The tarpon is the Megalops atlanticus
of naturalists, member of the family
Elopid@, and may be considered a gi-
gantic herring. They have a wide geo.
graphical range from the extremity of
the Florida reef to Cape Cod, two speci-
mems having been captured in the lat
ter locality in 1874. From May to Sep
tember they are extremely common in
the northern streams of Florida, seek
ing the warmer waters of the reef and
the more southern inlets during the
winter. Large ones are the rule, aver
aging $50 pounds in weight and from
five to seven and half feet in length,
while their maximum length is said to
be over eight feet, and their weight
300 pounds.
The smallest specimen observed in
the st. Johns river, according to a
careful observer, weighed sixty-eight
pounds, and its capture was effected in
a manner that illustrates the agility OF
the species. 1t leaped aboard the
steamer Water Lily, clearing the guards
and landing fairly in the captains lap,
who was sitting in a chair in the middle
of the forward deck.-C. F. Holder In

NEW YORK HAS NO SPRING.

Ward McAllister Tells Why the Smart"
Set Leaves the City in April.
New York. it seems to me, has never
before been so dull at this season of the
year." recently said Ward McAllister,
always careful and judicious observer
of occurrences in the social world. II
don't remember when there has been
such an exodus Of fashionable people in
April as there was this year, and this is
only the beginning of it too. When per-
sons get rich they want the best of
everything, and they can afford to have
it. Climate is very important factor
in ones enjoyment. The opera season
lasts through December, January and
February, and in March, April and May
people leave the city for the south or for
Europe.
zone reason for this hegira, which is
getting worse every year, is that the
ocean is now crossed by such magnificent
steamers. Not only are they beautiful
to the eye, but they are comfortable, and
the danger of illness is minimized, there
is so little motion. Besides, so many
fashionable people cross at this season of
the year that one is sure of agreeable
companionship. These Injuries are
costly, it is true, for friend of mine
had to pay $40O for a single stateroom.
The ocean is robbed Of half its disagreed
BILE features by these conveniences and
advantages.
"Then May is the finest month Of all
the year in Paris. Everybody is out of
doors, and life is a perpetual picnic
There is nothing like the Champs Elysees
in May. Paris is then full of the smart
set of New Workers, including the As
tors, the Bradley Martins and others.
One may hire carriage, with coachman
and footman in new and handsome liv-
cry, and thus present as fine an appear
ance on the roads as any one Visiting
the art galleries, dining in the cafes and
many other pleasant diversions add to
the charms of life in Paris.
eve ought to have all this display of
fine eQuipages in Central park in the
spring. but it is easy to see why we have
not. While the Octobers and Novembers
here are the finest in the world, our
| springs are the worst. In fact, we have
none at all. Winter becomes summer at
once-there is no intervening season.
| It is, therefore, natural for those in the
smart set to go abroad. where they find
more agreeable climate. It is only
within the Last one or two years that
have noticed this strong tendency among
fashionable people to do practically all
their entertaining in the city in three
| months In London the season for this
lasts only during May, June and July
after that there is an exodus to Scotland.
"In New York there is a movement to
follow this fashion, except that the time
is changed. There are now almost no
entertainments here except in December,
January and February. Then people go
to Europe, to return to Newport about
Aug. 1. All is gayety there for about
six weeks, or until the middle of Sep
tember, and then the tide begins to how
back to the city."-New York Tribune.

Tuesday evening w. T. Reeves, man
ager of the Postal Telegraph company
in this city, found that from some rea-
son his wires did not work between this
point and Greensboro. EARLY Wednes-
day morning Mr.. Reeves hired team
from one Of our iverymen, D. B. Jack
son, and started out on an investigat-
ing tour. When within six miles of
Greenesboro he found two mammoth
snakes Of the coach whip variety hang
ing across the two wires in such a man
ner as to connect the currents of each.
The snakes had been killed, tied to-
gether and hung out to bring rain, the
work being done by darhes in the neigh
borhood.
Whether their snakeships had any
communication with his honor, Mr..
Clerk-of-t the Weather, or not it was
raining hard when they were taken
down from the wires. Mr.. Reeves
says that if the hanging up Of these
snakes brought rain he cheerfully loses
the two dollars for his team, the time he
consumed and the dinner he failed to
get.-Georgia Madisonian.

Garden Hints.

Very fine flower seeds when planted
should be very lightly covered. If be-
fore they show through a heavy rain
storm threatens, cover them up with
straw or hay deep enough to prevent
heavy rain from beating the small seeds
into the soil and plastering the patch
over with q coat of mud, which, when
the sum shines, will bake and prevent the
seed from coming through. After the
storm is over rake of the covering and
you will find the surface wet, but not
muddy nor Asttened down over the seed.
All seeds must have loose soil over them
or they will die in their struggles to
come up. Watch your seedlings as you
would any other infant. An expert gar
dener never fears wet jacket nor mud
dy boots, but women should avoid both.

KENNAN'S LECTURE,
Word-Painting of the Mountaineers
the Cnucasns.

Word-Painting of the Mountaineers of
the Caucasus.
George KEENAN, delivered the third Of his
course of lectures on Russia at the Metro
politan Temple last evening, selecting at his
theme the " Mountains and Mountaineers
OF the Caucasus" The attendance was
larger than at either Of the previous lee
lures and realized the best traditions Of a
good house."
The lecturer, after describing the natural
features Of the Caucasian Range, gave tho
history OF its inhabitants, and showed how
the love Of liberty inherent In the people was
due to the fact that for many centuries past
Mongols. Romans, Greeks, Arabs and the
oppressed OF all nations have sought refuge
in its mountains and made home there.
The Caucasians live in hamlets from 5000 to
5000 feet above the sea level They are hos
pitable and fearless. and have the strange
in all lands.
MIR. KEENAN, took occasion during the lee
ture to don full suit OF Caucasian attire,
comprising fur cap, tunic OF white and
red flannel, huge boots and a cartridge belt
worn high up on the waist, from which belt
were drawn with the Quickness Of a flash
supplies for two pistols big enough to make
highbinder's '44' caliber look like a
l-boy's toy.
Pursuing his theme Mr.. KEENAN, told of his
perilous ride into the ravine with Prince
DJordJadzl, an adventure which thrilled the
entire audience; OF the great leader Shamyl
und the Caucasian War of Independence
and the peculiar customs of the people In
the matter OF eating the platters used for
serving other viands. the platters them
selves being made of flour and bread.
