PICKING UP A oARLE END.
A Delicate Operation Performed in
Rough Weather.

A novel method of lifting a buoyed
cable eId is described by n writer in n
London paper. He states that this
method has the important advantage Of
being free from all usual risks to boat
and boats crew, and was successfully
adopted on recent important cable
laying expedition, when the weather
was too rough to even allow of boat
being lowered without danger to the
men. On this occasion the modus OPP
erandi was as follows The ship, a YES
sci of some $500 tons gross, paid out
200 fathoms of buoy rope, with a cent?
pede grapnel attached to the end of it,
the depth of water being $500 fathoms,
and steamed round the buoy at q dis
tance of abcut so fathoms until the CEN
tipede and rope became entangled, as
they very soon did. with the buoy
moorings. which were then hauled into
the blight and the buoy then cleared
from the bow baulks. BY this means
not only was the end cf the cable read
lily brought on board without risk and
with very little trouble, but several
days of valuable time, which would 9th
erwise have been lost in waiting for the
weather to moderate sufficiently, Were
saved and the cable was successfully
completed. With vessels of smaller
dimensions, such as those usually en-
ployed for cable repairs, this operation
would, no doubt, be still more easily
effected. a French telegraph engineer
has the credit of being the first to sug-
gest and practically apply this in
genious and novel idea, which is to be
commended to the notice of those who
are engaged more particularly in sub
marine cable laying and repairing
work

FISHING FOR S9ONGES.
An Expert Is Poorly Paid and Always
Suffers from RllcuMntism.

Lying on his chest along the boats
deck, the sponge fisher, with his water
glass-n pane set in a box fitted with
handles-loolls down 40 feet into the
clear depths, says Pearscn's Weekly
With one hand he grasps and sinks a
slender pole, sometimes so feet in
length, fitted at the end with a double
hook. The sponge once discovered
the hook is deity inserted at the rocky
base, and by a sudden jerk the sponge
is detached.
This curt description of what seems
the simple work of sponge fishing gives
40 idea of the real skill and eXertion
needed. The eye Of the fisher has to
be trained by long experience to peer
valuable sponge from those that are
worthless. He must have deft hand
to dctach the sponge without tear.
Above all, while doing this with one
hand, he must manipulate with the
other the water glass, as the waves
sway it sideways andup and down. The
strain on eye and body is most intense,
to say nothing of the cramped position
and exposure to wind and wet, which
first and last, make almost every
sponge fisher victim OF acute rheuIna
tism. Yet, with all his arduous toll
an expert fisher earns not moro thar
three pounds sterling month, besides
his keep" on the boat, which barely
deserves the name of existence.

Thousands of women are cast-up dead
on the shores of life because of their own
ignorance or neglect. No woman can be
free from pain, or safe froiii the cver-threat-
ening breakers of death, who neglects to
take proper care of the organs that con-
stitute her womanhood. A woman who
neglects her womanly-self will be sickly,
preaching maternity will be menace of the
grave. 1t is easy for woman to avoid this
suffering and danger.
Wise women know that Dr. Pierces Fa-
vorite Prescription is a marvellous remedy
for those troubles that make woman's life
miserable, and fill the period of prospect
i've motherhood with fears. 1t is the dis
covery of an eminent and skillful specialist,
DR.. r. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief. con-
sulting physician to the Invalids Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. Over
90, 900 women have testified to the almost
miraculous action of this wonderful remedy.
1t works directly on the organs distinctly
feminine. 1t makes them strong and
healthy. 1t cures all weakness and disease.
1t prepares for wifehood and motherhood.
1t insures baby's health and makes its ad-
vent easy and nearly painless. Druggists
sell it. Nothing else is Just as good"
Mrs G. A. connor, of Allegheny Spring, Mont
gomery Co. Va, writes MY daughter, aged IS
years, had goitre coming on her neck and 1t
dishgured her very much; am happy to say
that it has disappeared after the use of one bot
tie of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription"

what result? For thirty years this
land, with the greatest natural re-

theater of almost unprecedented
financial disaster and business dis

trace or steps until we reach firm
ground, but must wade on to where
