George wolls was at Morse's Big
Springs ranch and witnessed the work Of
draining MorSe's carp pond. He tells us
that the pond literally swarmed with
young carp, varying in length from one
to three inches, A great many patent
pailfuls Of tho young fish were taken out
and transferred to a new place prepared
for them. OF the thirteen carp origin.

pounds in weight each. When these fish
were introduced they were the same size
Of the young fry now in the pond. Mr..
Wells purchased 100 Of the young fish,
paying for them 95 cents each. Ho
offered Morse $25 for one OF the old fish,

Tha:iate Do Iesis wrote several
books on dieting which some people read
as they would the gospel truth, following
the exaeting rules witha fidelity and
precision worthy OF a better cause Or.
Lewis was no doubt tile cause Of very
large mortality among his fellow men,
for he laid down rules which were but
marching orders for the grave in many
cases; and yet he had more than an ordi.
liaIily large following as a dietist.
There is vast amount Of downright
folly in the operation called dieting,
especially when it Is under the direction
Of another. A few years ago some die
tistic crank gave out that oatmeal was
tie secret of long life and good digestion,
and the demand for the article became
enormous, OF late it has been discovered
that oatmeal is a positive injury to u
large number Of people. DR., McCosh Is
often quoted as a sample OF the bruef-
cent effects of oatmeal eating. but tile
learned doctor does not live altogether
upon the article, and he has, besides, a
naturally strong and rugged Scottish
constitution.
1t will not do to experiment much IN
dieting, nor to take anyboly's word
about any system Of food. Human
stomachs differ as human faces differ.
Some Of them Gun endure any amount of
imposition. Some OF them are as sensi-
tive as an electrical alarm sounded by
rising temperature. A child may fll It's
stomach with deadly green apples and
escape without a remote touch of pain,
while an adult eating the same danger.
Gus stuff would be laid in his coffin in q
fewhours. Nothing 50 tends to produce
chronic melancholy MS the continual
contemplation Of ones stomach Some
persons make themselves positively mis-
cradle by worrying about tho food they
eat, They deprive themselves OF the very
food which nature calls for, to follow tho
directions Of some cranky person, who
takes a perfect delight in counseling peo-
pie to live on bread and water or cracked
wheat, and to abstain from every article
which has pleasant flavor and which
makes ong feel good.
There Is only one sensible rule to fol.
low about eating. Each person is the
Judge Of his own stomach, and that
which he has discovered to be injurious
to himself he should avoid. This is tho
best system OF dieting in the world. II
requires simply resolution and determin.
alton. The man or woman who con.
tinues to feed upon that which injuries
deserves to suffer. Nature has placed
her own danger signals in our stomachs,
aud we will be perfectly safe IL we heed
them, But nature has no part or lot
