Sponge Diving in Greek Islands. In many of the Greek islands diving for sponges forms a considerable part ?f the occupation of the inhabitants. The natives make it a trade to gather these, and their income from this source is, good. Is one of the islands a girl Is not permitted to marry until she has brought up a certain number of sponges and given proof of her s'All by taking them from a certain depth. But in some of the islands this custom is reversed. The father of a marriage able daughter bestows her on the best diver among her suitors. 'He who can siay longest in the water and bring up Uie biggest cr^go of sponges marries the maid. Prohibiting Dyed Goods. Some time ago the Ameer of Af ghanistan forbid the import into his country of carpetB colored with ana line dyes. The Kashmir of Durbar has now decided to charge the h.gh duty of 45 per cent on all aniline dyes' at the frontier, and at a certain distance within the frontier to connscate and at once destroy them. By this meas ure it is hoped the beautiful arts for which the Vale of Kashmir is famous will be preserved from deterioration. Customs In Other Countries. Many' Japanese women gild their teeth. Women of Arabia stain their fingers and toes red. In Greenland women paint their faces blue and yel iow. In Iniia* the women of high castes paint ;.'aeir teeth black. A Hin doo bride is annoiur?H from head to foot with grease and saffron. Borneo women dye their hair in iantaeuc coiois?pink, green, blue and scarlet In New Holland scars, made carefully with shells, form elaborate patterns on the women's faces. In s^m? South American tribes the women draw the front teeth, esteeming aa an orna ment the black gap thus. made. New Volcanic.Island. Officers of the revenue ex'tter service were able tt explore the new volcanic island in tl;s Bogosaof group of the Bering sea, Jiltho?gh it was still very hot from the action of the volcano, which threw it up ten days prior to that. A great column ot smoke and steam continued to rise over this new born isle. At the northern end the land rises abruptly to 400 ieet, and on ^e^e8t'aw;i;ljj^t of 7w feet. Not withstanding thai t~e surface was still (warm and noft, the explore;s ascend ed to tue uun.mit. - Lslest in Fruit -A wonderful fruit has been found in the ncignborhood of the coist of the Gulf of Guinea, in Africa. It'has the power; says ar report, to 'clianBe the flavor of the most acid substance into a delicious sweetness." An official aas found it effective after a dose of quinine and adds that "if a lemon be sucked witlin two or three hours of eating one of the fruits its aciu uavor is entirely counteracted." The fruit resembles a small plum, with the seed invested in a thin, soft pulp, wherein lies the peculiar sweetening property. Deafness and Other Senses. An ear specialist insists, that deaf nesB affects all the sensea. He says .the reason for,, this- is that the [ ear Is only one servant of rue sen.jury ser vice of thi human system:, j.oss of hearing is really a partial paralysis of the brain, but owing to the ^ympK t.hetlc connection of the various aeu sory nerve centers ol the biv.in, the ethers Indirectly concerned itcvo to combat for their very Iiie i.:e demoral izing influence of the afle.:i.ed center. Animals' Love for Sea. A scientist has made some interest ing observations as to the love of dif ferent wild animals for the sea.

DANIELS 6 S Church St. Orengeburg, S. C. SAHARA GROWING DRYER, I French Observer Snys the Oasis Are Fast Disappearing. C. F. Gautier, a French explorer Ib authority for the statement that the Sahara is continuously becom ing drier to such an extent that the oases are perceptibly drying up and will dissappear altogether in a rela tively short time. He quotes histori cal records and physical signs to show that springs were at one time xiuoh more-plentiful--than-now, and that the extent of the patches where vegetation flourishes were much greater even 50 to 100 years ago. As the climate of the region has undergone no change in perhaps thousands of years, he believes that the disappearance of the water must be due to purely mechanical causes. He considers that It Is due to the continual advance of tho great sand masses to the north, thus forming an impermeable barrier a galnst the watershed of the Atlas ??tfn'taina'.?New York Sun. Cost of a London Muddy Day It has been calculated that the cost of a muddy day In London Is something like $25,000. This la not surprising, says Tit-Bits, when one remembers that no fewer than 32 tons of mud are carried about from place to place on the wheels of carts and carriages and horses' hoofs. After a wet day the dry mud brushed from people's clothing amounts to 15 tons, and a very similar amount is shaken out of tue door -mats. City mud, however, has Its good points.. The shoeblack increases bis earnings in the muddy weather, and new silk hats and dresses and boots and shoes are each and all the direct outcome of Its destructive qualities. Cnnoda's Lord Day Act.

Various Species of Roses. There are 200 species of roses In existence, though perhaps not more than 50 clearly defined families. Of these families two are of American birth.

The eagerly sought black rose 1b still unproduced, though a New York florist has a dark-red one which in some lights has the appearance of black velvet. Keeps the Careless in Tow.

She has joined the anti suffragette organization, the 'National League for the Civic Education of Women. At a luncheon the other day she said: "It isn't possible for women to do the same work as men, day in and day out, in good weather and in foul. For instance, what woman could be a postman, out in all kinds of weather and at all hours, walking miles daily?" She smiled. . "A wou-an postman would compare with a male one as the beggar com pared wfth the millionaire. '? 'You've got no grounds to envy me,' said the millionaire to the beg gar. I've got just as many troubles as you have.' " 'No doubt yer right, boss,-' said the-beggar, humbly. 'But the difficulty with me is, I ain't got nothin" else.'" A Soft Answer. A gentleman aboard a steamer run ning between Southport and Black pool, approached one of the sailors during the passage, and remarked to him: "We have a very smooth sea this morning; it is like a sea of glass. You don't always have it like this?" "No, sir,'" was. the answer; "but, you see, they knowed as how you were coming today, so the authorities at Southport telephoned to the corpora tion at Blackpool and they at once ordered out the steam-roller and roi led the sea down for the occasion. That is why it is so smooth." The Wane of the Honeymoon. "Haven't you forgotten something?" the sweet young wife called to him fror i the open doorway. He stopped and fumbled in his pock ets. "Eh. what is it?" "You-you used to kiss me when you started down town,'' she said, with a little flush on her rounded cheeks. .'?Oh, is that it?" he cried, as he re traced his steps. "There you are. And .say, I'll take enough for four morn ings ahead.- Hang.it all, there goes my car!" And hi made the gravel fly as he raced for the street crossing. Dissatisfied with Apartments. "I tell you I won't have this room," protested the old lady to the bellboy who was conducting her. "I ain't a-goin' to pay my good money for a pigsty with a measly little foldin' bed in it. If you think that jest because | I'm from the country" Profoundly disgusted, the boy cut her short. "Get in mum. Get in," he ordered. "This ain't yer room.

"A ring, eh?'* said the old colonel, I reflectively, "All righL Riug out the | old. ring in the gnu!" And he chuckled convulsively. Quick Dressing. The woman, was in her night robe, and she shrank back when the brave hreman came to carry her from the burning building. "I'm not dressed!" she protested. With great presence of mind, he | handed her a pair of shears. "Cut a foot or so off the neck of that garment, and you'll be all right! "| quoth he. brusquely.Puck. . How It Happened. "Where'd you gel the spring over coal ?" "Well, you see, I had a sure tip on a horse race." "j never, knew one of those tips to J pan out." "Neither did I. So I didn't play it.
