To Alleviate Sea Sickness.

Punch once described this as a
condition in which you spent 1.-THE
first half-hour fearing that you
would die" and as the mal-de-mer
increases, "you spend the next
hour in fearing that you won't"
There are many remedies recon-
manded, says an English writer,
but most of these can only be safe
ly taken under medical supervi-
sion. The practice of taking full
meal just before sailing is alto
gether wrong; nor is fasting to be
recommended. A good meal should
be taken about three hours before
sailing to place the patient in the
best possible condition to fight the
exhaustion. One medicine may be
safely tried by anyone-that is,
bromide of potassium. Twenty
grains should be taken in water
twice a day for two days before 60
ing on board. Immediately on
embarking the patient should lie
down on his back, place the head
on a level with the body, and close
the eyes against external inhrnces.
With the first feeling of nausea,
try three-grain doses of anti-pyrine,
taken at intervals of half an hour,
and not exceeding four doses.
When vomiting comes on, lcs
should be sucked, or iced cham
payne may be taken. Perhaps the
best effects may be obtained by
binding a rather tight compress
over the stomach by means of a
broad binder, which is to be ex-
tended down over the whole abdo-
men. This continuance tends to
keep away the vomiting, and, when
persistent, it saves the abdominal
muscles from that wretched strain
ing that is so hard to bear. Darwin,
in his autobiography, refers to
raisins as the only food that would
stay on his stomach when seasick /;
other people find relief and nour-
ishment in nibbling hard ship
biscuit.

Two Suppositions.

Suppose the Senate should decide upon
and pass the compromise bill recently
suggested in place of the silver purchase
repeal bill, the compromise embracing a
bond issue and the free coinage of silver
to the amount of 5000, 600 ounces per
month until the silver coinage shall have
reached $SOO,OOO, 600 is there any good
reason to believe the House would accept
such a compromise, or that the President
would sign it if the House were to accept
it, The House has declared unequivo-
cally, by a vote of nearly 2 to l, that
the Sherman silver purchase act must be
repealed, Internationally. And there is
nothing TO Indicate that the House has
changed its position.
Suppose the Senate should decline
either to accept compromise or to pass
the repeal bill, and propose an adjourn
ment2 The Senate is powerless to ad-
journ sine die without the concurrent ac-
ton of the House; would the House con-
cur and thereby kill the bill it has passed
and sent to the Senate for ratification?
Should the Senate propose an adjourn
ment and the House disagree as to the
time, it would then be within the Presi-
dents powers, under the constitution to
terminate the session

Fong Chung. Acting American Consul.

Fong Chung, Acting American Consul.
The precipitate haste Of one federal
official and the unaccountable hardness
of another has resulted in placing this
country in as neat a comic opera "situa-
/ ton" as ever w. S. Gilbert conceived Of
/ Here we are, making war upon the
/ Chinese, driving them out of our country,
/ photOgraphing them like criminals for
| purposes of Identification, and putting
| the screws upon them at every possible
opportunity; yet ships are crossing the
seas to America bearing papers signed,
'Fong Chung, acting United States con-
sui. Annoy"
FOng, it appears, was an interpreter
and hired man about the consulate under
Dr. Edward Bedloe, of Philadelphia,
President Harrison's consular appOintee
| When Mr.. Cleveland was elected DR.
Bedloe came to the conclusion that it
would be better to resign than be decapi-
tated, and imagining probably that Mr..
| Clevelands eye would rest upon Annoy
the very first place when he came to dis
pose of foreign appointments, he wrote
and forwarded his resignation at once.
About the same time he sent home
graphic description of the bugs and ants
and spiders and flies of Annoy; what ter
rife pests they We're, and how they seemed
to cOnspire to make the life of American
cOnsuls miserable. 1t was a narrowing
story, one well calculated to strike terror
to the soul of whOmsoever Mr.. Cleveland
might appoint as DR. Bedloe's successor.
A ffgv, - H.
resignation to reach the United States,
DR.. Bedloe, as it would now appear,
locked up the shop, gave the keys to
Fong, and told him to run things to suit
himself until his successor arrived; that
he was going home. 1t may have been
the bugs that hurried the consul; it may
have been the ants, or the feas or the
flies at any rate he hurried.
Somewhere in the neighborhood of the
time that DR.. Bedloe was hurrying home
along in the early SUMNER Hampton
Hoge, of Virginia, was appointed consul
at Annoy. For some reason Mr.. Hoge al
lowed the thirty days given him to depart
for his post to slip by without showing
any desire to sail for China 1t may or
may not have been that he had read DR.
Bedloe's insect story. At any rate he
failed to go. Then he applied for and re-
ceiyed an extension of this time, and the
last heard from him at the state depart
ment was that he would leave his home in
Virginia for Annoy on Oct. g.
Meanwhile, Fong Chung, whom we
would not permit to set foot upon our soil
if he should come over here, holds forth
as the American representative at Annoy.

