THE PALATE vs. THE EYE.

New 1ork EVening Post.
 The story is told that some years ago a Pacific coast salmon packer learned that there was an excellent market for canned fish among the negroes of the Gulf States, ard undertook to secure share of this trade for his own product An experienced salesman was therefore sent to Louisiana. He. on finding that canned codfsh was the staple, saw an easy task ahead of him. He explained to the shop-keepers how much richer and more toothsome his salmon was. and they accordingly laid In a stock and recommended the goods to their customers. But it appeared that the codfish with which those same custom CTS were familiar had the habit of turn ing rusty when old. Red fish had with them come to mean unfitness for food The buyers opened the cans, found the contents red, threw them away, and re- fused to buy any more. The skillful salesman's further efforts were unavail- ing But there Is taken among the high grade salmon an inferior fish known as dog salmon" which the can ners had previously thrown away. It's flesh Is coarse and fiat, but 1t it white and, what is more. stays white indefi- niteIy in the can. So the canner, whose first attempt had failed began to put up dog salmon" for this same trade. He labelled his goods, Warranted not to turn red with age" and was reward ed by weil-deserved success, in the
