A Yankee woman's schome.

Every busy woman these warm days
finds that toward evening she has '.too
much foot in her shoes" The wise of
course buy larger shoes in summer than
in winter to comfortably provide for The
inevitable expansion the feet undergo
during the dog days. Laced boots are
stylish, but are looked at askance by
girls and women who belong to the work
aday world, for it requires more time to
lace boot than to button one. The laced
shoe is far more comfortablei An summer
than any other, and the ease At allows the
foot fully compensates for the extra time
it takes in lacing 1t up. A Yankee wom-
an who is ''doing" New York laces her
shoes up loosely in the morning, tying
the laces in double bowknot. In the
evening the laces are taut and her shoe
fits snugly, but comfortably. The Yam
kee woman's scheme is worth trying
There is nothing destroys the pain caused
by tight shoe that has to be kept on
except the toothache. The greater mis-
cry includes and nullifies the less.-New

Cape NAV Bathing Suit.


The combination was the work of a
genius. The bodice was of light blue
serge. with complete waistcoat of
white linen duck. The deep V cut at the
neck was filled with white celluloid, and
there was a collar and also cuffs to
match. The tie was of loose black silk.
The skirt was of the same material az
the waist. To complete the picture, the
stockings were white, as were the sandals.
Her hair was blond and short and was
blown hither and thither by the breezes.
Her venturesome spirit was embodied in
the outfit. She did not tempt the bound
ing pillows to infold the outline in 9
watery embrace, but wandered about
only for exhibition purposes. s.-Philadel-

it is stated, Is a scientific and compre-
hensive scheme of irrigation. Every
waste of water should be avoided and
all the water bodies made tributary to
durable reservoirs for regulated distri-
button. The commission recommends
an amendment to the federal constitu-
tion prohibiting polygamy, and en-
powering congress to prescribe the con-
ditions of marriage and divorce, and
also the cession of unappropriated and

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live het-
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs Of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties Of a perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid
news, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in 5Oc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose anne is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs.
and being well informed, you will not
accept any Substitute if offered.

Gathering sponxsa.

The American sponge grounds, more
correctly known as the Florida sponge
grounds, are situated along the south
ern and western coasts of that state.
The methods employed in gathering
sponges in the Mediterranean and
around Florida are very different.
In the East divers are employed. The
diver is carried down by q broad fat
slab of marble of about twenty-five
pounds weight. which he holds at arms
length in trout OF him, and which he
uses to guide his flight, to protect his
head when he first strikes and to keep
him down when walking on the bottom.
Fifteen to twenty fathoms is the
average depth, while two minutes is the
usual duration of the dive. Each div
er puts the sponges be pulls into a net
bag that hangs from his neck. When
he is ready to ascend he jerks q rope
and 10 quickly pulled to the surface.
In thiH country q sponging crew is
divided into twos, each pair consisting
of sculler and hooker, supplied with
small yawl-boat known as dingy. The
former stands in Che stern of the dingy
and sculls it slowly and steadily for
ward, being prepared to stop it and
hold it exactly in place at q moments
notice from the hooker, who, kneeling
amidships, with the upper half of his
body projecting over the side, scans the
bottom tor suitable spongeH. In order
to assist in this scanning sponge glass
is used, 1t consists Of an ordinary
wooden bucket with q glass bottom
fitted in with putty.
! The handle is placed around the
neck of the hooker, while the glass
itself is placed fat upon the water,
while the hooker's head is thrust
well down into the bucket. By this
means he can see very small objects at
. considerable depth. And he has his
hands free to plunge the hooked pole
down and pierce the sponge, some
times at depth of 35 feet, as soon as
sighted.
After landing catch. the sponges are
beaten to cleanse them; afterward they
are dipped into weak solution Of lime
and sea water to give them the yellow
color so we'll known in the markets.
