and Matching the eggs Of the adult

and generally, the culture OF fish has
been accompanied by the enactment
OF strict laws iorbiddlng destructive

that is when the iemale'flsh Ii with

IN the haphazhrd and wasteful way
provided by nature. All the eggs
taken from the mother fish are care
fully saved, all are exposed 10 the

souni are carefully fertIlised. The
eggs are then spread out In shallow
vessels with suitable bottom for the
little globules TO adhere without ball
ing In numbers with each other A
gentle current IL kept flowing over
them and In few days they begin
to hatch. The little fish are cared

experience has shown to be tho best

TO which they are best adapted

one tablespoonful of sugar, one-half
teaspoonful Of salt, one-quarter Of
cup Of yeast and two cups of flour.

to make a stiff dough. Knead and
let it rise again, then add one-quar-
ter of a cup Of butter, rubbed to .
cream; half a cup of sugar and one
egg. beaten with the butter and
sugar. Let this rise in the bowl
until light. Shape into round bis
cults, place in a pan close together,
that they may rise high. When
ready to bake, rub the tops with
sugar dissolved in milk. Sprinkle
with dry sugar and bake in . mod
crate oven.
Another recipe for rusk is one
pint of milk, scalded; one-half cup
of butter and lard mixed, three
quarters OF cup OF sugar, one cup
of potato yeast, three eggs, -four
as required. Mix early in the morn
ing in the order given, adding -four
enough to make thin batter. Let
the sponge rise until full Of bub-
bles, then add -four enough to knead
it. When we'll risen, shape into

A Fatal Duel Between Sheer,

The skull of one of the four horn
cd races of sheep, of Spanish origin,
was exhibited at the last meeting Of
the Geological society and excited
much interest on account of the
brain case having been split in two
by another ram of the flock during
one Of the butting duels which they
are in the habit of fighting. Retir,i
ing a few yards, with heads lowered,
they rush furiously at one another,
meeting with terrific force. The
shock of the collision is received by
the horns, and the sound can be
heard for a great distance. In the
present case the shock was so vio-
lent that instantaneous death was
the result. 1t is not known whether
the other combatant suffered injury.

Rice and dried fish are the uni
form food of the Japanese army in
campaigning times. This is the way
in which the rice is cooked: 1t is
boiled until quite thick and gluti-
nous. Next it is placed on a ceramic
slab, rolled out and cut into squares.
The squares are then placed in the
sun to dry and often turned. When
hard as sea biscuit and greatly re-
duced in weight they can be stored.
A certain number are allowed each
day to the soldier. All he has to do
is to break up square in boiling
water and to add the dried fish. In
q few minutes he has what seems to
him a delicious thick soup. If he
cannot procure boiling water, he
simply eats his rice cake dry. In the
fruit season he substitutes fruit
when he can obtain it for the fish,
