NICKNAMES

corn which the children had just

fused, but not so emphatically as to
keep MB from giving them two heap
ing plates of the corn. We kept re
filling the plates and they kept crunch
ing all the evening. There was some
thing so funny about- It that I called
them the popcorn ladies,' and the
name bas stuck to them so that the
whole village knows them by It

Incessantly in a high-pitched voice and
a bright girl dubbed him the chirper.'

FIRST PLANTING. OF SPONGES.
Saccstaafnl Experiment Made by tbe
Qoverasneat on Florida Cones.
Not content with ntillalng all the
available resources In the United
States for the purpose of supplying tbe
needs of the people of this country,
Unci Sam bas Invaded the aen, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. The gov
ernment baa gone In for sponge
culture. The supply ot sponges has
never equaled the demand, . And
we have been Importing moat of
those required tor tbe domestic
trade. According to the enthusl
tlc trade. According to the enthusi
asts of the United States Fish Com
mission, the American Invasion of Eu
rope soon will add sponges to Its list
ot commodities.
Successful experiments have been
conducted, and the actual work of
planting spongee off tbe coast ot Flori
da la being done under the supervision
of Captain James A. Smith, of the
K lab hawk. The sponges used In tbe
propagation are of the aheepahead va
riety, the most valuable In the world,
and which fill every commercial re
quirement Dr. EL F. Moore, assistant
Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries,
devised the method of planting.
The sponges are cut Into small
pieces from one to two Inches In di
ameter. These small fragments of the
living sponge, which are dark In color,
the pores filled with fishy matter, are
firmly fastened to pieces of coral, rock
or terra cotta brick and dropped over
board. Thin aluminum wire la used
for fastening them to the objects. The
use of the aluminum wire Is the solu
tion of the difficulty which confronted
the experimenters. The pieces of
sponge have one outer skin Intact, with
the outer edges raw. The latter, how
ever, quickly heat The aluminum
wire wilt of course, pierce the sponge
and form a small bore, or hole, through
them. The wire corrodes; but this Is
an advantage, for It gradually wears
away, leaving the sponge free of any
foreign substance.
Most of the difficulties attending the
culture have been met in attempting
to find something to bind the sponges
to tbe rocks which would last long
enough for the growth to attach itself
naturally to the new bed. The alumi
num wire does this. Wood, string, cop
per and Iron wire and various other
substances were attacked by the salt
water and animal life and rendered
useless.
Sponges are being planted at Bls
cayne bay, Anclote Keys and Key
West An effort will be made to put
the new industry on Its feet so that
private capital will become interested
In carrying It on. There Is every rea
son to believe that the venture will
be successful and that In a short time
all the sponges needed In tbe United
States will be raised in Florida wa

HABITS OF COWBIRD.
It Associates with the Animals la Or
der to Find Insects.
The cowblrd Is black and a little
smaller than the red-winged blackbird.
There are three species, two of which
the common and red-eyed -migrate to
our Northern States and are found as
sociated together. The male of tbe
common cowblrd bas a head and neck
ot deep wood-brown, while the red
eyed is wholly black and very lus
trous. The females are smaller than
tbe males and duller In color, although
the red-eyed female Is quite black.
The bird receives Its name from Its
association with cows, beside which
It feeds, snatching up the Insects that
are disturbed by their heavy tread.
About half a dozen usually attend a
single animal or a bunch of cattle,
part of which may be of one species
and part of the other. Indeed, the
two associate together as peacefully
as though tbey were of the same spe
cies.
The most serious Indictment against
the cowblrd Is that It builds no nests
and does not rear Its own family. Its
egga are laid In the nests of green
lets, warblers, finches and other
blackbirds, most of which are smaller
than itself. Of the first five red-wing'
nests examined In 1902, four contained
the eggs of the cowblrd. The summer
warbler was one day found burying
the detestable egg In the bottom of her
nest together with one of her own.
Two orchard orioles' nests, not fifty
feet apart each contained the egg of
the parasite, probably of tbe same
breed. Country Life in America.

An eitrsordlnary feat of courage
and coolness was performed by John

dory only last summer off tbe Labra
dor Banks. On July 21, when the
schooner Protector was Just beyond
the straits ot Belle Isle, Clements and
George Johnston, another of the crew,
were out In a dory together. The fog

hours trying to find her, aa there were
no other craft In that region, and land
was thirty miles awsy. When sight
came on tbey determined to make for
the coast before the polar current
swept them south. They were without
food and water and tbe ocean was
filled with Icebergs.
Tbe morning came at last with a
bright sun snd breeze, and tbey set a
sail for a few hours. But a storm
followed, and by nightfall the boat
was half full of watsr and lying to a
drag, the rain pouring down and both
men balling their bardest. As tbe
third night spproacbed without sight
of land Johnston last heart and aban
doned tbe osrs. Clements held on un
til bis mate became delirious and
threatened to Jump overboard.
Then Clements, being the stronger,
overpowered Johnston and tied blm up
lu tbe bottom of tbe boat, an operation
which, from their struggles, 'nearly
swamped her. After daybreak Clem
ents got out tbe osrs again and at
noon reached the ahore, landing In a
little cove. Here be found a brook
that gavo Johnston a refreshing draft,
besides s meal of fresh roots and ber

Clements cut blm loose. Then they
started to coast south, and In the after
