4 good deal has been said about the
value Of the carp as a food fish. In order
to test the question. the Chairman of the
New York Fish Commission has made a
personal investigation, and his report ap-
pears to be perfectly candid. a carp
weighing two and quarter pounds was
taken from the preserve where it had not
been fed on artificial food and was conse-
auentIv not in the best condition. 1t was
boiled plain so that its flavor should not
be changed for better or worse. The con-
cIusion arrived at was that the specimen
tried was fair food fish, not equal to our
native species but far better than no fish at
all. The flavor was not at all unpleasant
although no condiments or sauces were
used upon it. Many persons in Georgia
have expressed the opinion that the carp
classes 4 No. 1 among the food fishes,
while others have been disappointed in
not finding it so good. There is possibly
no pond fish equalin flavor to those grown
in running streams. Bream, suckers and
perch grown in ponds are inferior in
quality. II may be safely assumed that
carp raised in ponds or streams where the
water is constantly changing are not in
ferior to the sucker or the bass.

A company has been organized in New
Orleans for the purpose of erecting
100000 mill, which will manufacture
paper out of bagasse, or the fibre Of the
sugar cane after the juice has been ex-
tracted. Hitherto this material has been
a waste product of little or no value to the
planter, its removal in many instances
costing a considerable sum. Experiments
have proven that the bagasse paper is pc
culiarly adapted TO the manufacture of
buckets, dishes, clapboards and heavy
packing paper, besides making a fair az
ticle of ''news print" 1t is expected that
the mill viii be completed by the time the

built by j. 5. Rockwell, on the crest of the
hill opposite Wal street ferry in Brook
lyn. His neighbOr across the street is A.
A. Low. The house, which was fitted up
at great expense as a model in sanitation,
proved fatal to Mr.. Rockwell, and after
his death it was discovered that the man.
sion was actually ventilating a great
sewer. Mr.. Seney, since purchasing it,
has added to it an art gallery containing
the choicest collection of paintings in
Brooklyn. He was domestic man, re.
ticent in habit. and was but little known
by sight in Brooklyn. Like Ferdinand
Ward, he was an attendant Of the Church
of Pilgrims. The responsiveness of the
Rev. DR.. r. 5. StOrrs was potent in OPEN
ing his purse strings, especially for adj
ditiOns to the book treasures in the Long
Island Historical Library, OF which he
was a most liberal patron, buying
classics, engravings, and rare things
which cOnnOisseurs recommended TO him.
He was for time so systematically lib
eral to charities that one of his bright
daughters once said to him: Papa, wish
/ was a charitable institutions"
Mr.. Seney rarely gave where his
charity was sought. He refused to notice
begging letters, and when his name be-
came famous and women wrote to him
threatening suicide if not aided, and
young girls threatening sin if not as
sisted, he gave orders to have his mail
winnOwed Of such letters, and for years
this has been Systematically done. His
first noteworthy benefice, which was to
the Methodist College in Georgia, was
prompted by sermon preached by the
Rev. DR.. HagOOd upon a reconciliation
between the North and South. Mr.. Seney
sent for DR.. HaygoOd, and told him that
in his opinion the usefulness of q man
who could preach a sermon like that
should be increased, and made him a
large donation for his school.
Mr.. Seney possesses. a powerful frame
and great energy. He is swarthy in COM
pleXiOn, and his dark eyes flash even in
repose under the shadow Of heavy black
eyebrows. His full beard does not con-
ceal his firm and energetic cast of fea-
lures. He is almost habitually alone.

& SAD. BAD GIRl..

She was pretty, she WAS bright.

She was rare, she was fair,
And her hair was full Of curl,
But she was.-O. she waS
Such sad, bad girl!
Her cheek was like rose,
Her mouth was like cherry,
She'd pretty, per5 SHnb nose,
And her laugh was gay and merry;
She was sweet to her feet,
And her teeth were made of pearl,
But she was-O. she was
Such sad, bad girl!
Her locks were touched with gold,
And three-foot rule would scrarc
her:
She was only five years old,
And her finger tips we've taper;
She could run Just like fun.
With rush and with swirl;
Still she was-O. she lr0S
Such sad, bad girl.
For she wanted her own way,
And you couldn't turn or twist

Spite of mother. friend, or siStc.':
How she'd fly if you'd try
Any fancy to imperil.
For she ,rQ$-O, she was

DIAMOND, Or PiSTE?

