
nominated MIR. Reed pops up with the
lubilant assertion that ''our imports
have increased to a point never before
reached"
That miraculous is none too strong
an adjective for the Mckinley act we
think no longer admits of doubt.-N.

compensation in carrying great
weight of flesh. He that is too fat
even for comfort can reflect that he is
able to withstand both heat and cold
better than if he was like CaSSiuS, lean
and unsavo:y. These people take cold
easily. They suffer in warm weather

then by getting chilled at night they

The republican claim that quite as

ing the recent session of congress as
was INDUCED in by the much criticised
Fifty-frst congress has been met by
certain democratic statements and
comparisons. Mr.. Holman. chairman
of the house committee on appropria-
tions, shows that the amount appropri-
ated at the late session was actually
less by more than S33, 500, 900 than the
appropriations of the preceding ses-
sion, when no river and harbor bill
was passed. Leaving out the river and
harbor appropriation, the comparison
shows over SD. go, 900 in favor of the
present congress. But of the appro-
priations made this year nearly $50
900. coo was rendered unavoidable by
legislation of the Fifty-first congress
for continuing OUTLAWS, and if that
could have been eliminated the total
for the first session of the present con-
gress would have been less by over

sion of the previous congress and less
