SHARKS FOR SOUP.
Account In CONNER
cial Way.

Commerce proposes now TO convert
the sharks of the Bay Of San Juan del
Norte, in Nicaragua. into factory
products. says a late report.
Americans have been led by the
vast number and size of the sharks
down there and the case Of catching
them into studying possible uses foI
the monsters, and they find that there
is lot OF money in sharks. Indeed,
there is hardly a part OF the brute
that cannot be utilized for something
Shark fms furnish jelly that
makes a delicious soup. There is an
excellent market for it wherever there
are Chinese. and II it were once OF.
fered as an American product IL might
not be long before Americans and 9th.
ers would relish II as much as the.
Chinese do now.
The livers OF the sharks produce q
clear oil that is very valuable, being
in great demand for watches. clocks
and fine guns. II Is held in almost as
much estimation as the oil obtained
from porpoise and dogfish liver. which
Is the finest animal oil there Is.
The skin OF sharks is of a beautiful
FURNISHED gray or blush color. II
looks like finely grained leather. be.
cause it is full Of tiny prickles, all set
one way. Under the name OF shs
green it has a variety OF uses.
Even the bones OF sharks are useful
The backbone is in constant demand
by walking-cane Manufacturers. The
teeth and jawbones are salable to col
lectors and tourists.
When the American business man
gets after the sharks in the Bay Of
San Juan del Norte there will be dis
may in the tropical fish world, for
the natives have left the monsters
practically undisturbed for centuries,
and the result is that from Greytown
north and south the sea is thronged
with sharks OF all species, ranging In
sizes from two feet to is feet and even
more.
Among them are the swift blue
sharks, the savage striped tiger
sharks, spotted leopard sharks, hid
eous hammerheads, threshers or
swingle tails. the immense, but lazy,
basking sharks, which often grow so
large that they have been mistaken
for whales.

SUMMER WILD FLOWERS.
Haunts of Birds-Nhere
to Find Them.

As a class the wild flowers of summer
differ greatly from those OF early spring.
They certainly lack the delicaey - one
might almost say the modesty-- of the
blossoms which hide so shyly am6ng
the brown leaves in the April woods.
Perhaps this is an advantage, looking
at 1t from our standpoint, says Woman s
Home Companion. Our minds are no
longer so susceptible to delicate beau
ty as they were at the dawn Of spring,
and moreover, it requires something
more brilliant-more startling. per-
haps-to attract our attention at a sea-
son when the thermometer stands at 30
degrees in the shade. And now comes
his gorgeous pageant of flowers, so
strikingly beautiful in form and coloring
that they interest us in spite of the heat,
the glare and the dust. and we enjoy our
walks. although the birds are silent and
although the foliage is darkening be-
meath the burning rays of the sun.
Naturally, the haunts of flowers differ
as much as the haunts of birds. and If
we wish to see great many species in
a single walk, we must choose our direc-
lion with view to covering a great va
riety of country. Many OF the most
beautiful blossoms are to be found az
this season along the rivers and brooks.
and in the woods through which they
wind.

He might get the wrong party, by mis-

strain on the imagination TO see
where that would land him.
That, however is not where the
great danger lies. Wen assume that

he has again treasured her on the

faith in him. and some expressions Of
unbounded affection. That's all over
