How to Make a Hrfali-Wuk'r Aqua
rium. Tho froali-wateraqtisrlum ordrnwing
room Unit pond in a pleasing and inter
esting ornament for a city or suburban
town. It in cheaply And easily mado,
and requires hut littlo care. Compar
atively fow persons can adorn their
homes with costly picture; and statues,
but almost any ono with a Iovo of na
ture ami art can havo sn aquarium, ful
filling in rniniaturo rcalitbs tho glow
ing nnd poetia water legends of North
ern nnd OrlonUl climes. It is tho
expression of tho cultured Uilo, moro
than tho embellishment of wealth, that
make a charming homo.
A tank for a fresh-water aquarium
may bo constructed of four plates of
glass, with n largo piece of slate, mar
ble or metal for the bottom ; or tho tank
may bo mado wholly of inetal and set
liko a largo sink in a bay or oriel win
dow. Wo havo seon An aquarinm of
this kind Htirronndod with growing
tilaubi, in the midst of which is a min
iature cottage covered with mosses, a
perfect living picture, W it were, of tho
charms of rural lifo. Tho successful
fresh water uquarlam Ut a thing of re
cent date, and wo cannot bettor givo a
view of its requisites Ua by showing
how it was perfected by tho English
naturalist, Mr. WnrriBjrfcon. It used to
bo found a difficult thing to keep even
gold nnd silver fish all to for any con
siderable length of tiattin tho common
glass globes, risb. eta carbonic acni
gan, which soon toisonacou(lnol body
of water, destroying Animal lifo. It
was, however, at last discovered that
plants consurao this gMj using as food
tho noxious vapors omitted by animals.
Htartiug villi this principle, Mr. War
rington set about breeding fish in tanks
with tho aid of marine plants. Ho suc
ceeded admirably at fira, but, after a
tinio, a chaugo camo .over his little
world. Tho water bectno impure and
the Ash perished. IJr3tbo aid of the
microscope ho discovered a vegetable
poison arising from itno decaying
plants, ltut in riven aud ponds plants
decay without destroying animal lifo.
What was tho reason? Tho export
tnonlalist went to a poau in tho vicinity
and explored tho bottom with care.
Uo found decaying vegetablo matter,
but, likewise, water wails doing duty
as scavengers. Iu constructing your
aquarium you will, tfereforo, supply
tho water with growing plants, such as
iloliealo grasses, -nose, Jems, anu
with snails and musnekiij) consumo de
caying vegetation. If Hie window sink
is used for tho aquarium', it is well to
aarrouttd it with grOriirc-pUU Ilka
calla lily, and to cover tho bottom
with clusters of pebbles and marino
shells.
In selecting fishes for tlio aquarium,
gold and silver fish will of course haTO
the first choice, and after that tho min
nows. Tho beauty of theso fish, their
habits and tho management thoy require
nro too well kuor;n for an extended no
tice in u necessarily brief article. Tho
perch is a suitable fish for a fresh water
aquarium, tor a reason that may not bo
well known. It is ono of tho few fishes
that may be trained, and mado to show
iU docility by taking food from tho
fingers. Tho pike, which is tho shark
of fresh water, may bo put into an
aquarium with gold fish and perch, but
not with other fishes. Even with the
gold fish it is not to bo fully trusted, as
when hungry it has been known to eat
iU own species.
Tho trout is a handsomo fish, with its
crimson, spotted Bides, but like tho
piku it must be well fed and kept nwny
from smaller fishes. Tho eel may bo
used with safetya small ono, And frogs
may bo kept with larger fish.
Tho uierot may alto bo added to
the happy family, notwithstanding
tho antipathy against it on account of
its rosemblanco to tho lizard ; it is per
fectly harmless. Daring tho breeding
season it exhibits a varioty of shining
colors oruugo, olive, greeu, with a
mottling of brown and scarlet. Tho
water spidor is a curious insect, and, if
possible, should be seonrod for the
aquarium. It spends tho greater part
of iU timo beneath the wator, coming
to tlio surfuoo to seira its proy and to
obUin n fresh supply of air for iU sub
aquatic homo, lleclining figures of
plaster may bo added, and if tho tank

