Artificial Cultivation of
An interesting investigation now
being carried on in Florida by the
bureau .of fisheries has for its ob
ject the discovery and development
of methods by which the valuable
sheep wool sponge may be cultivat
ed artificially.
The method which promises the
most satisfactory result* is that of
using cuttings. Large sheep wool
sponges'arc cut into small pieces,
which* are fastened to an insulated
wire fixed in the water, so that the
sponges arc supported a few inches
above the bottom. These small bits,
plsced at close intervals along the
wire, soon heal and form an organic
attachment to it, and very soon be
gin to grow. It is too soon to pre
dict just what the results will be,
but the indications are, so far, very
encouraging, and it is believed that
thwtime is not far distant when the
sponge fisheries of Florida will be
vastly increased in productiveness
and value. — National Geographic

Ths Cost of Govommonts. •
A table has been prepared and is
sued by the department of com

spite thp great size of th* appropria
tions, this country' is per capita
7*fae cheaply maintained than any
Uger in the world, with the excep
tion of China and India, and pos
sibly Russia. It costs, according to
this, just $7.97 a year for each man,
woman and child in the United
States to run th* government, as
against $9,30 tor Canada, $9.48 for
the German empire, $9.84 tor Swe

declining the invitation* that he had
not time to accept. But on* invita

was to occupy th* magnificent resi

The house is a showy on.. situat

California millionaires hunt their

came to have a double interest when
it was occupied by the bishop. One
s San Franciscan was showini
the group of residences to a friem
who was visiting in the city. As
they approached the “Will Crocker"
homo he sprang th* treasured joke
which he had been saving tor th*
right moment “This," said he,
with a flourish, "is Mr. Crocker’s
Pottery.”
Ho did not recognize the gentle
man who was at that moment de
scending the steps. It was the bish
op, who could not lelp overhearing
and who had a twinkle in his eye.

At a dinner given some time ago
in honor of Hall Caine,-Thomas
Nelson Pago was invited to intro
duce the Knglish novelist. One of
the guests next to Mr. Page, just
before the toasts began, passed his
menu card around the table with
the request that Mr. Caine put his
signature on it.
“That’s a good idea,” said Page.
“I must do thqj, t<*>. I’vo got to in

One of the latest stories of the
strange reasoning of negroes comes
from J. II. Stoddart, the veteran
actor, and is of an incident h* Wit
nessed in Louisiana on a tour
through that part of the country.
"I had an afternoon lay off in
this Louisiana town," said the ac
tor, “and with nothing to do roam
ed about the place. Fnially I got
to the courthouse and went in. A
negro trial was on, and a typical old
darky was on* of the witnesses. He
was fixing th* time' of the occur
rence of the trouble and said it was
half past 3 in th* afternoon.
“ 'How do you know it was half
past 3?’ demanded th* lawyer for
the other side.
“ ‘Why, I—I knowed it was half
past 8 by my watch. I knowed it,'
stammered the darky.
'Can you tell time?’ demanded
th* lawyer.
“ ‘Sure, I can tell time,’ answered
tho witness.
“‘What time is it nowP demand
ed the lawyer, pointing to the dock.
fThe darky studied th* clock tor
a minute; then, he said he did not
know what time it was. '.
““But I thought' you could tail
time,* said the lawyer, with anger.
“ ‘Well, I can tdl time, boss, by
my watch,’ said the darky, ‘but 1
van’t tell no time by no clock.*"
On. Thing Clark Pargst
A call for a minister was about
to be issued in Champ Clark's horn*
town in Missouri, says the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York
World. It was made, and when tb*
minister arrived the church commit
tee found the minister and Repre
sentative Clark wero old school
mates. They went to him and ask
ed him about the new minister.
"He’s a good man,” said Mr.
Clark. “He will infuse new life
into the church and is ono of the
most ^ociablo fellows I ever met.
He is eloquent, tells a good story
of the right kind and will be quite
an addition to our town.”
The committee started to leave,
feeling very good over having made
such an excellent selection, when
Clark called them back, saying:
“Oh,-I forgot to tell you that Dr.
Blank is fierce when ho gets drunk.

A Humorous Sheriff.
Jack Steel used to be sheriff down

trict in Missouri, and'Mr. Dougher
ty tells this story on him:
“Tho county judge was a man
weighing 300 pounds. Steel, who
kept the local hqtel, summoned a
jury for a term, and not one of the
jurors weighed less than 280 pounds.
