A QUEER BUSINESS.
Many Strange Forms of Animal
 Life.

Saturday Post.
 There is no branch of the animal king dom. nor any corner of the world. that is not ransacked and explored nowadays for the purpose of collecting natural his- tory curiosities to supply the commercial demand. Firms dealing in such merchant disc in a large way are located in most big cities both in this country and abroad. and Judging from the comprehensiveness of their catalogues, 1t would seem as If there was nothing that flies or walks or swims that they are not prepared to fur nish on short notice at. list prices.
 One of these catalogues advertises a large assortment of Tive material. as 1t is termed. From this document one learns that he can obtain large bull frogs at $S a dozen. alive and kicking; medium-sized bull frogs are cheaper, costing only Sl.7O adults" and small ones for aauaria are offered at 9 cents each. Pond snails, lin assorted lots" are listed at D cents a dozen; crawfish cost $1 a dozen, and crawfish, it is requested that a few days notice be given in which to secure thern In case the stock should be low. No such reservation, however. is made in the casa a dozen. 1t is hafe to say that 6ny small hoy will furnish earthworms under this rate.
 Crabs are not offered alive, but in alco- hol and in this shape enc can buy sand crabs, blue craps, spider crabs. fiddler crabs, mud crabs and hermit crabs at prices running from 10 to 10 cents apiece, spider crabs being the dearest. Insects. similarly preserved. are so cheap as to tempt purchase. Squash bugs cost only 50 cents a dozen. while giant water bugs come at only half that price. Earwigs are quoted at 50 cents a dozen, and lions at 10 cents each, crickets at 50 cents q dozen. seventeen-year locusts at 10 cents apiece and June bugs at 50 cents dozen: Horsefies invite the buyer at only 10 cents the fly, true wasps" may be ob- tained for the same price, and humble bees foot the list at cents.
 In London, which is the great bug mar ket of the world, auctions of insects are held every year, and startling prices are paid sometimes for rare specimens. As much as $500 has been brought by singlo butterfly, while an out-of-the-way beetle may be valued at many times its weight in gold.

RAILROAD CHANGES
THAT WILL TAKE EFFECT ocTo-
 BIER 1ST.
MT. Smith Leaves the Mobile & Ohio. MT. Todd Leaves Plant System to Be Succeeded by
 Mir. Lifsey.

The batch of changes in local passen- ger circles stated by The Advertiser some time ago take effect Tuesday morning. :. the Mobile and Ohio has it understood severed his connection with that road and will give up railroad life altogether.
 General Agent Taylor of the Western, who has been out of the city for some weeks returned yesterday morning on the southboupd Louisville and Nashville train at Il o'clock and left at 6:S0 yes- terday afternoon for Atlanta. Some time ago it was announced that MH Taylor was to leave Montgomery on the 1st of October for St. Louis where he will rep resent the Western as he did here. It was stated then that Mir. Ben Evans, who was to succeed MT Taylor in Montgom- cry It was not learned officially yester- day if these statements were correct but 1t seems to be pretty certain that MT. the city was short yesterday and there was no opportunity to get statement from him.
 Division Passenger Agent Bob Todd sewers his connecticn with the Plant Sys- tenn Tuesday morning. Mir: w. V. Lifsey who has represented the Plant as Divi- sion Passenger Agent in Tampa TOT Sev- eral years succeeding him here. MT. LiI- sey was in Montgomery as Division Pas- senger Agent of the Plant some years ago and he is we'll known and very pop ular here. Speaking of him The Tampa Tribune says: , Agent of the Plant System, has rendered his resignation to accept more lucra- tive one with the same company Tn Northern territory with headquarters in Montgomery. He left Sunday night. for Tate Spr;r gs, where he goes to recuper- ate before assuming his new position.
 Mir Lifsey enjoys the enviable distinc- tion of being one of the most capable railroad men in the country. He Is a hard and conscientious worker, always agreeable and accommodating and a gen tIeman who was ever making friends for the Plant System. He Is so affable and suave that it is a pleasure for the trav- cling public to come in contact with him.
 During his residence in Tampa he has made many friends. There is not @ gen tIeman in the city who enjoys the confi- dence and esteem of the public more uni versally than this popular passenger agent. He Is shining light in business and commercial circles and an ornament 10 society and Is recognized as the most successful excursion manip'lator in the State During the past summer the ex- cursions that he has run in this city from all over Georgia, Alabama and South Florida have been a great stimu' lant to business activity and the busi- ness msn If Ia rpa have often expressed their appreciation to him and the Plant lars the visitors have left here in com mercial channels.
 The people of Tampa part with him reluctantly and will watch his onward rise to fame and fortune with de- gree of pleasure. wishing him all of the success that 1t is possible for his splen- did merits to achieve him.
