Pairing in the House.

There is absolutely DO protection thrown
about the matter Of arranging pairs in the
house. The only rule upon the subject
says that after the first call Of the day all
pairs shall be announced by the clerk. The
practice is for members making the pairs
to hand the announcement of them to the
clerk, who sees they are printed in The
Record. No questions are asked, and the
members fix up the pairs to suit them
selves. Thus, when a member is absent
and is not paired, he can telegraph to q
colleague and find some member ON the
other side in the same situation, when it is
arranged that The Record shall state that
these two absent members were paired.
One member who went to Europe with
out taking the precaution to get pair was
used to protect half dozen members in
one day. It was also found that he was
paired with member who never knew the
other man was absent from Washington.

in two years with comparative ease. Now
he has practically an unlimited quantity
Of this variety Of fish However, the pub
lie taste also calls for bass, and Manlove
determined 20 add this variety to his sup

Still another department" has been add
ed to the ''farm''-frogs. Four acres Of
shallow water, well grown in flags, were
set apart as breeding place for frogs.
They breed and grow rapidly. -Four thou
sand tadpoles were put into this breeding
pen. Many of them are now of market
able size, and are worth $3.50 and 50 q
dozen In catching them for market a
light at night IS used. They stare at the
light, and can be caught and handled with

winter the marketable fish are kept IN
small ponds.
Il is interesting to observe the water
for side purposes, but he needs neither,
plow, planter nor reaper. Suppose he has
gone out to feed. He has with him mix
dlings or other grain. He goes to the breed
ing pond, sounds gong or blows a whistle
and thousands Of frogs come hopping from
their shelter. They eat the food ravenous-
ly, and become so tame that the farmer
handles them as 8 woman does her pet
chickens. The same food is just the thing
for young and old carp. Fish and frogs
take to grain and grain products" said
Mr.. Manloye, like a boy does to apple
dumping. Part OF the season it is not
necessary to feed my stock at all. The
water grass seeds make the finest food for
fish, and at certain times of the year /
rarely prepare fish for the table that
do not find him filed with grass seed. -

Queer Facts About Goldfish.

Goldfish that swim in globes of water In

learn to rely on them TO foretell the coming

and never remain long in one spot, as in
mild, pleasant weather. They may be
taught, when kept in a large tank, to ap-

Another of their pecuharities is that they
may be frozen in lump of ice n December

Crazy Inventors.

Side by side with the greatest inventions
of the age are classed the craziest offsprings
of the human brain. Today some mighty
Edison patents an idea which lights the
world and tomorrow some lunatic offers a
plan by which all humanity can lift them
selves TO heaven by their boot straps. In
looking through the patent Office you are
surprised at the wisdom and the foolish
ness of mans intellect. The one is as great
as the other, and from the foolish point of
view it would seem that when an idea of a
patent creeps into an inventors house
common sense flies out of his window
