The Black King and the White Pashn.

When Gordon Pasha was taken pris-
oner by the Abyssinians he completely
checkmated King John. The King re-
ctivcu his prisoner sitting on his throne,
or whatever piece of furniture did
duty for that exalted seat, a chair be-
ing placed for the prisoner considerably
lower than the scat on which the King
sat. The first thing the Pasha did was
to seize this chair, place it alongside
that of His Majesty, and sit down on
it; the next, to inform him that he met
him as an equal and would only treat
him as such. This somewhat discon-
certed his sable Majesty, but on re-
covering himself he said, do you know,
Gordon Pasha, that l could kill you on
thespot if l liked?' 81 am perfectly
well aware of it, your Majesty" said
the Pasha. "Do SO at once if it is your
royal pleasure. l am ready" This
disconnected the King still more, and
he exclaimed, "What. ready to be
killed." "Certainly," replied the Pasha;
Il am always ready to die, and so far
from fearing your putting me to death,
you would confer favor on me by so
doing, for you would be doing for me
that which l am precluded by my re-
ligious scruples from doing for myself
you would relieve me from all the
troubles and misfortunes which the fu
ture may have in store for me-" This
completely staggered King John, who
gasped out in despair, "Then my power
has no tcrrors for you?" "None what
cver," was the Pasha's laconic reply.
His Majesty, it is needless to add, in
stantly collapsed.

Style at tho White House.

a Washington letter to the Cincin
natl Enquirer says: While l was in
Washington l went through a portion
of the Executive Mansion which have
not seen for the past two or three
years. 1t has been rcfurnished accord
ing to the prevailing style by Tiffany
and other imitators of what is going
on in Europe. The East Room is now
kind of silver and gold room, and ii
has only two portraits in it-Genera
Washington, by Stewart, and Mrs
Washington, by Andrews. In the long
corridor, which connects the East
Room with the staircase and bisect'
the lower floor, I looked at the portraits
of the Presidents, and it seemed to me
that the best of them was that of Gar
field. Tho artist has made the light
shine on his forehead so AS to bring
out his intellectual nature strongly and
also to give kind of tender halo to
his eye expressive of that almost fem
inine sensibility he had. A number Of
women were going through the apart
ments with man-servant, and | was
struck with the want of refinement and
delicacy among these, and it seemed tc
me that the older the women were the
more crochety and disagreeab!e were
their remarks. There was one old
woman who seemed to think that the
White House and its treasures were
designed to illustrate her private biog.
raphy. She would look up to the por.
trait of Hayes, and say: "Who is
that?" president Hayes replied
the custodian. 81 never seen him,
Who is this man?' "That is President
Pierce" "Yes, seen him once"

Salmon Fishing on Labrador Coast.

One of the most important Of the
Labrador fisheries next to the cod is
that of tho salmon, though they are by
10 means as extensive here as in the
lower Canadian provinces, especially

renee. The salmon go up the river to
spawn; returning, they are found in
the adjacent waters of the river along
the coast, in the late summer and ear.
y fall. The number of fish annually
captured is immense. The best, and
in fact only real, season for capturing
these fish is few weeks in the early
autumn. They are caught in gill nets,
large or small, with a regulation mesh
Of six inches. The nets are placed
along shore at the mouth of the river,
or across some channel Of the stream,
and visited every day. Tho fish en-
tangle themselves in the meshes, which
are made sufficiently large to allow thd
the young fish to escape by passing en-;
tirely through them, and are held
until the fisherman comes and secures
his catch. The FISH are then cut open
from head to tail, and carefully clean
ed inside and out, all the black ski
being peeled off the back bone. The!
are then soaked in fresh water, thel
in salt brine, and finally packed il
barrels. There are seldom more oi
less than twenty-three fish to barre.
As each barrel brings about Sl2 cash
each fish is valued at fifty cents,
This is, of course, the first cost of the
fish.
Salmon-lishing is only in its prime
for about four weeks, between, say
July 25 and August 25. This fishing
is plentiful all along the rivers on the
coast, and there is seldom one that has
not several fisheries upon it. l SHOULD
say that barrel of salted salmon will
average about 200 pounds in weight,
Salmon are, other than above, preserv.
ed by drying, smoking, and canning,
The latter process is rarely, if at all,
employed in Labrador; the other two
seldom. They are smoked much as
herring are, and dried in the sun much
as Goldfish on fshhakes. Salmon are
caught with the hook and line by
those who care to angle for them, and
as the rivers and bays are quite full
at the proper season, it is work ol
pleasure and profit to practice the rod
with this king of fish in his native ele
ment and at home, when he is most
abundant.

