FISH ON THE FARM.

Every farmer who can should prac-
tice the culture of fish, if it is only
that of the carp. The inland parts of
this vast country are necessarily de-
prived of the ocean fish, and must de-
pend on supply from fresh water.
And there is water enough in the lakes,
great and small, and the rivers and
brooks, to produce an ample supply
for every family. If it can be done,
the best kinds, as trout or bass, should
be grown. But otherwise there is
nothing the matter with carp or perch.
Carp isa fast-growing fish, and quickly
reaches weight of three or four
pounds. 1t is far better fish than
the well-known sucker, and this is
gladly made substitute for better
ones wherever they abound.
Any small stream, the flow from
some swamp, if gathered into pond
by digging it out, or the ordinary
drainage from some higher land into
a puddled basin, will make good carp
pond. This fish will live in water that
warns up to eighty degrees in the
summer, and will feed on the roots
and stems of any kind of aquatic
plants that grow in such water. So
that low dam to retain the water, a
muddy bottom, in which the fish bury
themselves to pass the winter in DOR
mant condition, and plenty of aquatic
vegetation-as the water grasses,
water cress on the shallow borders !;
water lilies, and the yellow caltha, the
marsh marigold, the leaves of which
make pleasant table vegetable in the
spring---wili together afford abundant
feeding for the fish, which are wholly
vegetarian in their food. The fish will
eat small pellets of bread or dough,
and will come to the hand for such
food, and may thus be easily taken
out with hand net, for as they will
rarely take hook unless with such
bait as this, they are not always to be
got when wanted. New York Times.

1t IL well to point out that his most re-
cent effort to uphold the existing tariff
reform measure was entirely devoid Of
the slightest semblance of fact or
veracity. This Baron Munchausen Of
the Tariff Reform" party says:
''That under the Mckinley tariff the
importations of wooden goods were
greater than under the present tariff.
If a schedule of expectations of woolens
were made up for the corresponding
periods, they would probably show a
contrary resultant is larger exporta-
tons now than then"
Mr.. Godkin was toe lazy to add to-
gether each months figures Of our im-
ports and exports, but he published an
imaginary half years imports simply
by cutting in half the returns of III i'm
ports for the year ending June 80, 1892,
comparing them with imports Of
woolens during the six months ending
Feb. %, 1895. which latter were given
at $17, 8 ZOE. Mr.. Godkin convenient
~ forgets to tell his readers that his
tariff reform rates on wooden manu-
features did moi take effect till Jan. l.,
1895, and that during three months
only, ending March 81, 1895, our i'm
ports Of all wooden goods reached &c.

49, tin, which deals with the occu-
pations Of the people Of the United
States. The most noticeable fact 10 the
continued dssertion Of the farms and

The most remarkable feature Of this
city's growth in "gainful occupations"
ID the enormous increase-28 per cent.
lin the number Of women employed -
compared with the figures Of 1880. Ac-
cording to this bulletin no less than

Of age are now engaged in "gainful oc-
cupations." The total Of working PEG

10 . gain Of 1881, 654 women since 1880,
or q rate Of increase nearly three and
one-half times as great as the increase
Of workingmen. Trade and transpor-
tatlon have received the largest share
Of these women. They have gone into
Offices and stores az clerks, bookkeep-
ers, stenographers, cashiers, typewrit-
ers and saleswomen. Into every place
where these million and q quarter Of
feminine employees have gone they have
driven out men and have worked for
smaller wages, even in proportion to
the amount Of labor done. Thus the
employer has been the sole gamer, and
the community, In so far as 1t has had
to support idle men in consequence, has
been the loser.
Industry and ambition are good traits
In women Al they are in men, and no
one will deny the right of q woman to
enter the Office or the work-room II she
prefers this to the kitchen, to the sew
ing-room, OF yer to the parlor. But
1t must be admitted that the present
phase of the transition which is taking
place in women's occupations Is pro-
ductive of no apparent good to herself
or to the race. Where q dozen ambi-
tious women force themselves into trade
because they wish to, a hundred are
compelled in consequence to work
against their Wills because Of the dis
turbance produced in the salaries Of
their fathers and brothers. 1t IL q
pity h census bulletin could not tell
us how many of these new women are
In trade from pure choice, and how
many from an unwonted~ necessity that
has arisen in consequence Of the dis
turbed economic conditions produced
by the rush Of men toward the cities
and Of women into commercial pursuits.
The disturbance, however grevious for
the time being, is not M that calls for
legislation. 1t is Of those things
that must solve itself. In the meantime
1t Is hard to tell which deserves the
most sympathy-the toiling woman or
the idle nan whom she has thrown out
Of employment and whom she 10 in duty
bound to support.