A Fisherman's Romance.

Ftshermen's stories are proverbial for
their elasticity The angler never tires of re-
lating some marvellous experience, and the
size Of the fish on which the experience hahRs

counted. One related by the Fishing Gazette
Will take a lot of beating. The writer says
Il met him on the banks Of the Ancholme
near Brtgg, in Lincolnshire, an old angler.

experiences. Rehlllng and lighting his pipe,
he then proceeded to answer my query by
telling the following remarka BILE story. which
he had the audacity to say actually occurred
in his own angling experience. really never
thought looked so simple as he evidently
thought was. l will tell you the story In his
own words, which were as follows:
. 1t was some years ago, I, was fishing for
pike at Kelsey dyke end, near the old lock
fishing with live bait and snap tackle, when
suddenly there came a mighty tug. All my
line ran out and, thinking it was big nsh, |
flung my rod into the water, hoping to get
boat and so land my fish. The fish at once set
his head for the river. Out he went at the
dyke, and at a fearful speed, dragging rod
and all after him. Once in the broad river the
fish made for up stream toward Brandy
Wharf, and after him. had to run and
keep up with him. AS l went Invested my
self ofmy clothing, and flung it on the bank as
went along: my hat here and my boots there,
coat, vest pants. shirt, each article widely
separated from the other, undressing and 60
ing all the time, painting and perspirins; the
fish still going ahead like a little steam en-
CINE. After going about mile the hsh eased
up bit. In went into the water, and in my
plunge got right astride the rod. OF goes the
fish again, and I riding on the rod, and once
the fish pulled me and the rod right under the
water; but I stuck to it, and at last was
brought TO a StandStiu in mud hole, stand
ing up to the waist in black mud. Here 1
stood and hauled the fish towards me, and
seized him by thrusting my thumb and finger
into each of his eyes Then with desperate
effort 1 cot out of the mud and dragged my
fish with me. 1t was pike weighing seven
teen pounds, and 1 sold IL to a local clergy

The Dinkey Bird.



In an ocean far out yonder.
AS all sapient people know,
Is the land of Wonder Wander
Whittier the children love togo:
It's their playing, romping, swinging,
That giveth Joy to me,
While the Dinkey Bird goes singing
In the amfalula tree!
There the gumdrOps grow like cherries,
And taffys thick as peas;
Caramels you pick like berries
When and where and how you please;
Big red sugar plums are clinging
10 the cliffs beside that sea
Where the Dinkey Bird is singing
In the amfalula treel
So when children shout and scamper
And make merry all the day,
When there's naught to put a damper
On the ardor of their play:
When l hear their laughter ringing,
Then I'm sure as sure can be
That the Dinkey Bird is singing
In the amfalula tree.
For the Dinkey Birds bravuras
And staccatos are so sweet,
His rOulades, appoggiaturas
And robustOs so complete,
That the youth of every nation,
Be they near or far away,
Have especial dedication
In that gladstone roundelay-
Their eyes grow bright and brighter,
Their lungs begin to crow,
Their hearts get light and lighter
And their cheeks are all aglow,
For an echo cometh bringing
The news to all and me
That the Dinkey Bird is singing
In the amfalula tree
Yes. I'm sure you'd like to go there
To behold your feathered friend;
And so many goodies grow there
You would like to comprehend!
Speed, little dreams your winging
To that land across the sea
Where the Dinkey Bird is singing
In the amfalula tree!
