In the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries Venice set the fashion in all
matters of amusement and was a sort
Of combination of our Monte Carlo and
Paris. Throughout the eighteenth CEN
tury the Venetians were seized with a
perfect mania for masquerading and
gambling. Paris and London followed
suit, and the two most popular amuse-
ments, both public and private, were
masQuerades and gambling saloons.
People not only wore their masks or
visors at balls, but in the Mall and the
parks and the theaters. At length
matters got to such a pass that when
a police raid was made on a certain
low dancing place in Soho and an
order was given for every one to un-
mask what was the amazement Of the
police to find that at least third of
the company consisted of ladies and
gentlemen of the highest aristocracy,
some Of whom had even brought their
daughters. Review.

How SpOnges Are Sold.

When offered for sale in the local
market in the Bahamas, sponges are
either piled up loose or made into
strands or beads of from two to ten
sponges each. The best sponges are
usually made into strings of from
eight to ten sponges each. Others are
generally sold in lots not strung. The
buyer, however, is not guided in his
purchase by the number of sponges on
string, but by what a certain lot will
weigh, and the weight is never given,
but the buyer must estimate it; hence
practical experience is needed in the
purchasing of sponges.

Letter to I'll. e. Burwell.

Stafford Springs, Conn.
Dear Sir: How much gold do you sell
In the course of a year? and how much
pewter how many 1S karat watches ?
how many filled cases?
No matter. A man may wear a gold
looking watch, or gold; it's nobody's
business. The money he didn't pay you,
he may have in the bank. Some women
may wear pewter; and paste may be as
good as diamond.
Not so with paint. Poor paint lets
property go to waste. Lead and oil is
good for three years; but that is the end
of its Wilderness.
Zinc Is as good for six years as lead
for three.
Lead and oil will keep out water three
years; Devoe lead and zinc six years
sixteen in favorable conditions.
Yours truly,

Blood.

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
Dur blood is rich orpoor.
There is nothing else to live
N or by.
When strength is full and
oirits high, we are being re-
shed, bone muscle and brain,
body and mind, with con-
,inual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved our blood
is poor: there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of. the blood, is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take SCOTS Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil. 1t sets the
whole body going again-man
woman and child.
If you have not tried it, send for free sample
its agreeable taste will surprise you.
