Government.
The movement in favor Of fish and game
propagation and preservation, In this city
was given impetus last evening at a lee
ture by John w. Titcomb, chief of the
division Of fish culture, United States fish
commission, at the Public Library. The
lecture was the first of series to be given
under the auspices of the Fish and Game
Protective Association of the District Of
Columbia
Mr.. Tttcomb illustrated his theme with
excellent views Of fish life and fish culture,
which he collected during his twenty-five
years of study Of those subjects. His con-
Guiding remarks related to game, such as
deer and moose, but the lecture was essen
TALLY one pertaining to the fish world. He
delineated the progress of fish culture from
the time of its origin until the present He
spoke also Of the growth of the science, and
detailed his work of propagating fish life
in South America and his work in that
country two years ago.
Mr.. Tftcomb stated that fish culture is an
old science, dating back to the epicurean
appetites Of the Romans. and that goldfish
countries by the Chinese three centuries
ago. The details Of the capture and the
taking and Matching Of their eggs by the
fish commission experts and then the rear
ing and distribution of the young fish were
wildly told and illustrated with lantern
slides. The lecturer displayed a table of
statistics showing that during the admins
tration of the present fish commissioner,
Mr.. George M. Bowers, twice as many fish
were propagated and distributed as during
the entire period from 1872 to $685. The
speaker gave the history of the Vermont
Fish and Game League, and told how,
through its efforts, national and state
hatcheries had been established
Henry Talbot, vice president of the asso-
citation, made the Introductory address.

Dear me, how my education did get
mixed y said Sophronia. my father,
who is minister. taught me nearly all
l know about cooking, my mother was
the only school-teacher had until was
fifteen, and nd"-''Don't tell me any
lmore,' said Miss Glen, backing out of
the laboratory and waving a smiling
farewell.
The reason why Molly doesn't like
manual training said Hortensia, lis
that she had too much of it at home.
She was the eldest of those nine chill
dren, you know, and she thinks of that
sort Of thing as nothing but drudgery;
and, oddly enough, so does her best
friend. Edith Woods, who never served
a meal in her lite until she married poor
Jack Woods last June. If both of those
girls could have learned housekeeping
as science at school, Jack and Edith
verge of separation; and believe dear
Molly would have been in home of
her own, long ago"
Sophronia put her lunch-box out of
sight, ana rising, walked over to the
window.
It's almost time tor me to hear
Belle West rehearse, she said. but
before go | want to tell you that one
OF the strongest arguments for manual
training, ever saw. was Mrs. Dem
hams garden, that you remember
tod you she took me out to see. last
Saturday. She showed me her lettuce;
just up, but it would be ready for use
In few weeks; the peas, and they
would come along, weeks later; par
snIps. and they would not be ready
until next winter: and the young or
chard, set out between the rows, they
wol!dn expect any returns from, for
years. | asked her about water and
cultivation and she told me there were
hardly any two things that could be
treated alike, with good results. Hor
tensla. that's just like our school-room;
no TWO in it want just the same sort of
care. to do their bets,'
What a jolly idea" cried Hortensia.
lets. call Nerna Green our lettuce;
she crisp and curly and very early on
the market. And lanky John Stafford
can be our 'Johnathan;' m nothing but
whipper-snapper of lad now, but
Colorado will hear from him when his
harvest time does comet
| Now YOU are making fun of me-
sad >ophronia. But truly. Hortensia,
is J., bit more sensible to treat alike,
Internationally. a hundred or more boys
ard girls from all sorts of families, and
expect good results, than it would be
for Mrs. Denham to give everything in
her garden the same sort of cultivation?
tell you, if we are going to be one
half as reasonable about our schools. as
we are about our gardens, we shall
have to have manual training; for one
child can take in only through his
fingers, what another sees almost with
out looking; and you cannot blame, or
change, either one of them, for they
were made just that way
And MEANWHILE said HortenSia,
Il wonder how much longer we can
manage to keep Roy Craddock in
