Giant Fish of Florida 



Florida and tarpon fishing must gain a wider public before 

 long some of the chief fish that they are likely to meet 

 with in those waters. 



Two curious facts that I find in my diaries seem worth 

 setting down in conclusion. One is that dogs cannot live long 

 in that climate. They succumb within four years to a disease 

 that has hitherto been a complete mystery. A local doctor 

 has, however, isolated the microbe responsible for the mischief. 



My other hint is for the smoker. I find that a local cigar 

 epicure always made a practice of storing his weeds in the 

 refrigerator, in order to keep them in condition, for it is more 

 difficult to keep cigars green than in a perfectly matured 

 state. 



THE END.
