SPONGES.

~
Eow They Are Sighted and Brought Uy
from the Water.
The sponges OF and the
dried specimens OF other species are
not the actual animal, but merely their
skeletons, OR framework. That which
constitutes their vital parts is removed
in preparing them for market. Sponges
do not have the power Of motion pos
sessed by most animals; they are
nearly always attached to submerged
objects. Since it is impossible for
them to go in search Of food, they can
grow only In places where there is
plenty of food such as they require.
They are more active in fresh than in
still water, and die in a short time II
exposed to the air. The surface OF a
living sponge Is covered with minute
pores, through which water is imblbed,
carrying with it both the air II the
organic particles necessary for the sup
port of life. Sponges are distributed
through all seas. and are classified,
chiefly, according to the structure OF
the skeleton. The Mediterranean and
the Red sea are the sponging-grounds
Of the old world: the grounds Of the
new world are the Bahamas, southern
and western Florida, and parts Of the
West Indies. The best sponge Of COM
merce is found in the Mediterranean,
and Is known as Turkey, or Smyrna,
sponge. 1t is obtained by divers, who
go clad In armor when diving. Spong-
es are usually obtained by fishing for
them. When a sponge vessel arrives
at the fishing grounds in the Bahamas
diately get ready for work. The
sponge fishers outfit consists Of a
small boat called q "dingey,' q long
hook, and a water glass. The sponge
hook is a three-pronged iron fork at
taChed to the end Of a long pole; the
water glass is simply a wooden water
bucket with a bottom Of common WIN
dow glass. To use it, the glass bottom
is thrust into the water, the fisherman
puts the ball around his neck, and then

exclude the light. There are always
two men to each dingey, n to act as
"sculler," and the other as hooker
While the sculler propels the dingey
along very slowly the hooker, in a
kneeling position, keeps his head In
the water glass, looking down In the
water. When q good sponge IS sighted
the hooker gives a signal and the din
gey stops. Together the sculler and
hooker thrust the sponge hook down
through the water and run 1t under the
sponge, the roots are thus pulled
loose from the rocks, and soon the
game is IN the dingey. Thus the work
goes on until a boatload Is obtained.
and then they are taken ashore and
placed in crawls to be cured. The
crawls are built by sticking pieces Of
brush or stakes into the sand just out
of the water or where 1t Is very shall
low. They remain in the crawls while
undergoing maceration, and the refuse
is carried away in the ebb and flow OF
the tide. Usually they are left In the
crawls for a week; then the fishermen
remove them and give them a beating
for the purpose Of removing all chance
impurities. After the beating they are
thoroughly cleansed and are ready for

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Fashion and medicine seem at the
first glance to have no particular con-
nection with each other. The tickle
dame rules us, it is true, in most
things, but it might be supposed she
left pills and potions and surgical ap-
planes severely alone. Not so, how
ever. A noted scientist has pointed out
the influence Of fashion upon medicine,
and the periodical craZes for certain
drugs or certain methods. Society
runs mad for a time On a diet treat
ment or a particular "cure;" it doses
itself with antipyrin or morphine or
q%uin;ne or something else, and the very
next season rushes to the opposite ex-
IRENE in some other direction. Women
are usually the worst faddists of the
kind.
A bright woman, when applauded re-
Gently for her goodness. begged her
friend to let the matter drop. For"
she said, whimsically, though ! do try
to do good from some really nigh mo-
tives, yet l have a reason for trying
which l am afraid is a low one" What
do you mean?' inquired her laughing
friend. Il mean that l once heard,
many years ago, that beauty after fifty
depends not en- features, but on char
acter. Like all me l desired to be
beautiful, and, as Providence had de-
MED me the features necessary to Sc
cure that result in early life, / deSr-
mined to make the attempt to be beau
tiful at fifty. l am eighty-tiye now"
she concluded, merrily, "and l must
confess that I see no signs OF this In
dian summer loneliness, but I still try
to be good"
These friends treated the matter as a
;est, but there are really sense and
truth in the saying that beauty in later
life, in either mar or woman, is de-
pendent upon character far more than
upon form or contour. It is a common
experience for a young woman to say:
How ~fne-loching Mrs. - is. She
must have been a beautiful girl" And
to hear the reply: mo; she was not
nearly SO good-looking in her youth
as she is now. Her beauty has deyel-
oped with her years." And 1t may
have been observed that this is oftener
true Of women Of high character. No
bility will tell upon the outward as
pect. The carriage of the figure. the
pose Of the head, the expression of the
face-these come to reveal more and
more, with the lapse of time, the inner
life.
