jpcclsl to the Scranton Tribune.
Susquehanna, Aus. 10. In common
with many of his neighbors, Farmer
Conrad, of Glemvood, three years ago
Indulged In the popular fad of estab
lishing a carp pond upon his farm, and
he waited with feverish anxiety for the
glad hour when ho could take a hoe
and go out whenever he was a little
moist and dig up a ton-pound carp.
Farmer Conrad's most sanguine hopes
were more than fully realized, and the
family just revelled in carp. They had
carp for breakfast, dinner and supper,
and cold carp for luncheon. The llsh
were so numerous that the family cat
used to drag big ones from the pond up
through the meadow to the housn.
But the family eventually became
surfeited, and carp gave way to bone
less liver upon the bill of fare. It
dawned upon Farmer Conrad that he
had bought a gold brick. He was get
ting more quantity than quality.
He stopped feeding the fish and
gradually drained the pond. The dis
carded fish took refuge in a swamp be
low the pond, and made nightly incur
sions upon the vicinity fields for food,
after, denuding the swamp of vegetable
matter.
On Saturday night thousands of the
carp loft the swamp, ascended a bluff,
and fell upon an acre natch of early
rose1 potatoes, stripping every vine and
leaving the lot as barren as the Sahara
desert. The famished fish gorged them
selves 'and were unable to return to the
swamp. They fell into a deep and pro
found sleep.
On Sunday morning, while Farmer
Conrad and his hired man were search
ing for a lost cow, they discovered the
wrecked field and the, snoring carp.
Farmer Conrad sat upon a. rail fence,
cried tears and said things. Then the
men grasped clubs and fell upon the
carp, slaying them all. Not a fish in
all the field escaped the terrible massa
cre. Then the tired men resumed cow
hunting. Farmer Conrnd had lost an
acre of potatoes and gained four tons
of excellent fertilizer. There is no great
loss without some little gain.

SNAKE IN THE ORGAN.
At Conklln Forks on Sunday evening
there was an umjsual scene in the little
cross' roads church. As the organist
was playing n prelude she chanced to
look into the little mirror above her,
and she was horrified to see a largo
snake uncoil itself and crawl forth from
the music rack.
The organist promtly fainted and slip
was carried to the parsonage, where she
soon revived. Several of the braver
members of the congregation attacked
the snake and soon killed it.
It was a blacksnake, and measured
elx feet in length. It evidently crawl

was being renovated during the minis

MOSQUITO EXTERMINATION.
Use
for Goldfish by a Man
Who
Made a Water-Garden.
What shall we do with tho water
garden which appears so perfectly suit
ed for raising mosquitoes? Shall we
fill it up, drain it off or pour oil upon
its troubled waters? Ir his pond should
prove as great a source of pleasure to
the reader as mine has been to me, he
will bo loath to adopt any of these radi
cal measures. Repeated and diligent
search had failed to reveal tho presence
of any mosquito larvae in my pond,
and this seemed all the more strange
when, in the quiet waters of tho brook,
not fifty feet away, I discovered thous
ands of active "wrigglers." It seemed
probable that the goldfish were hold
ing the mosquitoes in check in the ar
tificial pond; while in the brook the
insects were breeding in comparative
safety.
To test the correctiveness of this
theory, I took from the pond a small
goldfish and placed it in an aquarium
where it could feed upon mosquito
larvae and under observation. The re
sult was as anticipated. Whenever
they were dropped into the water the
"wrigglers" disappeared in a short
time.
When it is once understood that gold
fish are useful, as well as ornamental
and comparatively hardy, it Is to be
hoped that they will be introduced in
to many small bodies of water, Buch as
lily-ponds and water gardens, where
mosquitoes are likely to breed. In my
experience these fish can oaslly be reur
ed in any sheltered pond where the
water Is shoal and warm,

Mr, Yeisley writes:
"My kidneys and liver were In bad

Its merit. The best proof that It has
