1 . Carp Baiting.
Jolm Olliver, of Forrest villo, writes
to the Sonoma Democrat as follows: I
feed carp in the evening. Then the
fish are full and rest quietly until
morning. I find that eiunes sometimes
destroy tlie fish. Imagine a crane
standing on the margin of a carp pond
asleep with one eye open and the fish,
when they have not been fed in the ev
ening, must go out foraging on the
banks for food. The crane slyly watch
es his opportunity, and as the carp
comes along down goes the head of the
crane ana up goes the fish fifty cents
worth ol pisciculture is taken in at ev
ery' Bwaliow If you feed in tho eyen-
IKS, "Us- destruction is avoided. Be
sides this, if the fish are fed in the
morning, they are sluggish the rest of
the day, and you scarcely get an oppor
tunity to see them, lhe carp is a veg
etarian, and may lie succesfully raised
anywhere that frogs prosper. They do
not eat flesh of any kind. Their favor
ite food is boiled cabbage, though they
eat lettuce, peas, potatoes and beans.
I prefer bran and shorts. Curds will
fatten them quicker than anything else.
Carp have one peculiar habit
that I have not observed in other fish.
In winter they "hole up: or kettle up.
From one hundred to five hundred
put their heads together and in this
position sway to an fro until they bur
row themselves in the mud. In this
condition they lie all winter, and in
Spring, when they come out near the
spawning season, seem to be very hun
gry, and it is necessary to keep them
quiet that they should be well fed un
til he should 1)0 well fed until the eggs
are all hatched. The impression that
thny spawn two or three times is not
correct, at least I do not think they
do, and I will give my reason for my
opinion at some future time. uarp
ponds do not need to be very deep.
There should be one deep place for
them to "hole up" in during winter. It
is also necessary that tho water should
be backed over the top soil as they like
to feed in the submerged vegetation.

Boston Traveler.
"Make the bed easy, Mr. B" said old
Uncle Abe to the undertaker, who was
preparing the. coflin for his aged - wife,
"Make the bed soft and easy, for her
bor.es are tender and soft, and a hard
bed will hurt them." Ho forgot for a
moment that old, gray haired man
that she was dead; that tho old bones
had done aching forever. Sixty four
years had she walked by his side a true
and loving wife. Sixty four years!
Just think of it in this age of divorce.
Sixty four years had they dwelt under
the samo sorrows of life; together
mourned over tho coffin of their first
born; together rejoiced in the prosperi
ty of their sons and daughters, and
now she has left him alone. No won
der that he forgot Her loving hands
had so long cared for him, for he had
been the feebler of tho two. "Until
death do us part," said the marriage
service that had united them many
years ago., Death had parted them,
but the love still survived. Tenderly
had he cared foa her all these years,
and now tenderly did ho watch tho
making of the last bed of this still lov
ed wife. He had bravely breasted the
storm of life with her by his side, but
now that she was gone he could not
live and in few days they laid him by
her side.
Chapter of Horrori.
By parties just down from Trinity
center we are informed that a few days
since at Minersville, Charles Davis,
while drunk, threw his eleven year old
son out of a window breaking the boy's
neck. Some . weeks ago Davis' wife
died at the same place, with no one at
home but the boy whose death we
chronicle aliove, and his twin brother,
who also died soon after his mother,
from the effect of exposure to cold, his
father having forced him out in tlie
snow. Chas Davis, is well known here
having a cattle range on Clear Creek.
It is said that all the crimen
he committed were perpretrated
when he was intoxicated, but that will
not excuse their enormity drunk or
solier he ought to pull hemp. Tlie
corpse of a neglected wife in a chair
before a fireless hearth, in a snow sur
rounded cabin, with no one at hand
but her two children, suffering with
cold and hunger one of those newly
orphaned boys thrust out in tho freez
ing and perishing from the effects of
the exposure; the remaining brother
tossed from a window and instantly
killed these are the pictures for
Charles Davis to contemplate and re
flect over. Shasta Courier.