Will Carlisle had definitely made
up his mind to propose to Agusta
Colton-sAgusta Ann as her unso-
phisticated relations phrased it, in
their everyday talk.
She isa diamond among glass
pebbles he declared with all low
er's enthusiasm.
Are yon quite sure that she is
a diamond at all?' dryly asked DR..
Belton:
Mr., Carlisle had been spending
the summer at Groton Point, IL q
dreamy desultory sort of way. He
was one of those fortunate-young
men whose career in life is already
made for them. An old uncle in
the West Indies had bequeathed
him a fortune-a connoisscur cous-
in who came abruptly to his end in
a railway accident, had left him .
house on Fifth avenue and a gal
lery of paintings-and just as he
was preparing to enjoy himself
thoroughly,a husky cough developed
itself, the medical man talked grim
" Of impending consumption. and
he was ordered to the sea shore for
the summer.
There is nothing the matter with
me, said he. impatiently.
But there will be- averred the
learned disciple Of Esculapius, if

air. i may be very deficient in

that ! never heard Of Groton
point.'
No, nor anybody else, said Will
Carlisle, smiling. And that is the
reason I am going there. It's a
solitary fishing station on the Maine
coast. There's absolutely nothing
there but surf and sea.gulls.'
And so Groton Point was select
ed for Mr.. Carlisle:s, summer resi-;
depce. There vas a little one

of it, and a variety store at the

GREAT SALT LAk r..

A gentleman who has been lately
sailing on the Dead Sea Of Amer
lea thus describes it; Soon we
were on our way toward The hazy
western shore. AS we passed along
the sea sulls circled around US or
foated on the water, their white
pIumage shining in the sunlight.
Every now and then q hawk-moth
would fit By or alight on the boat;
dragon flies would stop long enough
to gaze at us curiously and then
spin of toward the distant islands.
Occasionally a seventeen-year-O
locust would hum past as if to mock
at us for eyer daring to believe that
this is the Dead Sea Of America
AS the bow plowed through the
water millions OF small diptcra (tlies)
would rise from the water, where
they were resting, and cover the
bow of the boats till quarts fthem
could be collected. Wherever we went
We observed the same thing. The
water of the lake is their home,
and they are as much al home and
sitting on the water as a skipper is
on &n Eastern pond. In some
places where it is calm these flies
darken the water for miles. Here
mot on the beach, they lay their
eggs; here they hatch, and here the
Larvae live by the million till ready
for the pupa state, when they attach
themselves to the seaweed (hoating
everywhere inthe water and remain
till they emerge as perfect flies.
The larvae doubtless prey upon the
strange little shrimps that live in
the water. There are infinite mum.
; bers of these, as there is scarcely
q place in the lake where a bucket
Of water can be dipped without
taking up from twenty to 800 Of
them. 1t is strange that people
should call this q dead sea- for
though the number Of species does
not exceed ten or fifteen, there is
no lake. fresh or salt in the world,
that contains half as many living

THE DARK COSTINENT.

