Costly Fish.

The most beautiful and costly fishes
in the world come from China, and the
rarest and most expensive Of all is the
brush-tail gold fish. Specimens of
these have been sold as high as 500
each, and in Europe the prices range
from $3.50 to $500. The brush-taii
goldfish is SO small that five-shilling
piece will cover it, and probably there
Is no living thing Of its size and weight

Growth OF Mohammedanism.

Mohammedanism Is by far the most
formidable enemy that Christianity has
to encounter. Prof. Vasilief, who has
given much thought to the subject in
China, says that Islam is spreading
rapidly in that country. And Rev: Mr..
Dean, of the United Presbyterian
Church Of Calabar, on the coast of Up
per Guinea, in Africa, says the Moslem
missionaries are meeting with great
success in those parts.

quantities of fertilizer were as bene-

Crowded Grain Does Not Rust,
The reason why grain does not al
ways rust In moist. warm weather Is
because. as usually sown, the, plants
crowd each other so that none get an
over supply of the plant food which
such weather develops. In our hot
summers, even when dry, 1t would not
do to hoe the small grains like wheat,
as Is done by, English farmers. The
hoeing would not make any more
plants, and It does inereasesthe supply
of nitrogen In the soil. The American
substitute for hoeing small grain Is to
roll or harrow 1t while 1t Is young
enough to tiller. This checks the
growth of leaves already formed, at
the same time mellowing the soil and
causing new shoots to put forth. This
will on rich land make rank growth
that will have strong straw and will
not rust. If. however. the soil be de-
fcient in mineral fertility the heads of
the grain will not I'LL as they should
do, and this often occurs when the soil
has plenty of heterogeneous fertilizers,
causing a rank growth Of straw.
