18th St. and Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington. June ia general air OF
suppressed and gloomy excitement prevailed
in the Post-Otfice Department to-day as
consequence of the publication of the reply
of J. l.. Bristow. Fourth Assistant Post
master General. to the charges of s. w
Tulloch, ex-cashier in the Washington Post
Office. The reply of Mr. Bristow is con-
coded TO he exceptionally strong.
Words were not minced and the facts
were stated in language which left no
opportunity for misconstruction. Mr.. Bris-
tow cited specific Instances of alleged
wrong doing of Perry Heath. eN-First As
sistant Postmaster General. and did not
hesitate TO blame him for conditions which
have cost the Government thousands OF
dollars through the payment of high prices
for material. or the payment OF salaries
or expenses 10 people who did no work. 81
1t was expected that Mr.. Bristows report
would be a long and important document.
but II was not anticipated he would fill
page after page with citations Of abuses of
political and official power.
on all sides the opinion was expressed
that II SO much evil could be uncovered in
the Post-ofiice Department by an investi-
CATION. which has hardly done more than
scratch the surface. then misdemeanors Of

April Il 1901. amazed even the hardened
old politicians and wire-pullers who have
long been using the department for similar
purposes.
The case of James T. Metcalf. who WAS
dismissed as superintendent of the money

Sponge Growing.

Sponges are cultivated in West In
dian waters and the Mediterranean,
In its natural state the bath or toilet
sponge is tieshy and covered with a
black skin. To obtain the light COL
ored, horny and elastic skeleton,
sponges are left in shallow sea water
for several days in a staked Enclosure
until the rotten animal matter can be
beaten out. For artificial cultivation
q living sponge is cut into small blocks,
about a cubic inch in size, with a o
don Of the outer skin on each. These,
liked to a frame Of weighted trellis-
work, are sunk into a few fathoms of
clear water, where they flourish best
on q bottom of green seaweed free
from mud. In about seven years the
cuttings grow into sponges of market
able size.

Ancient Table Manners.

A description of a dinner given in
1850 shows that there has been a vast
improvement in table manners since
then. AS a rule, n knife had to serve
for two people, and often a bowl of
soup was used by two persons. For
this reason the party giving the din.
ner arranged his guests in couples, try
Ing to place people together who would
be congenial and not adverse to this
common use of table appointments.
Spoons were seldom supplied TO the
guests, and the cup was drunk d.
rectly from the bowl, the latter usually
having side handles by which it was
held. In less refined company there
were no separate soup bowls, only one
large porringer. which was passed
around to the guests in turn. The
diners helped themselves to the pieces
OF meat they desired from the common
dish with their fingers.
Napkins were considered a luxury,
and were only provided in very aris-

An Englishman Of somewhat ques-
tionable reputation, who was criticising
the American way Of spelling, once
turned to Maurice Barrymore, the
actor, and said: I'll leave it to Mr..
