The abovo remark win addressed to Mr. Soth Orcon, tho veteran (Uh onl turist, who is known to tho enliro world, and his reply indicates tho ox tent of his labors. "When I was young," ho continued, "1 would lio on tho limbs of trees that roached over.tho water entiro after noons watching the movements of tho fish and Btudylng their habits. In this way I discovered many characteristics which wcro before unknown. I saw, as every observer must seo, tho do Btructivo elements that aro warring against fish, and I realized that unless something wcro done, tho life in tho streams of this country would become cxtiuct. To counteract this disastrous cud becamo my life work, and I am happy to say I havo seen its accom plishment." "Wore you successful on tho start V "No, indeed. Up to that timo all artificial attempts to hatch and raiso fish from tho spawn had failed, and I was compelled 'to experiment in an ontirely now manner. Tho work was a careful one, but I finally succeeded, and to-day I am able to hatch and raiso fully soventy-tivo per cent of all spawn." "Enormous 1 Why, that is a larger percentage, than either the vegetable or animal kingdoms produco in a natural condition." "I know it, but wo exercise tho greatest caro in tho start, and guard tho littlo fellows until thoy become able to caro for themselves.'' Tho foregoing conversation occurred at Caledonia whoro tho representative of this paper was paying a visit to tho state fish hatcheries. It has been his priyilego to report very many interest ing sights within tho past tweuty.fivo years, but the viow presented here ex ceeds in interest anything ovor boforo attompted. "How many fish are thero in those ponds, Mr. Greon ?" "As wo have nover attempted to count them it will bo impossible to say. Thoy extend way up into tho millions though. We shipped over three millions out of the ponds this year and there seemed to be as many afterward as be fore Wo havo nearly every variety of tho trout family and many hybirds." "You speak of hybird3. Mr. Green. What do you mean by that t" "I have experimented for years in crossing the breed of the various fish and am still working upon it. We cross tho female salmon trout with tho male brook trout, and thus produce a hybird. Then we cross the hybird with the brook trout, which gives us three quarter brook trout and one-quarters salmon trout. This makes one of tho finest fishes in the world. Ho has all tho habits of tho brook trout, lives in both streams and lakes, devel ops vcrmillion spots on his sides, rises readily to a lly, is far moro vigorous and fully one-third larger than ordi nary brook trout of tho same ago. Tho possibilities of development in tho fish world are great and we aro rapidly as certaining what they are." As tho man of nowh watched the countenance) of Mr. Green while ho was giving tho above account, ho could not but feel that he was in tho presence of ono of tho fow investigators who, from a rich acd life-long experience, bring great benefit to the world. Let the reader imagine a strong and stal wart frame, surmounted by a head strongly resembling that of Socrates, and covered with a white silky beard and luxuriant gray hair. Seth Green, tho father of fish culture, is a picture of health, and tho reporter could not help remarking so. "If you had seen mo the last winter and spring, young man, you might havo thought differently,'' said tho vet cran. "How is that ? One would think, to look at you, that sickness was some thing of which you knew nothing." "And so it was until last winter. 1 went down into Florida in the fall to seo what kind of fish they had in that Btato and study their habits and was attacked with malaria' in its severest form, and when I carao homo I realized for the first timo iu my life, that I was eick. My symptoms were terrible. I had dull, aching pains in ray head, limbs and around my back My appe tite was wholly gone, and I felt a lack of energy such as I had often heard described but had never experienced. Any ono who has ever had a sovere at tack of malaria can appreciate my con dition. I wont to bed and remained thero all tho spring, and if thero ever was a sick man I was one." 'It seems hardly possible. How did you como to recover so completely f "My brother who had been nfilictcd by a soyere kidney troublo and threat ened with Bright's diseaso was com pletely cured by a remedy in which I had great confidence. I thereforo tried tho same remedy for my malaria and am, happy to say'l am a well man to-day and through tho instrumentality of Warner's Safe Cure, which I believe to be ono of tho most valuable of me dicines. Indeed, I seo it is endorsed by tho United States medical college of New York, and that Dr. Gunn, dean of that institution, has written a long articlo concerning its value." "And aro you not as well as former ly r "Apparently so. I keep the remedy on hand all the while though and do not hesitate to recommend it toothers." "One question more. How many ponds of fish havo you hero and how aro thoy divided 1" "Wcli, wo havo 13 ponds which aro divided up as follows : 22 ponds of brook trout, 2 ponds of salmon trout, 1 of McCloud river or rainbow trout, 2 ponds of German trout, 3 of California mountain trout, 2 ponds of hybirds 1 of one-quarter salmon nnd three-quarters brook tiout, 2 ponds of gold fish, and 1 pond of Carp. Then wo havo what wo call tno centennial pond ot 'nappy tami ly,' consisting of crosses of different fish, including Kcnnebeo salmon, Land Locked sahnon,California salmon, brook trout, ealmon trout and hybirds. These fish range In size from minnows to 18 pounders, and iu ago from one-and ono half months to eleven years. I forgot to say, also, that wo have a 'hospital pond which is entirely ompty, which spvaks pretty well for a community of many millions. Indeed the whole secret of fish culture can bo summed up in four things. Impregnation, using no water. Plenty of food. Plenty of puro water nnd cleanliness." Tho numerous fish exhibitions which aro taking place In all parts of Htiropo and tho unusual interest which is being manifvBted m this siu-jeet throughout tho world all owe their origin to the ' process above described as originated and conducted by Seth Green. It is ceitalnly cause for congratulation to every American that this country pro duces so many men whoso genlusjbrings vaiuo to tno world, and It is proot posi tivo of the greatest