Goldfish should be kept in a roomy
vessel where they cannot only turn
round but swim about, To keep
fishes In globes whose diameter is
only equal to twice the length of its

water is the best to keep them In, and

simple labors of the camp, shared

for boys, which have so multiplied of

which renders the youngster when

and Portland fancy succeed very
well. The time chosen Is the very
heart OF the. lovely autumn day.
Papas and mammas sit cheerfully In
pleasant mingling of sun and shade
and recall their own days of friski-
ness. But when the Virginia reel
is called their feet refuse to keep
still. They take hands and join In
the mirthful exercises until they are
well tired out and by no means I'M
willing to taste an excellent "bouilla-
