The Dutch hail suffered tbo hinds of .Spain, the stronghold of Homan Catholicism, that their K. fi Church, the church of «early Manhattan, abhorred tho observances of Romo quite as much as they abhorred tho devil, and were in the,:- way quite «3 ultra-Protest ant as the Puritans of Ngw England their;. . 7: . latter were so careful t correspondenco with Papistical that their day of fasting, of prnyi tags and of all penitential observances «k Thursday,, which iu the Roman church is next to Sunday ns a gala day, while Friday was with the Puritans the tunal day for a-iy eort of merry making. The oddest of all those transpositions, however, was removing the weekly tLsli dinner from Friday to Saturday, on which Utter day every well regulated New England family rut down to what waa called a "salt fish dinner.” which seems, according to tradition, to have been n very elaborate affair, f r the ii-li must bo of the quality known . i "dun," and to be perfectly cookt .l mu-t be packed between two white IL»h, the whole being laid without bending in a copper fish kettle and steeped, but not boiled. The oqtcr Ibth wore then taken off and thrown awayjknd the center one was served whole with white wince, pork scraps, young beets, panmijm and potatoes. This was the traditional '‘salt iish dinu'jr” of olden times in ^inssachu- setts, nu 1 the “survival of tho fittest” is nen in the fish balls that still grace ev ery Sunday morning breakfast table in New England.
