Interesting Facts About the Introduction
and Propagation of Carp in the United

Interesting Facts About the Introduction
and Propagation of Carp in the United
states.
In a paper read before the American
Association, Mr.. C. W. Smiley, of
Washington, d. c., said he had some
years ago imported from Germany
thirty or forty pairs of this fish. They
were placed in breeding ponds in
Washington, and have increased many
fold, the number spawned this year
being 100000 The carp is naturally
warm water fish, and in the waters
Of the Southern States grows with as
tonishing rapidity, and to great size.
They will also do well in the cold
water of the North, even in Minneso-
TIA. Nearly every State and county in
the United States has a fish commits
sion, and they are all propagating
| carp. 1t has also been taken up as
private speculation, and carp are sold
for breeding purposes as high as S.
per pair.
The carp roots about in the mud for
! aliment, and much resembles poultry
in its manner of getting food. Carp
| aged three years are often found to
weigh twelve to fifteen pounds, and a
| gain in weight of four pounds has
been observed in a carp in one year
The carp is sluggish; while trout, bass,
and other lively fish frisk about, and
do not fatten 80 fast as the carp. Ex-
periments have shown that female carp
spawn at the age of one year in south
ern waters, at two years in colder
waters, and in the extreme northern
waters of the United States at three
years. Other fish, turtles, muskrats,
snakes, and even birds, eat young carp.
A bird shot in Washington recently
had in it's stomach the heads of seven
ty-nlne young carp. The United
States Fish Commissioner is giving
away carp, sending them by express to
any point, the receiver paying express
charges. The fish will thrive on table
refuse and almost anything edible.
Carp can be kept in winter in a tub in
the cellar, the water requiring to be
kept fresh. Care should be taken to
keep poisonous substances out of carp
ponds, and too much food should not
be thrown in. In cooking carp
thorough cleansing is needed, and fry
ing should be done in hot pans and hot
grease.
As to the economies of this subject
Mr., Smiley said that fish culture was
more and more becoming part of the
farmers occupation, and thought that
not very long in the future, most Of
the farmers of the country would have
little fish ponds in their door yards
both as method of obtaining fooC
and as an ornament to the homestead

Removing Freckles.

Freckles can be removed, according
to DR.. J. Y. Shoemaker, by the careful
application of little ointment of the
oleate of copper at bedtime. He
makes the ointment by dissolving the
oleate of copper in sufficient oleo-
palmitic acid to make a mass.

A gray-coated squirrel
Sat up in tree,
AS happy as ever
A squirrel could be.
There were nuts all around him;
Below, overhead.
t'Pll gather them in
For the winter" he said.
He tossed his wise head,
And winked his bright eye,
AS he thought OF the dinners
These nuts would supply.
But never a thought
To the children gave he,
This selfish gray squirrel

Spontaneous Combustion.

Many fires occur, the source Of which can
not be traced, or of which no intelligent ex-
PLANTATION can be given, except upon the
theory Of spontaneous combustion. 1t is said
by those who are qualified TO speak and have
given the subject attention that spontaneous
combustion is moro likely to occur in hot, dry
seasons than any other. Frequent instances
have occurred Of the burning Of stacks of hay
which were clearly attributable 70 the gem
Grafton of heat in tho hay itself Many ex-
periments have been made for the purpose
of determining the precise circumstances un-
der which oily refuse will ignite. These lat
ter experiments were suggested by a eonha-
grafton in u carpenters shop, evidently re-
sulting from combination of the chips and
sawdust under tho floor with quantity Of
linseed oil which had leaked down into it,
Instances of fires originating in this way
are said to be common, boiled linseed OF
being especially dangerous when in combina-
tion with inaammable substances.
1t has been demonstrated that handful ol
cotton waste soaked in boiled linseed oil and
placed in temperature of 17oo Fahrenheit
will ignite within two hours. If raw linseed
oil be. used the same result will follow In foui
or Eve hours,
Seal oil will Are in less than two hours an6
gallipoli in six hours Tho difference in tn
action of various kinds of oil is very remark
able. Although seal oil is so easily ignited

The CAPTURED Apacaes.

