SHOOTS TOE TO DODGE SCHOOL.
TweIve-Year-OId Resorts to Heroic
Measures.

Waverly, Iowa, May 1. = Rather
than go to school Clyde Mishler, twelve
years old, shot himself through the
great toe with a target rife. The boy,
it is said, had had some trouble with
his teacher and had been threatened
with punishment. This seemed to
prey upon his mind, and when his par
ents refused to allow him to remain
away from school the lad secured a
target rifle, and placing the barrel
close to his foot, sent bullet through
his toe. The wound, while not serious,
was sufficiently so to answer the pur-
pose of the boy, and he has not been
to school since.

A Sponge r

II know Of several sponge farms in
the Mediterranean that pay WELL" said
a druggist. 1.-THE sponge in the past
was always gathered wild, like the
clam. It is only Of late years that a
tame or cultivated sponge "a farm
product like the OYSTER appeared. The
world owes sponge farms and sponge
farming to Professor Oscar Schmidt, a
Syrian. Schmidt some years ago made
a study Of sponges. He selected a
good place in the bed of the sea, and,
breaking of pieces Of living sponge, he
planted them. The result was excel
lent. The planted sponges grew well
or better than the wild. At a cost Of
$45 Schmidt raised 1000 sponges worth
$1,000. Oysters are cultivated. Lob
sters are cultivated. Pearl bearing
oysters are cultivated. Sponges are
cultivated. Mark me, it won't be long
before coral and whales will be cult.
vated-before the sea, like the land,
will be owned and farmed by man.
