AN EXTRAORDINARY FEAT.

An extraordinary feat Of courage
and coolness was performed by John
Clements, who was cast away in 4
dory only last summer on the Labra.
dor Banks. On July n, when the
schooner Protector was just beyond
the straits of Belle Isle. Clements and
George Johnston. another Of the crew,
were out in 3 dory together. The fog
shut down suddenly and shut them on
from their ship. They rowed about for
hours trying to and her, as there were
no other craft In that region. and land
was thirty miles away. When night
came on they determined to make for
tho coast before the polar current
swept them south. They were without
food and water and the ocean was
filed with icebergs.
The morning came at last with q
bright sun and breeze. and they set q
sail for q few hours. But a storm
followed, and by nightfall the boat
was half full Of water and lying to a
drag, the rain pouring down and both
men bailing their hardest. As the
third night approached without sight
of land Johnston last heart and eban'
doned the oars. Clements held on m
I'll his mate became delirious and
threatened to Jump overheard.
Then Clements. being the stronger
overpowered Johnston and tied him uT
In the bottom of the boat, an operation
which, from their struggles, nearly
swamped her. After daybreak Glenn
ents got out the oars again and al
noon reached the shore, landing In 0
little cove. Here he found q brook
that gave Johnston refreshing draft
besides meal OF fresh roots and ber
ries. This restored the latter and
Clements cut him loose. Then they
started to coast south, and in the after
noon were picked mp by a Newfound
land schooner. r.--Leslie's Monthly.

OLD FOLKS OF MORMON CHURCH

An Interesting Gathering Of Adhsr.

A recent dispatch from Salt Lake

folks Of the Mormon Church which
had just been held at American Fork.
OF the old people present forty-ono
were above the age Of 90; 1853 were
over 80 and under 90, and GIT OF them
were more than 70 and under 30 years
old. They had a banquet whereat
they devoured sixty bushels Of green
peas, 300 chickens, $50 pounds of ham,
twenty bushels OF potatoes ten bush.
els Of cherries. 100 large cakes, 800
loaves Of bread and the "trimmings'
appropriate to such meal, Some Of
these persons were members Of the
Mormon organisation when Joseph
Smith was at its head, and all OF them
lived under and recognized the leader.
ship Of Brigham Young. The aggre-
gate age of the S18 men and women at
this gathering was 88,414 years, and
they have 48,7SO descendAnts--a show
ing which ought to delight Mr.. Roose-
velt. But there Is nothing in:the last
figures to discourage the people Of
other States from essaying the biblical
injunctions to multiply and replenish
the earth. True, these Utah people
have established prolific standard, and
one that will be difficult to live up to;
but 1t must be remembered that the
Mormons had advantages which are
denied to people Of other States by
law. -

FIRST PLANTING OF spoNoEs

suceossful Experiments Made By the
Government on Florida Coast.
Not content with utilizing all the
available resources in the United
States for the purpose Of supplying the
needs Of the people Of this country,
Uncle Sam has Invaded the sea, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. The gov
ernment has gone In for sponge
culture. The supply Of spOnges has
never eQualed the demand, and
we have been importing most Of
those required for the domestic
trade. According to the enthusi-
tic trade. According to the enthusi-
asts OF the United States Fish Com
mission, the American invasion OF Eu-
rope soon win add sponges to it, list
Of commodities.
Successful experiments have been
conducted. and the actual work Of
planting sponges on the coast Of Flori.
da is being done under the supervision
Of Captain James A. Smith. OF the
Fishhawk. The sponges used In the
propagation are OF the sheepshead va
riety. the most valuable in the world.
and which all every commercial re

Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries.
devised the method OK planting.
The sponges are cut into small
pieces from one to two inches In d.
ameter. These small fragments Of the
living sponge. which are dark in color.
the pores filed with fshy matter. are
firmly fastened to pieces Of coral. rock
or terra Gotta brick and dropped over
board. Thin aluminium wire Is used
for fastening them to the objects. The
use Of the aluminium wire Is the solu-
tion Of the diflculty which confronted
the exper4menters. The pieces of
sponge have one outer skin intact, with
the outer edges raw. The latter. how
ever. quickly heal. The aluminium
wire viii. of course. pierce the sponge
and form a small bore. or hole. through
them. The wire corrodes; but this Is
an advantage. for 1t gradually wears
away. leaving the sponge free of any
foreign substance.
Most Of the difficulties attending the
culture have been met In attempting
to nnd something to bind the sponges
to the rocks which would last long
enough for the growth to attach itself
naturally TO the new bed. The alumni
mum wire does this. Wood, string. cop
per and iron wire and various other
substances were attacked by the salt
water and animal life and rendered
useless.
Sponges are being planted at Bis
cayne bay. Anciote Keys and Key
West. An effort will be made to put
the new industry on Its feet so that
private capital will become interested
In carrying it on. There is every rea-
son to believe that the venture will
be successful and that In a short time
all the sponges needed in the United
States viii be raised in Florida wa
ters.

There were two nice little women in
our village who came to call on us
one evening, and we offered them pop
corn which the children had just
brought In from the kitchen. They re-
fused, but not SO emphatically as to
keep us from giving them two heap
ing plates of the corn. We kept re-
filing the plates and they kept crunch
ing all the evening. There was some
thing so funny about 1t that / called
them the popcorn ladies' and the
name has stuck to them so that the
whole village knows them by 1t.
Il once knew q man who talked
incessantly in high-pitched voice and
bright girl dubbed him the chirper.'
The name was quickly passed around
among the young people, and now the
greater part Of his friends know him
by that name. A very digniHed young
woman of my acquaintance goes by
the name Of 'Whont' to this day be-
cause when she was very little girl
she used to call herself Mrs. Whont'
when she played grown-up ladies, and
the family picked It up. She simply
can't shake the absurd name.

an acquaintance who holds a respon-
sfble position who is known by the
name of 'Dotty.' It seems that ono
day a mischievous girl discovered that
he had three very prominent dimples.
She promptly dubbed him 'Dotty
Dimple,' and now he Is known to all
his associates as 'Dotty.' Another man
of my acquaintance is always called
'Bluebeard' because he has such a very
white and thin skin that If he does
not shave daily his beard shows blue
through It. That name. too, came
through a woman's quick wit.
"An old lady friend Of mine is still
crlled 'Peachy' because when she was
young girl she had a complexion
like peaches and cream. Her brother
promptly dubbed her 'peachy, and
'Peachy' she will remain to the end
Of her days. In certain household
a very feminine little woman Is still
called The Boy because when she
was young girl she went through a
very serious illness which made II nec-
essary to cut her hair short. Her
younger sister said she was The Boy
Of the family, and the dainty lady is
still called by that absurd name.

It Associates with the Animals la Or.
der TO Find Insects.
The cowbird is black and a little
smaller than the red-winged blackbird.
There are three species, two of which
the common and red-eyed-migrate to
our Northern States and are found as
sociated together. The male Of the
common cowbird has head and neck
Of deep wood-brown, while the red
eyed Is wholly black and very lus-
rrous. The females are smaller than
the males and duller in color, although
the red-eyed female is quite black.
The bird receives Its name from its
association with cows, beside which
1t feeds, snatching up the insects that
are disturbed by their heavy tread.
About half a dozen usually attend q
single animal or a bunch of cattle,
part of which may be Of one species
and part Of the other. Indeed, the
two associate together as peacefully
as though they were Of the same spe-
cies.
The most serious Indictment against
the cowbird is that 1t builds no nests
and does not rear Its own family. Its
eggs are laid in the nests Of green
lets, warblers, fnches and other
blackbirds, most of which are smaller
than itself. OF the first FIVE red-wings'
nests examined in 1902, four contained
the eggs Of the cowbird. The summer
warbler was one day found burying
the detestable egg in the bottom of her
nest, together with one of her own.
Two orchard orioles nests, not fifty
feet apart, each contained the egg Of
the parasite, probably of the same
breed Country Life In America.