in the prelude to one of his re-
cent Monday noon lectures, Joseph
Cook made q stirring appeal for
immediate and more vigorous efforts
in the evangelizalion of Africa.
Among other things, he said:
''I$ is not too much to affirm that
the centre of the Dark Continent is
at this moment shot through and
through by competing commercial
enterprises; and one Of my reasons
for asking your attention to this
fact is that | believe that unless
the Christian church makes haste
to introduce missions into Africa
the ground there will be trodden
hard by the hoofs of avarice and
burnt over by the fires of greed and
fraud before our missionaries can
reach the spot
With these eloquent words he
closed his earnest plea for q more
enthusiastic cndeavor to rescue the
Dark Continent:
Il do this in the name of all the
missionaries now on African soil Or
buried beneath it. | make this ap-
peal in the name of Livingstone
himself. On the first day of May,
1873, in Chitambo's village in llala,
this great explorer was alone in his
hut in his last hour He rose and
kpelt at his bedside. and in the
morning was found in the posture
of prayer, with life fed. That pic.
ture of Livingstone dying in the
attitude of supplication for Africa,
commencing the Dark Continent to
the Ayenger Of the oppressed and
the Saviour of the lost, let it stand
colossal and draw unto Africa en-.
terprises from all the world in sup
port of bis schemes for the intro
duction of commerce, the abolition
of the slave trade and the promo
ton of Christianity!'

WELDING TIE GAvEL-The
Washington correspondent Of the
Cleveland Lealer says: The Speak
er's desk is sort of marble pull
pit, behind which 3Ir. Carlisle sits
in great arm chair, and holds in
his right hand the ebony handle Of
an iyory-hcaded gavel. This, in q
case Of disorder, which very often
occurs, he brings down with thun.
dering rap upon the board top Of
the marble pulpit. 1t sounds when
used with vigor like the shot of a
pistol, and is the terror Of long
winded speakers. Mr.. Carlisle uses
the gavel lightly, bat little Sam
Cox, when be gets in the chali,
brings it down with all his might,
and once when he was raising 1t up
for mighty stroke the head came
off and it few to the floor. Often
the gavel breaks and then a new
one is procured. Sam Randall was
very hard on gavels, and broke a
great many during his term as
Speaker. He has the remains of
these in a cabinet at home, which
he shows to visitors as S On of his
former power. One Of these is a
beautiful one which he got during
his last term as Speaker. 1t was
made by a Georgian mechanic OF
10 pieces of hickory wood.

HOW BASEBAEg4S ARE1EADE

The frst-class regulation base
ball for this year is not different
from that in use last year. It costs
$50, and sells at wholesale at the
rate of $15 4 dozen. 1t weighs
about FIVE ounces, and when thrown
on a board floor sounds like a
young paving stone. 1t is just
about as solid and as heavy as a
lurnip of the same size, and though
it is perfectly round and smooth,
and the stitches are almost even
with the leather, it stings the un
caloused hand of the catcher as if
it were red hot or covered with
pricbers.
Base balls arc dear because they
are made by hand, and they are
made by hand because they must
be wound very tightly, carefully
and evenly. The basis of each one
is little lump Of Para rubber,
round and weighing an ounce.
Wound around this in every direc
ton is worsted yarn. In some
balls, after a thick layer of yarn is
wound On, the ball is dipped in
rubber, then more yarn is wound on
then it is dipped again, and fually
yet more is wound on and then the
cover is fitted over it. One ball af-
fected by many professionals has a
thin skin of concrete midway be.
tween tue cover and the rubber.
Girls make all the balls. The pro
cess is something like that Of max
ing certain mixed drinks, wherein
the bartender puts in lemon to
make them sour and sugar to make
them sweet. Players want what is
called a dead ball, that's, one that
won't bounce much. A stone will
bounce more that a ball ought.
So the rubber is put in to
make it bounce just a little, and
the yarn is wound highland concrete
is added to stop it from bouncing
at all. Thus the happy medium is
reached. Sometimes nodded vul-
canized rubber is used.
The best balls are covered with
horse-skin because it is strong and
tough. Many of these are sewed
with catgut, but in damp weather
the catgut loosens, and therefore at
such times those balls are used
which are stitched with fax.
Base balls can be purchased for
five, ten, twenty, twenty-five and
fifty cents. Many of these are ma
chine-made, They are stuffed with
odds and ends Of leather, wound up
with cord, pressed into shape, and
covered with common leather. The
second tine that one is hit with a
bat it assumes the shape of an egg.
4 little later it still resembles an
cgg-one that has been hit with a
club.-New York Sun.
