world In Great Britain, where his lnhu-
ence has been for many years 50 widely eX-
tended, there a no one who can tilI his
place. His was one Of the great Original
minds II this country. His opinion ou
every vital question Of the day was always
anxiously sought for.
Mr. Mill was born IN 1906 Early w

education. His father. James Mil. was "A
distinguished writer On philosophy ana
metaphysics. The name uf John Stuart
Mill is as familiar to every student uf
metaphysics Or logic as that of Sir William
Hamilton or that Of Emanuel Kant But
he was a founder Of q new school III philos
ophy, not the follower Of an Old one or.
rather, he SO elaborated and added to his

phihious animal. 1t is found in the st.
Lucle river. 1t has a head like that of a
sea-llon, and it looks like gigantic seal.

the marshes Of the St Lucie. The men
atee has ribs as thick a mans arm. Last
year Dolph Sheldon and Frank Sans caught
one alive near the mouth Of the river, in
tending to send it North for exhibition.
The animal weighed over 900 pounds.
Unfortunately it was tied to the boat so
firmly that the rope cut into its flesh, and
It died before the party reached the head
OF Indian river. The porgles devOured
the body. Florida is the only place in
which the menatee is found on the North
American continent. Formerly it was
abundant, but is now nearly extinct, and
becomes more scarce every year. Its meat
is greatly relished, and tastes like the best
Fulton Market beef

Its mouth is filled with two ivory rocks,
and between them 1t cracks the clans ON

a fiat iron.
The mojarra is the shape Of Sleeps
head, ana has a lustrous brown shading
above the tail. 1t is as handsome as an
angel fish, and is good eating
The spade-tis also looks like Sleeps
head, but it has no hard ribs.
No TROUT N FLORIDA.
All the books on Florida declare that the
rivers are filled with trout. This is untrue.
There is not fresh-water trout in the
State. What they call trout are kind Of
black bass, trapped on troll. They have
huge mouths, and are caught by scores in
the ~. John river. A lady hooked one at
Enterprise weighing ten pounds and half.
Compared with sea fishing, however, fish
ing on the St. John is boyish sport.

AN IMPROVEMENT IN VENETIAN BLINDS
A novel application Of colored and
ground glass, instead Of wood or iron lAths,
for Venetian window blinds is worthy ~
notice. The glass strips are bound round
with brass, to preserve their edges !.
and heavy blinds are simply wound up and
down with something like a clock KEY.
The play Of colors may thus be managed
50 as to give beautiful effects outside by
night and inside by day, windows with
these blinds affixed will look as in they

hardly say, are expensive, compared with
those now generally used but where cost
