fer paper-maklng purposes has met
with such gratifying success that
they will erect about twenty paper
mills in various parts of the State
where palmetto trees grow in abund-

facilities are good. Some English
paper manufacturers in Canada have
been so Influenced by the favorable
reports concerning palmetto that
they have sent an agent to Florida

From the BALTIC. Sum-
The Carp Fish Distribution.

We have from Mr.. T. 3. Ferguson,
Maryland fish commissioner, the an
nexed letter, showing his plans for
distributing young carp through the
State with a view to domestic cul
ture of the fish, and give it here as
of much public interest
"Dear Sir: The propagation of the
imported carp at the breeding ponds
in Druid Fill Park has been so sue
cessful this season that | hope to be
able to make very large distribu-
ton of this most valuable fish to
those persons in the State who de-
sire to cultivate them, and ! have
made arrangements with the Adams
and Baltimore and Ohio Express
Companies which will enable me to
supply the wants of the applicants
much more conveniently than here.
tofOre. Last season / issued to each
applicant twenty of these fish, but
it was necessary for the parties de-
string them to send to the Matching
house in Druid Hill Park for their
respective quotas. am now happy
to announce that can send the fish
by express through the cooperation
of the companies above mentioned
to any of their stations. This ar
rangement will save applicants much
trouble and expense. | would much
prefer, however, to issue fish at the
ponds. and in order to induce those
wishing them to come for them, will
issue ten fish in addition to the usual
number supplied to those who come
for them, and thus relieve US of the
necessity of shipping.
"The number of fish to be sent to
parties desiring them will be fixed
for the presenta at forty. The cost of
wagoning to the station, express
charges and return of the cans to the
Druid Hill Matching house will be
50, which amount will be collected
by the express agent on the delivery
of the fish. The parties receiving the
fish must be provided with vessel
to which the fish can be transferred
on their delivery. The number of
transporting cans belonging to the
commissioner is limited, and there is
of course an urgent necessity for
their prompt return.
81 have received the most encOur-
aging accounts of the success which
has attended the cultivation of this
fish by those who have hitherto been
recipients of them. and it bids fair
to fill want which has been much
felt in this State. This fish is so adj
mirahly adapted for domestic pur-
poses that every one in the State who
has even a small pond, such as is
usually devoted to the collection of
ice, should prepare it for rearing
the carp. The carp, being largely
vegetable feeder, can be raised
at very little expense, and
can be utilized for the con
sumption of the waste of the
kitchen and garden. trust that the
arrangements which / haye made
will enable you and your neighbors
to avail yourselves of the advantages
presented by the introduction of this
fish into the United States by Prof
Baird.
l am, very truly, yours.

A Japanese Funeral.

Inc japanese training ship Tsuk-
uoa sailed from San Francisco for
honolulu on July 80. Her departure
mao oeen delayed for several days by
.Iie ueath of one of the seamen. In
'ne arrangements for his funeral the
oincers and crew showed great kind
ness and delicacy of feeling, and the
funeral itself was an interesting oc.
casion. AS many of the officers and
crew as could bespared were present,
anu eight of the sailors acted as pail
bearers. Some of the ceremonies
were very curious. When the coffin
ilao been lowered into the grave, the
onlcer In charge placed small table
at us head and put thereon several
kinds of vegetables, fruits, sweets
meats and a glass of wine. The feast
being prepared, the officers, accord.
ing to rank, singly proceeded to the
table. and with uncovered heads,
made very reyerential cbeisance.
After them came the cadets and then
followed the marines Lieutenant
Senju then read short eulogy. 1t
was in effect that Y. Mataba had been
brave and true saIIer in his Japa-
nese Maesty's service; that he bore
an su1sallied character, and that the
entire company OH board the Tsuku-
ba mourned his loss. They felt sure
that one SO upright and diligent. and
ono who possessed so many virtues
could have no difficulty in crossing
the dark ocean-the unknOwn-and
would spec Oily find a safe harbor of
refuge in which to anchor. The ma
rine corps then formed at the head of
the grave and fired three salutes
over their dead comrade, and at the
conclusion of each the trumpeter
blew very melancholy blast. In the
same order as before each Japanese
then threw a handful of earth upon
the coffin, after which the grave-dig-
gers rapidly filled up the grave. One
of the pecullarities of the funeral
rite was long piece Of muslin placed
near the table, upon which were
written some kind words, reciting the
good qualities of the dead man, and
signed by each of his messmates- "a
sort of certificate of good character,
in case he should require such doc.
ument. One of the thoughtful and
graceful acts of the crew and officers
of the Tsukuba while at San Fran
cisco was the repairing the graves of
the four japanese sailors buried there
six or eight years ago. These graves
were in very deIapidated condition,
but six of the officers and men spent
two days in restoring them. They
were strangers to those to whom they
paid this respect, but they remem-
bered that the sailors were japanese
and buried in foreign country.

The statistics of the grain crop,
collected by the Department of Ag-
riculture. are now sufficiently near
completion to enable the yield to be
very closely estimated, and it is
generally agreed that it will amount
to between 485, 900, 900 and 800, 100000
bushels. The question what is to be
done with this immense yield is one
which daily presents itself, and which
is alike of importance to both the
farmer and the city merchant. We
refer again to statistics compiled in
the most reliable manner and answer
this question, as follows: For home
consumption there is needed some
300, 000. 900 bushels. The United
Kingdom will need 25,0OO,0OO
bushels, at least, and probably l5,-
10000 bushels more. France must
import 90, 000, 900 bushels. The crops
of Germany and Austria are both
shert, and in Russia-from which
country they have been generally
able to draw all they needed-the
crop is about thirty per cent. below
the average, and instead of being
in the market to sell, that country is
now recognized as purchaser, and,
indeed, has already had two or three
cargoss from this country. In sddi-

y BAD SPELLING.-Wi the last
twenty years the reformers in educa-
ton raised the cry, that too much
time was consumed in learning SPELL
ing in our schools, that a much better
method than committing long columns
of words to memory could be en-
ployed, and that writing from dicta-
ton would supply this method.
Gradually the old. tiresome plan was
discarded in many schools, but the
result is not satisfactory. The ex~
aiming boards at the Naval Acad-
envy and at West Point complain of
the bad spelling that is found there.
our College authorities find their stu
dents defective in this important
portion of education. and compost.
tors in all our printing offices also
find that the photography OF manu-
scrit is deteriorating rather than i'm
proving. The results of the present
method of teaching spelling are not
gratifying, and one is forced to cons
clude that there is no mode of i'm
parting an accurate knowledge of
this subject better than constant,
daily drill, which. although it may
be somewhat tedious. makes the child
familiar with the form and correct
composition of words. There are
some things, so tried and approved
by experience, that it would seem
foolish to lay aside. and the time has
now come when the people should
ask return to the old methods Of
careful drilling in English spelling.
