The latest sensation in town has been the
SO called revival meetings of Moody and
Sankey, the Methodist reformers Of the day,
who by introducing system eff choralsing-
ing, have succeeded in drawing crowds
wherever they go. Messrs. Moody and SAM
key have fine clear voices and chant we'll in
unison with the operate airs played during
the entertainments, and so far as that part
of the proceedings go, it is undoubtedly
very fine. The religious part seems to be
almost left out, however, with the exception
of the theory, that i" The fear of hell is the
hangman's whip to keep the wretch in Or
der" Very good in its place, no doubt,
but out Of order in such community as
that of the Crescent City. We failed to
hear any appeals to the better nature of
mankind to do good for the love of truth,
for the desire to benefit our fellows or our
selves. 1t was the stale sing song tale, now
long threadbare, and your readers can get
more common sense out of one of Tai
mage's sermons than whole weeks atten
dance at the revival meetings.
The remarks upon the necessity of tenn
perance we're perhaps the best of all and
the alusion that the women of our land
have far more to do with the solution of
that problem than would appear at first
blush was very pertinent. It is no doubt
true that man whose wife or mother is
an adept in the art of cooking never desires
the regular morning stimulant to give ap-
petite for breakfast, and if the women of
America will only give more attention to
the preparation of toothsome dishes for
the table, the bar rooms and gin mills will
be the less patronized.
These revivals are very well in their way
but what the people need the most here is
revival in business, which we are happy
to say appears to be springing up little.
1t is gratifying to learn that fair COM
promise has been arrived at with the strik-
ing brakesmen of the Morgan railroad,
who will henceforth receive $50 per month.

A NEW GUESSING GAME.

Some Curious Speculations as to Gun
conscious Counting"
There is an ingenious article on "uncon-
scious counting" in the January number of
the GartenLaube, 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 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
points to the well-known arithmetician
Dase, who died in 1861, and who declared
that be 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 a herd of sheep, of
the books in a library or the window-panes
in large house. The number of Bases is
probably such that were all the Bases of
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 dulest may
Join with the brightest. Apart, however,
from the utility of this new branch of
science, the method of teaching lis such that
if it is only practiced as game it may af-
ford amusement in many a 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 sheet of paper, then lift
ing the paper for 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 num-
Der if there are more than three to five OBJ
jects, but the eye becomes very soon &C.
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 is not done con-
scously, 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 rareF, 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

which it is not indigenous. No fish, indeed,
except its congener, the gold fish, has been
SO much transported by man from one
place to another; and this has been the
more easily and successfully accomplished
as the carp can subsist longer than most
fishes out of the water, if only kept moist.
The carp spawns in May and is out of
condition until July. Its fecund1ty is
greater in warm than in cold climates.
They are very prolific, more than seven
hundred thousand eggs having been found
in the ovaries of single carp of moderate
size. Carp prefer quiet waters, with soft or
muddy bottoms. Their food consists of
aquatic plants, worms, etc. 1t becomes
quite tame and can be fattened on lettuce
and similar pet vegetables as well as corn
mush boiled, potatoes and other articles
used on the table.
The carp is said to live to great age,
even to one hundred and fifty or two hun
dred years The carp deposits its spawn
on weeds.
There should be care taken in the culture
of carp. Like beginning any other business,
it should be done intelligently. The pond
should not be left in a crude condition, but
should have all the necessary adiuncts to
successful culture.
1t is said that much the larger quantity
of carp now sold in America are known as
the ''scale" carp, being entirely or nearly
covered with scales. These come from the
stock first imported from Germany. The
second lot of carp obtained by the Govern
ment were of the parti-scale type, called by
the Germans '1eather," mirror" ''blue
back" but all of the same variety, the
larger portion of the body being scaleless,
and each succeeding year the scales grow

The Little Trap which Made an Honest

John McMahal, year ago, lived In a
desolate little shanty near Twenty
sixth street. His subsistence was OBJ
tanned by the labor of his two daughters
and the sale of some little rat-traps
which he made. Finally he was taken
sick and was an invalid, as well as old
and weak and destitute. DIR. Samuel
Woody attended him, and on his recov-
cry obtained passage to Chicago for the
three.
Nothing was heard Of him again until
several days ago, when a welldressed
man and two handsome young ladies
called at DR.. Woody's Office on West
Walnut street. The trio proved
to be John McMahal and his
daughters. AS the old man shook his
former benefactor bv the hand he told, in a
few words, the story of his good fortune.
He had soon found employment in Chi
cago, and had so far recovered his health
as to be able to earn a good living. One
day he met a wealthy gentleman, and ex-
hibited his little trap, on which he had ap-
piled for patent. The following day
firm, of which the wealthy man was a
member, bought the invention for five
thousand dollars cash and q fifteen-per-
cent. royalty. He returned to Louisville

ing less. The parti-colored carp are the
kind sought after by people who under
stand carp culture. Figures 1 and 2 are
the parti-colored American food carp.
These are the best obtainable kinds. Fig
ure 3 is the scaleless kind and of the finest,
but not as yet generally introduced. No.
is the scale carp and is of the lowest type.
Carp may be raised in any sized pond that
will have water three to five feet deep. The
bottom should be of mud, so 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 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
off. The discharge should be from the
bottom. Wire cloth may be placed at the
bottom OF the sluce to prevent the carp es-
Gaping. Some carp culturists divide their
ponds into three sections with deep place
near the outlet of each
Carp may be prevented from escaping
from a 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
away by the ice in the spring. 1t can be
replaced before the carp leave their hibern-
ating places.

THE FARMERS FISH.

Where He Came From-The Different
Kind-Carp Ponds-How to Make Them
How to Get the Fish.
Since the United States Fish Commission,
with that able gentleman SpencerF. Baird,
first sent out carp to be distributed by the
different State Fish Commissioners to
propagate the fish in ponds and elsewhere,
there has been a growing demand, until at
present the industry is of largeproportions.
About thirty thousandpeople in this coun-
try are now known to be engaged in the
business.
The carp is a native of section of the
central countries of Europe, and CORE

of its value as an article of food, has long
been naturalized in many countries in
The Arizona sentinel., 1886-03-06

Carp must hav. air in the winter when
the pond is covered with ice to keep them
from suffocating. A very simple device
will obviate suffering to the carp. Take a
barrel and shove it threefourths it's length
down in through the ice, the open part of
the barrel downward. Bore holes in the
top, and cover well with straw. In this
way the air escapes through the straw and
barrel to the water, and the water in the
barrel will not freeze.
To keep thieves from dragging q pound
with nets, take poles three or four inches
Ia diameter, cut them so that they may be
driven well into the bottom of the pound.
Within a foot of the top have the poles
niched on opposite sides and sawed two
thirds off From these inches the pole
should project above the water about q
