(From the Gate City, Keokuk, loiea.)
Mrs. Helen Meyers, whoso home la nt 3515
Vernon avenue, Chicago, and whose visit to
Keokuk, la., will long be remembered, was
at one time afflicted with a nervous malady
which at times drove her nearly to distrac
tion. "Thoao terrtblo headaches are a thing
of the past/' she said the other day to a
Gate City representative, "and there is quite
a story in connection with it too.
"My nervous system sustained a great shock
some fifteen yers ago, brought on, I believe,
through too much worrying over family
matters, and thea allowing my love for my
books to get the better of my discretion
where my health was concerned. Why,
whenever my affairs nt homo did not go
along just as I expected, I would Invariably
become prostrated from the excitement and
I would consider myself fortunate indeed If
the efTects of the attack would not remain
for a week. I was obliged to give up our
pleasant home not far from the Lake shore
drive, because I could not stand the noiso in
that locality. I could And no place in tho
city which I doomed suitable to ono whose
nervous system was always on the point of
explosion. To add to my misfortunes my
complexion underwent a change and I
looked so yellow and sallow that I was
ashamed to venture from the house at all.
•' 'Madam,' said my dootor to me soon alter
an unusually severe attaca of tho malady,
"unless you leave the city and seek some
flaco of quiet, you will never recover.' Ho
concluded I would visit my uncle, who
lives In Dallas County, lowu, and whoso
farm would surely be a good place for ono
iu ray pitiable condition. I picked np tho
Gate. City ono day and happened to come
aoross an interesting recital of the recovery
of woman in New York State who was
afflicted as 1 had been. This woman had
been curod by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People. I thought that if Pink Pills cured
that woman they might do the tame for me.
I began to take tho pills according to direc
tions und I began to feel better from the
start. Alter I had taken several boxes of
them I was ready to go back to Chicago. My
nervousness was gone and my complexion
was as fresh as that of any sixteen-year-old
girl lo lowa, ami Pink Piiis is what put the
color in rpy checks. No wonder I am in such
high spirits and feel like u prize lighter. And
no wonder I like to come to Keokuk for if it
bud not been for Pink Pills bought from a
Keokuk firm I would not have beeu alive
now," laughingly concluded the lady.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contnln ull tho
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by alt druggists,

Paris Ever Famous,
Paris was a famous and cultivated
city ages before Venice. If we search
for them, we may find in it historical
associations that may vie with those of
any city in the world, except Pome and
Constantinople; and even its antiqua
rian and artistic remains are seldom
equaled or surpassed. At Rome, Flor
ence, or Venice, the tourist talks of old
churches, palaces, and remains; at
Paris he gives himself up to the boule
vards, the theaters, shops, and races.

