Cere of Gold Fish.

The secret of success iu caring for gold fish is to keep the water they are in fresh and sweet. Their globe should be emptied and its water renewed as often as every second day. Lift each flßh out gently in a glass full of water, empty the globe, wash it out. then put in fresh water and |>ut the fish back again. Clear sweet rain water should be used and its temperature should be raised to 76 or 80 degrees by warming a part of it. Sparkling well water is too cold for the fish to thrive In. and too pure, for the anlmalculae of rain water forms an Important part of the food of these fish. They need no other sustenance ..than a very few bread crumbs sprinkled In their watsr daily, for overfeeding will kill them very quickly.— Houaekeeeper.
