Freaks for the Paris EXPOSITION.

The freak exhibitors are just now
besieging the managers of the coming
Paris Exposition for space to exhibit
their wonders. One man has pair
of hairless horses, each of which has
horn in its forehead and skin of the
color of ripe banana. Another wauta
to exhibit woman who has two faces
and three tongues, but who is per-
fectly dumb. Another writes for
space in which to exhibit winged
sheep, which only has two legs, and a
horse which has eight perfect hoofs
in his four legs. An Austrian wants
to send hen that always walks back
ward, and an italian banker thinks
that he ought to have room enough in
which to exhibit pure white Shet.

FaCts About SnOngHs.

Some of the finest kinds of sponges
are found in Florida waters, and the
oulturist would find profit in raising
such species as the "sheep WOOL" the
"Yelvet," the "hard head" and the
"grass" sponge. Some OF the kinds
recognized as quite distinct are, never.
theless, so much alike in appearance
that only an expert can tell them
apart. The sleeps wool sponges are
best of all for the bath.
1t is fact worth knowing that it
pays very much better to buy I'M
bleached sponges. The bleached ones
look much prettier, but the chloride
of lime employed in the process in
juries the skeleton, and lessons its
strength so that it soon comes to
pieces. When you find sand in
sponge, you may know that you are
indebted to trade dishonesty. Sponges
never grow on n sandy bottom. The
sand is added in the bales to make
them weigh more.
The sponges are gathered by small
boats. In each boat are two men one
sculls, while the other leans over the
bow. When he sees a sponge, he spears
it and drags it aboard. If the water
is rough, he uses q "water glass;"
which is simply an ordinary pail with
glass bottom. The pail is hung
around the neck of the fisherman, who
sinks it below the surface when he
wishes to see. In this way he can get
perfect view of the bottom. In the
Mediterranean sponges are collected
usually by dredges, but sometimes by
naked divers.
The sponges of commerce are warm
water animals. They come chiefly
from the Mediterranean, ..the Red Sea,
the Bahamas, and Florida.

The People of Seville,

too gay, too commercial, too modern,
NJ. Maurice Barres thought Seville.

its awnings it was like a pleasant
court; for, though peasants might pass
with their donkeys, no cart or carriage
could ever drive through. In the clubs
on each side, their facade nothing but
one open window, rows of chairs were
always turned toward the street, and
always held an audience as entertain
Ing as 1t was willing to be entertained.
The same people who in the evening
filled the Plaza Nueva, there to listen to
the music, sauntered in and out of

The train-boy had bad eye and a
most unmelodious voice. His yell sent
shudder through the entire car. 1t
was, as a matter of course, the fate
Of the irritable man to select this par
ticular train for his journey. Every
time the train-boy howled he jumped
and looked at him with an expression
Of reproach which gradually became
malignant and then ferocious.
"P-e-e-e-a-c-h-e-s! A-a-a-a-p-l-e-s!

as he pushed the front door shut with
slam after holding it open long enough
to fill the car with smoke and cinders.
He was juse about to repeat his cry
when he came to the nervous mans
seat.
"Want any p-e-e-e-a-c-h-e7s, a-a-p-"
"Shut up, will you!" exclaimed the
nervous man. "What do you mean
by keeping up that internal racket"
"Does that bother you, mister?"
"Of course it bothers me. Every
time you come along you whoop into

"How are you going to fix it?"
"Tll go out and get the brakeman to

And for the remainder of the trip the

SIXTY YEARS BLIND,
Sensations of a Man Who After That
Period Was Restored to Sight.

