-ponge trade of the Bahamas, in which
the value of the industry and the meth
ods of catching the sponges are given.
The vessels employed la the trade are
small, varying from five to twenty-five
tons, sloop or schooner rigged, and are
built ill the local shipyards. The con-
dtruction and repair of these vessels con-
•titnte an important industry In Itself.
They have small cabins for sleeping pup
pones. The cooking is done on deck.
About BOO of these vessels are engaged
in gathering s|vaiges.
The numb' of persons gathering
sponges in the Bahamas, handling them
and preparing them in various stages for
market, is from 5.000 to 0.000, all of
whom, except the shipowners, brokers
and shippers, are black people. Hands
employed in clipping, washing, packing
and preparing finally for shipment
abroad gat from fifty to seventy-five
cents par day of ten hours. The amount
earned by tha men who go fishing de
pends entirely on the number of sponges
obtained.
The owner of the vessel fits her ont at
hia own espouse, and the profits of the
voyage ere divided op In share* among
tbs owner, the master and the men.
They are never hired by the month, nor
do they ever get specified wage*. The
most thst can be said is tbst the men
make • tolerable living, and tha sponge

means of Iron hooks attached to long
poles. By nsing a waterglasa the fisher

The principal varieties gathered in tho
lahamaa are os follows: Boat, gross,
love, hardhead, reef (white and dork),
rivet (abaco and coy), sheep wool, and
cllow, of which the most valuable U
heep wool. The total - export in 1890
cached over 900,000 pounds, valued at
•106.806. The crop of that year was
hove the average, being really the most
alnable one in many years.
Of that crop there were shipped to the
nited State* 708,000, valued at $230,000.
lahama sponges are not considered very

Colonel Davis* Peculiar Luck at Fishing.
Colonel J. M. Davis lately returned
from an extended southern trip. While
at Las Vegas, N. M„ he went on a fish
ing frolic with General Miles. He en
tertained hia friends by relating his ex
perience. Conservative men pronounced
his narrative a trifle unfounded, but the
colonel swears that every Word is true.
“Talk nliont trout!” he screamed.
“You never fished unless you have
dropped your line in the cold, swift Gal-
linns river, about five miles north of the
Las Vegas hot springs.
“General Miles and 1 took out sev
enty-eight speckled beauties in one after
noon there. I got' one fellow that
weighed thirty-seven pounds, bnt it took
me foar hours to land him. tlU-m -*
“General Miles had gone back to the
springs fur his lnncheon and I was about
to follow him when I thought a row
boat had got on my hook. In a moment
I knew it wa* a monster fish.
“I’d made books on the fact that it
was a devilfish, bnt never dreamed it
was a trout.* I gave it all my line, and
the smoke was just pouring from my
reel. Presently the fish stopped and I
began to take in the line.
“This performance lasted nearly four
hours. 1 had a very small pole and line
and conld take no chances. Once I got
the fish ont of the water for a second.
He frightened me.
“I’m not natnrally a coward, bnt I
had a notion of tunning when 1 saw that
Immense thing on my book. I waa well
nigh exhausted and was about to throw
in my line when a terrific hailstorm
cams up.
“Just as a fearful blast cams down 1
jerked the tront ont of the water a few
Inches and a hngt hailstone struck him
between the eye*. He wiggled hi* tall

turned over, stunned.”—Chicago Herald.

When you hear a man say
“We’ve got a PIANO here
just as good as the IVERS

less money,” remember that
all the gnost stones have
not been told yet.
When you hear a man say
that “So-and-so” keeps a
better line of musical goods
than we do, just add one
more to your list of ghost
stories.
When you want an IVERS

its patented improvements,
see that you get it. Allow no
solicitation or specious mis
representation to switch you
off onto something inferior.
Ghost stories frighten chil

Doctor* Diner About Only Hair.
Some authorities seem to regard the
graying of the hair ns a mechanical and
incidental phenomena dne to defective
function*, and others regard it scan or
ganic or chemical process. The location
and character of tile coloring *ub*tnnc*
in the bairi* alsoa question ulmnt which
authorities differ greatly Watts' "Die
tionary of Chemistry," also Dr. Bichat
and Dr. Draper, have advanced the view
that the color is in the central portion of
the hair, while no less an authority
than Cuvier asserts quite the reverse,
that the peripheral portion contains the
color. Other authorities, as Drs. Car
penter, Todd and Bowman, state that the
pigmentary grannies are sometimes In
one part and sometimes io another of
the hair shaft, while “Koliiker suppose*
that the dark pigment of the inedolla
