"No Fish,"

Fine as are the salmon or New
Foundland, they are without honor in
their own country, as the following in
cident from DIR. s. 7. Daviss Carl
bou-Shooting in Newfoundland" will
show; Our way into the interior was
over n lovely pond. We had made an
early start, and left the foot Of the
pond just rs day was breaking. Wc
had not proceeded far when the writer
thought he could occasionally zee the
water break with splash in close
proximity to the canoe. Seated as he
was in the bow. he turned to the native
who was handling the paddle in tho
stern. and inquired whether there were
any fish in the pond.
Fish? No. sir, no fish, sir
Presently. when about halfway up
the pond. and Just as the sun was peep
ing over the eastern horison. he saw,
not six feet from the bow Of the canoe.
a magnificent salmon rise to the sur
face, and with a swish OF his tail. dis
appear. Again the writer turned to his
friend with the remark. Daddy. did
! understand you to say that there were
no fish In this pond?'
- mo fish. sir: no fish"
"Yes. butt beg your pardon-I a
m6ment ago saw what | took to be II
twelve or fiftecn-pound salmon break
the water not six feet from the bow of
the canoe"
..Oh, that was a salmon. There arc
plenty of trout and salmon in all these
waters. but no fish. sir. Nothing counts
as fish in these parts but Goldfish, sir"

most serious and solemn thing Of her
life. He wanted to give them some
good advice in regard to getting mar
ried.
First, | warn you against the snare
of appearances, he said. There are
tricks in love as we'll as in trade. One
of them is to make things seem what
they are not. AS you value your life
do not marry a manikin, hatter's
show block, tailor's lay figure.
Secondly, never marry man to
mend him or reform him. If a nan
will not reform to please his sweet
heart, he will never do so to please
his wife. ! am the father of two little
girls, and rather than that they should
marry men who drink l should prefer
to see them taken to the cemetery.
Thirdly, marry your equal. On the
other hand, do not marry for ambition
Do not marry a man whose age is great
ly disproportionate to yours. You do
not want to spend your best days min
istering to a superannuated person.
"Fourthly, do not make marriage a
matter of money. So common has the
mercantile estimate of marriage be-
come that | should not be surprised to
see the 'hymeneal market list chrOni-
cled in the newspapers and the prices
current quoted in the stock exchange
Il know it is accounted silly thing
to marry for love, but the woman who
for the want of it reduces marriage TO
a mercenary contract degrades mar
riage. degrades herself and infiicts an
irreparable outrage on the man she
marries.
Don't hesitate to marry poor man,
but be sure that he has something more
than his poverty to commend him.
And here let me say, marry man
who is industrious. The young man
who lives off the earnings of his father
until he can find a girl who is fool
enough to marry him will very likely
live off his wifes father. A do-nothing
Young man will make a good-for-noth-
ing husband.
Lastly, pause long before you say
the word that ends your chance of real
izing your ideal of marriage. Do not
become cynical The world is full OF
grand husbands and full of young men
who will make the right sort Of woman
happy"

EDUCATION FOR GIRLS.
Daughters Should be Given the BENEFITS OF
Careful Training.

Some one has said that woman is edu-
Gated for everything but the position OF
wife and mother. Whoever said 1t mad
false idea of the value of a general educa-
ton saws a. writer in the Woman's Home
COMPANION. Whatever trains and devel-
ops a Young girl into a stronger and nobler
womanhood will help her in any position
which she may be called upon 10 fill. In
childhood our girls should have the same
preliminary training as the boys. They
should be encouraged to play with '--eir
brothers. Boys grow more gentle and con-
siderate by this association, while the
girls gain in vigor and force. Indeed this
exchange of courtesies we find all through
life first in play. next in the co-educa-
tional schools. and lastly in the new homes
that are made.
If a daughter is delicate, she should not
be crowded with work. Let her education
take a longer time. There is no need oil
hurry. Why cannot the truth be recog-
nized that the years of training are the
most beautiful years of life? They are
full of hopes and aspirations which beau
tifv the soul even if they are never fully
attained. The wise mother will do all in
her power to extend this delightful period.
A thorough education makes it possible
for a young woman TO enter almost any
occupation she may desire. For those
who have been brought up tenderly it is
not always pleasant to be compelled to
care for themselves, but it is thousand
times better to be able TO do so in an
emergency than to eat the bread of de-
pendence. Education will fit them TO meet
lust such emergencies.

