300 Carp in a Cabbage Patch.

Eight hundred carp in a cabbage
patch will give a slight idea of the
number OF these fish In Canandaigua
lake. The connection may not at first
be plain, but it must be understood
that the lake and the cabbage patch
are adjacent.
Thomas Rafferty,, who owns a farm
on the east shore of Canandaigua lake,
about three miles from the village.
went out to his cabbage patch the other
day and found 1t covered with dead
and dying carp, some Of them OF 10
to Is pounds weight
They had invaded the land during
the high water of Sunday, and had
been left stranded by the recedlng
waters.
Rafferty, didn't consider this a piece
Of good luck. He could not get rid OF
the fish all alone. and soon his neigh
bors came to him with loud com.
plants and threats to have him in
dicted for maintaining a nuisance.
Finally he called on the village
board of health for aid There were
more than 800 Of the fish.-New York

What ChristinnitY Is.

Christianity is that historic religion
founded by Jesus of Nazareth. and
having its bond Of union in the re-
dcmption mediated by Him. in which
the true relation between God and man
has for the first time found complete
and adequate expression. and which
throughout all the changes of intellect
ual and social environment which the
centuries have brought, still continues
to maintain itself as the religion best
worthy of the allegiance of thoughtful
and worthy men.-Schlelermacher.

Give Russia the Credit.

It is a singular fact that Russia is
the country which first gave the great.
est encouragement to the woman doc
tor. The Woman's Medical Institute
in ST Petersburg, on its foundation,
was hailed as the only place in the
world where a woman could take out
medical degrees. But, in 1886 Min.
lister Warrowsky closed it. Now it
has suddenly come to life again, the
car has given it an endowment, and
It's students have all the privileges
hitherto accorded men. Why and
wherefore? Because the war is taking
all the men doctors, and If their places
are not filled the unhappy empire is
at the mercy of any epidemic that
may come along.

How Residence In Washington

A prominent newspaper man was

exchanging anecdotes with a couple OF
friends.

Texas, and started paper" said the
newspaper man, land his evident idea
was to reform mankind.
HE published his paper right along
for while, striking lusty blows in
behalf of poor, fallen man, but the
time came when Austin proved too
contracted field for his genius, so
he decided to remove to Washington,
publish his paper there, and wreak
havoc among the cormorants in their
very nests.
"Well, he hadn't been in Washing
ton but a few days when he was pre-
scented with pass over all the street
car lines in the city. Then he was
given a railroad pass. then another,
and finally met the president Of big

when he got his first pass his
hatred OF the 'cormorants' was weak
ened just little, and as the others
came in he grew still more and more
tolerant. Just after his interview
with the railroad president he CHANGED
to meet a friend on the street.
"Well, how's the crusade against

inquired the friend.
