Gresham's Plain WAYS,

Judge Gresham, says the Washington
Post, was never much impressed by the
flounce and frilf of official life. His
methods were as easy and direct as Bis
marck's This easy, careless plan of do
ing business was more than once Il shock
to the diplomatic colony IN Washington
They did not know how to take Greah-
ANS blunt fashion Of doing business.
On one occasion q couple of under
diplomats of one of the legations were
ushered into the diplomatic room to
make what they intended should be a
very formal call upon the secretary of
state. 1t was q hot August afternoon
They found the secretary in his shirt
sleeves and with HE slippered feet plac-
ed comfortably in window where he
could have the full benefit Of the Poto-
mac breeze. He was smoking very
strong cigar and was adding to his COM
fort as much as possible with palm
leaf fan. He turned his head amiably
toward the callers, both of whom he had
met before aud knew, and waving his
hand Hospitality said: Excuse my not
getting up, gentlemen. Pull up some
chairs by the window. You will find
some cigars on the desk.
This gave the European disciples of
red tape severe shock at the time and
aroused considerable gossip in an un
Gertone in what are called diplomatic
circles. The callers We're by no means
sure that their eountry's dignity had
not been seriously infringed by our sec
retary's informal reception.

Mr. W. b. Bunk, who has made a
close study and examination of the
sponges found in different parts Of the
globe, declares that there are no sponges
in any land in the world that can equal
the Florida sheep wool for softness and
strength, and no better bath sponge has
been discovered than good solid sheep
wool, although it is generally employed
for washing carriages, ETC., and though
in former years the sponges were loaded
with lime or sand, such kind or de-
scription OF the article is not often to be
met with, The Florida sheep wool is
the best variety Of sponge, being of very
fine texture, soft, strong and durable.
The yellow sponge is of fine quality, but
not firm in texture, and not nearly so
soft or durable as the first named. The
grass sponge Is quite inferior to the 9TH
ers, not being so strong nor so desirable
in shape, and is easily torn.
Tho Cuban sponges, Mr.. Burk says,
are the next best to the Florida, the
principal varieties foand in Cuba or the
West Indies beirg the sheep wool, reef,
yellow and grass, also velvet, which are
next best to the sheep wool sort. The
finer grades of sponges are found princi
pally in the Mediterranean, such rs the
fine surgeons, toilet, bathing and nurs-
cry sponges, and these are of much
higher price than any others. They are
fished principally by divers, sometimes
at great depth, and after being brought
to the land are buried in the sand and
allowed to decompose, and subsequently
well washed, beaten with small stick
and thoroughly cleaned. New York
