The most wonderful snowstorms OF

The Adirondacks are those that prevail
when the sky is cloudless. OF these
there are several varieties. Every week

Sponges grow in odd, fantastic
shapes. Some of them have an over
growth resembling huge warts. There
are some suggesting hands, hats and
figures OF idols. These are curiosltes
and not marketable for practical use.
In trimming them into shape many
small sponges are made which are
used for children's states, for black
ing 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 1t is worthless, but as an
exhibit 1t is valued at 500.
The best sponges are imported from
the Mediterranean, although Florida
produces very fire varieties. These
vary in price from cent to $50
apiece, although occasionally fine
specimens bring $50 a pound. The
best Of these are used in surgical OPP
erations.
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.

On the eve of the fete. shortly after

suddenly startled from their slumbers
by a loud voice in the house calling:
"There's a man in the house, There's

The valiant pater familias rushed
from his room. bearing in his hands
heavy billet of firewoOd, to learn the
cause of the disturbance and to cap

Sarcasm That Failed.

A certain Englishman by birth who
b an American by force OF circum-
stances has been In this country long
enough to absorb the American idea
of humor. Last summer he was IN
London on a visit and happening TO
have business with a man on an up
per floor Of a tall building took the
'lift' to reach his office. The elevator
was one of those excessively deiiber-
ate British affairs, and its snail-like
progress annoyed the Americanized
Briton. The only other occupant OF
the car was middle aged English
man. with a manner Of peculiarly
English seriousness. The man from
America ventured to address him.

provement in this lift" he said.
The Englishman looked seriously In
terested.
Howl he asked.
why" the other man went on, I'D
make it go faster by simple little ar
rangement. I'd stop the lift altogeth-
er and move the building up and
down"
The Englishman looked slightly
more interested.
"How" he asked.

A Curious Indian Custom.

In the original settlements in British
Columbia a peculiar institution occa-
stoned gala times for the red men now
and then. This was the "potlatch," a
thing to us so foreign, even in the i'm
pulse Of which 1t is begotten, that we
have no word or phrase to give its
meaning. 1t is feast and merrymak-
ing at the expense of some man who
has earned or saved what he deems
considerable wealth, and who desires
to distribute every iota Of it at once
in edibles and drinkables among the
people Of his tribe or village. He does
this because he aspires to a chieftaln-
ship or merely for the credit Of pot
latch" a high distinction. Indians
have been known to throw away such
a sum of money that their 'potlatch"
has been given in a huge shed built
for the feast, and blankets and orna-
ments have been distributed in addl-
ton TO the feast.

Terrific Thunder.

The largest rainfall on earth has been
recorded at Chera PunJi, on the bay or
Bengal, but the most violent thunder
storms ever observed are probably
those Of French Guiana. At Cape Or
ange, some forty miles south of Cay
enne, a French naval officer saw the
rills OF the coast hills turned into wa
terfalls by a cloudburstlike Storm
while the crashing thunder peals were
incessant and often almost deafening,
so much so, indeed, that some OF the
sailors began to mutter long forgotten
prayers, probably thinking the day OF
Judgment near at hand.

The Wends, who. we believe, are the
ancestors Of the modern Prussians, are
the center of many legends. The Pied
Piper of Hamelin was Wend; so also
was the piper Of the Harz mountains

played unearthly tunes and whatsoever
heard at once fell into frenzy, from
which there was no escaping. All these
pied and weird pipers assembled once

A Table Decoration.

At banquet given recently in Paris
by a French countess the guests re-
ceived a most astounding surprise. In
the center of the table was what ap-
peared to be a huge pile Of roses, and
just before soup was served the roses
parted, disclosing a large birdcage.
This suddenly opened, revealing a
beautiful young lady adorned with
wings. She remained in her strange
position during the dinner and intro
duced each new dish by singing a
couplet.
