Why Carp Culture has Failed.

Mr.. ED1ToR:-Several years ago
many of our people went into the carp
business. Ponds we're built and stocked
with carp, furnished generally by the
government. Every neighborhood had
its pond which WAS full of promise.
Now you can never hear of carp culture
and, with one or two exceptions within
my own knowledge, some eight or ten
ponds have been given up to frogs and
water snakes, and yet We know that our
mill ponds especially on Lawson'a
Fork and Tiger are stocked with carp.
Only few days ago fine specimen,
weighing about 20 pounds, was sold on
our streets. Why is this After an ex'
perience of two years think I have
discovered the cause.
I am indebted to the failure for the
discovery. The. pond I experimental
with covers about three fourths of an
acre, the deepest part being s #. 1t was
we'll located and was fed by several
bold springs. All the conditions were
favorable and success seemed to be only
matter of time. 1t was we'll stocked
with both mirror and scaly carp and the
fish were fed pretty regularly.
The second year, which was last year,
gave us some fine fish, the largest weig h.
ing six and half pounds. The most we
caught was about the size of your hand
and were small fish when placed in pond.
This year we expected, of course, to get
great many more, but up to this time
only one has been caught, weighing about
pounds. I am satisfied that there are
very few there, and those few that are
there we're placed there.
This is about the history of all ponds.
I felt satisfied that there was cause
somewhere. I noticed on the surface Of
the pond the first year few small fish
and took them to be young carp. This
year there are thousands of them. /
felt sure that they were not young carp,
because they did not grow, whereas carp
will double its size in three months, and
they did not hibernate like carp. 1 got
few and placed themi in alcohol and sent
them to the u. S. Commissioner OF Fish.
cries, at Washington, for Identification.
Here is his answer:
DEAR S1R:-The small fishes accom-.
panied by your letter, have been identi-
fed and found to be the top swimmer.
(Gan,6rus;a patruelis.) The specimens
are all adult females and apparently ap-
preaching the breeding season. This
fish has no value except for food for
larger species and there is little doubt
that it consumes large numbers of the
eggs. 1t may, therefore, be called nui.
sauce in ponds. Its only interest is at
tached to its reproduction. The eggs
are hatched within the abdomen and the
young are not liberated until they have
obtained the length of about one third
of an inch.

Anecdote of Sir Edwin Arnold.

Especial OOIIGSpOhOSuCO.J
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5.--The cele-
DRAFTED author, Sir Edwin Arnold, is a
very charming man, endowed not only
with polished manners, but with a very
large idea of his own powers and capa-
bilities, and in this connection a jour
nalist Just returned from Japan tells the
following story:
It must be prefaced that the Japanese
tongue presents extraordinary difficulties
to westerners, as one set of words and
phrases is used upon ceremonious occa-
sions, and quite another among friends.
There are distinct forms for superiors,
EQUALS and interiors. So much is this
the case that men who have lived TWEEN
ty years in the country feel certain
nervousness when addressing strangers
OF speaking in public.
Knowing this, imagine the journalists
surprise to hear that Sir Edwin, just one
year in chrysanthemum land, had been
delivering lectures in the vernacular at
the Kyoto university. Travelling from
Yokohama to Toxic the news gatherer
had for companions an Englishman who
spoke Japanese fuently and a native
student of the aforesaid university. Nat
urally the journalist inquired how the
students enjoyed Sir Edwin Arnold's
lecture.
The Japanese are pre-eminently po-
lite nation, and the student looked up-
happy, wriggled, drew in his breath,
then said:
ssSir Arnold is very fine mana very
great man; he admires Japan" This
with pride. Then a look of yearning
and anxiety came over his face. His
lectures are very Observation-Disclosures,
oh, we would like so much to know what
he lectures about"
To cap the climax, the scribe was in
troduced the next day to Sir Edwin him
self, and almost his first words were an
apology for not calling as che was go
ing to lecture at Kyoto university"
The journalist had considerable diff

