The reason for this is that there will be a considerable quantity of alkali absorbed from the concrete by the first filling of water. Alkali is very detri- mental to fish and other animal life which, no doubt, you will be placing in the pool, along with your water plants. Gold fish are imported in such large quantities that they are so inexpensive that they are within the reach of the most moderate purse. The best variety for the ordinary pool are the larger species. They breed readily un- der almost any condition and re- quire much less care than the fancy ones. In our opinion the larger ones attract more atten- tion also than the small, fancy variety. A couple of weeks ago we were spending an hour or so in a park where there is quite a large pool stocked with all sorts of gold fish. People were much more in- terested in the larger fish and paid little attention to the small, fancy ones. The other day a dispute was overheard in which a boisterous ia-bred fellow called his adver- sary ano gentleman." "I suppose you think yourself oneF" was the reply. "Certainly, I do," answered the bully. "Then," said the other, "I am not offended that you don' think me one." K.W.
