Calling on an Emir.

Asiatic tour, visited the emir of Sa-

most of his opportunities in the follow.
ing fashion:
Il first put on my cassock, that did
duty when | went to the court of st.
James. over this put on gorgeous,
gOld-embrOidered waistcoat, adapted
from a garment | bought in Servia, as
specimen of a Sevarian gentleman's
yest-grand enough for a general
and tied cincture at the bottom, with
ends hanging at the side, and over these
i hung my scarlet hood.
Fortunately, perhaps, there was no
mirror in the room, or my heart might
have failed me; but l next put round
my neck provincial grand chaplain $
collar of purple and gold, and on this
pinned three or four Masonic Jewels, by
way of medals, and slung at the bottom
my pocket Bible, after which my cos
tune was completed by a college cap;
and thus arrayed l mounted my palfrey
and sailed forth. My two dignities
went in front, preceded by a whole
bevy of officials, and the two interpret
ers came after.
''Of course / looked at the people as
we passed through the streets. Need ]
say that they looked still harder ut me,
doing my utmost, as | was, to keep my
countenance3 The boys, not content
with passing glance ran before, and
Kept turning round to look, and in the
bazaar buyers and sellers stopped their
bargaining in order to gaze.
"All went well, however, and we
reached the citadel This is a large
artificial mound, surrounded by high
clay walls, having an imposing gate
way, with a chamber above and a
tower on either side. A number of
troops were drawn up, who received
me with a salute, and we dismounted,
TO be received by two officers at the en-
trance, one of whom took charge of my
presents for his master. We then crossed
the first court, and on entering the sec
ond, ! caught sight of his majesty at
distance through an open door
The audience chamber was a good
sized room, carpeted all over, but with
out stick of furniture, except two
roughly made deal chairs. with Grim
son seats. The emir was perched on
one, and after giving me feeble shake
OF the hand, he motioued me to the
other. >" After explaining the nature of
his mission to the emir, which was to
distribute good books in prisons and
hospitals, and examine antiquities, the
doctor took hiS leave in the same formal
way.

CHANGING FASHIONS IN FISH.

Il have noticed" said an old fish
dealer, that the tastes for various
kinds of fish have undergone remark
able changes in the past few years.
Spanish mackerel, that was once an ex-
penslve luxury, and only to be found
at the best restaurants or on the tables
OF wealthy epicures, can now be had in
any eating house at prices very little
higher than those paid for ordinary
mackerei, and many, perhaps, prefer
the ordinary kind. Halibut, that used
to be the standard family fish of New
lorkers, has certainly sunk into a see
Ond or third place. can not very
readily account for this, because the
hallbut, cooked in any of the recognized
ways, l. a finely favored fish.
The consumption of Goldfish has in
creased enormously. 1t may be said to
have taken the place once occupied by
halibut; and, indeed, think il is a bet
ter favored fish. Boiled, or fried in
steaks, it is a decided delicacy. and is
plentiful enough to DO always procur-
able at a reasonable price. Pan fish are,
for the most part, of little value now.
POrgleS have lost ground considerably.
though they are very good eating. They
are becoming scarce in New ork wa
ters too.
"Singularly enough, the coarser fish
have gained somewhat in favor. The

man, IS now frequently seen on the

creased largely in popularity, and the
markets are usually well supplied with
them. They are sold at low prices

prOnunciamentO against a poor fish,
but now it is well understood that if a

it becomes firm, losses its muddy taste.
and makes fairly good meal
'Eels are dropping out Of public
favor rapidly, and brook trout and sal
mon have become highly popular,
thOugh both are very expensive, and
salmon are generally frozen and have
been long while on the way TO market. |
Some time ago a captain of a ship tried
the experiment of stocking our waters
with the much-prized English black !
sole. He brought out 100 of them, but |
they were all dead but seven when he |
arrived at Sandy Hook. He turned the !
seven adrift, and whether they turned !
their heads toward home or died where |
they were liberated don't know; but a |
down town restaurant keeper next day |
pinned notice in his window to the !
effect that he had caught them all, and |
was offering them all at % cents a |
plate. The black sole is fiat, like a
founder, but it is long and very thick.
1t has to be skinned, like an eel, before
it is cooked. 1t is a wonderfully deli |
cato and palatable fish"

Market with St. Andrews Cross.

Professor Taylor, the government mi
croscopIst, tells the American Microscop-
lcal society that by using powerful
nicr oscope and polarized light it is
easy to distinguish pure butter from
oleomargerlne. Each butter globule
under the microscope in that light
wears 1T. Andrews cross, while the
oleomargarine globules are different.
With this valuable information in bar
possession it should be easy enough for
the average housewife to discover
whether she is buying butter or cleo
margarine from her grocer. A suffi-
clent microscope can be bought for
about $500, and machine for the no
