SAINT PETERSBURG. = Tout le

eide du jeune professeur de mede-
cine j. Koucharsky, qui s'est ac-

Fish Insensible to Pain.

have read many articles on the sub
lect of whether fish when caught on the
hook feel any pain or whether their
struggles were merely the result Of find
ing themselves fast. l fish great deal
in the summer months for trout, bass and
pickerel, and have done so for many
years, says writer in the Forest and
Stream. l have studied the matter very
carefully and have made up my mind
from various incidents that have come
under my observation that fish are not
sensitive to pain as are warm blooded
animals. I will cite two instances. that
show to me plainly that l must be right
in my conclusions on this subject:
Last October, while fishing for pick
erel on Lake Cary, Wyoming County,
Penn, in company with companion,
among other fish that we caught was a
pickerel that would weigh nearly, if not
QUITE, thirty-one pounds. My friend
pulled it up, and as it came on to the top
saw about twelve feet of very coarse
brown line hanging to it. Upon inspect
ing it more closely l found that the fish
had in its side very strong and coarse
hook, to which the piece of line was
attached. The wound must have been
made 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 deferred it from taking our hook so
soon after such an injury There was
only one other party fishing on the lake
that day, as it was cold and windy, and
that pickerel must have received his in-
Jury from them and have come nearly
across the lake to us, dragging that piece
of heavy line with him.
The other instance occurred in this
way 81 was fishing for pickerel with n
skipping bait'-a piece of pork rind or
piece OF pickerel-and had with me
friend who, though he could handle q
brigade under heavy fire, was not up to
the trick of catching fish that way. I
was having fairly good sport, but he got
and finally, when he had
good strike, he jerked SO hard as to
break his line, and away went the fish,
and d he 4. at t. once proposed to .gQ hQms1 but
ten minutes would catch that fish and
get back his hook. So we sat down and
had a short smoke. I soon commenced
to cast nv hook near where he lost his
6sh. had strike, and to our mutual
surprise out came the Generals fish with
his hook we'll fastened in its mouth.
Now, don't think the fish would have
taken the bait so soon had it been in any
pain from the hook. "

The Smallest Republic in Existence.

A gentleman who has just returned
from San Marine, which, it will be re-
membered, enjoys the distinction of be-
ing the smallest republic in the world
having population of only 5000 inhab-
itants-describes the ceremony of choos-
ing the tcapitani regent" or Presidents,
of which he was an eye witness. He
saws that the two Presidents still IN Of
fee donned their official costumes aud
drove to the principal church of San
Marine. They were accompanied by all
the officials of the republic as we'll as by
a big band of regimeutal music. tthe
church throne had been erected &C the
side of the altar, and on it the Presidents
took their places.
The clergy then chanted the "Venl
Creator" and slips of paper containing
the names of the sixty members of the
grand council were placed by priest in
a silver urn. From these slips a child
then selected two, which the priest read
aloud. A hymn was then sung, bells
were rung, and the simple ceremonial
was at an end. It is an open question
whether this wise little republic, with its
tranquil means of procedure and entire
reliance upon chance has not solved the
problem which has for centuries caused
agitation among the nations. CONNER