A morninc'B visit to tho principal

confirmed all that tho Traveller has
hcrotoforo expressed as to tho hopofnl
futuro. Tho head of ono of tho oldest
commission houses in Boston remarkod
that tho simplo fact of tho banks and
bankers taking tho largo number of
government Itonds on such favorable
terms wan in iUelf an indication of per
fectly restored confidence, and tho im
mediate result of this was tho rise of
stocks, and tho unlocking of large
amoaoU of capital and throwing it out
for investment, and . tho increased
movement in stocks has given confi
dence in othor directions.

have contracted for largo amounU of

pacity.
Tho managing partner of the largest

marked that at no time sinco 1870 have
the iobbors expressed so much confi
dence in tho future, and from a theo
retical and practical point of view, ho
felt convinced that the present year
would boo business placed substantially
where it waa before the war. The largo
i'obbers liko Jordan, Marsh k Co., who
tavo heretofore kept their stocks down,
aro now stocking largely.
Pausing from tho dry goods trado and
coming to tho boot and shoo trade, tho
great specialty of Boston, wo find an
equal degrco of expectation and confi
dence. Matters havo here decidedly
touched bottom, and passing along to
an upward look. A paitaer of ono of
the leading manufacturing bouses re
marked that ho expected dating the
present month a largo number of buy
ers here from tho West and South weat
than havo been hero before for several
years. Tho purchasers at tho west
that havo attained great proportions

bly falling off, and the largo bnyora
aro manifesting their preference for

Progress at Jerusalem.
Recent letter writers tell as that there
are moro signs of business and social
activity at Jerusalem now than at any
time since the days when it was the
capital of Israel's kings. In and about
tho city many new buildinca aro roior
up and this naturally calls for an in
crease ot agricultural and manufactur
ing interesU in the neighborhood. The
number of workers is growing and the
idlers aro pushed to tho wall as they
should be.
This result is dno not to the efforU of
onr co-religionists in Palestine and
their friends iu other countries but to
tho activity of Russia aud Germany as
antiquarians and colonists. Russia
especially seems bonk upon colo
nising iu the lioly .Land, prob
ably with a view to counteracting
a supposed preponderating influence dn
tne part o( .England, xhe czar looks
with a jealous ore on that portion of
the world's map, and quietly encour
ages a religious fanaticism on tho part

Tho lower classes in Russia aro ignorant
and superstitious and the same may

Their adoration of certain localities in
Jerusalem is blind, but it is real, and a
large expenditure of money in the way
of pilgrimages aud shrines ia a natural
oonsenueuce. This tends, of coarse.
toward building up business interests
and tho people of Palestine will gather
the harvest of gold that will follow.

requesting that orders should bo given
for his admission to Leaguo Island

complained of troubles in tho bead in

that he was not exactly compos mentis.
After mailing tho epistle tho very sick

Under the reign of the first Caliph

equally rich and avaricious. One day
be tad bargained with a porter to carry
homo for him a large basket of porcakia
vases for ten paras. A they weat
along he said to the man :
"My friend yon aro youBg aad I am
old ; you can still earn plenty ; strike
off, 1 beseech yoa, a para from yoar
hire."
" Willingly," replied the porter.
This request waa repeated again and
again, until, whon they reached the
the house, the porter had only a single
para to receive. As they weat up
stairs tho merchant said :
" If you will resign theUaet pan, I
will give you three pieces of advice."
" Be it so," said the porter.
"Well, then," said the merchant,
" if any one tells you it is better to be
fasting than feasting, do not believe
him. If any one talk you it is better to
tie poor than rich, do not believe him.
If any ono tolls you it iB batter to walk
than to ride, do not believe kirn."
' My dear sir," replied tho astoafaked
porter, "I know these things before ;
but if yoa will listen to me, I will give
you such ndvioe as yoa never heard."
Tho merchant turuod round, and the
porter, throwing tho basket down the
staioase, said to him :
" If any ono tella yoa that oae ef
your vasea ia unbroken, do not balkva
him."
