them. The fish grow rapidly and
soon make a size suffi Gent for
use. When / first procured mine
they were seven or eight inches
long, and spawned the first year, fixing
the eggs to the grass which overhung
the water and was submerged in it.
The second year they were large enough
for use, and made a most acceptable
addition to the domestic supply. But
they must be we'll fed to make quick
growth, and the pond must not be
crowded. This will be prevented by
of half-inch mesh, through which the
small fish can escape to the lower
ponds. The fish may be driven from
one pond to another through the gates,
and in this way the large ones may be
kept in the upper pond and the small
fry lower down.
My ponds paid al, the cost of them
the first year by the ice they furnished,
and as the farm was run as dairy, this
supply was quite valuable. Another
valuable return was the muck that was
dug out and used for litter in the sta
bles and for compost, and still another
was the water crosses grown in the
shallow water of the lower pond. This
brought me IS cents peck basket in
the New York market, and $1.5O per
basket in the winter from the part OF
the pond which was protected by hot
bed sashes. Few farmers who have all
these facilities take any account of the
value of a water annex to the farm,
but such part of farm may be often
made to pay many times the value Of
as much dry land.-H. Stewart, in

INJURIOUS ATHLETICS.
Premature Death Brought ON by o.
ExertfOn.

Premature Death Brought ON by Over
Exertion.
Health and strength are greatly COW
eted, but it is susceptible of demonstra-
ton that both are ultimately lost by
entertaining. Twenty-Five years ago
John G. HeenaD, who in 1859 was put
forward as the American champion in
the prize ring, and who was then in
splendid physical condition, died of
consumption. He was overturned, as
many another man has been since, with
like result Exercise is useful, but it
must be taken in moderation. 1t is dis
tinctly fault of the time, especially
in colleges, that in the pursuit of mus
cular development through athletics
great physical harm is done where
great physical help is the aim.
Sir Morell Mackenzie has gone deep
~ into the subject and has Thought
fully pointed out the dangers of over
physical training, especially when the
exercise, increased to violence, com
mences during the growing age. Not
only should such training avoid excess,
it should also aim in moderation at
general, not special, development.
The arms should not be specially
str enlightened and the legs neglected.
good oarsman ought to he good
runner or jumper if nature were per-
mitted its way, but an ambitious ath-
lete looks to special success exclusive
ly and as his training lies in that di-
rection he gains for one part of him
self at the expense of otherparts. The
athlete struggles really forta prema-
ture death.
That exercise is best which children
get in play. There is then natural
wholesome and enduring development
of lung and muscle without overtaxation
of head or heart. Who strives through
hard training to become celebrated for
muscular prowess does SO at the ex-
pense of his health and length of days
that ordinarily ought to be his. In the
overlooking of the common schools the
gymnasium forms part 1t may sue
coed in setting boys up, as the military
phrase is, but it is quite unnecessary,
even if not positively dangerous, for a
boy of normal growth following nat
ural impulse will get in ordinary games
all the physical training that will be
of real benefit. Men would live longer
if they had greater trust in nature

superstition Of tho shirt.

One of the queerest superstitions that
ever entered the human head is that OF
finding the body of a drowned man by
means of his shirt. Last spring a man
was drowned in the river in front OF
the East St. Louis levee. Search was
made with boats for the body, but
without success. Someone recalled the
superstition. and the searchers took
the shirt the man had laid aside when
he went in bathing, spread it out on the
water and let it float away. 1t fioated
for awhile and then sank, and they
searched for the body where the shirt
went down and, sure enough, found it
not far away. One case of this kind,
of course, does not make rules but
tn g man who bossed the job in this in
stance said he had seen it tried dozens
of times and it never failed. st Louis

Solar system.

The Enormous Force Contained In the
Solar System.
"All the energy in the world" said
DIR. G. f. Chandler. in recent lecture
before the Column bia School of Mines,
comes from sunshine. Even the en-
ergy in the electric battery that rings
the doorbells OF our homes has its orr
gin in the light of the great solar sys-
tenn. The force in the copper wire that
sets the bell to ringing. comes from the
zinc plate in the battery jar. The en-
crgy in the zinc plate comes from the
anthracite coal with which it was
burned when taken from the mines;
and finally, the energy in the anthra-
cite coal was put there by the sunlight
that fed and nourished it when it ex-
iste1, ages ago, as trees and plants.
An interesting misapprehension that
exists in the minds of good many
persons is concerning the vital dangers
that Turk in the pressure of. say, a
thousand volts. The newspapers often
tell us that a man has been killed from
such pressure, whereas, in fact, such
pressure alone could not kill a hum
ming bird. ! have frequently caught
in my hand sparks possessing an cleo
tro-motive power of one hundred thou
sand volts without feeling anything
more than very slight burn. The
danger arises only when the volts are
reinforced by good many amperes or
currents, and when one takes hold of q
charged wire. Then one feels shock
that is unmistakable, because the force
of great many currents in the wire
suddenly decompose all the fluids in
his body. The salt In the blood at
