The study of the sponge helds of
Florida is to be undertaken by the gov
ernment with a view to developing an
important industry. Florida is the
only part of the United States produc-
ing sponges of a commercial value
There are 80 vessels with more than
1000 men employed in the industry,
and 1t is estimated that the 1900-190f
crop will have n commercial value OF
sS50,000. Sponges are found on tho
eastern and western coast, owing to
the equable temperature and moderate
depth of the water. and the absence of
fierce hurricanes. The sponge grounds
of the Gulf of Mexico extend from the
Florida reefs to st. Marks. and for
distance OF fifteen miles from the
shore.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are SO taught.
There is a little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should SEQ
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
tion but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkhsm and secure
the most efficient advice witho/>
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address

Some idea of thesdiversity of condi-
tions in the state of Texas may be
gained from the fact that there was
held within its borders a few years ago
at nearly the same date drainage
conference and an irrigation conven-
tion. One was at Galveston and the
other at San Antonio. Some persons
were thus studying means of lessening
the amount of water over large area,
while others sought to increase it. or
rather to make its supply fpr agricul-
tural purposes more regular.

Chicago physicians have recently had
the opportunity Of examining several
persons who were treated for consump-
ton by the nitrogen compression
method first promulgated by DR.. J. B.
Murphy at the congress of physicians
in Denver several years ago. The
method consists in injecting nitrogen
gas into the pleural cavity, the theory
being that the pressure Of the gas COM
presses the lung, enabling it to take a
rest and permitting the unhindered
cure Of any disease affecting it. DR..
Augustus Lemke, who presented the
eases shown in Chicago, made no.
claim that he had effected a cure, but
ne said: '.The symptoms Of tubercu-
:losis, which were pronounced in these
cases when they applied for treatment,
have all disappeared. The fever and
coughing have ceased, and the patients
have slept and eaten well. They have
all gained In weight and show no evi-.
3dence of disease"

in the western part of the state. Will

body was recovered. The other slide

miner. His body is supposed to be
buried under a vast mass of snow and
rock, and it is unlikely that it can be
recovered before late next summer:
