A MODEL riSH I OM).
A rv porter chancel to be can t ring
al- i.g one of thu characteristic ro: ah
roues in Wei-tern Vitsririin, r.tui Ciaik's
(Jap one day last aurutritr, when the
dull'ronr of falling water attracted his
attention. Glancing ahead, he perceiv
ed an unusual sight for that secti ou of
the country a beautiful ponu tf huge
extent, ornamented with an open house
of artistic design in the centre of the
wiitcif, which was connected with the
the t-hore by a fanciful bridge. A wide,
clean walk, bordered the miniature lake,
w Inch mirrored the dense verdure or tun i
maples :ind other trees that pr.rtially j
sheltered the glare of the snn ; rind an
old-fashioned stoiie-wall, of that Kind so
. common in this region, of flint and iron
stone, lent a further charm by scenting I
the otherwise modern surroundings with j
an agreeable cder of antiquity. i
With journalistic assurance, which I
nothing daunts, the reporter dismounted j
and ?ought out the proprietor, which j
pruved to be Mr. Thomas l'axson. one
of the enterprising gentlemen of Lou- j
don couutv, Va. Having stated his j
business, Mr. l'axson courteously pro- ;
ceeded to show the points of interest i
about the place. lie was a true type of !
a Virginian, with a disinterested kind- i
ne?s beaming in his countenance md a ;
deterriiination to make a man f( el at'
eae, which he displayed with extreme- !
ly courteousaitention. Around him al- j
wavs hovered an auiuaingiSatallite, that j
turned the dark side of his face toward ;
lid planet for the reason that it had no j
othr sule to turn. It was, in brief, a '
sal le youth of nine or ten summers-, ;
who, forgetful of father and mother, ;
chose to share the daily vicissitudes and
labor of an adopted master. j
Vie were soon standing within the i
open structure in the pond. !
"Uir.cr 'em up," paid Mr. l'axson to 1
his "satellite," at which he bepan tojin-
pie a little be!l vigorously, lu a mom- j
eut a commotion in tho water was not ic- ,
ed over the entire pond, and waves like ,
the wakes of a little boat could be sen J
lu every direction leading toward the i
little house, and before long tho water
around us seemed to boil with the schools .
of tisli that gathered at the call. He '.
then fed them corn bread broken into
email fragments, and green corn cut otT
the cob. Tie hsh scrambled after it i
lik: so many street g.immins after a
lei:ny, and some, more venturesome j
thau the rest. large fellows, that must i
bring down the scales at live or six lbs. ;
would leap far out of the water to catch
a piece they saw corning.
There is a platform two feet ln-ncath ;
the surface of the water, extending sev
eral fet beyoud the lnv.ise all arouud it,
tocntch the food. Otherwise much of
it will be lost, and, lnying in the water,
would, in a short time, render the water
foul and unhealthy.
The pond is complete ih every t.articu- '
lar. It occupies three fouths ef an acre
with an average depth of e'ght feet.
The banks are lined inside v, , ;i a plank
wall that reaches several feet below the
bottom of the pond, effectually preclud
ing all escape of the water by nmskrat
boring, or the washing of t e waves, i
Another advantage it posses s, secur- ;
ing it against inundation in the event of '
a freshet, is that the surface of the wa- ;
ter in the pond is six feet above the mea- ;
dow in which it stands. The advantage i
of this over the common method of buil-
ding ponds, as low or lower than the
surrounding land, can be readily setn i
and is by no means a minor considers- ;
tion. The pond is fed by a stream of
sufficient water from it conducted in a
blind ditch. Thus only so much water ;
ascan enter a six inch pipu is admitted ;
to tho pond, which prevents it being '
flooded or washed out even in the high- ,
est water, ami the immunity of dirt and i
the admission of small creek fish, which '
would in many ways injure and destroy
the cultivated fish, is accomplished by ;
interposing a fine screen between the fish
and the mouth of the pipe. j
No fish but the European carp is cul- i
tivatel in the pond. A better food fish I
does not, perhaps, exist than this. It !
has always been held in the highest esti- I
mation lor the table in Europe. I lie
price pai 1 for it by the Parisians seems
almost incredible. Fifty cents a pound
is the sum it commands in the Paris
mnrktts. The aveiage weight of the ,
fish sold is about four and a half pounds ,
which brings the average price up to two
dollars and more apiece.
Americans, however, will pay no such
price as that, and fifteen cents a pound
is all they cemniand in our large cities. ,
Prof. Stephen liaiid, of the ismithson- j
ian Institution first directed public at- j
tuition to these fish about twenty years j
ago, and established ponds for the cul- ,
ture in Washington, Dr. Ilassell, a ;
German, was brought here to superin-
tend the work, and the government i
ponds arestill in his charge. Any ier- j
eon having a suitable place for them can t
obtain a number (five pairs) to stock a '
pond, upon application, accompanied by
a full description of the facilities for j
propagating them. j
Mr. l'axson first obtained one hundred j
aud fort from Dr. Hassall, about three j
months after hatching. His fish spawn- ,
ed when two years old, although the1,
authorities claim they must be three j
