SPONGES ARE HIGHER.
One of the Results of the Prevailing War
i'm Cuha

One of the Results of the Prevailing War
in Cuba.
People investing in sponges just now
feel the effect of the war in Cuba. ~ on
pay from % to 30 per cent. more for
sponges today than you did year ago.,
says a member of one of the large New
York wholesale sponge houses down in
the Swamp Even the general stagna-
ton of business does not lower the
prices he Went On. Our sponges i'll
this country come from Key West, Mas
sau and Cuba The Spanish cruisers
lowering around the last-named place
have made sponge fishing an unat-
tractiye business for the Cubans. This
has decreased the stock and raised the
price of Cuban Sponges. and it has gone
up correspondingly in other places. The
sponge business is different from any
other. | don't believe there are more
than eight or nine wholesale houses in
the United States, though there are a
great many jobbers. People buy sponges
more by chance than they do any other
kind of goods, / believe-that is. for tot
let purposes. If they happen to see a
sponge they fancy they buy it. 1t is
my opinion that a druggist who keeps
his stock Of sponges under his counter
might no. sell more than twenty-five
sponges. while man next door having
Il good collection in full view would sell
great many. The Mediterranean
sponges--all our fine bath sponges come
from the Mediterranean-are the only
ones sold in their natural condition. The
loWer-grade sponges people prefer
bleached. They are cheaper. though the
process is more expensive. All sponges
go through a chemical process, but the
average buyer evidently has an idea that
a bleached sponge is cleaner. New

The Chemistry OF Mushrooms.

Vegetarians tell us that the chemical
constituents of mushrooms are identical
in every way with those of meat, and
that they possess the same amount of
nourishing properties. Many people,
however. find them much more difficult
to digest, by reason of their excessive
richness, and we doubt whether, sutfi-
cient' quantity of mushrooms could be
eaten at a time to take the place of, say
for instance, q good mutton chop.

He had smile as bright as his gayly-
colored trap as he rode up alongside a
demure young woman who was walking
in Central park the other morning, upon
one Of the asphalt paths. She heard
the rafting of wheels at her side, yet
she turned neither to the right nor to the
left.
Good morning. said the handsome
young man as he raised his straw hat
with the dizzy band, wouldn't you like
to take ride with me this morning.
The girl .didn't say, "Sir-r-rv' or What
means this intrusion?' She slowly
turned around and looked the young man
over from head to foot. He bore her
gaze without fiinching, and started to
get down from his seat as if to assist
her into the trap.

THE SPINNING WHEEL


Two heavy blows have recently been
dealt the English claim to beauty OF fig-
ure among the women of the tight little
island. The connoisseurs who sit in the
orchestra chairs at the theater have long
maintained that English actresses have
poor figures, and their opinion has been
supported by the revelations of skirt
dancing and the pages costume. In fact,
Lefty Lind, the fayorite dancer of the
London stage, has put in evidence the
poorest UNDERMINING of any woman in
her class ever seen on the American
stage. And official condemnation has
just been visited upon the figures OF the
young women who serve as models in
London. The examiners at South Ken
sington in their last report say: The
examiners regret to say that the stand
ard of former years has not been main
tanned this year in the drawings from
the life. especially when the female fig
ure has been the subject. They continue
urgently to recommend that better
shaped and proportioned models should
be set before the students. ''-Argonaut
