The chicora is another kind Of Mi.

West Indies, but the natives Of ,bose
islands Go not regard it as Dangerous
The meat OF the chicOra is not 1T nr
safe to eat at certain times OF tho

sometimes use pieces Of the fish yhich
have been caught to poison rats. The

The mcIetta, or tropical herring. is

found all along the Atlantic coast AZ
far north as New York. Within re.
cent Years there have been several
cases in which people have died after

The mcletta. which is found in East

ring which is comparatively harmless.
The poisonous kind has a black SPOT
on the dOrSal fin, while the other has
not this mark. The poisonous meletta
resembles a herring, being five or six
inches long, with Silyery scales and a
bluish-grecn back. Some fish are Poi
SonOus at certain seasons Of the year
and at other times Wholesome. And,
finally, as a note of warning, we say
that visitors to the tropical countries
should take no risk Of eating fish
which are not known to be safe as well
as palatablG.

II VELVET BEAN.

J. F.. Ennis in southern RuraliSt.
note with pleasure the article on
the velvet bean by Minnie &. Mills.
This bean has been quite generally
cultivated in this section Of Florida
as an ornamental climber, giving
shade and beautiful flowers in pro-
fusion. Recently it has been di>cov-
cred to lie Of great value as a forage
plant. 1t is a more rampant grower
than the field pea, doing well on ordi-
nary high pine land with little or nc
fertilization.
All animals seem to like the foliage,
especially the sheep, who will leave all
other grasses and vines for the bean.
| planted a small quantity last sea
son and was amazed at the result, In
this plant | see the way open not only
to raise the forage and grain we need
for our stock. but to enrich my hIgl
land without much expense for com.
mcrcial fertilizers. The bean cdn bc
planted in hills similar to corn, and
at any date after danger Of frost Is

GIVE US SENATOR BRUCE.

From The indianapolis Freeman.
Nine-tenths of the masses of the col
ored people recognize Senator Bruce
as the strongest and most available
man for Register of the Treasury.
His appointment would cement all
the discordant elements and leave the
least amount of bitterness in the hearts
of the disappointed. He belongs to
no faction. He represents no especial
clique or interest. He stands for all
the people, and. is the nearest ap.
proach the race has yet had to real
statemanship. For many years the
names of Douglass and Bruce were
linked as our best loved Chieftains.
Douglass is gone, and Bruce is the nat
ural legatee of the veneration and
respect which the masses felt for both.
Bruce is national character in every
sence of the word and it is impossible
to narrow him to locality. His friends
are everywhere, and if he has enemies
they are unable to offer logical rea-
son why and therefore do not enter
the equation. State questions of local
considerations properly have no bear
ing upon his selection.
