The Peninsular Fruit EyapOratOrs' AssOcia-
ton.

The Peninsular Fruit EvapOrators
Association met in semi-annual con-
ventiOn at p m. on Tuesday in the
Levy Court room at Dover, with Vice
President, J. j. Rosa in the chair and
Caleb BOggs, Secretary. A quorum
responded to roll call and the minutes
of the last meeting were approved
The committee to cooperate with the
New York Association reported pro-
gress and was continued.
The condition Of the EVapOF6ted
Fruit market was considered, and
much valuable information to mem
UeIs was elected. Mr.. Il. Z Trainor
Of Philadelphia gave history OF the
progress made in this business in tue
southern and border States and also
made comparison of the goods IN
sigh" last year and this. From the
inc eased attentiOn given in the south
to tins industry. more goods of better
quality had come into the market from
mat section than ever before. This
has acted somewhat to equaliZe the
supply that would have been short, if
the Peninsula only had been the
source this year. Nevertheless 'the
goods in sightn were not a sufficient
cause for the dull market and de-
pressed prices. There was much
smaller supply in the market than last
year at the first of January, aud re-
tailers have as yet not bought their
supplies. The goods in market are
mainly in the hands of dealers; man
having generally closed out
their product.
some manufacturers were cautioned
to be more careful in setting the color
Of their fruit and the Association was
urged to earnestly consider the impor-
lance of this matter. Upon this point
the experience Of those long in TIE /
business was given in the remarks OF /
John J. Rosa, w. II. Phillips, VIM p. /
JOrsa and others. The popular meth /
Id for securing the best fruit was to
gather the peeled halves from the par
RS at short intervals, before they had
line TO discol0r, and with sufficient
lelp spread them on the trays as fast
IS gathered up; place them in cold
'leach Tor not exceeding five minutes,
nd remove as soon as The color is sci.

CARP.

Since writing our previous account
of Mr.. COursey's experience in raising
carp, we have received some very in
teresting items on the subject from
Mr.. COursey himself. The frequent
periods in winter when the ground in
this section is free from frost for many
days, makes it possible for farmers to
construct carp ponds at IL time of the
year when they have the most leisure.
Carp are especially adapted to ponds
as they do not thrive in cool running
water. They will live in exceedingly
shallow water, although in winter
they must have water of sufficient
depth to allow them to protect them
selves fr IN the ice. One gentleman
near Milford placed few carp i'm q
small pond year ago, and was pre-
vented from finishing bis pond in the
proper lime. Discouraged about his
experiment, he gave up all hope of
ever seeing his carp again, until one
day last summer he discovered several
fine fellows tapping in the mud of his /
unfinished pond. They were soon
rescued and put in safe place, and il |
is safe to say that the coming winter
will have to be very cold if that carp
pond is not finished. 1t is necessary /
that all carp ponds be constructed so .
they can be drained Offat times; as ONLY /
i'm that way can YariOuSenemiesO Ofcarp. |
such as eels, snakes, catfish and frogs, |
be destroyed. Carp raisers become
greatly f;lcinated with the occupation.
as the fish are so tame that if fed regu-
larly al some one shallow place, they
can be taught to eat out of the hand,
and will bear being handled, as readi-
~ as will a chicken. Mr.. COursey
calls his fish to feed them, by rapping
with his cane on a board. At the first
rap the beauties come swimming to
their place for the dainty mOrsels that
their owner always has ready.
II has been said that carp are scav- ]
engers; but this is not true. They do
not even live on their own young nor
upon other fish or decOmpOSed vegeta- 7
bic matter, but upon Cooked Vegeta- /
bles and cereals, such as corn, wheat,
rye, potatoes, turnips, lettuce, pump y
lIins, ,eic.u There are also some water /
plants which are adapted to their s
wants, which grow freely in this eli T
mate and section: such as water-lillies. y
Carp are very prolific, and attain \
great weight when raised in warm p
climate aud fed regularly ON suitable B
ioOd. A pair of carp will produce $4,000
yOung, annually, if properly cared for; to
md full grown fish of this variety 10
will under favorable circumstances [,
each weight of SO or IS pounds.
Carp are best for food from October an sn
o May. AS this is season when O.
resh fish are scarce, there will always to
'e found a ready market for any su- ir'
'erfuous amount that any one may Al

How the Treasury is Guarded.

What puzzles my English fricnds
even more than the ignorance o.
the people Of Washington as tc
where the original draft of the
Declaration Of Independence il
kept, is the apparent absence Of
guards about the Treasury Depart
ment at night, writes a Washing
ton correspondent. The Treasury
Department building covers, as
you know, two squares of ground.
In Its great vaults are as many dol
lars as the richest man in the world
would want to roll in ; yet You can
walk up fifteenth street at night,
touching every window and door
on its side from lower Pensylvanis
avenue without meeting a single
Waterman, eXceptat certain hours,
and then the meeting would be &C
cidental. Within tho walls are
guards, but they are not visible,
and the building seems deserted.
"Now, in London said an Eng
lishman, tonight, ''if you were
walking past the Bank of Eng
land Just about the time that the
street lamps we're being lighted
yeu would meet a small body OF
troops, armed and equipped for
sentry duty, and you would see
them take their places for the
night as though the bank were a
fortified camp. Ia like to see yon
touch the Old Lady of Thread
needle street between sunset and
sunrise. The condition of your
treasury seems to be IN keeping
with the general informally of your
governments"
