The Bahama Sponge Trade.
The number of persons engaged in the
sponge trade of the Bahama Islands is
from 5,000 to 6,000, part of whom,
cept the ship-owners, brokers and skip-
The sponges
are gathered by means of iron hooks at-
tached to long poles. By using a water-
glass, the fishermen can readily discover
the sponges at the bottom,
with his pole and hook he will bring up
those he may select as fit for his purpose
leaving -the smaller ones untouched.
| Some sponges adhere firmly to the bed of
the sea, while others—known
lers’’—are not attached at all.
ten years ago, an attempt was
introduce
that they would ruin the beds, and a law
was passed forbidding their use. The
vessels are provided and fitted out, as a
rule, for a voyage of about six weeks,
and generally from six to eight voyages
are made in the year. It is difficult to
estimate the average catch per trip, as
the cargoes vary greatly in size and val-
ue. Of the larger sponges, a
5,000, or of the smaller ones 7,500, would
be considered a fair lot. Occasionally a
eargo of from 12,000 to 15,000
sponges has been brought in,
success exceptional. Contradictory
statements are made as to the time

Petrolatum as an Excipient for Pills.
Petrolatum is frequently recommended
use in

An associate recently expressed the be-
lief that was quite unfit for the purpose,
and to test the matter fairly a mixture of
the two substances was set aside.
After a few weeks the mixture assum-
ed a purple tint, but the permanganate
was 3 to all appearances well preserved,

Distinguishing Antipyrin and
Antifebrin.
The addition of potassium nitrite and
sulphuric acid develops agreen coior with
antipyrin in solution, but not with anti-
| febrin solutions. This reaction has been
recommended as a ready test for distin-
guishing between the two substances
when in doubt.
Potassium nitrate is rarely to be found
in drug stores, and its extemporaneous
preparation is attended with some little
inconvenience. It will, therefore, be
gratifying to employ, as a regent, solu-
tion or tincture of ferric chloride, which
quickly distinguishes between the two
substances under consideration by form-
inga deep red color with antipyrin in
solution, but not with antifebrin.

Decrease in the Sale of Antiingrin.
From the National Druggist.
The sale of antipyrin, so we are in-
formed by wholesale druggists whom we
have recently interviewed, has
in a remarkable manner. The demand
for the article to-day not one-third
what it was a year ago, and some jobbers
place the ratio even higher than that.
While not the cure-all at first represented,
however, antipyrin has proven itself a
reliable antipyretic, and will always be
resorted to for the purpose of lowering
the temperature, until something better
is found.

Understood Woman Nature.
From the New York World.
I was investigating a lot of old relies
in a second-hand store on lower Sixth
avenue when acolored woman came in
and enquired for a second-hand coal
stove.
‘-Certainly, ma’am—hundreds to select
from,’’ replied the dealer. ‘Il have
my man waiton you at once. How high
did you want to go, ma’am?”’
‘“‘Not very high.’’
“Then show her those three stoves
which that millionaire on Fifty-ninth
street burned one winter and then sold
because he was going to Italy on a three
years’ trip.”’
“Yes, sir,”’ replied Henry.
“And if none of them suit her show
her the $4 stoves I got of that heiress on
Fifth avenue last week because her trim-
mings didn’t match her earpets.”
The woman took a ‘Fifth avenue
stove,’? and she was only seven minutes
looking it over, paying cash down and
getting out of the store.

How to Keep a Pen.
One of the chief woes of a writer, says
the Book-keeper, consists in the fact that
he no sooner gets a pen in good working
order than it, like the ‘‘dear gazelle,’’
; comes to an untimely end from the cor-
rosion caused by the ink. Life is not
long enough to use and mend pens, nor
|to apply with delicate firmness the pen-
wiper toasteel one. But some genius
has now hit upon a solution of the diffi-
jculty, which has the merit of extreme
| simplicity. In many offices, we are in-
'the juicy fiber holds the pen steady,
| removes at once all ink from the nib, and

This general- |
| prevents, or at least very greatly delays, |
the process of corrosion, and

Pleased with the Cash Plan.
SoutH Arm, Dec. 29—We have been
| doing a strictly cash business since last
September, and are much pleased with
; the result. We only issue coupon books
when parties have labor, logs, wood,
bark, ete., to their credit. We shall con-
tinue to sell for cash only, as we have

| We have compared our cash sales for the
last three months with our cash and
credit sales of the three months one year
ago, and find we have made a net increase
| in our sales of over 10 per cent. We are
correspondingly happy.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
At the afternoon session reports from
the Vice-Presidents of the various con-
gressional districts were received, also
reports from the chairmen of the several
regular committees, all of which were
accepted.
J. A. Gonzales, of Grand Rapids, pre-
sented an explanation of his resignation
from the Hotel Committee, giving as his
reason the interference of the chairman
of the Board of Directors.

J. D. Aldrich, of Detroit, was intro-
duced by the President and addressed
the convention in support of a commer-
cial travelers’ home, which it is proposed
to erect and maintain at some convenient
point in New York.
J. W. Ailes, of Detroit, suggested that
an affiliated organization be constituted
for the wives and sweetbearts of mem-
bers, to be known as the Ladies’ Home
Circle.
Jno. J. Bush, of Lansing, observed that
if all the sweethearts of the members be
included in the proposed organization, it
would be necessary to secure an
torium in which to hold the meetings.
