How to Feed Carp.

Professor Baird, of the United States
Fish Commission, looks for important re-
suits from the introduction of the carp,
which occupies the same position among
fish as poultry does among birds and as
sheep and pigs do among mammals Carp
readily consume corn, kitchen refuse, cab
bage leaves, squashes and melons. The
same amount of vegetable matter fed to
the carp will make twice as mueh flesh as
when given to chickens or swine; besides,
it is equally palatable. Several improved
races of carp from Hungary and Bohemia
have been introduced here by the commits
sion They have increased very rapidly,
and within a year over 5000 persons with
private ponds have been supplied. Among
the specimens collected by the Smithso-
nan Institute is carp which was sent to
Texas last April, at which time it was four
inches in length 1t was brought back
December !, measuring twenty inches in
length and weighing pounds. A still
greater growth is represented by three
specimens of the same original size sent
to Georgia also in last April, which when
caught few weeks ago, measured 2l, %
and 25 inches respectively.

1t Takes Two to Quarrel.

1t is always easy to find a subject to
quarrel about, and almost always easy to
fnd person who is just hot-tempered
enough to give you good opportunity.
With subject and person at hand the way
is open to make life as disagreeable as pos
sible, and you can feed on hot words until
your moral digestion is spoiled. We have
noticed that in every quarrel it is the reply
and not the assertion which makes the
trouble The man who gets mad cannot
possibly have good time until he can get
second person mad also, and if he sue
ceeds in that the two have a very enjoya-
bic season. When man says biting
thing to you if you can only get your
tongue between your teeth and hold it
there for few minutes the portents will
pass away; but if, on the other hand, you
are determined to give as good as is sent
rivalry Immediately begins, and you be-
come hot, feverish and unreasonable. The
old negro was right who said that the rea-
son why certain quarrel was settled was
that one of the parties "kep on akin
pertinent questions and de oder KEEP on
sayiu' nothin', an that" he added, ""will
settle big difficulty quicker'n anything
else"

Preserving the Balance.

Old Captain Stanley, who lives down in
the middle of Kentucky, was a good old
Hard-shell Baptist, who occasionally would
tell story at the expense of some of the
brethren. Many years ago they were not
so conspicuously orthodox on the temper
ance question as they are in our time.
"On one occasion, said the captain, ''the
brethren down in my region were about to
have grand church gathering, and all the
faithful in the neighborhood were expected
to exert themselves to entertain suitably
and Hospitality the visiting brethren. Two
of my neighbors met each other just before
the grand gathering, one of whom said
"'What are yoa going to do?'
well, replied the man, I've laid in
a gallon of first-rate whiskey.'
GA gallon ? retorted his neighbor, with
look of contempt; why, I've got bar
rel; and you are just as able to support
the Gospel as am
In those days you could always tell a
Hard-shell by looking at him from be-
hind; one of the skirts of his coat would
hang lower than the other-the one in
which he carried his bottle. But the cap
tain said there was one old brother down
there whose UNCONVENTIONAL views couldn't
be aseertained in that way : his skirts
hung even-a bottle in each pocket.-Ed-

German named Frank Spindlcr in a
room on the top floor Of tho bagnic

made at the instance Of Spindler's
stepdaughter, Sallie Stephens, alias
Taylor, on q warrant charging him
with assault and threats to kill.
A LEDGER reporter found Spindler
in tho courtyard Of the station this
morning, and heard a story which, if

America seven years ago, and married
a Mrs. Stephens, an American woman
with two daughters. These girls re-
manned with him on his farm in Mis-
sissippi until about a year ago, when
they left him and came to Memphis.
He heard nothing of them until last
Christmas, when he received a letter
from the eldest, stating she had mar
ried and was living at 135 Main street,
concluding with a request hat he and
her mother come and live with her.
The invitation was taken in good
faith, and putting his affairs in shape
Spindler came to the city, preceding
his wife a few days. He was ignorant
at first Of the character of the place to
which h~iassdaughter had invited him,
but very soon discovered that the
number Of husbands vas entirely out
of proportion TO the number of wives,
and when his wife came, began to look
about for other quarters. The wife
it seems, however, took kindly to
things and didn't care about leaving.
She was Of course aware that her
daughters were nothing but common
women of the town, but after the first
shock was over, seemed to be a convert
to the doctrine Of free lovism, and that
her daughters we're assisting in a

for them. The girls were anxious for
the mother to stay, but the step father

get rid Of him. When he showed his
determination to take his wife away
from the place with him, they remon-

He naturally grow angry and gave
vent to his feelings. This was the
opportunity longed for, and in less
than an hour Spindler was arrested
and locked up in the statiohouse,
