One of the most attractive features in a home is a well- 

 kept fish globe. Many hours can be passed by young and 

 old in watching the actions of its finny inhabitants, opening 

 to us a world of study and revealing to us the mysteries and 

 phenomena of the liquid world. It is a source of continual 

 interest and never-failing delight. Fish globes are care- 

 fully packed and can be shipped with entire safety. Fish 

 require little or no attention, in fact, more fish die from too 

 much attention than from the lack of it. Water should not 

 be changed oftener than once a month. Gold Fish, Silver 

 Fish and Japanese Fan Tail Fish are the most popular for 

 globes. Sand, or pebbles, should be placed }i inch deep on 

 the bottom of globe and a plant of Washington Grass plan- 

 ted. Feed the fish twice a week on Faust's Fish Food. 

 Never give bread crumbs.

POT, SWEET AND MEDICINAL 

 HERBS. 



Every garden should contain some of the following varie- 

 ties of herbs, both for culinary and medicinal purposes, as 

 they are easily grown, and, when preserved by drying, are 

 ready for use at any season of the year. Care should be taken 

 to harvest them properly. Cut just before they are in full 

 bloom, on a dry "day, and, after having been thoroughly 

 dried, they should be entirely excluded from the air. Sow 

 in spring, 'in shallow drills, covering lightly, and when well 

 up thin out or transplant to a proper distance apart.
