 Probably the oldest native Califor- nian triplsts are the Wellman children Amy, Aaron and Amos-living near Erie Post Office, Tuba county, few miles back of Wheatland. They were born December 3, 1878. Their father is Miles Wellman, wheat farmer, and the mother Ency M, Wellman. Two weighed seven pounds apiece when born, and one of the boys eight pounds, The Welman triplets, are fine-appear- ing young folks, strong and sturdy, and naturally their parents are exceedingly proud of them.
 Four miles back from Mountain View, Santa Clara county, the Smith triplets are thriving. They were born July 6. 1895. The parents are Harvey w. Smith and Mrs Nettie Smith. They are people in humble circumstances, but millions could not buy their three of-a-kind babies
 The names of the triplets as first giv- en them have been changed slightly re- cently. They will soon be christened Mary Agnes Grace, Francisco Chinita Grace, Margaretta Valentine Grace. The names given are those of three kind neighbors who acted as nurses, while each received the name of Grace because of promise made by Mrs. Smith to her aunt Grace to name her next baby after her. The triplets are decorated with red white and blue rib bons, respectively, to distinguish them apart.

ter" and the irritating noise is si- fenced when he removes the glass globe,
 This is a common experience of piano tuners. Certain notes in the piano vi brate in harmony with gas fixture, picture frame, china plaque hung against the wall or the brie-a-brac which commonly filters the top of the sensitive instrument, and the innocent piano is blamed for the discordant jan gle. Pins, buttons and other things foreign to the piano which find their way into the instrument set up com plaints and harsh cries when certain keys are struck, and recently a plano tuner in Evanton, searching for the rattle" found and restored to the young woman who used the instrument her upper set of false teeth, which had disappeared mysteriously the week be- fore.
 Besides coins, buttons, pins and toothpieks, the piano tuners salvage includes hairpins, pocket knives, paper cutters, manicure instruments, knit ting needles, matches jewelry, nails, tacks, bits of glass, pieces of picture wire, buckles, collar buttons, sleeve buttons, rings, and even money which had been placed in the case for safe keeping and then forgotten.

or merely means a somewhat different process. In It's natural state, the fiorous framework, which is what We know as sponge, Is filled with a gelatnous fluid, and covered with a thin black cuticle, provided with numerous holes, through which a stream of water flows constant ly inward to the center of the creature by the smaller channels, and out again by the larger ones, Thus it is nour- | ished,
 In fishing, the whole thing is torn | from the rock or stone on which It grows, the cutieTe is then removed, and the gelatlnous interior, known as the milk" is squeezed out, That is the method praeticed in the Mediterranean; but in the Bahamas the mass is left to wash itself clean in a creek. At this stage the sponge is of a dark brown col or, with large red ferruginous stains, which render it very uneightly and quite unfit for the market. These stains are removed by the use of various chemicals.
 The so-called unbleached sponges are treated with sulphuric acid, which turns them a light brown, after which they are washed in sea water and sprinkled with sand, to give them a. touch of ''lo- cal color," packed in wooden cases, and | shipped to the warehouse. The bleached variety, on the other hand, are washed in permanganate of potassium, and afterward treated with hydroehlor- | ic acid ana soda. This is not done OH the spot. and therefore the sea water and sand are omitted. There is moi really much difference, except that the "bleached" having gone through more processes, are rather less durable.
 Sponges exhibit an endless variety of 1 shape, size and texture. Some hun dreds, of not thousands, of kinds are named in the trade, but only limited proportion of them are available for do- mestic purposes. Of these the common est is the ordinary "honey-comb' or bath sponge, which is especially in de- mand in English-speaking countries. The most Valuable kind is the fine Turkey" sponge, much used by ladies and in nurseries. It is of a very soft, close elastic texture, and more or less cup-shaped. It grows at a great depth, and only in certain limited fishing grounds. One of the most curious yari- cites of sponge is known as elephants ear,'' from it's resemblance to that re- markable feature. It spreads out into a thin, flat cake, several feet in diameter, and of tough, leathery consistence.
 Much ingenuity has been expended in trying to find some use for these and many other eccentric kinds, as well as for the sponges for the market, but hith- erto without much success. A large for tune lies awaiting somebody in the util- ization of waste fragments left by clip ping ordinary sponge waste.

 From the Chicago Chronicle. Piano tuners are sometimes called upon to tune" gas fixtures as well as pianos. Frequently the owner of fine upright grand" enters vigorous complaint because "that piano rattles so." Then the piano tuner packs his few tools and some extra felt, glue and parts of the "action" into his long, slen- der valise, and proceeds to feel the pulse, pound the chest, examine the tongue and overhaul the internal econ omy of the offending piano. His expe- rienced ear tells him that the piano Is all right. His intimate knowledge of the mechanism and makeup of the pi- ano assures him that nothing is the matter with the instrument, and he says so.
 But the piano does rattle" insists the owner. Now listen when I touch this key" And sure enough a decided buzz and jingle are heard.
 Tt is not in the piano" replies the tuner, and he touches the key again and again, at the same time glancing around the room There it is" he says at last, pointing to the glass globe around the gas jet; 'there is the rat