profuse antiquarian remains of tho

PROFIT IN FISH FARMING.
TROUT THE PRODUCT RAISED FOR
THE MARKET.
Arrangement of the Three Ponds
Required—Utilizing Undesirable
Land—Best Food for the Fish.
A MONG tho new industries of
/\ this generation, says tho New
M York Sun, one is raising food
(,T fish. It was only very re
cently that the first experiments in the
business were made, but so sigual was
the success of the pioneers that there
nre to-day a score of fish farms in
New England alone. On account of
the scarcity of wild trout and the
great demand for them, the spotted
brook trout aro tho favorite species
for farming purposes.
One of the first advantages of this
form of farming over all others, save
perhaps cranberry raising, is that
land undesirable for other purposes
cau be utilized. First of all the fish
farmer must have water, aud nothing
but good water at that. A mere pond
fed by surface drainage will not an
swer. There must be running water ;
it need not be a large stream, but it
must be spring-fed and never-failing.
Tho latter requirement is not always
easy to satisfy, for a surprising num
ber of good-sized brooks and rivers
go dry during tho hot mouths. Hav
ing secured the proper water supply,
tho next thing to he considered is the
lay of the laud. If there is a fair,
nutural fall, say of one foot or more
to every hundred feet, it materially
reduces tho cost of constructing the
ponds. If the fall be four or five
feet instead of one, it is very desir
able, since that permits tho erection
of u small waterfall at tho foot of each
pond, the tumbling descent of the
stream aerating and refreshing the
water. The area required is from five
to ten acres, depending on tho size of
the ponds, which must bo at least
three in number. If the fish cultur
ist proposes to do his own hatching
from eggs he will require a very elab
orate plant, but most of the men in
the business say it is cheaper to buy
the fry at the State or other hatch
eries.
Pond No. 1, which will bo tho high
est, is the abiding place of the tiny
newcomers, the newly hatched fry, not
moro than un inch long and very
tender. Tho banked-up edge of tho
pond must bo planted with willows or
alders, tho thick roots of which will
knit the soil and gravel into a firm
retaining wall. If bovs or poachers
are a possible danger a thorn hedge
makes a good barrier, but it is not so
hardy as tho others. A few protect
ing rocks and loose boughs thrown
iuto the poud serve as shelters from
chance enemies, such as the king
fishers, bittern, herons, ducks, minks,
and musk rats. Aquatic weeds are
healthful and advantageous, both as
affording shadows lrom the hot sum
mer sun and as clinging places for the
countless microscopic forms of life
that feed the finny babies. Water
lilies are bad, not because they have
not tho good qualities of the grasses,
but became they will grow so rank
aud so thick as to fill up tho entire
pond and become a menace to tho
cleanliness of the water. The pretty
sagittaria planted ou the margin makes
u beautiful and safe playground for
tho youngsters in the shallows, since
birds cannot feed among its stiff stalks.
At the head of each pond should
always be left, if possible a stretch of
running brook, for in swift water the
trout is at his best, and his flesh will
bo firmer and sweeter for active feed
ing. In tho early morning aud at
night the fish will run up into tho
ripples to feed aud play. Alders and
osiers should be set along this quick
water and trained to overhang, so that
the bugs aud grubs which iu warm
weather haunt the branches may serve
as food for the fish. If the soil is such
that fernH can bo raised along tho
bank, they should bo planted, for they
abound in anil attract insect life of
many sorts.
Tho dam between ponds Nos. 1 and
2 must be guarded by a strong iron
netting of very small mesh. At one
side, if the fall is moro than a foot, a
wooden fishwav should bo built, so
that tho rush of water when the lish
are lowered from No. 1 to No. 2 will
not injure the young trout. In the
lower ponds this precaution is un
necessary, for no cataract could kill a
well-grown trout iu good health. Be
low the dam comes a stretch of say 200
feet of running stream. If cramped
for room tho courso of this need not
be straight, but may bo doubled, so
that pond No. 2 is separated by only a
few yards from the upper one. Of
course, tho yearlings freed from the
upper nursery pond will now need
moro room anil freedom, so that this
lower pond should be much moro ex
tensive. It must bo deeper, too;
and, in order to provide depths and
still make it easy to empty tho two
