Yours very truly,

How soon your pond will fill up and
how much water it will take to run it
will depend oh the nature of the soil
and the lay of tho land. There will be
or leas evaporation, according as
the pond is sheltered, and if the soil is
loose hr spongy the water will soak
away for a long time. However, yon
have only to keep We gate open and let
the creek work for yon.
Now, as to th# fish for your pond.
In the South the/ prefer the German
carp, as they multiply very fast and are
excellent citing. Ifi the North black
bass, rock bass, pike, pickerel, sunfish
and other vaxietiee. wili do well in an
artificial pond. It fhny cost you a little
money and &>nsider§ble trouble to get
a ptent. but you remember that
fish multiply at an amazing rate. If
within a hundred miles of any port on
the lakes where fishing is pursued as a
business you could arrange to have
several varieties sent to you by express.
You can likewise net many specimens
from the nearest river.
Will yonr pond freeze up in winter
and destroy the fish ? It will certainly
up solid if north of toe Ohio
Biver, and for that reason keep your m
tet pipe down below frost-line/ft pdte
sibie, and wake the depth of the jxmd
as great as you can.
The ice will act freeze over two feet
thick in an average winter, and if tb© ’
water from your pipe bubbles up in the
water the ice at that point will not be
over aix i’ache# thick.
How long before yon can begin to
roup the benefits ? It may take three
years, but by that time the thirty or
forty fish you begun with may number
[ 10,000. Begin at the very outset to
feed them at a regular hour. Select
some place where you can conveniently
use a pet. The feeding will draw the
fish to that paniciuar location, and when
your pond is ready to drew from the
net wffl not be east in vain. Long be
fore your fish are big enough io eat you
will find sale for all the • s-umples" you
care to t'.pare, a» farnrira all over’the
country are waking up to the iiuportr®ce
of this matter of fish-raising.
If at lb© North, and you want the
several varieties of fish I menliared, you
tjinst provide for the habits of each as
yon make your pond. Boek bass are
always found around wrecks, spites and
timbers. Two or three barrels filled
with stance and sunk iu water juat above
thete tops wifi be a good substitute for

When will they come ? is the cry;
For light is the brewing
The baking and stewing,

But worthy of service and hire;

habits as pickerel, but if you add bull
heads to your plant you tnusn’t forget
that they delight in mud.
German carp would do well at the
North, but they are no hardier or better
eating than our pickerel and bass. .
'When your pond is completed and
stocked don’t permit any one to worry
your fish. If they are harrassed and
annoyed, particularly during the spawn
ing season, you will be the loser.
If only fish enough were raised to
supply the farm-house table it would
still be a good thing for a farmer’s son
to go into. It is something which will
give him more than ordinary interest
and recreation, and the hours he spends
at the pond might otherwise be worse
than thrown away in the village. .

Grow fat on the pickings
That drop from this thresher of outs;
And no one decries it,
For every one tries it,
Because of its wonderful powers.
Then moving so readily,
Swiftly ond"steadily,
Never a hitch or a break ;
The way lies before us,
Curtains and Shades.
When a house is without blinds dark
shades seem to be a necessity, but uglier
.hangings could scarcely bfe imagined
than the present highly fashionable and
nltra-scathetic articles.
Where there is an ugly view to be cov
ered the lower part of the window may
be made out of stained glass, and a thin
silk gaiue of bright color should hang
from tM upper sash to meet it.
A window without a curtain is like a
picture without a frapie. With a nea*
carpet, pretty walls and tasteful hang
ings a room has an air of refinement
about it, even though the rest of the
furniture be simple and insufficient.
Wjaite is to be ignored unless for sum
mer ute, and even then dust will discolor
it, even if the makl-of-all work does not
leave her finger-marks on it every time
the panes are wiped off Ecru is a good
shade, as also are pearl, the opal tint!
and the first four shades of brown and
olive. *
With provision made for three curtains
the window is still unfinished without n
patera curtain, which may be made of
brocatelle, tapestry, plush, damask,
satin, satinet, raw silk or Turcoman. Ihe
latter is all ready for hanging,
and is a ra h-looking and wear-forevei
fabric. t
Venetian shades are again revived
and some people toe having them put ii
their houses in place of inside shutters.
They are finished with deep wooden cor
fltices under which they are rolled. Thes*
K wsis cost just about as much as shut
ic’rs, and sre by no means as durable.
The blinds are made to order to match
the finish of the room for which they are
intended.
Transparencies are no longer used for
sash curtains, as they soil readily, anc
few curtains are a success after the sec
ond washing. In |heir place India silk
is used, as web as silk grenadine and
light Madras cloths. The silks are by
far the beat adapted for this purpose, a?
the texture is soft and pliable, and ad
mits of being gracefully draped. The
colors are various shade®, from green or
blush red, India reds, olive green, copper,
gilt and those Mue shades that rre seen
only in the charming Oriental fabrics.

In our jolly chorus,
Whatever the route we may take.
The richer the farmer
Oui* greeting the warmer,
For thrift goes with wealth hand in hand;
Good fellows together,
In foul and fair weather,
We live on the fat of the land.

The greater the pleasure,

The difference between Pittsburg and
Boston girls is that the former have
smuts on their noses and the latter have

A Boston bicycler says that he is

We have seen bicyclers go all over the
earth off their machines.
“What objection is there to young
lodies kissing their poodles ?” asks a fair
inquirer. “None that we know of, dear,
if the poodle can stand it.”
•‘Gone to oven” is the correct expres

peasant at night, since he has no bed
but sleeps on the top of the oven.
An economical householder sympath

things oysters would be if we could only
feed our servants upon th© shells.”
“Poverty is undoubtedly the worst
thing in the world,” says a noted cynic.
It I were offered a cool 810,000,000 in
gold to be poor I’d refuse to accept the
position.”
The morn was cold, the kindling wood
was green, the girl brought forth the
can of kerosene; released from earthly
care and toil, she fools no more with

Little girl (only child)—“l’m so glad,
mamma, I don’t live all the time at
grandma’s.” Mamma—“Why, my
dear ?” “Little girl—“ Well, it must I>e

“Permit me to offer you this fine
tart,” said the youth to the girl for whose
smiles he was sighing. “Thank you,”
she said, accepting it, “but remember,

A San Francisco church advertises
for a minister who can preach two ser

one in the morning for saints, and the
other in the evening for sinners.
“Oa, ma, I have heard such a

fist at the folks, and there wasn’t any
body dared go up and fight him.”— Life.

The following conversation was ever

“Lucy, do you know what a hog is?”
‘ No,’l don’t. What is it?” “WeU,

‘Yer bee.” said a lawyer, in summing

The proprietor of a menagerie relates
that one of his lions onee had a thorn

gratitude, devoured both the Colonel
and Lien tenant-Colonel, whose places
were then filled by the good Major.

out by her husband and accidentilly fell
