Five fishcompanies were organized
at Ocean City early in the spring. and
up to within a few days after the erup.
tjo4 at Martinique large quantities of
seq trout aud bass were caught. Since
tbeN> very few fish of any kind here
Haye Been taken except sturgeon. The
theory is that the fish, which at this
season usually come close inshore. have
been driven out to sea by the submarine
disturbances caused by the frequent
eruptions at Martinique. Whatever the
cause may be, the usual hauls of fish
from the ocean have fallen off 80 per

Rev. DIR. John l.. Scuddcr, pastor of
First Congregational Church, Jersey
City. preached recently on the subject
of "How to Bring Up Girls" Among
other things he said: Americans do
not give enough attention to the physi-
cal education of their daughters, the
mothers often thinking more about
what they should put on their clothes
than looking into their constitution.
This. he said, was the reason why the
American women fade early and can
not endure the strain of modern life.
"Give me "A girl who can climb fence,
row boat and take fish off hook
without screaming for somebody to help
her, said the clergyman. He also said
