Minutes fly.
Time goes by.
The air grows cold.
Summer and flowers
No more are ours,
For the year is old.
The dead leaves fall,
Bitter winds call
Through the branches high;
One by one
The days done.
And clouds go sailing by.
The morning bright
Follows the night;
The sun shines after the rain.
Joy chases sorrow,
Hope dawns with the morrow,
And happiness comes with pain,
The sun goes down;
fearful frown
Clouds face we love;
Hopes Stay fears,
Smiles chase tears,
And the bright sun rises above.

Xantippe Defended.

A girl at Pawtucket took for the sub
iect of her essay " A Defence of Nan
tippe." She pictured Xantippe as
comely maiden welded to a dusty,
fusty, old pedagogue, who would rather
sit up all night with an argument than
respond to a summons to dinner. She
was neat; he was unkempt and untidy.
He would not, like good husband, get
up and build the fire; he would go to
sleep in the doorway instead of his
couch, and he was always late at meals.
Instead of hoeing in his garden or rock
ing the cradle, he was out in the streets
of Athens spreading" himself over
abstruse theories and vague problems.
In fact, he was classical crank. She
was of the belief that Xantippe was
justified in pouring pail of water upon
the head of her spouse as he snoozed in
the doorway at the dinner hour, and
that the populace were not without
some ground for putting the cup of
hemlock to his lips, and which his
philosophy probably led him to demon
strate was three per cent Athenium
birch beer. The essayist handled a
difficult theme with grace and humor.

duced IA America by the commission, and
arc becoming very popular. The
distribution thus far In the
year has reached every congress

and more than half the counties. More
than forty thousand ponds and lakes have
been stocked with this species, iu many

Ash more than lG0,000,000 have been
placed In the great lakes this season, from
twelve to twenty-five million being placed
IN each, Shad Matching Is conducted on
larger scale than that Of any other fish
and with better results. The total pro-
duction this early Ia the season has
reached D0,000,000, which have been dis
trlbuted generally In our Atlantic coast
streams and tributaries Of the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers. The shad fisheries of
the Atlantic coast rivers have been
steadily improving and the aggregate
Of tbs present year Is the largest since
that Of 1872. As this species must
reach the fresh waters Of our rivers TO
spawn and AZ the present methods OF fish
Ing exclude the Ash IN measure from
the spawning grounds, we would natural
ly expect rapid depreciation In these
fisheries, such as was In fact in progress
before the commission attempted TO ar
rest 1t by artificial propagation aud plant
Ing. The steady and substantial increase
In the value Of these fisheries must DO at
trlbuted TO the tish-cultural work OF the
commission. The cost Of production has
also been greatly reduced by improve.
ments in methods and apparatus. Az the
Potomac river stations i!ty young shad
have been produced for every cent ex-
pended. The principal stations OF the
commission are situated at Bucksport,
Me-, where PenobsCot salmon are
brodi at Wyth.ville, Va, which is
II tr0ut.breedng statloni at Baird Sta
ton, Cal, also for trout; at Washington,
ID. g., where almost every variety are
propagated and where the central station
Is located, and at Woods Holl, Mass,
where the biological station Of the com
mission for the study OF marine life Is
situated. Here also the work OF Matching
Goldfish and Holsters Is carried on. The
methods OF the latter work have been
perfected during the present year, and
the magnitude Of the 1sh-cultural work
now contemplated there will constitute
new departure In the work OF the commits
! sion. Nearly all the states OF the Union
now have their fish commissions, whose
attention Is devoted TO replenishlng local
waters, all OF whom receive aid from the
national commission.
