FIG. m.-sCALELEss CARP.

Carpmay be raised in any sized pond that
will have water three to five feet deep. The
bottom should be OF mud, 30 as to pro-
duce good growth of aquatic vegetation
on which the carp may subsist. The sides
of the pond should not be built up with
wood or stone masonry if it can be
avoided.
In regions where the ponds freeze over in
the winter, alternating ground should be
made. This should be the deepest place in
the pond, and should be from six to eight
feet deep, with a good bed OF soft mud at
the bottom. When cold weather sets in the
carp will make their way into this ground
and remain until spring. No other fish
should be placed in the pond, nor should
water fowl be given freedom in it. sluice
should be put in each pond to regulate the
depth OF the water and to draw the water
of. The discharge should be from the
bottom. Wire cloth may be placed at the
bottom of the sluice to prevent the carp es-
Gaping. Some carp culturists divide their
ponds into three sections with q deep place
near the outlet OF each.
Carp may be prevented from escaping
rom mill dam by placing wire netting
along where the water overfows. This
may be removed on the advent OF severe
cold weather SO that it will NOT be carried

THE ISLE OF CAPRI.
An Autograph Collecting Hermit in Il
villa of Roman Emperor.

An AUTOGRAPHED Collecting Hermit in tho
villa of a Roman Emperor.
One of our walks in the Island Of
Capri will take us to very high point,
on which are some ruins Of the Villa Of
Tiberius. the Roman Emperor. This
gentleman, having involved himself in
a great deal Of trouble at home, con!
cluded to retire to this rocky island,
where he would be safe from his
enemies, and here he lived until his
death, in the year 81 A. D. Capri must
have been a very different place then as
far as the manners and customs of its
inhabitants are concerned. The EN-
peror built no less than twelve hand
some villas in various parts of the
island, and made all necessary arrange
ments to enjoy himself as much as pos
sible. The villa which we are visiting
was one of the largest, and the remains
of vaulted chambers and corridors
show that it must have been a
very fine building. A short distance
below it is the top of precipice,
from which, tradition says, Tiberius
used to have those persons whom he
had condemned to death thrown down
into the sea. This was not an unusual
method of execution with the Romans,
and his victims must have met with a
certain death.
If any of us really desire to see her.
NIT, we can now be gratified, for one OF
that profession has his dwelling here.
He probably does live here all alone, but
he does not look like our ordinary ideal
of a hermit. He will be glad to receive
some coppers, and also to have us write
our autographs in book which he keeps
for the purpose. A hermit autograph
collector in the ruined villa of Roman
Emperor, on the top of a mountainous
island in the Mediterranean, is some
thing we did not expect to meet with on
our travels.-Frank r. Stockton, in st.
Nicholas.

ITALIAN PAPERS.
The Undeveloped State of the Daily Press
--.. nth Of Ttaly. sa...-.. .,-t

The UndevelOped State of the Daily Press
aaf ~ of Italy. a1
There are about two hundred daily
papers in Italy. Nothing analogous to
the county Or village newspaper in
America exists in the italian peninsula.
As for the large cities and those of the
second and third class, they are amply
supplied, as will appear from the fol-
lowing statement: There are i'll Milan
eight, in Rome twenty-three, in Venice
six, in Genoa six, in Naples seven, in
Turin five, in Florence five and in
Palermo three. Those in Milan are in
the most reasonable proportion, for
there are only eight, and the population
is not far from 100000, while
the people of Lombardy are the most
energetic and intelligent in Italy.
The twenty-three at Rome
are the anomaly. Rome has popula-
ton of 100000, or little more than
half that of San Francisco, yet it has
three or four times the number of daily
newspapers. OF these the Romano
Popolo, a sort of Government organ,
has circulation of $4,000. It is in
telligently edited and influential and
reasonable, like most of the journals OF
the country, which, when they entertain
ultra-republican views like the Secolo, al
Milan, content themselves with mild ex.
pressions of opinion. that the public
harmony may not be disturbed. The
Secolo, which is said to have a circula.
ton of 100000, is seen everywhere in
Italy and occasionally is sold at news
stands in France and Spain. scIt has 9
reputation for ability and enterprise moi
only among its partisans but its enemies
and the manner in which it is con
Quoted is more like that of first-class
American than any other journal in
Italy. The general distribution of news
papers indicates the prevailing degree
of intelligence in the localities where
they are published, Rome being nota
BILE exception. Naples, though having
200, 900 more inhabitants than Milan
has less daily newspapers, while Paler
mo, great and important city, ha!
only three. Genoa is about the size o
Rome, yet has but six dailies and an ig
norant reading constituency. Th'
greatest proportion of illiteracy is, o
course, found at Naples and dow1
through Calabria into Sicily. and her,