A PRETTY STORY.
OF Queen Victoria and Courteous Amori-
can Minister.

OF Queen Victoria aud Courteous Amcri-
can Minister.
The approaching celebration of the
sixtieth anniversary of Queen Victor
las reign naturally turns our thoughts
back to the year of grace 1897, when
Her Gracious Majesty was fair young
girl of eighteen.
Mr.. Andrew Stevenson, of Virginia,
had been the American minister to Eng
land only few months when the young
Princess became the Quoen. His con-
temporaries took great pleasure IN
hearing his experiences on that occas-
ion so fortunate for England and the
world
Mr.. Stevenson was duly presented to
King William ". by his predecessor
As he backed away from the presence
of majesty he observed small group
standing near the door, through which
he must leave the drawing room. Two
ladies. evidently a mother and daugh-
ter. attended by several gentlemen,
stood apart, neglected by the crowd.
Mr.. Stevenson saw that the young lady
was looking directly at him, and bowed
courteously to her, which salutatlon
was returned by the little party, the
two ladies smiling pleasantly.
When they were fairly out of hearing
Mr.. Stevenson's companion informed
him that the two ladies were the Ouch
ess of Kent and the Princess Victoria,
and that he had committed a great
blunder in saluting them, since it was
contrary TO court etiquette TO acknoWl-
edge the heir in the presence of the
sovereign. The gallant Virginian, how
ever. stoutly protested that no cast
iron rule could excuse a gentleman for
incivility to lady.
When the next Drawing Room was
held Mr.. Stevenson saw with satlsfac-
ton that the young Princess and her
marty were all looking away from him,
so that his courtesy need not be tried
But as he approached them the Duchess
of Kent remarked. in an audible voice,
Victoria. the American minister The
voung Princess turned quickly with
glance of recognition, and again smll-
ingly acknowledged Mr.. Stevensons
bow.
Not many weeks after this the young
Princess became the Queen, and showed
her appreciation OF American clylllty
bv including Mr.. Stevenson's name IN
the list of first guests invited to WIND
CIR Castle When the visit took place,
Mr. Stevenson found himself seated
near the Queen, to whom he talked as
he would to any other pleasant young
eiH The courtiers present exchanged
chances Of horror at seeing him guilty
of such a faux pas. With them, unless
ROYALTY spoke first, silence was pre-
served.
The Young sovereign regarded Mr..
Stevenson's attentions more favoraDly
and invited him to ride with her the
next morning. He told with much hui

and how. when she leaped her horse
over a five-barred gate, he dared not

woman who wears it.
A novel idea, carried out at an Eng
lish wedding is a procession Of eight
little bridesmaids, following the bride,
each one wearing a Victorian bonnet
made Of rose twigs lined with silk of
the prevailing color in the dress, and
carrying crooks entwined with ribbon
and flowers.
Flowers and foliage form the most
conspicuous part of the trimmings on
this seasons summer hats, not as in
former seasons, a mass Of one kind
alone, but in every conceivable combl-
nation. the purple violet almost always
making one kind, no matter what else
the other one or even two may be.
A very new, wiry stuff, not unlike
etamine in weave, only much sitter,
comes in all the bright shades and is
much used as facings or for a puff set
into the upper edge of the crowns of the
hat. Brown, with green puffs of this
let in, is very swaggar. By the way,
the hats almost without exception, are
faced
The special feature of the summer
shoulder cape is the short, full effect
which gives it the appearance of an
extended neck ruff. Transparent ma
terials such as grenadine, mousseline
de sole. batiste and net, accordion
plated very full, flourish in these gar
ments. and jet and butter-colored lace
figures largely in the trimming. The
zouave jacket style of ornament, with
the full cape sleeves, ranks with the
cane as good style, but It is not so use
full owing to the inconvenience of put
ting it on and taking it off.
