BeUevas That They Are Not
Sensible to Pain.
A writer in Foreet sad Stream says: t
bare read many articles on the subject
of whether flat, , when caught on the
hook, feel an/ pain or whether their
struggles were tnerely the result of find'
lug themselTes fast I fish a great deal
in the summer months for trout, boat
and pickerel and have done so for yean.
I hare studied the matter very carefully
and hare made np my mind from vari-
ons incidents that hare come under my
observation that fish are not sensitive to
pain as ere warm blooded animals. I
will dto two instances that show to me
plalqjy that I must be right in my con
clusions on this subject.
Last October, while fishing for pickerel
on Lake Cory, Wyoming county, Pa., in
company with a companion, among other
fish that we caught was a pickerel that
would weigh nearly, if not quite, three
pounds. My friend palled It np, and as
it came on to the top 1 saw about twelve
feet of a very coarse brown line hanging
to it Upon Inspecting it more closely 1
found that the fish had in its side a very
strong and coarse hook, to which the
piece of line was attached. The wound
must have been made a very short time
previous to our catching the fish, for it
was bleeding quite freely and looked
very fresh, and if the fish could feel pain
it would certainly have deterred it from
taking our book so soon after such on in
jury. There waa only one other party
fishing on the lake that day. ae It was
cold and windy, and that pickerel most
have received his injury from them and
have come nearly across the lake to ns,
dragging that piece of heavy line with
him.
The other instanoo occurred in this
way: I was fishing with a "skipping bait"
—moat of your readers know what this is:
a piece of pork rind or a pickerel belly—
and had with me a friend who, though
he could handle a brigade under a heavy
fire, waa not np to the trick of catching
fish that way. I waa having fairly good
sport, bat he got impatient, and finally,
when he had a good strike, he jerked so
hard as to break his line, and away went
the fish, and he at once proposed to go
home, bnt I told him in joke if he would
wait five or ten mlnntee 1 would catch
that fish and get back his hook. So we
eat down and had a short smoke. I soon
commenced to cast my hook near where
on Lee street, (near A rtesian well)' wheve 11 ^ni^t 0 c^ k &e“S£
cral’s fish, with his hook well fastened in
its month. Now, I don’t think the fish
would have taken the bait so soon again
had it been in any pain from the hook.

BUtorj and Hy»tery cl the Comb.
It would be cartons to know what
mystic meaning our forefathers attached
to the simple act of combing the hair.
We leam from old church history that ,
the hair of the priest or bishop wss * erad a high pries, for its collection,
combed several times during services by . Country people brought in such Urge
one of the inferior clergy. The comb is quantities of this dew that he was at first
XotDhpoMdtotav**.
wet somo queer people am
(be many who an constantly flitting into
and out of tlds store, bat an old man and
his wife, upon whom I waited a few days
ago, took the prixs for pure, unadulter
ated simplicity. The oouplo were sri-
dently on their lirst visit from the coun
try . When I approached them the old
lady, who was undoubted!j”itn eater of
ceremonies, stated that they wanted to
purchase a soup tureen.
"Do you want pUted ware or divert
I asked.
"Solid silver, ter bo sure, the womad
responded, With a glance that, had I been
anybody else than a salesman, would
hare frozea me.
After seeing a number of designs the
old lady decided upon one and inquired
the priee.
"One hundred and twenty dollars, I
answered, as I called to a boy to take the
article to the shipping room.
"Whotr she almost screamed. “One
hundred and twenty dolUrs for that?
Wail, I swan!" For a few mlnntee they
gazed at me, as if I had expressed an
intention of robbing them, after which
they conferred together. Presently the
old gentleman turned around, and in a
quivering voice said he guessed they'd
better buy a plated tureen, as that was
just os good.
Wo have several dozen designs in
plated ware in stock, and after critically
examining each one the old lady plucked
up courage enough to ask tho price of
one that had only recently been pro
duced, and was selling for $18. Whenl
mentioned tho price, she looked blankly
at her husband and said she guessed we
didn't have anything to suit them. As
they were going out of the store, I over
heard the remark, "What mighty dear
stores these in Few York are, ter be
sure. I wouldn't pay mor*n $t far a
soup tureen—no, not if it was the only
one in the country.”—Jewelers’ Weekly.

Bon. William Gould, of Windham, in
a letter to The Portland Press, gives an
account of Ransom, who in the first
years of the present century come to
Portland.and pretended to be able to
transmute metals. From lead found on
a small island near Freeport he obtained
silver. He bad his crucibles and other
apparatus In a shop on Exchange street
Several reputable citixens were deceived
and fleeced. It was finally proposed that
he bo watched, and a bole was bored
over his private room. It was found that
he rolled up a pistoreen, a coin worth
twenty cents, and inserted it in the end
of the waml with which ho stirred tho
molten contents of hia crucible.
It had been noticed as a curious fact
that the ingot he found in his crucible
wss invariably of the value of a fifth of
a dollar. One of the Ingredients on
which he relied was May dew, and he of.

mentioned as ono of the essentials for use
during a high mass when sang by a
bishop; mass combs of precious metals
are reckoned among the costly posses
sions of most European cathedrals. Be
sides those made of gold and silver, the
poorer churches have them of ivory,
while in soma the more common kinds
ore used.
Among those especially known to his
tory are those of SL Neot, St Dnnstan
and Malachias. That belonging to SL
Thomas, the martyr of Canterbury, is
still kept in the church of SL Sepulcher,
Thetford; that of SL Cuthbcrt, "the wo
man hater," at Durham cathedral. From
sundry references in old legends to the
use of the comb in divinations, and from
its appearance in combination with pagan
emblems on rudely sculptured stones in
various parts of Scotland, it seems prob
able that this was one of the objects of
pagan veneration which early Christian
teachers deemed prudent to adopt, in
vesting it with soma new significance.—

F. 8. Bean, a former Oxford dean, now
residing in Cadott, Wis., communicates
a strange tale of an old Oxford county
superstition to The Norway Advertiser.,
Bs says that when he waa a lad the peo
ple of bis neighborhood used to believe
that an old woman living there waa a
witch. She became provoked with a
neighbor beoause the latter refused to
sell her a cow, and thereafter no butter
could be made from that cow’s milk.
No matter how long they churned, tho
batter would not come. As the story
goes, a girl in the family had heard that a I
witch oould be burned and

ment, whereupon she declared that a
scream issued from the churn! The bat

The Value of Sincerity.
Though a man most ho sinoere in or-
der to be great, he heed not be great in
order to be sincere. Whatever may be
the size of our brain, tbe strength of our
powers, tho talents of any kind with
which we are gifted, sincerity of heart, . . -
or of belief, or of life, is possible tons the story, but my faith la somewhat
aA It Is of itself a kind of greatness *h«ken now," says Mr. Bean,
which, in spite of many other draw
backs, will make itself felt. The hon
est, upright man, who lives openly, fear
lessly and truly, professing only what be,
feels, upholding only what bs boUeves
in,, pretending nothbg^diagMsit oofi*
ing, deceiving no one, claims uncon-
soionalya respect and honor that we can
not give to any degreo of power or abil-

If we could correctly, divide the, world
