4 Beautiful California Valley.

The still, dry air, the genia. spring tem>
p~erature, the gentle repose, the aspect of
peace aud fertility, the soft c.rpeting of
grass and flowers. the striking profile of the
mountains, the perspective stretching
through the breaks in the range, the beauty
of the abundant woods, the picturesque dis
position of the shapely trees, the myriad o
bright colorsd birds, the concert of melody
always going on in the branches-these
things combine to invest tho Ojai vail y at
this time of the year with an idyllic charm
which l have yet seen nothing to rival
There is one road in particular which everya
body loves. 1t follows the valley Of q little
stream ne " the base of the southern ridge,
and wanders for miles through a leafy glen
where the boughs inter ace overhead, the
grass is clean and fresh below, there are few
weeds and bushes, sunshine lies under the
branches, and you can look far away,
through dancing lights and sha Allows, into
the depth of the wood, until the eye loses it
self in Mysterious traceries of gray and green
and festoons OF tie Wild grape.

Cannot Afford II.

No woman, because she is . wife, can a.
ford to neglect those graces Of mind and
manner which FIRST attracted her lover and
husband. The com non round Of household
duties should not entirely absorb her? She
should have more than one size TO her life
should be = helpmate. companion, f1end,
mistress Of her husbands affections. years
after their union. instead OF merely . skill
full cool or a competent housewife To be
all that nature and reason demand OF her.
she need not release her hold upon the
marital heart by con6ning herself to the
kitchen, the laundry. and the nursery. She
may be ! devoted wife and mother without
forgetting that she was q woman before she
was either ever aiming to keep alive in her
husbands brea t the spirit of CALAMITY and
tenderness on which masculine affection al
most entirely depends. Her husband Is
constantly advancing. if no by regular
culture, at least by daily ontac with the
outer world and it should be her ceaseless
study to keep abreast Of bis improvement
Let her by no meat forget her coquettish
arts, or lay aside the engaging ways which
did so much to ensnare his heart She
must have something to entertain him with
on his return home beside the dreary i.era
tons of troubles with servants or blunders
of cookery books. 4 rose in her hair and
q verse of poetry GA her lips have more
power to ho'd him than the most eloquent
story of domestic di.aster. hope l shall
not be accused of cynicism. however, when
I add that neither rose nor poetry will be
of much avail if dinner is late or badly
cooked and served. Man at his best is a
m%aterialist. 1t is not the wite's fault that
she walks on so low q done..ic plane. She
would gladly mount to a higher if her hus-
land would only give Der his helping hand,
or even invite her to the upper air. Men
are unkind and unsympathetic more from
VAN of thought than from want of feeling.
They unconsciously put obstacles in the
way of feminine advancem. Mt, and seldom
pause to observe how these obstacles are
overcome, or reflect that their joint as list
ance is required. Their minds should be

how e ~ it is for a positive nature to drift

Fish Farming.

By a.taching a pump, propelled by the
wind. to q we'll, says the St. Paul Pioneer
Press. you can supply a basin from fifty 10
seventy Eve feet in diameter, and six to
eight feet deep, with water 50 ficient to raise
several thousand carp or other 6sh. The
cost of the po1d and other -appurtenances
need not exceed fifty dollars. The bottom
and sides need to be cemented thoroughly.
When the basin is completed, place in it q
small quantity Of brush or floating weeds.
If you intend to raise carp do not place
other fish of a predatory character in the
pond. The spawning will occur during the
thousand to Ave hundred thousand eggs.
The eggs will adhere TO whatever they touch,
and will soou hatch. The green scum of a
partially stagnant pond is fine food for the
young fish. Mud in the bottom of the pond
is beneficial. The e ,h will feed readily on
kitchen garden refuse, such as cabbage, leek,
lettuce hominy and other substances. Water
seldom becomes 100 warm TO- fish. During
the winter months they bury themselves in
the mud at the bottom Of the pond. While
10 this condition they should not BE- dis
tlrbed. In a pond Of given dime nsions
several thousand hsh have annually been
taken. If weeds and gras grow profusely
about the borders of the pond, 90 much the
better for the fish. In two years time you
can have u constant supply OF sport and
food, and the advantage Of a pond to assis,
in identifying your home.