6ensations of a Man Who After That
Period Was Restored to Sight.
In the little Canadian town of Penn
brook, not far from Kingston, there
lives a man, who, after sixty years Of
blindness, has had his sight restored.
He was born with cataract over each
eye and in those far off days such was
incurable.
Two years passed-sixty years pass
ed, and still he sat and walked IN the
darkness. Then the news penetrated
to Pembrook that there were cases Of
blindness that could be cured. Some
Of his friends persuaded him to see a
doctor. He let the doctor examine him,
but had no hope, even when they told
him that only very simple operation
was necessary, that he would soon be
able to see.
Even when they examined him he
was not especially interested. He did
| rot know what 1t meant to see. But
they got the best available surgical
skill and after few weeks the light
| was gradually admitted.
After day or SO spent in the semi
| darkness Of q darkened room, where
he first made out the faces of those
who had been about him teaching him
in the darkness for so many years, they
let him go out into the twilight of 4
beautiful June evening.
The old man looked about him and
those who saw him say there never
was anything like the expression of
his face. He looked and looked again,
and then burst into tears. He was soon
gazing again. He saw that the light
was slowly fading; that the darkness
was coming on. He had never seen a
sunset.
He put his hands over his eyes and
cried out: "My God! am going back
into the darkness again. Ny eyes are
going outw All they said failed to re-
assure him. But presently the moon
rose and he was filed with Il new won.

He refused to go to bed that night.
He sat there until morning. He saw
| the sun rise and the tears rolled down
| his cheeks. 1t will be many weeks be.
fore he RECEIVERS from the keen delight,
| For so far as this Individual man is
concerned, the new world was as moth

pared with the panorama Of day and
night as it unfolds itself to the old man.
He is gradually learning perspective.
To his new eyes everything seems close
| at hand-the moon no further away
| than the arm Of his chair. knowledge
| OF relative distances comes only by ex.
| perience. He has to learn his surround

easy cure Of his blindness kept him in
the darkness three score years, he Is
| almost glad He says no man ever be-
fore had such keen enjoyment as he is
having.
This mans old age will be like the
| childhood and youth Of other men. 1t
| will be especially hard for him to die.
At 60 he is just beginning life and long
before he has had time to learn lifes
main lessons he will be gone.

ROSH HASHONOH.

This afternoon at sundown, the
Jewish New Year 5,657 will com
mence.
This is one OF the most strictly
observed holidays within the Jewish
religion.
All places of business will be
closed, and every Israelite attends
the services at the Synagogue,
which on this high festival are par
ticularly solemn and impressive.
Prayers and music are of a plain
tive character to add to the great
solemnity of the day celebrated.
The shofar, or rams horn, is SCUM
ded to remind its hearers of the
willingness to bring a sacrifice to
the Lord, and to place implicit
faith in God, the Most High.
A woman never really knows the
meaning Of happiness or content
until she is the mother of a healthy,
happy child. The healtl of the
child depends on the health of the
mother, both before and after birth.
Most all of woman's weakness, and
particularly the weakness that most
strongly influences the health Of
children, comes from some derange-
ment or disease of the distinctly
feminine organs. DR. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription will cure trou-
bles of this nature. 1t should be
taken regularly by every woman
during the entire period of gesta-
ton. 1t gives strength to all the
organs involved, lessons the pains
of childbirth and insures the health
of both mother and child.

THE ELECTION.

As we go to press about noon to-
day, on account of legal holiday,
and to attend the races at Spring
Lake park, we can give very little
election news.
1t appears that a large vote will
be polled. Everything is quiet and
orderly-no disturbance of any kind
up to noon.
The Democrats are working like
beavers, and feel confident of win
ming great victory, Opposition
are likewise doing their best, and
claim that they will win.
About $3.50 we saw twenty-siX ne
groes marched up to the court
house, to vote in the country box;
but thanks to our Australian secret
ballot law, one and all can vote as
he pleases-two election judges
alone can assist the voter who can
not read, and they are not allowed
to suggest anything to him.
Let every Democrat and man
who wants to see the white mer
rule this county, keep up the good
work until every polling place is
closed. Then we will have earned
a glorious victory.
We will give as full election re-
turns tomorrow, as are to be OBJ
