Salmon Fishing Oa Laorador Coast.

One of the most important of the
Labrador fisheries next to the cod is
that OF the salmon, though they are by
10 means as extensive here as in the
over Canadian provinces, especially
II Restigouche and the Bay of Chaleur.
n the south side of the River st. Law
'ence. The salmon go up the river to
pawn; returning. they are found in
ne adjacent waters of the river along
the coast, in the late summer and earl
y fall The number of fish annually
captured is immense. The best. and
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 regulation mesh
Of SIX inches. The nets are placed
along shore at the mouth of the river
OF across some channel Of the stream,
ana visited every day The fish en-,
tangle themselves in the meshes, which
are made sufficiently large to allow the
the young fish to escape by passing en-
tireiy 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 skin
being peeled off the back bone. They
are then soaked in fresh water, then
In salt brine, and finally packed in
barrels. There are seldom more or
less than twenty-three fish to a barrel.
AS each barrel brings about s12 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 % and August 25. This fishing
is plentiful all along the rivers on the
coast, and there is seldom one that has
hoC several hsherles upon it. [ should

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 lishAakes. 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 a work Of
pleasure and profit to practice the rod

MARRYING Early,

The New York Evening Post says
observation among ones acquaintance
shows the fact TO be that people do
not marry early nowadays, and, in
deed, as a general rule, do not marry
early enough. In many cases that
event takes place as a result of pru-
dence and calculation.
The New York Ledger rejoins: We
cannot agree with our contemporary
in regarding time as so important an
element in marriage. A girl can af-
ford to wait great many years
rather than marry any one but the
right man; while, on the other hand,
it may be wise for man to marry the
right girl as soon as he is sure he has
found her, no matter how early. AS
Herrick sang, so he may say to him
self:
"Gather We rose-buds while we may
Old Time is still a-nying;
And this same flower that smiles to-day,
Tomorrow will be dying.
'rThen be not coy, but use your time
And while We may, go marry
For having lost but once your PRIME
You may forever taT1y."
Our contemporary speaks ot pru-
dence and calculation in the same
breath, as though each was equally
Objectionable in the selection of Wlle'
but we cannot go so far. Surely Pru-
dence should be an element in every
matrimonial arrangement.

Go Slow at First.

Burdette says: Learn to walk. young
man, before you try to prance. Don't
hunger and thirst for a boudoir car
while you are the junior clerk, and have
to sweep out the store and sleep under
the counter If you are young ply
sician, don't expect to make it all in the
first year. Your father rode four OF
five horses to death before he was able
to put an administer on the Office floor,
and lean back in his sleepy hollow
chair and announce that he would an
swer no calls after 6 p m. If you are
practicing law, remember that the old
attorney whose Office you are sweeping
out, wore white hair, and not much Of
that, before he began taking whole
farms for single fees in small cases.
And bear in mind, too, that they didn't
spend every cent of it as fast as they
got it.

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 tr,a'
him as such. This somewhat discon.
certed his sable Majesty, but on re-
covering himself he said, 'Doyo know,
Gordon Pasha that could kill you on
the spot if liked?" 81 am perfectly

disconnected the King still more, and
he exclaimed, "Whatl ready to be

An hnexplicable Ease.

In an article on "The VIII and its
arrangement, published in the Youth
Companion, DR.. w. A. Hammond SAYS
had once under my observation the
Iase Of gentleman who could not sign
his name unless he first rose from his
chair and turned round three times.
AS he occupied position of trust, and
one which required him to ailix 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. lie 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
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 DIS head, his thoughts were collect
ed $d there was no excitement except
thakeveloped by the curious circum-
stay q which had just occurred.
De- PINNED, if possible, to overcome
the .lleulty, ne again essayed to sign
the Feck' and, to his great relief, ac-
complished the undertaking without
the slightest apparent effort. En-
boldened by his success. he tried a
second time to write his name. but A
second time he found 1t impossible to
do So kellecting 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
tlme'' and then found that he could
make MS signature with entire ease
uf'ner experience showed him that it
