The swordish come to American

This fact has been clearly set out by
a government report on the subject,
reports the Hartford Courant. The
young are found chiefly in the Mediter-
rauean. After they are able to go it
alone more or less of them strike for the
North American coast-most of these

they lie and sun themselves on the top
of the water, the prey all summer of the
fishermen and their spears. What in
stinct brings these fish across 5000
miles of water to spend a season and re-
turn?
The swordfish is a favorite sea food
here in New England. Boston is its
CHEF market. but it sells Wei all about

flavor. and very edible. New York, how

goodnight TO her, for Paul and kittie
were the best of friends. She was the
only bit of outside life that Paul was
ever friendly with. Every night for
weeks kittie has crept shyly up in
front Of the bars Of her old lion lover S
home, aud when She mewcd to him he
came forward and put his great shaggy
head as close to her as he could, and
they carcssed each other.
The other night when kittie came,
and, rubbing anNiously against the
bars, moved all softly TO her jungle
lover to came and say goodnight, Paul
just lay still, his head between his
paws and didn't notice her at all. Tired

But there was no response. Then kit

Strong odor Pcrceptible.
About three-quarters of the garlic
used in this country is imported fro,n
Italy. 1T comes in hampers containing
about 10 pounds each. Garlic, says the
New York Sun, is raised in this couutry
in Connecticut, in Louisiana, in TEXAS
and i'm New Mexico. All garlic, both Inn
ported and American, is put up in
strings or punches, something ike the
punches in which onions were once
sold in this country, but much longer.
American garlic is shipped in crates
and barrels; some from the far SOUTH
west comes in long cylindrical baskets.
Garlic is sold by the pound, or by the
single bulb. which is sold for penny.
In its commercial form. whole and dry,
garlic does not yield the strong smell
for which ii is famous. In wholesale
produce establishment where garlic
was stacked up in quantities there was
no noticeable odor from it, But if one
of the several smaller bulbs of which
each root are composed and which are
called cloves Of garlic he broken off and
broken in two the powerful odor be-
comes perceptible.
The aggregate consumption Of garlic
in this country is large. and our ex-l
ports of it to South American coun-
tries, which include American garlic
and imported garlic reshipped amount
to enough TO be reckoncd in tons.