A towel folded several times and

DIR. Wilson says in the Southern
World that it is a mistaken idea that
no fruit should be eaten at breakfast.
In the morning there is an acrid state
of the secretons, and nothing is so
well calculated to correct it as peaches,
apples, sc. The small seeded fruits,
such as figs, blackberries, raspberries,
and Strawberries, may be classed
among the best fruits and medicines.
The sugar in them is nutritious, the
acid purifying, and the seeds laxative.
We should look more to our gardens
for our medicines, and less to our drug
stores.
The Chicago Druggist recommends
the following remedy for severe scalds
and burns: cover the injured parts
freely with soft soap. If the burn be
severe, apply soon after linseed oil,
with a plentiful dressing Of flour. This
cakes, and fresh oil and flour can hG
added. When this covering falls off a
new skin will have formed, and no scar
left. The same journal says carron oil
is one of the best remedies where the
skin is unbroken, care of course being
taken to exclude the air from the in
lured part.
DIR. James Edwin Briggs, Of New
York has contributed to the Medical
Tribune an article on catarrh and its
sequences, containing some facts
which are important for everyone to
know. He says indigestion and
fatigue are the principal causes, though
inborn scofula is not to be lost sight
of, and the vaccine poison is a frequent
cause of the blood disorder which
eventually results in chronic catarrh.
Where there is the most vaccination
there is the most catarrh." In the
way of hygiene he recommends that
the food should be plain, the amount
moderate, and over-eating is to be
Stunned as a prolific source Of mischief.
One-fourth of the food usually taken,
and frequently more than that, can be
omitted with advantage.-Dr. Foote's

An Incxplicable Case.

In an article on "The viii and its
Derangement, published in the Youth
Companion, DR.. w. A. Hammond says:
had once under my observation the
Tase of gentleman who could not sign
his name unless he first rose from his
chair and turned round three times.
AS he occupied a position of trust, and
one which required him to aflix his sig
nature to papers very often in the
course of the day, the circumstance
caused him great annoyance. The dis
order was developed very suddenly,
and quite unaccountably. He was,
one night, after day of excitement
and fatigue, about to sign check
which he had just drawn up, when he
found, to his astonishment, that he
could not form the letters OF his name
lie pushed the check aside, and began
to copy some words from book which
lay on the table before him. He did
this with his usual facility. But the
moment he attempted to write his
name to them, he was powerless
Alarmed at what he thought was a
symptom Of some serious brain disease,
he threw down the pen, and rising
from his chair, walked several times
up and down the floor, trying to ana
lyze his feelings. There was no pain
in his head. his thoughts were collect
ed, and there was no excitement except
that developed by the curious circum-
stance which had just occurred.
Determined, if possible, to overcome
the difficulty, he again essaycd to sign
the check, and, to his great relief, ac-
complished the undertaking without
the slightest apparent effort. En-
boldened by his success, he tried
second time to write his name, but q
second time he found it impossible to
do so. Rejecting upon the matter, he
recalled the fact that it was only after
he had paced the floor that he had
been able to write his name. So he
walked across the room two or three
times, and then found that he could
make his signature with entire ease.
Further experience showed him that it
was not the walking that was 'necessa-
ry, but that it was essential he should
turn round three times. Without
these preliminary gyrations it was i'm
possible for him to write his name,
though perfectly able TO write page
after page of other matter. The con-
dition existed for about month, and
then by my advice he stopped writing
altogether and took voyage to
Europe. lie renamed absent several
months, during which period he never
put pen or pencil to paper. On the
way back subscription was taken up
on the ship for some charitable object,
and he was requested to sign the
paper. Without rehecting-for if he
had, he would not have made the at
tempt--he took the pen held out to
him and wrote his name without the
slightest hesitation. After this he had
no further trouble. Such cases are, in
thepresent state of our knowledge, alb
RolQtsly !nexp!!cable, .
