that the sun is the only agency that
paints the fish, but occasionally one is
found that grows to maturity and TO
the last retains it's dull, silvery color.
These are the albinos, and canot be
accounted for. They simply exist and
that is all that is known about them.
The food fish eats has nothing to do
with developing it's color. All the fish
in Spring Lake Fishery are fed exact
ly the same food, and it is undertaking
in quantity and quality. Toasted
bread and nothing else is given them
two or three times a week, and they
thrive upon 1t better than anything
else. 1t is well adapted to their deli,
cate organism, and with the natural
food, such as flies and worms, they
can capture. is recommended for use in
private aquriums.
The greatest difficulty with which the
goldfish raiser has to contend Is the
night-prowling animals, such as cats,
coonS and opossurhs. These animals
are very adept at catching fish, ana
experience little difficulty in securing
all they want of the domesticated gold
fish, which take alarm but slowly.
Snakes and crayfish are also destroyers
of the goldfish, and the most constant
vigilance is maintained to see that none
of those animals gain access to the
ponds. The goldfish is insectivorous,

DEATH The sting of some insects is
fatal, and for a common snake feeder
to deposit any egg upon one of the little
vertebrates means it's sure death.
The freaks ana unusual developments
in the fish are the varieties which al
ways bring the highest prices in the
market. Odd and rare colors and spots
and blotches are the kind of markings
most preferred by fanciers. Unusual
shapes in the fish are also very much
sought after and invariably bring high
figures. In physical development the
tail is the great favorite of nature, for
it is that appendage that receives the
most attention. Fish with two, three
four and even five tails are not uncom-
mon, and a few specimens with six
tails have been known, but they are
rare These abnormal developments
are always accompanied by the most
brilliant hues, and have been known 10
bring almost fabulous prices.
More than 100000 fish are in the
Spring Lake Fishery, and specimens
are sent every year into every state
and territory. The aquariums or near
Nv every country on earth have drawn
upon it for perfect specimens and FOR
information concerning the productlon
and care of the fish. Many of the royal
auuariums in Europe are kept replen-
ished from this fishery.
Goldfish in private aquarlums snould
be regularly fed, but never oVerfed, the
water should be kept fresh and at even
temperature, and the aquarium placed
in the dark at night.

GOLDFISH FARMIN INDIANA.
Novel Industry of Shelby County, In
DEMONSTRATING in Fish Scales


In Shelby county Indiana, about 80
miles from Indianapolis is the largest
goldfish farm in the world. Here the
original goldfish men of the country
have their propagating plant, and here
are produced some of the finest speci-
mems in the world The pets REQUIRE
careful and systematic raising that
is seldom considered by those who de-
sire to purchase them at small price
The farm is known as Spring Lake
Fishery, and consists of innumerable
small ponds. all connected by narrow
channels or or sluiceways, in which the
flow of water is controlled by water
gates. These ponds are con tructed
with careful regard for der h, size,
height of embankment and amount and
kind of shrubbery on the banks The
most careful consideration is given to
these details, for it has been demon
strated that they all each and collect
lively, influence the health and develop
ment of the fish and the perfecting of
the color, without which the goldfish is
valueless.
Immediately after it is Matched, the
goldfish is very much like any COM
mon everyday minnoW. and there is
nothing in its appearance to indica tie
the glorious hues it will aferward as
sumo. For more than a year it has
dull. whitish silvery color, which
gradually gives place tn the shadings
and blotches of color so well known by
fanciers.
Spring Lake Fishery is owned by l..
Shoup. who has spent his life in study
ing the habits of goldfish and how ma
ture may be assisted in her work of
coloring the little beauties. He has
found that the sun is the artist who
makes the delicate tnts on the film of
the fishes sensitive scales. But the sun
is variable artist and no two of the
fishes he paints are exactly alike. If a
fish is kept in the. shade from infancy,
it will always retain it's youthful, sill
very color, and will be a very ordi-
nary and in fact worthless fish, but
if it is allowed to bask in the sunny
shadows and to lie with it's sides ex-
posed on pebbly ripples, its scales will
absorb the rainbow tints of it's sun
light refracted through wavelets of
crystal water.
1t is not within the power of man to
define or regula tie the colorng of the
fish, but by careful attention to the ex-
posture to the suns rays he can make
the shades sober-hued or brilliant.
Generally there is the greatest demand
for bright colors, and those fishes are
produced in greatest numbers whose
markings are pronounced. There are
but few exceptions to prove the rule

In reviewing the performance of THE
Man in the Iron Mask recently. a
London critic pointed out an amusing
oversight. The play only describes that
the man locked up in the bastile for
seven years wore an iron mask, which
completely covered his face and which
was never removed. Under these cir
cumstances the critics want to know
how it happens that when the mask
is eventually removed the Wearer is
discovered to he neatly and carefully
clean-shaven. The query is, to say the
least, a staggering one.

Mrs. Fannie Lucas Eeatherston,

From the far-away home of my youth
l have just heard with deepest sadness
of the death of my beloved frien |, Fan
ME Lucas Featherston. / cannot re-
member a time when she was not dear
to ME. Ours was a friendship which
came to us as an inheritance, for it be-
gan with our mothers and her grand
mother. Among the most precious and
fragrant memories of my childhood are
those which belong to her: the frequent
visits at her home in which the dear
father would join our games and pianks
while the sanity mother looked on with
delight; at our school in all our lessons
we were side by tide, and again in all
the pleasures that followed as young
girls in society. So sweet and beauti-
full u character was not often e |
can scarcely imagine its perfection when
each day surely added a leaf to the crown
of glory which she now wears. TO those
who loved her most and to whom she
was nearest, as well as the entire CON
munity which grieves for ner less Igive
the loving tribute of my tears and my
sympathy. If l could choose a flower
to lay upon her grave it would be a pure
white rose. typical of her stainless life.
1t is always a regret to us, wheh one
whom we have 10, ed has passed in the
silent land, that we have not oftener
slipped away from the throaging cares
Of life to speak the affectionate thoughts
lying in our hearts. How often since
we parted have | lived over the old days
with Remembering about the grounds
of the old Calhoun Institute, busy with
our books free As birds under the gentle
hand Of our beloved teacher, Mr.. Poin-
dexter. As the years have flown and
half a life time came between us, she
has vet stood a conspicuous figure in the
always beloved vanished past. Dear to
my heart must my childhood's home
ever be. and through all the mutations
Of fortune, and in distant lands, the
voices of an affection never severed have
called to me always. The glories GER
tainly Of a blessed Immortality lighted
her passing, and because we also know
there is no death We can raise u strick-
en- hearts, triumphant over grief, to the
God she loved and served, knowing that
one day His mercy shall also receive us.