In view of the difficulties encountered in
making satisfactory disposition of the Apache
Indians recently captured by Gen. Crook
under existing methods of administration, 1t
has been determined by the secretary Of war
and the secretary of tho interior, that the In
dians recently captured, and all such as may
be hereafter captured, or may surrender
themselves, shall be kept under tho control
of the War department at such points on the
San Carlos reservation as may be determined
by the War department, but not at the
agency without the consent of the Indian
agent, to be fed and cared for by the War de-
partment until further orders.
For the greater security of the people Of
| Arizona, and to insure peace, the War de-
pertment is to be intrusted with the entire
police control of ell the Indians on the San
| Carlos reservation and charged with the duty
of keeping the peace and preventing the In.
diaus from leaving 1t except with the consent
of Gen. Crook, or the officer who may be au-
thorized to act under him.
The War department shall protect the In
dian agent In the discharge Of his duties al
agent, which shall include the ordinary du
ties of an Indian agent, which shall remair
as heretofore, except as to keeping the peace
administering justice and punishing refrac
tory Indians all Of which shall be done b,

papers,
twas not an unreasonable expectation that
the learned men who have forbidden the use
of nearly every kind of food and drink which
mankind enjoy, and the use Of the bath, ex-
cept upon impossible conditions, on pain Of
disease and early death, would at least leave
us the consolation of reading. But now the
London Lancet gives warning that there is
no more powerful apparatus for the convey
ance of disease than book. A list Of the
diseases most easily conveyed by means of
books comprises measles, scarlet fever, diph-
iberia, sore throat, whooping cough, bron-
chitis, and perhaps phthisis.
Added to this startling information another
trouble of q different kind is likely to arise
in the administration of our civil courts, "
people will still persist in reading newspa-
pers.
Judge Allen, of the criminal court Of Nash
vile, whose discharge of the seven Jurors in
the Polk case has heretofore been mentioned
in THE REPUBLICAN, rules that any man who
reads newspaper account oil an alleged
crime and forms an opinion Of the guilt OF
innocence of the prisoner therefrom, although
no may say that his preconccived opinion
might be changed by testimony. is not com
petent to sit on tho jury. Well may thu
Nashville Ancric an say that IF Jurors are t
bo selected only from persons who do not road
the newspapers, the time would seem to be
approaching when some other m ethod Of tria
will have to be adopted"
A jury ought not only to be composed Of
honest men, but of men Of intelligence. The
latter class read the newspapers, and under
this ruling will be excluded from juries
while the ignorant will be taken. II is no
likely that Judge Aliens decision will sup
press newspaper reading any moro than tina
the dicta of the London Lancet will stol
people from reading books.

Cyclones and Thunderstorms.

We who live in this latitude may congratu-
late ourselves that we are out of the usual and
ordinary range Of the dreadful cyclones which
have swept over parts of the country, destroy
ing lives and property. Scientific men have
not given the thought to these storms which
they deserve. One scientist has given the
opinion that the agency of destruction in cy-
clones is a species of gas much moro powerful
tricity. Although the ordinary thunder
storms, which are common to all parts of the
country, are sometimes the means Of the loss
of human life as we'll as Of property, we know
that but for the influence they exercise upon
the conditions Of the earth and its surround.
ngs life would not be tolerable, even If ex-
istence were possible. ,,r,.
The conditions of great and oppressive heat,
disturbance of tho electrical equilibrium, and
other features which prelude o thunder storm,
if prolonged for any considerable period would
result in much more harm than is ever pro-
duced by storms, All these conditions, SO
hurtful to mankind, are remedied through the
agency of storms. They are the scavengers
of the atmosphere. They are visitors which
come in mercy, and not in wrath. The storm,
with his broad wings, scours the air Of its
noxious vapors; and angry and dreadful as he
may appear in look, appalling as he is in ac-
ton, fatal as he sometimes is in his darts,
yet in the main he is kind messenger OF
mercy and health. When by his action the
electrical equilibrium is restored, and the
once heated air is made cool and delightful
and tho sun shines out with softened splen
dor, we recognize the fact that his mission il
to restore the violated harmonies Of eartl
and heaven.
