BAHAMA SPCEOES.
How They Are sighted and Brought "
from the Water.


fron the Water.
The sponges of commerce auA the
dried specimens of other species arc
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 1t 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 short time II
exposed to the air. The surface OF
living sponge is covered with minute
pores, through which water Is imbibed'
carrying with 1t both the air ana 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 sponsing-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
meree 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 sponge vessel arrives
at the fishing grounds In the Bahamas
1T Is anchored, and the crew imme-
diately get ready for work. The
sponge fishers outfit consists OF
small boat called a "dingey," long
hook, and water glass. The sponge
hook is a three-pronged iron fork at
tached to the end of long pole; the
water glass is simply a wooden water
bucket with bottom of common win
dow glass. To use 1t. the glass bottom
Is thrust into the water. the fisherman
puts the ball around his neck, and then
buries his head deep in the bucket to
exclude the light. There are always
two men to each dingey, one to act as
"sculler," and the other as hooker"
While the seulier propels the dingey
along very slowly the hooker, In
kneeling position, keeps his head in
the water glass. looking down In the
water. When a good sponge Is sighted
the hooker gives a signal and the din
gey stops. Together the seuller and
hooker thrust the sponge hook down
through the water and run II 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 boatload is obtained,
and then they are taken ashore and
placed in crawls to be cured. The
erawIs are built by sticking pieces Of
brush or stakes into the sand just out
of the water or where 1t IL 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
market.-Philadeplhia Press.

AS TO THE "REsERvAT0Rs. y

The fact that the Cherokee
council has been induced to admit
persons to citizenship who had
once shared in the division of the
common property Of the tribe back
in the old nation is poor excuse to
plead in the case of the "reserva-
tors" in the Cherokee nation.
That a wrong has been done ought
to be sufficient reason for the gov
ernment rectifying that wrong. 1t
can easily be shown by the records
that large number of Cherokees
known as reseryees once drew
their pro rata shares of land and
money and withdrew from the
tribe; then some twenty years ago
came on here and by some means
obtained readmission to the rights
of citizens. We believe the gov.
ernment will yet rectify the great
wrong done the Cherokees by not
allowing these people to again
share in a division of the common
property. Section 21 of the Cur
tis law provides: "They (the
Dawes commission) shall investi.
gate the right of all other persons
whose names are found on any
other rolls and omit all such as
may have been placed thereon by
fraud or without authority of law,
enrolling only such as may have
lawful right thereto" Acts of
the Cherokee council must not
conflict with the treaties and acts
of congress, otherwise they are of
no effect. AS proposition in
equity as well as in law, these peo-
pie will not be allowed to again
share in the final allotment Of the |
lands of the tribe.

THE MAN WITH A HOE.

The Immediate future is preg-
nant with great events affecting
the Indian Territory and its peo.
pie. The storm that has been
gathering for generation is about
to break forth in all its fury. The
Dawes commission has been here
about six years. The progress has
been remarkably slow and uncer-
tain in its movements. No man
has been able at any time to fore.
tell the course Of the changes. For
ten years we have had the gradual
unfolding and development Of the
United States courts in the Indian
Territory until at the present time
the judiciary of this country is
about as complete as anywhere.
The story of the progress Of this
territory for the last twenty years
is marvelously fascinating. Full
enough of bitter and painful ep-
isodes. and rep.ete with tragedy
and rugged romance, yet its course
has been upward and at rapid
rate at that. THE man with a
hoe,' as in all the west, has made
his appearance, doubled and tre-
bled until be has become mighty
army-a host that has gradually
swept away all opposition. The
vast unfenced stretches of waving
grass are only memory The
pillow and the wire fence have
changed the face Of nature. The
dying wall of the few remaining
cattle kings is feebly heard amid
the din and noise Of busy civiliz
alton.

A BIBULoUs MEMORY.
Young Man Who Reforms, Unable to
Recall Name of Temperance
Drink, Carries II written.

The young man was superior judge
of whisky. Not that he had n superior
palate, but he had so much larger op.
portunity for tasting different brands
than others. He drank early and late
all over the downtown district and
could call the names of whiskies and
mixed drinks all the way down the list,
His vocabulary of intoxicants was tho
wonder of all comers.
This young man swore off. From no
apparent cause he ceased TO call for any
of the score of brands he knew more
intimately than he did the number of
his room, and took to the drinks of the
temperance advocate. 1t so happened
that one of his friends had had tenn
porary attack of the water habit. In
the days when he rebulSed his friend
and scoffed at him, the youth with a
bibulous vocabulary had noticed him
drink a certain mineral water, which
amused him greatly. lie used TO laugh
and order whisky, and then scoff at his
friend. He scorned this temperance
drink even as ''chaser."
But when the wave Of reform struck
him this drink was the only thing in
the temperance line he knew, except
lemonade. He was accustomed to or
der it, but there was the difficulty of
the name, which he could not remem-
ber long enough to convey some one
else's promptings to the barkeeper. He
ordered it in one place as that stuff
that Smith used to drink" but where
Smith was not known that did not suf-
flee. So he appealed TO Smith. and that
obliging individual wrote the name on
a piece of paper. The young man may
be seen to-day wallting about among
saloons from force of habit and after
stammering awhile over what he is 60
ing to take, pulling a crumpled and
dirty piece of paper from his pocket
and tossing it to the barkeeper. Then
he says: Give me some of that"
His memory refuses to REFORM Chi
