The recent instance of q Dream taking the
hooks OF two anglers is one Of the endless
proofs that fishes cannot feel what we call
pain" the product of certain nervous influ-
ences upon the brain or sensorium. have
had several similar instances In my own ex-
perience, and generally, in manipulating
thousands Of many kinds of fish during my
angling. days, never could detect the slight
est evidence of their feeling pain even while
being cut open with knXe The only ap-
proach to such evidence was a slight con-
vulsive quivering (but not necessarily at
tended with pain on breaking the spinal
chord by pressing back the heads Of trout,
having been taught to do this from boy
hood, as when instantaneolsly so killed they
were believed to keep longer fresh Two years
ago trout was taken with the Fly in Cam
bridgeshire having four or five other fiv
hooks sticking in its gullet-a most sensitive
part in warm blooded animals.
Sir Charles Bell, tine great anatomist and
author OF famous book on 'The Hand

from pain is that in fishes the nerves of sem

Of motion and sensation run in pairs. Fishes
have the former only; but, of course, also
have those for such 'sensesn as they possess,
such as sight, etc, but these senses have nc

different thing. Thus the gentle art Of
angling is free from any reproaeh on the
score OF giving pain. D. Dougall.

Apropos of the recently rendered decis

hpIVpos VI bhe feCentiy Ieuueleu ueCls-
ion of the Iowa railroad commissioners
against the railroads, the Chicago Times
gives q note of warning to the Illinois
roads. Ii says:
The Illinois roads in their attempts to
secure better rates on traffic to places in
the state from interstate points are likely
to make the same error that the Iowa
roads did when they advanced all compe-
titive rates to the highest local tariffs
The arrangement made last Wednesday,
by which the average rate between Roch-
ester and Buffalo to Mississippi river
points is taken as the basis for making
schedules from Buffalo, Pittsburg and all
points west thereof to Illinois points,
puts up the rates between points in Iii,
nois to the maximum allowed by the com.
mlssi0ners tariff. whether it is on compe>
titive or local business. The object the
commissioners had in view was to have
those maximum rates applied on purely
local traffic and to have lower rates made
by the railroads On competitive business
If the new rates are put in effect such hue
and cry will be raised by the merchants
and manufacturers at competitive points
in Illinois that the commissioners will be
compelled to follow the example of the
Iowa commissioners and reduce the ratei
to lower figures than the railroads will b.
able to do business on, and il this il
done, the capacity of the railroads vii
alone be responsible for it. If the rail
roads would be content with such rate
as circumstances require they would no
have to suffer so much from unfsvorabl,
railroad legislation.

Paper-Journalistic Courtesy.
Journalism in VIENNA is quite different
affair from Journalism in either Berlin, Paris,
London or New York. Not only is the num-
Ter of newspapers published in the Austrian
capital much smaller, there being only eleven
dailies, but the manner of conducting them
is also different from that followed in the
other European centeIs. With the exception
Of these the VienneSe newspapers appear
twice a day-in the morning in time to catch
the mails, and at in the afternoon after
the closing of the Bourse Only one appears
three times day, adding to the issues already

the evening.
The comparatively small number of news
papers published in Vienna is doubtless owing
to the diversity of languages spoken through.
out the empire and which necessarily limits
the circulation of metropolitan journals to
those provinces In which German is spoken.
1t is also to be noted that no papers are al
lowed to be sold in the public streets, there
being no stands, and the police regulations
absolutely prohibiting the lin other cities

his trade. When, therefore, the worthy citi
zen of Vienna wishes to purchase paper ht
is compelled to wend his way to tobaccC

The Viennese newspapers, with the excep

cal party, never indulge in heated discus
sions Thoughtful articles, carefully studiet
and generally moderate in Tone foreign in

A celebrated gambler told me few years

business because of the confidence games
mixed up with it. Said be:
IN almost every community of this coun-
try where there is any money there will be
few men who like to play game of chance
like faro. These were more or less reliable
customers for gamblers because they some
times won and sometimes lost, and were al
ways kept on the string. But suddenly there
would appear in the town travelling gam
bier and his associates, who take room and
open q game, or perhaps play it in hotel
where he has got good quarters, and only the
regular players of the town become &C
quainted with the fact. Having played
straight game for enc evening, the next
morning the principal in the game or the
player whom he is supposed TO hire will ap-
proach the most solvent of the village play
ers and say: 4 would like to arrange with
you to deal you game II you will come up

in that outlawed way The player will have
his eye on the victim, and he will bet accord.

have lost more than ever before. He will
