The Salvelinus fontiualis, which is

trout, was supposed for many years to
be small fish. Agassiz was largely
instrumental in exploding this fullacy.
1t is not au uncommon thing for an
angler With ordinary luck to get II six
or seven pound trout of this variety
1t Is known that n trout may grow 10
weigh eleven or twelve pounds There
Is. however, great difficulty In account
ing for its variation In size.
In northeastern Canada there are
large streams and lakes In Which only
lngerllngs have ever been found. In
the immediate vicinity of such water
three and four pound trout are quite
common, and seven aud eight Founders
are not phenomenal. In all these wa
tcrs crustacea do not abound; there are
no small fish of any kind except small
trout. All the fish are pure fly feeders
At some places, II is true, frogs abound,

In Italy the aristocracy still protects
Itself from the evil eye. and the multi.
tude is still devoted to the little evil
eye charms to secure Immunity from
disaster.
The true evil eye charm OF the Ital-
fans Is in the shape of Il tiny hand. the
index and the little finger being point
sd out and the third and fourth fingers
being hell down by the thumb The
charm, hpsever is merely Il represen-
tation OF the way in which the Italian
holds his hand. When poinvd outward
he wishes to cast the evil eye on an
he thinks To protect himself from Its
malicious spell.
This little charm can be bought In
Italy Of various materials, coral. tor
tolse shell. silver and gold being the
ones in highest favor The coral
charms are those Worn by the poorer
classes, since of cheap grade of the
material they can be bought for few
sous. Naturally the aristocracy prefer
them Of gold. In Italian money these
tiny things then cost the equivalent of

exqulsitely modelled the fingers and
nails being as carefully chseled as
marble statues
Another small hand that the Italian

This hand has the thumb the Index

Each Of these little signs has its pc