years old before spawning. One fish, it
is said, will spawn 400,000 eggs ; of j
course all of these will not hatch : but I
it is safe to count one fish out of one j
hundred etigs. In three years they are !
ready for market. Those in this pond, j
three years old, measure eighteen inches
and weigh three and a half pounds. !
The three varieties "scale" "leath- I
er" and "marrow" are raised here to- :
gether. The difference between them j
amounts to little more than the differ- i
ence in the arrangement of the scales of j
the body. The meat of all is the same, j
similar in appearance to the shad, but of i
a more delicate flavor. I
Mr. l'axson also has another pond, !
long and narrow, to prevent much agi- i
tation of the water by the wiud, where j
the fish spawn on swamp grass, planted
there for that purpose. uch a growing
pond is a necessity if the grower hoies
eggs'to hatch or to rear the fry in their
first few weeks of helplessness.
In the winter the fish all collect in
the ditches or "kettle" in the bottom of
the pond, where they liberate.
This id one of the few model ponds in
the country. Nothing is neglected for
the comfort and safety of the fish, and !
a more profitable investment of a com- j
paratively small amount of money can j
scarcely bejmade. One acre is sufficient
land, and ?2.0X) sufficient capital and in '
three years the returns begin to pay an ,
enormous per cert, on the investment.
In five years Mr. Faxson will ship !
lJ,000per annum, or say 50,000 pounds :
of meat dressed. This may seem like a
fish story, but even very low figuring '
proves it.
The government has frequently urged
upon farmers throughout the country .
to build fish ponds and stock fhem with ;
fine varieties of fish, which the authori
ties at Washington will cheerfully fur-
iiish free of charge. Syracuse Journal. '.
0'K of the most convenient articles to !
be used in a sick room is a sand bag. j
Get some clean, fine sand, dry it thor
oughly in a kettle on the stove, make a J
bag about eight inches square of llannel :
fill it with dry sand, sew the cover care- ;
fully, and cover the b;ig with catton or '
linen cloth. This will prevent the sand !
from sifting out, and will also enable j
you to heat the bag quickly by placing j
it in the oven or even on the top of the j
stove. Arter once using this you will
never again attempt to warm the feet
or hands of a sick person with a bottle
of hot water or a brick. The sand holds
the heat for a lon time, and the bag can
be tucked up the back without hurting
the invalid. It is a good plan to make
to or three of these bas aHd keep them
ready for ue.
AT
WANAMAKER'S
Visitors to Philadelphia are
invited to visit the store,
whether to see or to buy.
Your parcels are checked ; a
waiting-room is provided,
where you may rest with
ladies and children; guides
conduct you through the
house, or you wander at will;
there are many things oi
interest to see, and a wel
come, For two years, perhaps, we
have had the richest, largest,
most varied and most exhaus
tive collection of dress-goods
in Philadelphia. Before that,
we may have had the largest,
and even the most exhaus
tive, but perhaps not the
richest. The slowest trade
to come to a new merchant
is the trade of luxury. It is
the slowest to change from
one to another. But it does
change.
We may say our dress
goods of all sorts are at
about their highest now.
Eecond and third circiei, southeast
fruni center.
Silks of all sorts have
come; and never were silks
more acceptable. And these
words have a meaning here
beyond any they could have
elsewhere; because of the
greater variety of wants that
look to us for supply. We
must have all accepted styles,
and all the approved quali
ties of those styles; and, as
to colors, can you think of
one that we can do without?
A store that has only one
class of trade can get along
with comparatively few silks.
Which j?tock would you
rather buy out of?
Next outer circle, eor.th entrance
to muln bu:!Uli g.
Two damask towels at 15
and 18 cents may serve to
show what we gain by buy
ing of the makers. The very
same towels are in the whole
sale trade in New York at
about 21 and 22 cents, which
means at least 25 cents at
retail.
We are not going to say
that all our retail prices are
below New York wholesale;
nothing of the sort. " More
than one swallow to make a
summer." But where such
towels are to be got for 15
tents is a good place to look
for bed and table-linen, and
all the other linens. That's
what we mean exactly; it's
true, too.
Ouler circle. City-hall tquare entrance.
A very wide and surpris
ingly good navy-blue twilled
flannel for 50 cents; 45-inch.
Do you remember a 35
cent flannel for 25 cents, of
which we had 18,000 yards
last fall? Afterward we got
7,000 yards more of it; and
a little of it is left yet. That
is 23-inch. This wide flan
nel is fully as good as that.
TLlri circle, southeast from center.
All the warmer sorts of
underwear are ready; for
men, women and children;
thick-cotton, merino, wool,
and silk. All the sorts need
ed for all sorts of people
with all sorts of notions;
and, for people who want it,
there is quite a little wit
about underwear to be pick
ed up at the counter. Where
else would you look for it ?
Not in books surely; for
goods are changing all the
time; and so get ahead of
books.

