THE CARE OF GOLDFISH.
Rules by Which They May BE Kept
Healthy For Years.

Goldfish are easily kept alive and
healthy for many years if one only
knows how to do it. Have you ever had
goldfish die shortly after you got them,
and did you wonder why they did not
live? / have. and not until had talk
with Mr.. Otto Eggcling, an aquarist, did
/ learn the reason why, besides some val
liable information in regard to aQuari-
ums.
Goldfish" said Mr.. Eggeling, SHOULD
never be kept in the so called globe or
circular aquariums. Constantly SWIM
ming around the vessel, they exhaust
themselves and die, sometimes after q
couple of days. Square aquariums are
best, and the vessel must be properly
filed with gravel and aquatic plants, the
more plants the better.
Furthermore, the fish should never be
kept In running water, and the water
should never be changed more than twice
a year, provided of course the aquarium
is properly constructed and has the nee
essary amount of gravel, aquatic plants
and the like. II this be the case, the car
bonic acid gas eXhaled by the fish is in
hailed by the plants in the water, and the
oxygen given out by the plants is breath
ed by the fish, thus producing an eQuali-
cation that keeps the aquarium in a
healthy condition and obviates the neces-
sity of changing the water.
when it is necessary to change the
water, it should be done in a warm room,
and the fresh water must not be of lower
temperature. In changing the water the
fish might easily catch cold, thing to be
avoided.
'There should be n number of tadpoles
in every aquarium. They not only eat
the waste material, but they form an in
teresting subject Of observation when
changing from tadpole into frog"
Mr.. Eggeling said in conclusion that
aQuariums were not only an ornament in
q room and instructive at that, but
healthy as we'll. The water in which the
fish are kept attracts all impurities and
keeps an apartment remarkably free Of
them.-New York Herald.

Sizes In Shoes,

every few shoe wearers probably know
that a size in shoes is only one-third of an
inch in length" explained shoe dealer
to the writer recently. This doesn't

a momentous affair. Two inches in a
waist or bust measurement are not as
apparent as onc-third of an inch in the

woman who has habitually worn No. 3
shoe, when necessity demands can don a

tain the integral number 3, which in some
measure compensates her for the added
fraction, but a new integer, No. 4, is dis
tasteful by reason of its formidable
sound.
''If shoes, like hats, could be graded by
eighths of an inch, she could take refuge
in a 3Is shoe and yet be comparatively
happy. From No. AZ to No. is still a

Winged with desire for worlds unknown, my soul
Absorbed itself beyond itself and free;
Floating in pure white fame, l thought to see
The immaterial vision Of lifes whole,
To find the sealed invisible unroll
And grasp the flying form of mystery.
But, 10, near earth born voices came to me,
Fraught with our common happiness and dole.
l felt a little child's glad love of life;
] wept with women in the house Of death,
Worshiped with sinners at the Virgins shrine;
Within all JOY, within all pangs of strife,
l touched the silent spirits quivering breath
And in the human found the light divine.

ment of friends. First obtain a smooth
head of a flour or sugar barrel, and
see that the pieces are all fastened
together, forming a circular board, or
any smooth board about a square foot
in size will serve the purpose.
Procure ten coat hooks of medium
size and secure them into the board,
arranging them as shown in the ac-
companying illustration, and mark
above each hook it's number, ranging
from No. 1 to No. 10. A hole may be
made in the upper end of the board
or a screw-eye inserted, by which to
hang it upon the nail in the wall.
No. 10 is a sort of "hull's-eye," and
each player, being given three of the
rubber rings, takes turns in throwing
them from Il position about ten feet
away, ~endeavoring to shook" as many
On the board as possible. A score is
kept of the points gained by each
player, the one first getting 100 points
being the winner. However, exactly
100 points must be made. For in.
stance, if a player has 90, he has to
work for Hook No. 1, as any other
hook would carry him over the mark

the game.
An advantage of the game is that
no noise is made nor damage done by
the rings, and it may be improvised

NATURE KIND IN CALIFORNIA
A Country Where the Farmer Is Not

we're Weather.

The New England farmer must for.
tify himself in his stronghold against
the seasons He must be ready to
adapt himself to a year that permits
him to prosper only upon decidedly
hard terms. But the Californian in
the country has, during the drought,
more leisure, unless, indeed, his ambi-
ton for wealth too much engrosses
him, says the International Monthly.
His horses are plenty and cheap. His
fruit crops thrive easily. He is able
to supply his table with fewer pur-
chases with less commercial indie
pendence. His position is, therefore
less that of the knight in his castle
and more that of the free dweller in
the summer cottage, who is, indeed,
not at leisure, but can easily deter
mine how he shall be busy. 1t is of
little Importance to him who his next
neighbor is. At pleasure he can ride
or drive to find his friends; can
choose, like the southern planter of
former days, his own range of hos
pitality; can devote himself, if a man
of cultivation, to reading during a
good many hours at his own choice,
or, if a man of sport, can find during
a great part of the year easy oppor.
