whole human race is yet shocked
by the atrocious deeds Of the past
few years, and while statesmen and
diplomats are even now weighing

ancient Rome, Greece, Athens,

Sponges grow in odd, fantastic
shapes. Some of them have an
overgrowth resembling huge warts.
There are some suggesting hands,
hats and figures of idols. These
are curiosities and not marketable
for practical use. In trimming
them into shape many small
sponges are made which are used
for children's states, for backing
shoes and in making paper. The
uses vary according to size.
One of the largest sponges
known is in New York city. 1t is
fan shape and some three feet in
diameter. For practical use it is
worthless, but as an exhibit it is
valued at 500.
The best sponges are imported
from the Mediterranean, altho
Florida produces very fine varie-
ties. These vary in price from
cent to 500 apiece, altho &C.
casionally fine specimens bring
$50 a pound. The best of these
are used in surgical operations.
Other sponges are the mandruka-
bait, the elephant ear, velvet, grass
and sleeps wool, which is best for
washing. The cheap sponges are
used in washing carriages and by
painters. Elk.

all that the old have lost-the
keener senses, the juster judg-
ment, the brighter perceptions.
To one who has been vigorous
and energetic, self helpful and
prone to help others, it is anguish
to have to take the back seat and
to be done for by the young,
while watching all the former work
and duties passing into others
hands. It is anguish, truly, but it
must be met and borne with the
patience Of common sense and the
dignity of resignation to the inev-
liable. Time was, and time is no
longer what it was. The shadows
are frightening and the days are
shortening; but even in winter the

repeats the selfish
ness, the greediness, the want of
sympathy characteristic Of the
first years; bat alas! without the
naivete and careless grace of in
souciance which condones the
faults of those who as yet know no
better.
Perhaps the most predominant of
all the moral pitfalls besetting the
path of old age is that of avarice.
Where the soft hand of youth and
the broad palm of maturity scat
tered freely. the lean grip Of old
age clutches tight, and lets moth
ing slip through the close pressed
fingers. Even the expenditure to
which the gradually hardening
miser has been accustomed for
years seems to become monstrous
and exaggerated. Strand after
strand is cut away from the fringe
of the non essentials which we
hang round the core of our vital
needs. All beauty is suppressed,
all grace, all elegance, all nicely.
Side by side this good old gen
tlemanly vice. stands suspicion as
a fault of old age. No one has
lived long in this world without
knowing what it is to be deceived,
betrayed, slandered, imposed on.
Tho human, thou didst not be-
tray me-" can be said of but few
of our friends. But handful of
all we have loved and trusted have
justified that love, and kept the
white flower of blameless fidelity
nnsullied and unfaded. Who can
say he-or more truly she-has
never said word of a friend which
could not be said to him? Who is
there that has never let an i'll
natured surmise pass uncontra-
dicted, an unfavorable estimate rule
the criticism Of the hour? Who
has always faithfully guarded a
weakness, and let no sign of fault
appear? When such a one is
found, far more than make a note
of it, put him on a pedestal for all
men to worship as the incarnation
of that difficult virtue-Absolute
Fidelity. Wherefore, this virtue
being so rare, the old have learned
to disbelieve in it altogether, and
the second great pitfall of their
state is suspicion.
Still, allied, linked hand in hand,
the third is greediness. Avarici-
GUS in what is possessed, there
comes also greed for more and
still more, even when there is an
overplus Of enough. Such as these
will not part with the very refuse
cuttings, but will quietly ask you
for a vigorous plant, superb
gloxinia, standard rose, or a
bearing peach tree. With them it
is all get and grab, with never a
breath of reciprocity nor the
smallest attempt at giving in re-
turn. And this selfshness, which
when in youth was softened by
certain personal graces, has now
become like disease which no
skill can cure. 1t is the pitfall
into which the cruel hand has
pushed the failing STEPS of the old !;
and those who love have to stand
by and lament that such things
should be, and wish they could be
otherwise.
Then some old people become
garrulous. egotistical, long winded,
pointless and bores. It is un.
fortunate, but it Is true. 1t is not
everyone who retains the keen,
clear memory that makes talk on
books or the things of the past
both instructive and interesting;

Afuhan Ferries.

The Afghan ferrynan at some
ferries on the river Oxus makes use
of ponies to get his clumsy boat
across the stream. Gone or some
times two Of these rather INSULT
cient looking animals are attached
to the boat by bellybands or sur
cingles, which allow them to swim
alongside, with the strain Of the
haul on their middles. They are to
a certain extent supported in the
water by the ropes which attach
them to the boat, but only their
heads are usually visible as they
strike out with measured pace,
snorting with each stroke, being d.
rected from the boat as to which
way they should go. So powerful
is their stroke that two small thir-
teen hand ponies will easily pull a
boat which might carry ten tons
Of dead weight. One almost looked

for the old.
We should nourish many hopes, so
when one fails another may take its
place. Where hope is not despair
dwells. No good can come to our
selves or any one else by giving way
to despair. We should remember
that even if we are willing to give
up the struggle of life and give way
to despair, we cannot endure it's mi
series alone Even death does not
end it. We leave an added burden
on some one else, and are stumbling
blocks in the way of others advance.
We have no right to give way to de-
spair even in the worst Of circum-
stances. While life lasts, keep the
spark of hope alive in the breast.
There is always room for the unex-
pected to happen. Shakespeare
lays, IA mansis never undone till he
be hanged. " Bovee says when all
else is lost, the future still remains. "
Keats says, eff winter comes can
spring be far behind?"
Without hope we can do little good
in the world, When we have little
to hope for in our own lives, we may
still hope for others. We may con-
tinue to do kind deeds, to speak kind
words and to wish kind wishes.
Some good is sure to come of it to
someone. We may confidently nope
that some soul is better and happier
for our hope for him. Hope includes
trust where one hopes, he trusts
that his hopes will, in measure, if
not wholly, be realized. That trust
in another is power in ones infu-
-ence. Whatever misfortune comes
to one, still cling fast to hope. Mil

Others for us-these hopes are great
factors of our lives. Hope may be
said to be vital factor Of life, for
without.it we are as if dead. As an
old proverb expresses it, Hope IS
the yeast to the bread of life.
Without hope, who would ever make
effort to accomplish anything? Hope
is the important part OF every
earnest endeayor. While we pursue
our daily labor the hope of reward,
of appreciation, Of the satisfaction in
accomplishing a good work, some
thing of worth in the world, sustains
us. Hope serves the body and gives
courage to the heart.
The hope of Others for US is often
a restraining influence. The I'M
doubling hope Of mother for her
child has often been force keeping
him from evil ways and an incentive
for striving to do right. The hope
of Others for one has been the means
to keep many one in the path of
rectitude.
Hope is the best supplement- to
