Matching Brook Trout.

Fish Commissioner Delawder Is de-
voting considerable attention to the
Matching of brook trout at Druid Hill
Park, Baltimore. Since The first of
the year 1856, 900 trout eggs have been
received, of which number only 6 900
are Unmatched. The eggs were all
obtained from Michigan and New
Hampshire, in which States the
speckled trout is abundant. The loss
in transportation and Matching is quite
small, IN some cases not exceeding 9
per cent.
There are now nearly $3.50, 900 young
trout in the tanks at the park, vary
ing in age from to weeks, the old
est being about AN inch in length.
When they will have attained an age
of six weeks they will require feed
ing, and their diet at this infantine
age consists of grated liver, with an
occasional meal of milk curd. BY the
middle of April the young trout will
he old enough to shit for themselves,
and will he ready for distribution.
Mr.. DeIawder hopes to give those
counties in which trout will thrive
GO. 900 each. This is fish which re
quires 4 low temperature, and cOnSe-
quentIy they are not able to live IL
many of the streams of the southern
most counties.

Because they are deeply Interested in

j would say 10 the young teacher and
to those thinking Of engaging in the

TO become a teacher if you have not "a

you dIscredit yourself, and disgrace the
profession of teaching. 1t is not only
to your own interest but TO the interest
of humanity that you do not engage in
q work 30 which you are not called.
You should remember the words of

1t Is a duty you owe 10 Yourself and

In imagination 1 see you preparing
