on sale in the fish market and are
quoted at 10 cents pound and s1.9O a
gallon respectively
There was cleanup sale of fish
Saturday and when the market opened
for business yesterday morning a
scarcity was In evidence. No shipments
are in sight, 1t is said, and certain it
is that any fish offered for sale this
week Will be absolutely fresh stock.
Southern oysters will probably be on
sale within the next Is days 1t is
too early for the southern breed at
the present time and the oysters on
sale are from the northern beds.

Tit for Tat

Amongst the peculiar marriage customs
of the world may be classed that which
prevails in Brittany, says Tit-Bits. When
the wedding ceremony is over it is the
practice for the lord and master TO give
his bride a sound box on the ear, and to
say as he gives it:
''That is how it feels when you make
me vexed"
After this most unlover-lille proceeding
he greets her with an ardent kiss, and
tenderly utters the words
''And thus 1t feels when you treat me
we'll"
A Breton once had the temerity to link
his fortunes with those of German lass,
and nothing daunted, gave her the usual
salute on retiring from the altar. But he
had mistaken his girl. and the stout
hearted damsel ignorant of the custom.
did not wait for the kiss, but dealt her
swain a resounding clout on the side of
his face and exclaimed with emphasis:
Look here Jean; you had better un-
understand. once for all, I'll have none
of that
The young fellow. sadder ana wiser,
rubbed his cheek. and left the church
with the settled belief that he had, with
out doubt a better half who would.