year-olds into the last pond, a narrow
channel is dug through tho centre.
When tho water is drawn off, the fish
aro driven into this canal and easily
forced down into tho big pool be
low.
It is in tho construction of tho low
est or receiving pond, No. 3, that tho
greatest care and foresight arc re
quired. One lately built iu Massa
chusetts seems to be a model of in
genuity. The running water boils
over u big fallen hemlock into tho
head of tho pond npou a clean gravel
bar, and tho wholo bottom of the place
is sandy and free from largo stones or
other obstructions. All around the
edge are piled huge slabs of rock, logs
and other means of shelter for a width
of twenty or thirty feet. This strip
offers a series of feeding anil lurking
places for the big fellows. When the
water is lowered four feet these rocks
andsiiukeu trees aro high and dry and
the lish aro left on tho clear bottom,
where a seine can readily be drawn to
a gravel beach near tho outlet nt the
lower end. By this arrangement the
fish required for market can be secured
without difficulty, and yet a comfort
able homo in tho mean timo is pro
vided.
Tho proper foeding of trout is n
great problem. Of course, there are
various preparod fish foods which an
swer very well for tho young fry, und
chopped liver or dried grubs do very
well for tho larger fish. But a de
cidedly beefy flavor cliugs to these
preserve-raised, liver-fed fish, al
though they bring fully double tho
price of the wild brook trout. After
long effort and patient study there has
been devised a method which at onco
avoids this objectionable taste and
makes the preserve self-supporting,
doing away with the necessity of feed
ing by band. This is the planting or
stocking of tho preserve with fresh
water shrimp. These little crusta
ceans grow quickly, multiply with in
credible rapidity, and once well started
cannot be entirely killed off by tho
most voracious trout. As a food they
aro unsurpassed, tho fish raisod ou
them outstripping in plumpness and
size all others of tho same age. It has
been observed by a student of trout
life that a two-year-old fish fed ou
shrimps will weigh from three-quarters
of a pound to a pound and a quarter,
while others of the same age taken
from a liver fed preserve will bo soit
fleshed, and weigh from a quarter to
half a pound. This statemeut is borne
out by the fact'that brook trout killed
in salt or brackish water, just coming
in from the sea, generally have iu their
stomachs shrimp, small hermit crabs,
and fiddlers, showing crustaceans to
be a favorite food. Fresh-water
shrimp aro sold at tho hatcheries for
$2 a thousand, and $lO worth, care
fully planted, will stock a pond ior
years. At tho New York State hatch
ery at Caledonia, the shrimps are given
away for tho purpose of stocking pub
lic streams aud lakes, and will doubt
less be sold to any applicant at a
merely nominal price.
In the trout season the product of
fish farms sell in tho market at $1 a
pound, and out of season a much
higher prico is realized where the sale
is permitted by law. A much-disputed
point has been whether a fish farmer
had not a legal right to sell tho pro
ducts of his own preserves at any sea
son, irrespective of tho State laws. A
Massachusetts man tested this ques
tion by ottering for sale, iu open vio
lation of the law, trout from his pri
vate pond. Tho case was carried to
tho highest tribunal, which handed
down uu opinion denying tho troiu
farmer's right to sell fish out of sea
son.—New York Sun.
Red, White, Urceu Sea?.
The colors of pure ocean water and
tho varying shades observed where
impurities are met with are htill
further diversified by the coloring
effects of tho enormous multitudes of
various forms of organized life whicii
sometimes mask the natural color of
tho surface of the sea and tiugo ex
tensive areas with remarkable colors.
Red appears to be the most frequently
met with. Iu tho southern parts of
the Red Sea and in tho Arabiau Gulf
large areas are colored bloo 1-red by
microscopic animalcula, and in tho
Indian Ocean similar forms of life
cause, in addition to red, milk-white
or yellow spots of great extent, tho
appearance of which is frequently
alarming to tho ignorant sailor.
Off the Guinea coast ships some
times appear to float in milk. Exten
sive red streak* aro also known to
occur in the South Atlantic and South
Pacific, which are caused by hosts of
small red Crustacea. Tho "Vermilion
Sea" of California owes its brilliaut
color to infusoria. Areas colored
greon have been noted, especially in
tho Arotio regions, which aro due to
myriads of diatoms, and iu some por
tions of the Antarctic Seas diatoms o:

