| The west coast O. Florida furnishes
an abundance of the genuine sardine
and from samples taken from Apa-
lachicola bay by experts this opinion
has been formed. The American sar-
dine, as it is called, canned in the
eastern states, is not a sardine, any
small fish procurable being used for
the purpose and labelled sardines
Fishermen here tell us that they have
often seen large schools of sardines
in this bay, they being so plentiful at
times that they could fill a boat with
them-just as fine as the sardine can
ned in France. -Apalachicola Times.

The monster devil fish are again
making life burden to the boatmen
on the bay at Tampa. They have
abounded in those waters for several
months past, and are more aggressive
than heretofore. A few days ago

monsters attacked the boat, and il

These spots are believed to afford an
example of protective markings perpet-
uateo by natural selection. They seem
to have been acquired Mt q comparative
~ recent period, when the dog had be.
conc semjdomesticated. The original
dog was red and did not possess these
spots. When he slept, he hid himself
from possible enemies, but this the
sen,idomesticated dog could not always
do. Now, when the color changed BY
dc nestication and selected breeding,
and dogs became pied and black, those
which had spots over their eyes would
lock when asleep rs though their eyes
were open and a,ill on watch. There
fore their enemies would be deceived.
and they would be less liable to be kill
ed during sleep than dogs which had
no such spots. Thus they survived and
transmitted their popularity to their
offspring. These spots are supposed to
be the most, if not the only, pern'a-
nent markings Oh dogs. San Francisco

It was only when I overheard the minute instructions for it's immediate and proper serving-it was passed to an epicure at the next table to mine-that was undeceived, and it was not long before discovered that such fish formed one of the chief attractions of the place. 1 then began to watch, from where I sat, the small boy who, in the cen ter of tho caie, presided over the fountain under the blazing gas jets dipping his net into tho marble lined pool, chasing the lodging fish round and round, until some unlucky victim of the right size slipped into the mesh and was Topped, wriggling, on a plate. The sight had rather dulled my appetite. I would as soon have or dered its mate as would have thought of driving in a spring lamb and carving out a brace of chops while the little fellow waited. had the curiosity, however, to inquire the price of this gastronomical lux ury. It equaled that of two bottles of ex- tra dry, tho price being tho same to pom- moners and to kings-F Hopkinson Smith in Harper's Magazine.
