gIgar Boxes.

The commissioners Of internal rev.
euuo has invited representatives of
the cigar manufacturers of New
York, Philadelphia, and other cities
to meet him for conference to con.
slider the question of the introduction
Of II patent cigar box, the invention
of an assistant assessor of internal
revenue in Lancaster county, Penn
sylvania. The commissioners is of
the opinion that the government is
deprived of thousands of dollars of
taxes Justly due because the boxes
now IN use do not offer a sufficient
check. Dealers are frequently found
in their possession the STAMPS upon
which have been broken, but thew
excuse the fact by alIuding that they
were opened to allow buyers TO ex-
anime the cigars before purchasing
them, and they swear that the boxes
have not been used q second time.
The new box which the commission.
or proposes to introduce is so con.
structed that the contents can be
examined without disturbing the
stamp, while at the same time Il
would be impossible to remove the
cigars or TO refill the box witbont
disturbing it. 1t is said also. that
the cost of the new boxes will not be
as great as the cost of those now in
use.

The HERALD
Trout Culture

A spring that produces as much
water as will run through an inch-
square hole will supply pond 20 by
30 feet square, or 600 square feet
surface, and keep the water below
Ga degrees through the summer. and
if covered with house or boards,
so as to shade the water effectually
it may double this size. have one
of this size, shaded, supplied with an
inch stream, and the temperature
never rises above Ga deg, and the
trout are always healthy in it.
When the spring or stream will fill
u four-inch square hole, then the
pond may be fifteen times as large,
containing z 900 square feet, or a
pond 80 by 100 feet square, and so
on, according to the size of the
stream. For growing large trout
the water should be from eight to
fifteen feet deep, for small ones from
two inches TO five feet, according to
the size of the trout. An inch stream
running through two perfectly ar
ranged Matching troughs, will hatch
5000 spawn and grow them till
about IL inches long, when a part
Of them, from time to time, must be
putinto anotherstream, and will grow
10000 trout in the first year, 1000
the second year, and 500 the third,
thus decreasing rapidly in number
as they decrease in size, A sixteen
inch stream might hatch 100000
trout; grow 100000 the first year
$4,000 the second year, and 5000 the
third yoer, and 1000 or 1000 the
fourth that would average one pound
each. Young trout, till from one tc
two inches long, do much the best
in shallow water, say from two
inches to three inches deep; but as
they increase in size the water
should be increased in depth. By
the first Of November, if we'll fed
they will be from three to five
inches long. At this time the water
may be increased to tho depth OF
three feet.-R0binS0n.
