OF the pole position, Mclaughlin Maid was just
fast enough TO win by narrow margin each

In the cucumber sponge (Euplee-
tella cucumber) we have II specimen of
one which lies upon the mud after the
manner of its namesale. which it some
what resembles. Perhaps, however, tho
most beautiful of all these silicious
sponges is Euplectella aspergillum, or.
as it is commonly called, Venus flow
or basket. 1t is like beautiful horn
of CLASSY tibers or u graceful bouquet
holder. The first specimen of this sponge
in England came into the possession of
the lats Professor Owen i'll 1871. 1t was
held by him as great treasure. 1t was
soon followed by few more specimens.
which were sold in the market at about
So apiece, but now that they have been
found to be so plentiful they may be
bought for as many shillings. These
sponges were found by the Challenger
expedition to be growing in vast abund-
ance in certain spots in the deep waters
among the Philippine islands and also
off the coast of Brazil ''They live
buried in mud which is SO soft and loose
as not to crush them or i'll any way to
impede the assumption of their elegant
form, and they are supported i'll their
position and prevented from sinking by
fringe of CLASSY spicules.
"The tube of this specimen from the
Philippines. after the death Of the
sponge, is frequently inhabited by one,
sometimes by pair, Of decapod crusta-
ceans" :" He reminds one forcibly of the
hermit crab we have all seen living i'll
dead shells upon our own shores.
"These, says the same author, care SO
often found together that only few years
ago paper was written to show that this
sponge was wonderful habitation con-
structed by this crab. "-Good Words.

speechless and Swollen.

A story at the expense of Sir William
Harcourt is worth repeating. Before his
recent departure for the continent the
ex-chancellor of the exchequer spent
some time at the seaside, and on one oc-
casion visited man -of-war lying on the
Hampshire coast.
After dinner, the weather proving
rather rough, the captain, an unusually
small and dapper man, suggested that
Sir William should sleep on board, and
thoughtfully surrendered his own berth
for the night to his distinguished guest
Next morning, at the early hour when
the captain usually rose. the latter s
sailor servant, who knew nothing of the
change of berths, brought cup of coffee
to the cabin door and knocked once
or twice without receiving an answer.
Somewhat alarmed, the servant popped
in his head and asked:
Don't you want your coffee this
morning, sir?"
The only reply was in the nature of a
growl, and the terrified sailor beheld a
gigantic figure turning over under the
bedclothes. Dropping the cup of coffee,
the faithful servant rushed to the ships
surgeon, exclaiming:
"For goodness sake, sir, come to the
captain at once. He's speechless, and
swollen to ten times his natural size. "

are cannibals of the most voracious
type. They eat other bugs when they
can find any, and when they can not
they eat each other. On account of this
characteristic it was found very diff
fcult to import them. Box after box
was sent on succeeding ships from
Australia, only to be discovered that
when the vessels arrived here the lit

selves. Finally, however, few hardy

The cocktail was the invention Of
Colonel Carter of Culpeper Court House,
Va. Many years ago in that locality
there was a wayside inn named the
Cock and Bottle, the semblauce of an
old English tavern, and which bore upon
its swinging sign cock and bottle.
meaning thereby that draft and bottled
ale could be had within-the "cock, ," i'll
old vernacular, meaning the tap. He,
therefore, who got the last and muddy
portion of the tap was said to have re-
ceived the cocktail" P"
Upon one occasion, when Colonel Car
ter was subjected to the indignity Of
having this muddy beverage put before
him, he threw it angrily upon the floor
and exclaimed, Hereafter will drink
cocktails of my own brewing, and then
and there, inspired evidently by the
spirit of Ganymede, he dashed together
bitters, sugar, the oil of lemon peel and
some old Holland gin, and thus and then
and there was the original cocktail con
cocted, Philadelphia Times.

THE ISLE OF BOREDOM.

As you sail through life take pains and steer
Away from the island that lies too near,
The isle Of Boredom, which all men fear.
The island sets up like shelf of rock,
But woe to the sailor who lands at the dock
And offers the people chance to talk
For they talk all night and they talk all day,
And try you will to get away
They pin you down and they make you stay.
They talk of the things they have done and
said,
Thy talk you awake and they talk you to bed
Till you almost wish they would talk you dead
And the queerest thing, and one to deplore,
About the dwellers upon that shore
Not one of them knows that he is bore.
So steer away from that island shelf
That is governed, they say. by wicked elf.
Lest you be a bore and not know it yourself.

had exhausted the patience of his hear
ers by an elaborate dissertation ON the
four greater prophets, and when. to
their sad disgust, he passed on to the

man rose from the congregation and
made answer: lyon can place him here,

Anna Maria Torlonia, of Rome, which
has just come to an end in the former

POLITICAL SMALL WORK
freachery ana Bad Faith Exhibited In

freaehery ana Bad Faith Exhibited IN
MOiiue.
The extent to which the republi.
cans are pressed in the present cam
Paign has been shown in Moline,
where a shameful advantage has been
taken of the disposition Of the demo.
Gratis to be fair. Since it was an.
nounced that Gov. Altgeld was to
be in Rock Island, the republicans
have been in an excited state OF
mind lest he make a political speech
during his visit. They knew that
he would do nothing of the kind at
the corner stone ceremony, but were
AFRAID he would be prevailed upon to
discuss politics in the evening. They
therefore made the suggestion that
TINS was q non-partisan occasion and
that on such mission the governor
ought not to talk politics. The con-
sequence was that it was agreed that
the governor was not to be invited
to spesk on the condition that the
republicans would have no speech
making this evening. The under
standing was made in good faith.
and Gov. AltgeId came to Rock ISL
and on purely officia! ard social
visit.
But here is where the treachery
came in. for hardly had the arrange
ment been agreed to than the repur-
licans arranged to have Ben Butter
worth, OF Ohio, speak on Market
square in Moline this evening. This
morning an appeal was make by a
committee representing some of the
trades unions. who are indignant
over the matter, to have Gov. Alt
geld speak tonight, but he, of course,
declined.
He and not the republicans will be
the gamer by reason of the republi-
can treachery.