IGNITION an association known as The
National Alliance of the Daughters
of Veterans of the United States OF
America. AS it's name suggests, this,
body is kindred to the G.. A. R. This
order has heretofore been but little
known to the general public, and but
for the fortunate decision of its officers
to hold their third annual convention in
conjunction with the G. A. r. encamp-
ment it would perhaps have remained
in the darkness of semiobscurity.
The National alliance is the outgrowth
of society organized seven years since
in this city, and the formation of that
society was suggested by the daughter
of veteran soldier, partly through a
good natured desire to rival the efforts
of the local Sons of Veterans camp.
This suggestion, made on Memorial Day,
1855, was acted upon, and six days later
the first meeting was held.
A permanent local organization was
effected on June 10, and on Dec. II OF
the same year the secretary of state OF
Ohio granted the society charter. The
name of the wife of Ohio's present gov
ernor was chosen as title, and it is re-
lated of the apostle of protection that
one of the few occasions on which he
has exhibited signs of deep emotion in
public was when informed by delega-
ton of Daughters that their tent had
been named Mrs. Major Mckinley tent,
Daughters of Veterans. Miss Minnie
F. King, a sister of the present national
executive, and who died on May is, 1891,
was the first president of the original
tent, and tile other members We're N ellie
King, Bertha Martin, Harriet Knapp,
Olive Howald, Levo and Maude Stevens,
Name Huber, Maude Merrill, Frank,
Eva and Bertha Merwin, May Bowman
and May Mcmillan.
The little tent fourished under care
full guidance, and its influence soon be-
came manifest in the outside world. In
1887 the Daughters issued a charter to a
branch in Alliance, 0. The newcomers
adopted the name of Mrs. John A. Lo-
gan tent, No. g The honor was wisely
bestowed, for their namesake has since
shown her appreciation by innumerable
acts of kindness toward the tent. The
following year Prairie Depot, O., and
Quincy. Ills.-the latter named Caro-
line Scott Harrison tent-were char
tered, and Ada, o., followed in 1889.
When in the latter year an application
came from Keokuk, Ia, the necessity Of
creating a national association becan
obvious, and the original charter of Tent
No. was so amended as to adaptit for
such requirements.
A national constitution was adopted,
and Miss M. Estella Mcmillan, Of Mas
sillon, O., was chosen president at the
first national convention held at Quincy,
Ills, in June, 1890. Only Ohio, Illino
and Iowa, comprising 1874 members, were
represented at the meeting. The trainers
of this constitution were the Misses Mol
The Portland daily press., 1892-11-14

Daughters were accorded much atten-
lion by the Grand Army members and
by the citizens committee OF Wasnlng-
ton. The officers found it of great ad-
vantage to meet with the Grand Army,
and the benefits thus derived in adver-
Using the order were such that they
propose to meet at Indianapolis next
year in conjunction with the veterans.
Miss Nellie A. King, who was chosen
national president at Washington, was
born in the cradle of the order, Massil-
lon, where she is teacher in the public
schools. She is twenty-one years old
and is charter member of Mrs. Major
Mckinley tent. She was elected ma
tional vice president last year, and her
universal popularity is attested by the
fact that her recent nomination was en-
tirely the work of the Massachusetts,
delegation, and her election was made
unanimous by her fellow delegates. She
is an enthusiastic worker and her capa-
bility is unquestioned. Her father, now
deceased, was Valentine r. King, an
honorably discharged member of the
One Hundred and Seventh Ohio Volun-
teer infantry.
The captain who was placed in COM
mand of the national bark when it was
first launched was Miss M. Estella Nc
MILAN. She also is engaged in educa-
tional work in Massillon, and she was
largely instrumental in the formation of
the national department. Her reward
was the first presidency of the order,
and last year she acted as treasurer.
She possesses a wonderful capacity for
work, and has much executive ability.
Another national officer, the secretary,
Miss Bertha Martin, resides in the same
city. She is charter member of Tent
No. 1, and besides her national position
is the present mastering officer of Ohio.
She is an earnest and prominent worker
in the order, and has always been iden-
titled with its more important measures.
The reports of the last convention
show membership of 1,400, with tents
in twenty states. Fifteen hundred dol
lars were expended for charity last year,
besides 800 for flowers for veterans
graves. The Daughters are by no means
an aggressive organization, their prin-
