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.

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. .

They won’t pretend, to be sympathetic any more than they will powder their faces, or let their dressmaker improve their figures. That's why they are so boring; they are too nm roj» to be sympathetic, amt too con seiemxms to be polite. It is earnestness that dot* it; earnestness is usually u*r-. rowing.

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.

The difference between Pittsburg and Boston girls is that the former have smuts on their noses and the latter have specs. A Boston bicycler says that he is going all over the earth on his machine. 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 sion for the retirement of the Russian - peasant at night, since he has no bed but sleeps on the top of the oven. An economical householder sympath izes with the sentiment: “What capital 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 non-explosive oil. 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 so dull there without ma.” “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, fipe tart never won fair lady.” A San Francisco church advertises for a minister who can preach two ser mons, strictly original, every Sabbath— one in the morning for saints, and the other in the evening for sinners. “Oa, ma, I have heard such a splendid minister.

A teacher in one of the Sunday schools was lecturing a class of little girls on the influence of pious instruc tions in the formation of youthful char acters. “Ah, Miss Caroline,” said he to one of the class, “what do you think vou would have been without your good father and mother;” “I suppose sir,” answered Miss Caroline, “I should have been an orphan.” N s' : A Schenectady paper tells a sad story of how two live© were blasted last sum mer by a flyV misstep.
