Father Paradise takes the entire respon-
sibility of the care OF his family. BY
the end of this time, he evidently thinks
that they are old enough to shift for
themselves; diving deep down into tho
water, he first takes good aim and then
makes grand rush for the center Of
the bubbles, distributing them to the four
quarters OF the globes Soon after this
the young Paradises should be scooped
up and put into a dish OF their own. as
there is no proof positive that after this
period, even the devoted father may not
so far forget himself as 40 eat some OF
his children in lieu of piece of beef

fishdom the world over.
Paradise fish rear several such families

thod of anaging household affairs never
pals upon ones interest One may count
upon thihd of such batch living out
their allotted time. Paradise fish should
always be kept in pairs. and breeding
them may become a very profitable busi-
ness. as they are really in great demand.
The water in which they are kept should
rarely be changed, and should be kept at
the temperature of the ordinary living
room The require a somewhat warmer
temperature than gold fish. These partic-
ular fancy fish should be fed once day
on prepared fish food and small bits of raw
beef alternately Earth worms, IL they
can be obtained without difficulty, are
really better than the beef Feeding them
never ceases to be an interesting per-
Torrance; the most convenient method is
of straw; the tiny creatures will make
rush for it, grasp bite and hustle
away, taking in this manner about a half
teaspoonfu day.
Before the little ones are old enough
to make a square meal upon fish food
or beef. a little stagnant water from some
nearby pool of water should be put into
their tank each day. as they will take
very kindly to the anlmalculae.