The cactus maguar is a Florida plant,

One of the curious consequences of

The Sutro tunnel, nosv completed, dis
charges 30,000,000 gallons hot water
daily from Comstock mines. This wa

and is conveyed through a closed pine
flume to prevent the escape of vapor.
After a passage of four miles through
the first tunnel it loses seventy degrees
of heat. A second tunnel, 1,100 feet
long, and an open water way a mile and
a half long, conduct the water to Carnon
river. Along its course are hot-water
baths and laundries, and a plan is on
foot to conduct the hot water through
pipes under ground, to be made avail
able for purposes of irrigation and for
supplying artificial heat to hothouses.
ToImoco in lussia is' looked upon
as a deadly foe. The Raskolniks call it
the devil's herb, and in little Russia the
following legend is current as to its or
igin : Certain little Russian carriers
were in danger of being led astray by a
heathen woman, and a voice from heav
en commanded that she be put to death.
The carriers obeyed and buried her
alive. Her husband planted a tiee over
her remains ; it grew and grew and be
came a large lea veil plant, As the
Christian curriers and the heathen wid
ower passed that way they saw that he
broke off some of the leaves, rilled a pipe
with them, and smoked it. They fol
lowed his example, and smoked what
since been knewn as tobacco. So de
lighted were they that they went on
smoking without caasing; until at last
the smoke gave way one day to fire and
burned them all up.

SH0E8 15 OLD EX TIMKS-
Rmie drawings are seen on the wall
of Tlx-b-s (15. C. 1406) of shoemakers
performing their tasks, showing their
trade to be ancient as well as eminently
resj.-etulile ; and we read in Homer of
Princes manufacturing their own shoes.
Theyihave leen made of various mater
ials hides, flax, silk, cloth, wood, iron,
silver and gold, and in a preat variety
of shapes, plain and ornamental, and
among the Jews they were made of lea
ther, linen and wood. Soldiers wore
tliein of brass and iron, tied with thongs
To put off the shoes was an act of ven
eration. The Asiatics and Egyptians
woie shoes made of the batk of the pa
pyrus. Among the Greeks the shoes
generally leached to the mid-leg, or like
what we now call boots.
Ladies, as a mark of distinction, wotc
sandals a sort of looseshow, something
like a modern slipper, Xenopbon re
lates that the ten thousand Greeks who
followed young Cyrus, wanting shoes in
their retreat, covered their feet with
raw hides, which occasioned them great
injury. The Roman shoes were of two
kinds the calceus, which covered the
whole foot, and the solea, which cover
ed oniy the sole, was fastened with
thongs. Ladies of rank wore white and
sometimes red shoes; other woman wore
black. The shoes of some of the lioman
Emperors were enriched with precious
stones. It is generally regarded as a
mark of effeminacy for men to wear
shoes. Cato and other noble Romans
had no coveridg for their feet w hen they
appeared in public. In the ninth and
tenth centuries the greatest princes of
Euroie wore woodeu shoes, or wooden
soles fastened with leather thongs. In
the eleventh century the upper part of
the shoe was made of leather and the
sole of wood. The Saxons wore shoes,
or scoh, with thongs .
In the year 1090, in the reiirn of Wil
liam Rufus, the great dandy Robert was
called "horned" because he wore shoes,
with long points, stuffed, turned up and
twisted like horns. Shoes of this kind
became fashionable, and the toes contin
ued to increase in length until, in the
time of Richard II, in 1300, they had at
tained such an enormous extent as to be
fastened to the garter by a chain of sil
ver and gold, The clergy declaimed ve
hemently against such extravaejauce ;
but the ftshion continued, even for sev
eral centuries. In 1493 the Parliament
of England passed an act prohibiting
shoes with pikes more than two inches
long, under penalty to maker and wear
er, and those who would not comply
were declared excommunicated. Even
at a late period shoes were twice the
leugth of the foot or so long as to pre
vent "kneeMng in devotion at God's
house."
In the year 1555 a company of cord
wainers was incorporated in old Boston,
England. By their charter it was or
dered '-that no person shall set up as
cordwainers within the said borough,
until such time as they can sufficiently
cut and make a boot or shoe, to be ad
judged by the wardens. That
if any foreigner, or person who did not
serve his apprenticeship in the said bor
ough shall be admitted to his freedom,
he shall then pay to the wardens 3 2s.
8d. And that no fellow of
this corporation, his journeyman or his
servant, shall work on the Sabbath day,
either in town or country." Shoes in
their presenk form came into use in the
year 1033, a short time after the first
settlement of this country. lotca State
Iitqister.
Ax Iowa correspondent of the Ger-
mantown Telegraph writes to say that
he makes his granary distastetul to rats
by "daubing all the angles 011 the out
side of the building with hot pine tar
for the width of three or four inches,
and also any seam or craek where a rat
or mouse can stand to gnaw."
