PHNNsGRovH, Jan "A 4-NotWithstand
Ing that the fishing grounds In the
Delaware river and Salem creek are
covered with ice, carp fishing still
continues TO prove a lucrative vocation
and ths demands on the market for this
species OF tho fnny tribe can hardly be
satisfied by the fishermen. The
extraordinary demand for carp has cen
tinusd ever since the first week In the
Fall, and tons have been taken In nets
from ths river and creeks and shipped to
New York markets, whore they are dis
pssod OF At fair price
Nearly all the nhad fishermen, who sx
periencsd a disastrous season last year,
have been following carp nshing, aAd
many Of them have more than made up
for losses sustained last Spring.
That the fishing is pre6tabls
can be seen from the figures
OF ths residents Of Upper and
Lower Penn's Neck. who havs received
ever 60 900 from the dealers for their
catches since July last, while At this
place three firms osntrol the market and
pay hundreds Of dollars for the catches.
On wednesday last over a ten Of carp

The Childrens Fresh Air Society.

1t Is always pleasure to write about
the work of the Children's Fresh Air
Society. This beautiful charity has
now been in operation in Baltimore
City five years and the work is grow
ing marvelOusly each year. During
these five years many neglected ''little
ones" have been taken from poverty
stricken homes, where vice abounds
and where a breath of fresh air is al
most unobtainable luxury, and have
been transported to the midst of green
fields to be ministered to by kind and
loving friends. Another year the
Fresh Air Society of Baltimore appeals
to those living in the country to take
these children into their homes for two
weeks, where they can have fresh air
for their little lungs, good country
milk for their hungry little bodies,
new ideals of living for their ready
little minds to see and perhaps try to
initiate, and love and kindness to make
happy memories in lives that have all
too few bright days. The Society pre-
fers to send the children in parties of
ten to sixty or more. Every expense
is paid by the Society, the children are
provided with suitable clothing and
are pronounced free from all contag-
iOus diseases. No salaries are paid in
the Fresh Air work. Further iufor-
nation may be had by addressing the

'Nativisn" In Paris.

The directors of the Paris Grand Opera,
in answer to criticisms that, although
subsidized, they were producing foreign
instead of French works, recently drew
up list by which they showed that
during the past 20 years they had
mounted 38 operas by Frenchmen and
only 6 by foreigners, the two outsiders
being Wagner and Verdi. NJ. Maurel,
the Partisan critic, has now carried the
statistics back to the beginning of the
century
1t seems that the last generation of
Frenchmen were not SO particular as to
the nationality Of musicians. From the
year 1900 down to the present time the
Paris Grand Opera has produced works
by 109 French and 50 foreign composers.
On the other hand, it appears that only
8, 934 performances of French operas
have during this period been given, as
against s, 149 representations of works
by foreign musicians The French writer
laments that his compatriots preferred
foreign works, although i'll fairness it
should be said that the list probably in
cludes the operas of Meyerbeer, Rossini
and other great masters of a previous
generation, who, although not French
by birth, were practically Partisan by
adoption. London News.

HOW the Gorgeous Beauty Bursts From

HOW the Gorgeous Beauty Bursts From
His Ugly Outer Shell.
Last summer noticed a milkweed
caterpillar travelling across the piazza
hoor, evidently in search Of his final
shelter. We secured him temporarily
under tumbler, but there, to our sur
prise, he proceeded to spin his little
web and hang himself head downward
from the bottom of the covering glass
in such wise that in the course of two
days we saw the whole process of change,
even to the splitting of the caterpillar
skin and the final wriggle from it that
changed him into the most exquisite
transparent, nile green chrysalis, but
toned with gold. Toward the end of two
weeks this began to grow opaque, and
gradually we saw from under it the
thorax, antenn@, head, wings and alb
dominal rings in perfect coloring of
black and red. One fine morning che
burst this outer shell of sin and Matched
himself" not "a cherubim," but a
more tangible aerial creature, though
not able to float off at once, as perhaps
even cherubim do not. No; his wings
were only as big as dime pieces "And
still the wonder crew. as we watched
them grow and unfold under our ewes
in breathless amazement, and one at
least i'll reverence and awe. It seemed
such definite change from death into
life. 1t was not so difficult then to i'm
agine soul freed from its mortal en-
velope since this marvel could be done.
The little creature, after expanding
to its full size, became very sociable,
liking to be held on the finger, and after
1 had once unrolled his proboscis with
pin and guided it to drop of sugared
water quickly learned to find his food
and sucked up drop ''in no time.
After few days he fioated ont of a
carelessly opened window, and 1 was
glad and sympathized, for 1, too, longed
to try my wings beyond four walls.
Milkweed caterpillars are common
enough (Danais Archippus, believe,
but cannot verify), and it is a most
charming and exciting experiment, es-
pecially for an invalid, to try.-Boston

Ministering to Quiet kentucky Flock.

Ministering to Quiet Kentucky Flock.
In a pleasant, social little Kentucky
town not long ago new minister arriv-
ed. Fervent in his mission against the
world, the flesh and the evil one and
not duly considering the points of his
compass, he delivered from his pulpit
the first Sunday TRADE against card
playing. On Monday the wealthiest
member Of his flock called on him and
said:
"Oh, dear Brother Parker, your SER
mon was very unwise. You will offend
half your people if you talk against
cards. We are just little quiet COM
tnunity all by ourselves here, and we
play cards whenever we want to. DON'T
say anything more about card playing. "
So the next Sunday the new preacher
launched out on dancing. Again the
wealthy member visited him to say that
his church people had always danced all
they wanted to, and he must not say
anything more against dancing. The
evil OF horse racing was his subject the
following Sunday, and this brought the
rich member to him in great distress of
mind.
Great goodness, Brother Parker, this
is one of the finest horse sections in the
state! You are beside yourself when
you try to put down horse racing"
well, said the respondent preach
a<, "if you say so I'll have to let these
evils alone. Next Sunday I'll abuse the
Jews"
"An right, " remarked the wealthy
member, "but don't overlook the fact
that I'm the only Jew in your congre-
