The Island of Hawaii Decides to Secede
From tn. Group.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. l4.-The steamer
Australia brings the following from
Honolulu, Jan. =:
Minister of Foreign Affairs Cooper is
on the island of Hawaii. He will see
the leading men OF the island regarding
a rumor that Hawaii wishes to secede
to form its own government. The legis-
lature will meet next month and the
secession movement will be brought mp.
If the residents of the island decide to
form their own government, nothing
but outside interference would prevent
them. This government would be pow
erless, as Hawaii is more thickly popu-
lated than any other island of the group.
The friends of Liliuokalainl would
like to see war between the United
States and England, believing England
would seize these islands and restore
Liliuokalani. The remaining political
prisoners were released New Years day.
All claim they will support the present
government.
The Hawaiian band stranded in a
town in Ohio will be brought back at
the expense of the government.

A sUPERsTlTlous CALENDAR.

(People who believe in prophetic des-
tinies as outlined in verse will be inter-
ested in the 70 flowing ancient horoscope
for the monthst
BY her who In January is born
No gem save garnet should be worn.
1t will insure her constancy,
True friendship and fidelity.
The February born will find
Sincerity and peace of mind,
Freedom from passion and from care
If they the amethyst will wear.
Who on this world Of ours their eyes
In March first open, shall be wise,
In days of peril firm and brave,
And wear bloodstons to the grave.
She who from April dates her years
Diamonds shall wear, lest bitter tears
For vain repentance flow; this stone
Emblem of innocence Is known.
Who first behoids the light Of day
In springs sweet flowery month Of May,
And wears an emerald all her life,
Shall be loved and happy wife.
Who comes with summer to this earth.
And owes to June her day Of birth,
With ring Of agate on her hand
Can health, wealth and long life cem-
mand.
The glowing ruby should adorn
Those who in warm July are born;
Then will they be exempt and free
From loves doubts and anxiety.
Wear a sardonyx, or for thee
No consugal feiioity;
The August without this stone
IT'S said must live unloved and lone.
A maiden born when autumn leaves
Are rustling in September's breeze
A sapphire on her brow should bind
Twill cure diseases of the mind.
October's child is born for VICE.
And life's vicissitudes must know;
But lay an opal on her breast
AnG hope will lull those woes to rest.
Who first comes to this world below
With drear November's fog and snow
Shall prize the topaz's amber hue
Emblem of friends and lovers true,
If cold December gave you birth
The month OF snow and Ice and nIrth-
Plac on your hand turquoise blue;
Success will bless whaa'er you do.

divide sponges into two Glasses
''bleached" and "unbleached"; the
former are of bright yellow color, the
latter light brown. and they contain
sand. But the term has only a oonven-
Uional significance; all domestic sponges
are bleached, and the difference in color
merely means a somewhat different pro-
cess. In its natural state, the fibrous
framework, which is what we know as q
| sponge, is filled with a gelatinous fluid,
and covered with thin black outicle,
provided with numerous holes, through
which stream of water flows oonsta Mt
ly inward to the centre of the creature by
the smaller channels. and out again by
| the larger ones. Thus it is nourished.
In fishing the whole thing Is torn
| from the rock or stone on which it grows,
the cutiole is then removed, and the
gelatinous interior. known as the milk"
| is squeezed out. That is the method prac-
ticed in the Mediterranean; but in the
Bahamas the mass is lett to wash itaself
| clean in creek. At this stage the sponge
is of a dark brown color, with large red
ferrunginous stains, which render it very
unsightly, and quite unfit for the market.
These stains are removed by the use of
various chemicals.
The so-called I'm bleached sponges are
treated with sulphuric acid, which turns
them light brown, after which they are
washed in sea water and sprinkled with
sand, to give them touch Of ''local
color,'' packed in wooden cases, and
shipped to the warehouse The bleached
varieties. on the other hand, are washed
in permangarate of potassium, and after
ward treated with hydrochloric acid and
soda. This is not done on the spot, and
therefore the sea water and sand are
omitted. There is not really much differ
enoe, except that the "bleached" ones
having gone through more processes, are
rather less durable
Sponges exhibit an endless variety of
shapes, size, and texture. Some hum
dreds, if not thousands, of kinds are
named in the trade. but only limited
proportions of them are available for do
mestio purposes. Of these the common

sponge which is especially in demand in
English speaking countries The most
valuable kind is the fine "Turkey"
sponge, much used by ladies and in
nurseries. 1t is of very soft, close, elias
ito texture, and more or less oup-shaped.
1t grows at a great depth. and only in
certain limited fishing grounds. One
of the most curious varieties of sponge is
known as elephants ear" from its re-
semblance to that remarkable feature.
1t spreads out into a thin, fiat cake sew
eral feet in diameter, and of tough,
leathery consistency.
Much ingenuity has been expended in
trying to find some use for these and
many other eccentric kinds, but
hitherto without much success. A large
fortune lies awaiting somebody in the
utilization of waste fragm ents left by
clipping ordinary sponge waste