merit that a remedy even with pitch high standing ns War ner's Safo Cure Is Ttnowu to have should bo so stroimly endorsed and recommend ed by one ho reputable nnd reliable as tsetn u recti. Common Weeds. Many yoats ngo we had not as many doctors as we have now. The roads wcro bad, nnd people lived ut great ut8iances. n was men mat nerus or "simples," ns they used to call them, wcro in ureal demand, and the trood housowlves and mothers lcatucd to ho very skillful, in cases ofsickms., in the art ot making lieiilum drinks and olnt incuts, which wore of ureal ellioaoy. And what do you think they w ro mado of T Why, only tho simple wild flowers or roots that grew all around their very doors. Hut except In re mote country places, where they sol dom drop old customs, tin ho simple medicines have gone quite out of fash ion, and now-a-days people when they aro ill send tor a physician, take just what bo gives them and pay him a tre mondous fee, when at tho saiuo timo thoy do not dream that they are often receiving lrom him ns simple a remedy as their groat grandmothers look, years aim years ago, lor the very same uts case only the nanio has been chatiKod in these later days. For instance, if you co into a Iru store and look among the long row ot labelled bottles you will find one marked Taraxacum. Now this Is a hard Latin name, and perhaps you havo no idea what it means. You will find it to bo a very old friend of yours, perhaps tho very commonest in tho lano where you walk every day. the dandelion An other fanciful label is Tussilago ferf'a ra, which is nothing more nor less than coltsfoot, so called from tho form and size of tho leaves, which aro round and ns large as tho palm of tho hand a marguerite of n brilliant yel low, tho rays as fine aud slender as hairs. From the timo of Hippocrates this flower has been supposed to have a salutary inlluenco on tho luugs, and has long been employed to soothe irri tation of tho air passages in cases of asthma. The cotton of the leaves, wrapped iu a rag in a solution of salt petro and dried in tho sun, mado an excellent tinder in past times, when we hnd no lucifer matches. Liquorice is another of tho plants which is Glycyrrhiza glabra, a very hard nanio that botanists havo given to this simplo plant but botanists aro fond of hard nam s 1 Tho Digitalis that exercises such a daugerous inrhtenco over man, imped ing the circulation of tho blood, and which no animal ever touches, is tho foxglovo with its stem of rose-colored flowers, tiger spotted, and whito with in, abundantly skirting the woods in whose bhado and coolness it dolights. Who would havo thought that Nab ulus Albus was only tho common whito lettuce, or that Iidrastis Can adensis was the littlo lilac-colored flow er of tho oolohieutu which enamels the meadows in tho autumn, cominc with out leaves or supports ? luany plants such as hoarhound, an gelica and others, do not seem to bo recognized as plants at all. Thoy aro sweet stuff 1 Hoarhound, with its many stalks a cubit high, covered over with a thin white down, is cultivated for tho sake of tho extract, and mado into candies aud other forms. While the peppermint, with its pretty purple flowers, is sold to tho druggists, and distilled for oil. We are all apt to look upon tho nettle, tho very disagree able, stinging plant, as good for noth wcr. Out to be rooted up whenover it is found ; but if this poor despised plant can cause pain by its sting, it can also reliovo pain, for if you were to mako a drink, by boiling its roots iu water, it would entirely removo tho irritation of the skin, caused by that painful com plaint, the "nettle rash," while the iresh juice will take away tho marks of i bruise : and if wo were to uo on and tell how many insects make their meal off the nettle, and livo on it as a home, or ot the beautiful lace that has been mado from its fibers, you would not re gard it as entirely useless but now wo are only speaking of tho medical properties of the plant. ou havo taken a severe cold, and as you go home along the' lane, does it ever occur to you that several remedies aro growing closo beside yout Take the white hoar-hound, which, from its usefulness, has in many small places, found its way from the lane to the herb bed ; or, if you like another remedy, there is tho littlo cup moss, growing so freely all about you j or slill another, tho mallow. All country children havo played with tho seeds of tho mallow, aud called them "cheeses." There aro several kinds, but the marsh mallow is tho ono mostly used. Then there is the pretty plant so valuable for inflammation of the skin, called "Poor Robin," or "Herb-robert," which is nothing moro than the wild geranium. Wo all know it, for it crows every where, under a bush, high up on a wall, in tho lane, or hidden awi.y in tho woods 1 Mho small Mowers are pink, and, tho leaves, which havo a very strong smell, turn red in the autumn, and are of creat benefit in cases of in flammation. In this short aiticle wo havo seen how useful some of out commonest plants are, and that everything has its appointed place in tho 'world. Who can doubt tho existouco of a superin tending aud all designing Creator, who has disposed every part m relation to tho ijreat whole, making oven the littlo leaf of tho most insignificant herb of the held mi essential member of the grand scheme of tho universe I speak ing to all who have ears to hear, tho lessons of love and wisdom 1 These "characters of Nature" which every wliero meet the oye, aro not a common, but a sacred wiiting,,for they aro the very hieroglyphics ot Uod.

Sweet potatoes are excellent also oooked in this way. Ut course oarc must bo taken to removo the pota toes from tho boiling water as soon as they and tender. Th ro is no vegetable that gains moro by being prepared with due attention than tho potato, and tho uiltereiico betweon a soggy, water-soak od potato nnd ono that is properly cooked is greater than many women seem to know.

Wlillc tho business wns going along on tho main lloor we kvpt up the lloors by stout columns, aud for near ly a year dug away tho earth that hun dreds of carts were removing, to make, from curb-lino under the street pavement all around three sides of our house, tho most perfect nnd commodious lower floor that we ever saw.

All this makes up a Department of Public Comfort quito acceptable to those who want the conveniences to rest awhile.
