In the first place, says Ella Morris
Kretschmar in Good Housekeeping, the
fish itself-is it fresh? Madam, If you
can tell silk from calico you should be
able to determine that point, such knowl-
edge being pSrt of an intelligent equip
ment for life. But your education is de-
fcient? Then know that fresh fish is
firm of flesh ESQ firm that pressure will
not leave an indentation), and full eyed,
that it has bright scales, stiff fins, red
gills never pale nor liver colored), and
finally that its odor is neither marked nor
unpleasant. Fulfilling these conditions a
fish is both fresh and in it's fright sea-
son" for use: lacking such indications it
is not worth a moments consideration,
for a stale fish is not merely disappoint-
ing to the palate. but is an unwholesome
abomination.
From the water to the pot" alone full
fills the epicure's ideal; but since these
conditions cannot often be commanded
these tests are a safe guide.

womsn,s Dread of Isolation.

The young wife taken from among at
feetionate relatives and installed in a
home Of her own meets for the first time
the test of character that searches out
her very soul, life and ambition. Sur
rounded with all that money can pro-
cure, she is lonely and uncomfortable
in her new kingdom. The novelty at first
may counteract any fear or depression Of
monotony, but as the days and weeks
pass there grows up morbid longing for
old scenes and faces. Her husband is
away from her most of the day, and she
finds it impossible to create new world
of thought and work to occupy her mind
during the dull hours. Her nerves be-
come unsettled. Each day she fears the
departure of her husband and the neces-
sity of being alone, but, ashamed of her
own weakness. she conceals the suffering
that daily torments her. Eventually a
nervous breakdown may precipitate mat
tiers. but even the cause of it is not al
ways apparent to either the wife or hus-
banda. S. Atkinson, NJ. D., in Wom-

Congregational Church Organized
There Last Thursday.
SEAL HARBoR, June 10 (special)-An
ecclesiastical council OF the neighboring
Congregational churches met at Seal Har-
Dor Thursday and organized the Congre-
gational church OF Seal Harbor.
The coucil assembled at Seaside hall at
p. M, and was called to order by Rev.
Charles Whittier, OF Bangor. Rev. J. 5.
Penman, OF Bangor, was chosen modera-
| tor, and Rev. Z. N. Davie, of Islesford,
| clerk.
| Aside from members of the council and
the members OF the proposed church, a
| number OF the friends assembled for the
afternoon service.
A statement of the need of Congrega-
tional church from permanent resident
members was presented by Rev. A. r.
Mcdonald and w. s. Smallidge. The
claims of the summer residents were ably
presented by Prof. w. A. Brown. After a
careful consideration, it was the unan-
imous vote that the organization of a
Congregational church was advisable, ex-
pedient and very necessary.
A public reception was given to the Wis
iting delegates in the parlor OF Seaside
inn, after which the council, the mem
bers OF the new church and their friends
adjourned to the spacious dining hall to
enjoy the dinner so well arranged and so
delightfully."- served by the landlords, A. &
]. Clement.
The evening audience crowded the hall,
many being compelled to stand. The fol-
lowing members were received into the
new church by acting pastor, Rev. A. p.
Mcdonald: Mr.. and Mrs. W. s. SMALL
idge, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Clement, Mrs.
Emily Pung, Mrs. Emily J. Pinkham,
Mrs. Lenora McCrae, Miss Bertha Lam
caster, Mrs. Addie Clement, Mr.. and Mrs.
David Marshall Mrs. Annie Carter.
The right hand of fellowship was ex-
tended to the new members by Rev. j. s.
Penman. The prayer of conservation was
offered by Rev. Charles Whittier.
Then followed short addresses by Rev.
II. Owen, Rev. c. N. Dayie and Prof. W.
Adams Brown. The Lords supper was
commemorated, Rev. j. M. Adams and
Rev. r. Owen officiating, assisted by Dea.
E. r. Burpee, Bangor, and Dea. Gilley, of
Southwest Harbor.
The new church starts off with bright
prospects. As wedding gift, the Central
church, Bangor, presented a communion
service. A friend has given $3.50 towards
church building that must soon be
erected, as there is at present no place in
the village large enough to hold the au-
diences.
The summer people cooperate most
heartily with the resident people toward
the erection OF a church. During the
summer many eminent leaders in relig
ious thought will be heard. An effort
will be made to have a building erected
this summer.

Home Journal, addressing girls who have
gone from home into the world to seek
their livelihood. "Never let Sunday

ton for Sunday, and / can hardly tell

She wipes her hands and sits down in the

and aware that he must wait until moth
er has satisfied her heart with the first
reading. Then it will be his turn. To
them both you are, and you will always
be, just their own little girl, and you can

In an interview Mrs. Mary A. Liver

time she spoke in public. She said:
"My first speech was made in 1861, at
Dubuque, La. was scared to DEATH

ing my voice or seeing the audience. The
way my knees knocked together would
have made the knocking Of Belshazzar's
piece Of folly. Then the people became
clearer. l could pick out the faces Of my
friends in the densely packed hall. Then.
as paused, there came a startling burst
Of applause that made me jump and look
around, thinking something had given
way.
This effort was followed by deluge
of invitations. Come and make us the
same speech you did at Dubuque was
echoed from all parts of the country. At
that time / was very much averse to wo-
mems speaking in public. / didn't believe
in it. l doubted the wisdom of it. But
my interest in it grew, because l felt that
the women must be started up to look
after the needs of our soldiers, the men
being so busy"

The Way Ii Is Said.

The Sultan awoke with stified scream.
His nerves were shocked by fearful dream.
An omen of terrible import and doubt,
His teeth all In one moment fell out.
His wise men assembled at break of day,
And stood at the throne in solemn array.
And when the terrible dream was told,
Each felt shudder his blood ran cold.
And all stood silent In fear and dread,
And wondering what was best to be said.
At length soothsayer. wrinkled and gray.
Cried pardon, my lord, what have to say;
IT'S an omen of sorrow sent from on high,
Thou shalt see all thy kindred die"
Wroth was the Sultan; he CRASHED his teeth,
And his very words seemed to hiss and seethe.
As he ordered the wise man boupd'with chains,
And gave him hundred stripes for his pains.
The wise men shook as the Sultan's eve
Swept round to see who next would try:
But one of them, stepping before the throne,
Exclaimed. In a loud and Joyous tone:
"Exult, o head of a happy stated
Rejoice, o heir of glorious fatel
For this Is the favor thou shalt win,
o, Sultan, to ouiliye all thy kin"
Pleased was the Sultan, and called slave
And hundred crowns to the wise men gave.
But the courtiers nod, with grave sly winks.
And each one whispers what each one thinks:
"Well can the Sultan reward and blame;
Didn't both the wise men foretel the same?"
Quoth the crafty old vizier, shaking his head
$50 much may depend on the way things said ~

In making choice of flowers for an
entertainment the color scheme of ones
rooms should be first taken into account
and only such varieties of flowers used
as will tremendously blend with it.
A red dining room is effectively deco
rated with American Beauty roses or the
ordinary red roses, or, if one cannot at
ford such expense, red carnations may be
substituted. The candle shades, cakes,
bonbons, ices, etc, can easily be made to
carry out the color scheme.
When asked as to what flowers he sold
the most of for decorating purposes at
night, fashionable florist replied that he
had orders for all kinds, with the possi-
BILE exception of yiolets. These dainty lit
tie flowers should only be used for lunch
cons or other functions in the daytime,
