Fish CuIture and Flsh nipt.

Donald G.. Mitchell Ike Marvel has
an article in the Atantic Almanac for 1869,
entitled " Brookside," in which he introduces
the subject Of fish culture aud Gsh diet. As,
according TO his theory it addresses itself to
Legislators on both points, we make short
cztract--not that in the latter respect it is
necessarily potent to Legislators only.
The question Of fish preservation and fish

AFTERNOON ScHooLs.--A new and not I'M
important reform is about to be introduced in
German schools, viz, the abolition of after
noon classes, II vas principally during the
past SUMMER months that the experiment was
almost forced upon the authorities. The re-
suits are on all sides reported to have been
more than brilliant. The forenoon classes
are, We, believe, somewhat, but not much, long
err than formerly. but it Is said that the pu-
pills show an eagerness aud vigor in those
short morning hours which has never been
known before, and their progress is quite in
keeping with their keen aud energetic assid-
uity. The most curious point about the mat
terseems to be the fully authenticated fact
that, tho schools having hitherto only closed
experimentally earlier or later according to
the wishes of the respective head masters, the
progress shown by the various schools stands
In an inverse ratio to the duration of the
classes, or, in other words, the less hours be-
You'd the four or i've Of the morning in the
school, the more did the boys get on with