A Remarkable Electric Light.
It is said that a German electrician
has invented a wonderful electric
light, which operates in the line of
Nikola Tesla's high potential and high
frequency experiments, but far sur
passes anything yet produced by the
"wizard." The practical utility of
Tesla's work has often beeu doubted,
on account of Ihe cost of the produc
tion of the current necessary, but tho
German inventor, Professor Ebert,
has made a luminescent lamp, using a
sort of luminous paint, which gives a
serviceable light with oue-miliiouth
part of one "watt" of electricity.
Professor Ebert says that his light
costs but 1-2000 as much as au ordin
ary lamp. These high frequency cur
routs are not dangerous, aud give but
the smallest quautity of heat, so th i
new light will probably become popu
lar.—-New Orleans Picayune.
Electrical Possibilities-,
At the present rate of progress, by
tho end of the century we will use
electricity to tho exclusion of most
other motive powers. We are already
applying it to transportation, lighting,
cooking, running elevators, ventila
tors aud many sorts of machinery,
and in somo of the largest hotels this
universal agent polishes tho silver in
tho kitchen, washes and irons tho
clothes in tho laundry and automa
tically does much of tho work of bell
boys and messengers.—New York

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
TO DESTROY ANTS.
They may be kept from climbing by
tying wool round the stems and stakes
and putting pine tar on tliom. Trace
to their haunts and pour boiling water
on them. To drive from their haunts,
dig the dirt and mix with gas lime.
To kill them, pour over their nests at
night a strong decoction of older
leaves or turn a flower-pot over with
the hole stopped ; the ants will build
up into it and thousands may bo de
stroyed.
ON CAKE BAKING.
For baking most kinds of cake tho
oven should bo rather slow. If it bo
too hot whon sponge cake is baking
the cake will sometimes riso very high
and fall again. In any case, it will bo
coarso grained and tough. A good
tost for sponge cake is to put a piece
of white paper iuto tho oven, closo tho
door and open it in iivo minutes. If
the paper bo a rich yellow the oven is
right, but if it be light yellow tho
oven is too cool, or if a dark brown it
is too hot.
THE KITCHEN TOWELS.
Housewives are sometimes debarred
from tho use of crash for kitchen
towels by its cost, as well as by tho
fact that it needs to be partly worn
before it makes really good towels.
Now that fashion sanctions tho use of
this very serviceable material for toilet
articles as well as aprons, it may be
economically used in that way lirst,
and then descend to tho more utili
tarian household uses. For instance,
your delicately chcckod linen crush
apron, when worn soft, will make the
best possible glass or dish towel, and
your toilet cover and pin-cushion
cover even, after having served their
apprenticeship in your room, may bo
turned into roller towels and dish
cloths. Crash is very easily hem
stitched, aud with this ornamentation
aud tho stato of immaculate cleanli
ness in which it is so easily kept, it
makes tho most dosirablo of bureau
und table covers.
now TO BOIL A PUDDING.
Tho most difficult way of cooking a
plum pudding is boiling it in a cloth;
a novico will bo iikoly to spoil it un
less tho following directions are ob
served in every particular : To boil a
plum pudding successfully havo a
largo pot half full of actually boiling
water, with a plato in tho bottom to
keep the cloth front burning or stick
ing to tho pot, aud a toakettloful of
boiling water to fill up tho pot as the
water boils away; there must always
be enough water to float the pudding,
and it must boil without ceasing,
"jumping" in the pot.
The cloth must bo of linon towel
ing, about a yard square, scalded by
dipping in boiling water and then
thickly dusted with sifted flour ; and
after the pudding has boiled steadily
for at least six hours it should bo un
rolled, laid upon a suitable dish au l
set in tho oven to dry ofT while the
sauce is boing made. Allowance must
be made for the swelling of an ordin
arily rich pudding, tho cloth boing
mado about throe-quarters full.

on her army are $255,000,(XX), while
Russia's, with an army seven times as
large, are only $180,000,000, and Ger
many's $113,000,000. Iu proportion to
size, England's army is perhaps the
most costly. Her 662.000 men require
$89,(XX),000 annually for their support,
or only $38,000,000 less than the
amount which provides Franco with an
enormous host of more than four times

Tno case Altered.
The sort of sentiment which the
French system of marlages de eonve
nance, or In plain English, of marriage
for money, produces is well illustrated
by a story which a French paper tells.
Marie, a young lady, announces to
her parents that she has accepted the
hand of Monsieur X.
"Child, you are crazy!" exclaims Ma
rie's 'mother.
"But why, mamma?"
"Young X will have no money for
many years, because it all belongs to
his grandfather, and after that comes
his father, and you will be old before
you get at the property."
"But, mamma—"
"No buts about it—you are a bad and
undutiful child!"
"But, mamma, it is the grandfather
whom I've accepted!"
"The grandfather! Oh, you little
amrel!"
Chemistry of" 111-Temper.
Prof. Gates, of Washington, has en
tered upon an almost unknown domain
of psychical science. He claims to
have made the discovery that the emo
tions produce a physical reaction which
discloses itself to chemical tests, and
that the benevolent sensibilities, such
as kindness, cheerfulness, etc., exert a
good effect on the bodily health, while
the malevolent feelings exert a corres
pondingly bad effect

Do Not Sleep on the Left Side.
There is little doubt that an linmensi
number of persons habitually sleep on
the left side, and those who do so can
never, it is said, be strictly healthy. II
is the most prolific cause of nightmare,
and also of the unpleasant tuste In th
mouth on arising in the morning. All
food enters and leaves the stomach on
the right side, and hence sleeping on the
left side soon after eating involves a
sort of pumping operation, which is
anything but conducive of sound re
pose. The action of the heart is also
Boriously interfered with and the lungs
unduly compressed. Hence it is best to
cultivate the habit of always sleeping
on the right side, although Sandow and
other stroug men are said to invaria
bly sleep on their backs.
IlieUreatest Hedical Discovery
of the Age.
KENNEDY'S
Medical Discovery.
DONALD KENNEDY, of ROXBURY, MASS.
Oot this Letter day before yesterday.
Penn Yan, N. P., Nov. 28,1804.
Your Discovery has done so much for
me I am only too ylad to tell everybody
about my case.
When I began taking it, one year ago
last July, 1 had DYSPEPSIA in its
worst form. 1 was constipated, so muck
so as to always use injections, and I had
a constant I'AIN in my STOMACH
and LEFT SIDE. My knees were, stiff,
and I rouUl not sit down on a stool or
get down to fix anything on the floor.
Dut now 1 can sit, or get down on my
knees, or do anything in my garden. I
feel like a new person. You must knoio
J tcas discouraged, as 1 have lost two
sisters and an older brother with
S TOM A CIl Til 0 UJIL E. Hut 1 truly
believe, if they had known of your
remedies they would be well, as 1 am.
You can fix up my letter to suit yourselfi
only do publish it, that women may
know what the Discovery has done for
me. Yours truly,
Mrs. MARY C. AY RES.
