AQUARIUM STRUGGLES. tVajra la Which Killiee Fed ta Large riabea Foe a Time grade raretUiL . . When live killies are put in an aquarium tank aa food for larger flsbeeTthey dart off through the wai ter trying to escape. Most of them, however, are ; soon captured and eaten j sometimes all. . But some times a few escape for a time, and these use every means to avoid cap ture. It is a common thing for tha killie to remain at tho surface. There are fishes that do not like to take their food' there, where they must gulp in air with it If the ad. lie can get actually out of reach of the larger fish, it does that out into the shallow water on a shelving stone or under' stones, where the larger fish cannot follow it . In such tanks as those at the New York aquarium the killie may bug the smooth porcelalned side of the tank. It is difficult for the larger fish to take anything from a smooth surface, where it cannot overlap the object and ,n fish is also very shy about bringing its nose into contact with the wall. Apparently tho kil lie knows these things, for it hugs the wall. ' And. if one jying by the wall is taken away from it and put out in the center of the tank it etraichtwar returns to the wall again. . ' . The killie gets into a corner, where it is yet more difficult to reach it, and if there is a jog or recess in the corner it gets into that, whore to reach it is more difficult still. Some times a killie jumps up on the strainer. The opening into the over. flow pipe from the tanks is guarded by a movable globe shaped strainer of galvanized wire, which is in effect alittje round knob projecting from the back of the tank. . Perhaps a third or a half of the strainer is be low the surface of the water. - Sometimes a killie jumps out of water upon the strainer and lies there curved over it, head down on one side and tail on the other,' At its highest part the killie is out of water a distance about equal to its own length. It is like a man jump ing up on a stoop to escape some thing dashing along the street The strainer is the most difficult place to reach and the safest place for the killie when it gets there, but it couldn't stay there always, for sooner or later it would die if it re mained wholly out of water. But wherever the killie may get it is pretty certain finally to be captured and eaten.. The killie that hugs the wall or gets into the corners is pur sued even there. The trout for ex ample, will come up to a killie that it oannot take into its mouth and nose the killie out and the instant the killie takes to tho open water it is lost There it is no match at all JorJhejvjtlyjuperiorJarger fish. Sometimes a blackfish will swoop up and take a killie from the edge of a stone step upon which it is lying In an aquarium pool, in water so shallow that it is stranded. In na ture a killie pursued by some larger fish, a blackfish, for instance, might find shelter under some little arch in a rock, the .opening of which was not big enough for the blackfish to get its head into. Then as likely as not the blackfish would settle down in front of the arch and wave its pectoral fins back and forth, appar ently trying to set up a current to drive the killie out New York Bun.

"Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that bitetb the horse heels, to that bis rider shall fall backward."

Wood of -Genateeoounty, Mioh., writing In The Conn try Gentle, man, says there is more profit In raising turkeys than in almost any other branch 9f poultry keeping. The young are. however, exoeediogly delicate, and ooo ilderable knowledge of their needs aeoessary in order to be suooassf ul in carrying 4hem through the first few weeks of their existence. Once safely past this period they are extumely hardy, disease rarely attacking ibexo titer tbe red spots begin to appear- upon their beads. v- The best way tr manage In order to get tbe most eggs from tbe turkey bens is to gather tbe egg oarefully every day from tbe nests wbeu they begin laying, and this for two reasons the eggs are apt to become chilled by exposure to the old air of early spring nights, and secondly the ben will wmtinue to lay longer than she otherwise would if they are removed. The first dutch of eggs should be given to oomrnon hens, to baton, and the turkey will after a few days begin to lay again. These eggs she should be allowed to sit upon. Four weeks will be required to baton oat tbe little poolta, and as fast as tbey break tbe shells tbey should be removec (after tbey get dry) from the nest to a basket by the kitchen fire during the day, returning them to the nest at night. When all aw out; remove the ben and dust ber feathers thoroughly with pyretbrum, holding her by the feet, head down, during tbe prooeas, to Insure the powder's reaching tbe body, This dusting should have been done once or twice daring the period of In cubation to make sure the ben la not troubled with lies.', ' Tbe little tnrkeys should also be at tended to, for sboold there be any largo lice upon tbe ben tbey attack tbe young at soon as hatched, fastening themselves upon tbe bead and neck, whence tbey are dislodged with considerable diffl- onlty.

Bob tbe lard thoroughly over the heads and necks, then put them with the mother hen. Frequent examinations should be made to make sure there are no insects upon them. . Nothing so quickly saps tbe life of a young turkey as lice, and no young of tbe poultry kind with wbloh I am familiar is so susceptible to their attack Mine tunes out of ten if a little turkey is drooping, wings hanging down and eyes olotad. the trouble is oansed by tbe presenos el these mites and only prompt treatment will save it Tbe quill feathers of tha wings at tbe point where they enMVge from the flesh will be found to be fairly swarming with them.

Mo- Laws as a soldier fought Indians in the west in many campaigns. Be was on the frontier under Taylor during the Mexican warWhen the civil war broke out be cast his lot with the Confederate cause, and finally attained command of a divi sion under , General jjongstreet During the four years of strife Grant never forgot bia friend. Like wise McLaws cherished tbe friend ship for the federal general When General Grant was elected president the friends of McLaws urged him to apply for the Savan nah postoffice. The Confederate general hesitated for a time, feeling that by doing so he would incur tbe censure of southerners. Like Grant however, be waa broad minded and bad accepted the result of tbe war like a soldier and a true type of an American citizen. He thereupon decided to make tbe application for the office and took the tram north to see Grant In person. ' The presi dent bad left Washington for Long Branch. Going there, McLaws sought him at bis cottage. He bad some misgivings as to how tbe presi dent would receive bim. They bad not met in years. McLaws won. dered if tbe acoeeedon to the high office of the nation bad "swelled" Grant's bead. Approaching the cot tage, the Confederate general found the president sitting on tbe veranda, with bla feet upon the balustrade, smoking one of those cigars which finally helped to end bis life. Like all other presidents. Grant bad left Washington to avoid the office seek ing pest and be did not want to be disturbed In bis retreat , Hello, Mac I Where did .you come from!" waa tbe greeting that the president gsve the Georgian aa be drew near enough for recognl tion. . "I am truly glad to see you. I oame over here to escape tbe office seekers. Pull up a chair and tell me bow yoa have been getting along and all about yourself since we last met" Grant continued, with that warm, pleasant and affable air char acteristic of him. Tbe greeting waa so cordial, de spite tbe remark about the office seekers, that General McLaws final ly found it an easy thing to bring up the Savannah postoffice matter and announced bis candidacy for the appointment' General Grant assured bim that be sboold have it and that it would give bim a great pleasure to make tbe appointment Then tbey talked about their life at West Point and reviewed their ex periences covering the years up to that time. In some respecta tbey were alike. Neither bad tbe faculty for accumu lating and saving money. General McUwawnfeesed that be did not have it and addressed the question seriously to the president i Can you tell me, general, bow to make and save money t" My doar Mao, I have not tbe aligbtest idea in tbe world," replied Grant It was true, for Grant never could save money. He bad no buatneas instinct Before tbe war be bad as bard a struggle as any man In the country, and even after be left tbe presidency he waa an easy vkram for schemers, who need him in swindling schemes which be thought honest until their dishonesty was exposed. When General McLaws returned to Savannah, be received the ap pointment aa postmaster, and the friendship between tbe two lasted nntil death. Chicago Timea-Her. aM.