Within foot OF the top have the poles
nichcd on opposite sides and sawed two
thirds off. From these inches the pole
should project above the water about q
foot when driven in, so that when the pole
is properly in, the top may be broken off,
leaving the top under water about a foot,
as stated. They should be driven at an
angle OF about twenty-five degrees, leaning
inward, at proper distances apart.
Carp may be sent for at any time, but
spring and fall are the best.

DEMOCRATIC DRIFT.

There is nothing to refute the
claim of the Democratic members that
they made no attempt to check an in
vestigation into the Cincinnati election,
on which depended four Democratic
seats. The names of these four men,
bers accredited from Cincinnati have
been arbitrarily struck from the roll by
the Lieutenant Governor, and the Re-
publican minority, though not consti-
tuting quorum, is attempting to usurp
the authority of the Senate.--St. Louis

The Second Comptroller has
made report on the accounts Of the

tion has exposed great extravaganza,
fragrant violations of law, and arbi-
trary assumptions of authority in the
administration of that Office for the last
three or four years. After the frauds
and forgeries of Howgate, which are
still unpunished, it was at least sup.
posed that common care would be ex.
ercised in redeeming the bureau from
the disgrace that had fallen upon it by
his crime. It now appears that the
liberality Of Congress toward the Sig
nal Service by increased appropriations
has been shamefully abused. Instead
of prudence and strict fidelity in it,
management there has been scandalous

straints. We are in favor of Signal

A NEW GUESSING GAME.
Some Curious SpeculatiOns as to "U
conscious Counting"

~ g.. g.
Some Curious SpeculatlOns as to Gun
conscious Counting"
There is an ingenious article on "uncon
scious counting" in the January number of
the Gartcnlaube, in which the writer, Herr
W. Preyer, points out that the. ability pos
sessed by every grown-up person OF ordi-
nary intelligence to distinguish three, four
or even five objects at a glance and without
being conscious of counting them, may by
practice be perfected to such a degree that
it becomes quite as easy to count ten OBJ
jects as it is to count three, and that it is
possible to give the exact number up to
thirty objects at single glance. As an ex-
ample of the latter attainment, the writer
Dase, who died in 1861, and who declared
that he could count thirty objects of the
same kind as quickly and easily as other
people could count three or four. The
truth of the assertion was often proved
when Dase, with lightning rapidity, gave
the correct number OF herd OF sheep, Of
the books in library or the window-panes
in large house. The number OF Dases is
probably such that, were all the Dases OF
the world put together, even an unframed
arithmetician would without difficulty
give their correct number unhesitat-
ingly; but there is no doubt
that practice would do much even
for those people who are naturally
gifted with arithmetical powers. And prac-
tice, after all, is nothing but patient, at
tentive repetition, in which the dullest may
join with the brightest. Apart, however,
from the utility Of this new branch OF
science, the method Of teaching it is such that
if it is only practiced as game it may az
ford amusement In many q juvenile and
family circle. The test of how far one can
count at glance is easily made by putting
several small objects, such as coins, pins or
matches, under a sheet of paper, then lift
ing the paper for a second and looking at
the objects, and after covering them again
give an estimate as to their number. At
first it will be found difficult to fix the mum
ber if there are more than three to five OBJ
jects, but the eye becomes very soon ac-
customed to distinguish between larger
numbers, so that after short time eight
or nine objects will be counted by the eye
with the same facility. Care should, however,
be taken that the counting isnot done con
sciously for that would take far too much
time; the number OF objects should only be
| valued. The mistakes which are at first
frequently made in this guessing game
will become rarer and rarer, and almost
any body can become an expert in rap
id counting up to ten objects. After
| that it becomes more difficult. The
sensation, says Herr Preyer, OF person
praCticed in unconscious counting, when
looking attentively at larger numbers OF
objects, is that their number shoots rapid
ly through the head. To acquire this
method of counting black spots should be
made on white square pieces OF cardboard
first symmetrically and in small numbers,
as, for instance, the following: After
