UoiuHsn Tn Japan.

Although the goldfish occurs in a wild state in Japan, it is probable that China some 400 years ago furnished the stock from which the wonderful varieties of Japanese goldfish have been bred. It is reported that in feuda days, even when famine was abroad in the land and many people were starv- ing, the trade in goldfish was flourish ing.
 The demand at present appears to be without limit, and the output shows a substantial increase each year. Many thousand people make a living by growing goldfish for the market, uno hundreds of peddlers carry the fish through the streets and along the coun try roads in wooden tubs suspended from a shoulder bar.
 The leading goldfish center is Kori yama, near the ancient capital of Nara Here are $50 independent breeding es tablishments, whose yearly product runs far into the millions. One farm which I visited was started 40 years ago. At first it was conducted merely for the pleasure of the owner, but it eventually became commercial enter prise and is now very profitable.-Na- tional Geographic Magazine.

African Grosbecks.

The social grosbecks of South Africa live in lazge societies. They select a tree of considerable size and literally cover 1t with grass roof, under which their common dwelling Is constructed. The roof serves the double purpose of keeping off the heat and the rain, and 400 or 500 pairs of birds are known to have the same shelter. The nests in this aerial dwelling are built in regu- lar streets and closely resemble rows of tenement houses.

They have eight cen horses for farming, and driving purposes, small bunch of steers and q hog pen that brings them from $50, to $500 clear profit every year.
 Theirs is one of the best farms ill that neighborhood. Most of it is plant cd in corn and wheat, but they are raising all of the ordinary crops. The young women do all of the field work -plow, SOW and reap; put up their own fences, dig their own drains, re- pair their own machinery and employ no men hands, except occasionally at harvest. Most of their farming is done with machinery of the most i'm proved, up-to-date character, and their crops are equal to any raised in the neighborhood. For convenience they dress in mems clothing while in the fields, but when the days work is over they resume their petticoats. They are good looking and well educated, take daily newspapers and the leading magazines, and two of them are grad uates of the agricultural college at Manhattan.
 Several other farms in this neigh. borhood are managed by women, and women are engaged in other kinds of business. A real estate firm of women at Cottonwood, Kan, recently negoti- ated the sale of 50,000 acres of land in the western part of the state. This firm Is very enterprlsing and is well known throughout Kansas, Oklahoma and Indian Territory. It has done a good deal of real estate business for the railroad companies.
