or the other, visiting cards usually fur
nish us with an agreeable sensation
when we survey them on our hall tables
on our return home.
There is a great deal moro character
In visiting card than most people
would at first be willing to believe, and
from it's shape, appearance, and from
the manner in which the nanoe Is In
scribed thereon, the recipient is often
able to determine the social status, tho
breeding-and the breed as well-of its
owner.
Thus the slightest exaggeration or
departure from the strictest simplicity,
either as regards the size, texture or

cards nowadays should be quite small
and narrow, the name printed in script
without any flourish or ornementaticn,
and the card perfectly plain white,
without any suspicion Of glaze or an
alogous kind Of fancy work. The Mr..

Did you ever carefully examine ono
of the so called glass spongesY The
most delicate and beautiful Of these
perhaps is the Venus flower basket,
which is found only in the deep sea near
the Philippine islands. 1t looks for al
the world Hike spun glass woven into an
intricate pattern, and is so delicate and
exquisite that one can hardly believe it
to be nothing but the skeleton Of a
sponge This particular species of sponge
is composed of bands of spicules running
lengthwise from end to end. with cross
bands intersecting at right angles. Be
fore they are thoroughly skeletonized
tlrfcorners Of the squares formed by the
crossbands nre filed with brown jelly
like substance, which reduces thespaces
to little tubelike holes.
The edges Of these little holes project
slightly above the general surface Of the
sponge and give it the appearance Of
being dotted with miniature volcanic
craters. The ridges, instead Of having
their surfaces made up Of continuous
CLASSY skeleton. have their soft sub
stances supported by whole,multitudes
of delicate microscopic, six rayed spic-
ules. In some instances these fragile
spicules seem TO be supported, OF at
least held in place. by little hooked stars
and rosettes. In its natural state the
whole Of the Venus flower basket is
covered with fine hairs, the mouth being
kept closed by a net Of fine glasslilse
needles.
Captain Simmons men found the fiow-
er basket fastened to a rock by handle
carefully attached to the basket in -four
different places, and the divers Of the
Exile brought up one specimen that
rested on the top OF a marble pedestal
which at some time had been lost in the
harbor at Najaja.-St. Louis Republic
