1T is q hint, and 4 valuable
onc-how TO tell when fish are
fresh. Says q knowing one:
ALI fish suffer by being long kept
out Of the water. The modern
method Of freezing fish preserves
them to an extent, but they are
never so good after having gone
through this process. After
having been frozen they decay
almost the instant they are
thawed. These should only be
called fresh fish by courtesy.
There is one criterion by which
all fresh fish may be judged.
That is the clearness Of the eyes
and the firmness Of the flesh.
When the eye is no longer fresh
and clear, or when the flesh is
soft, q purchaser may be con-
fident that the fish has been too
long out Of water.

on our streets chewing for dear

and every few minutes the gum
would lodge in the upper story
of her mouth, and in trying to
get it back, she stumped her
toe, and her eyes looked like the
full moon. That was q grand
