It would be curious to know what
mystic meaning our forefathers attached
to the simple act of combing the hair
We learn from old church history that
the hair Of the priest or bishop was
combed several times during services by
one Of the inferior clergy. The comb is
mentioned as one of the essentials for use
during high mass when sung by a
bishop; mass combs of precious metals
are reckoned among the costly possess
sions of most European cathedrals. Be-
sides those made of gold and silver, the
poorer churches have them of ivory,
while in some the more common kinds
are used.
Among those especially known to his
tory are those of st. Neot, st. Dunstan
and Malachias. That belonging to st.
Thomas, the martyr of Canterbury, is
still kept in the church of st. Sepulcher,
Thetford; that of st. Cuthbert, ''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 generation which early Christian
teachers deemed prudent to adopt, in
vesting it with some new Significance

DO FISHES FEEL PAIN.
A Fisherman Believes That They Are No
Ga,ofbIa - F1afu

A Fisherman Believes That They Are Not
Sensible to Pain.
A writer in Forest and Stream says: /
have read many articles ON tho subject
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 years.
have studied the matter very carefully
and have made up my mind from vari-
Gus 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 con-
illusions ON this subject.
Last October, while fishing for pickerel
on Lake Cary, Wyoming county, Pa, in
company with companion, among other
fish that we caught was a pickerel that
would weigh nearly, if not quite, three
pounds Ny friend pulled it up, and as
it came on to the top l saw about twelve
feet of very coarse brown line hanging
to it. Upon inspecting it more closely
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 in
jury. 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 injury 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: / Twas fishing with a skipping bait"
most Of your readers know what this is:
piece of pork rind or pickerel belly
and had with me a friend who, though
he could handle a brigade under aheavy
fire, was not up to the trick of catching
fish that way. ] was having fairly good
sport, but 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
nome, DuU lolu MIN III JOKE II ne WOULD
wait five or ten minutes would catch
that fish and get back his hook. So we
sat down and had short smoke. Isoon
commenced to cast my hook near where
he lost his fish. / had strike, and to
our mutual surprise out came the gen
erals fish, with his hook well fastened in
its mouth. Now, don't think the fish
would have taken fine half So soon aoain
had it been in any pain from the hook.

The Value of SINCERITY.

Though man must be sincere in or
der to be great, he need not be great in
order to be sincere. Whatever may be
the size Of our brain. the strength Of our
powers, the talents of any kind with
which we are gifted, sincerity of heart,
or of belief, or Of life, is possible to us
all. 1t is of itself kind of greatness
which, in spite of many other draw
backs, will make itself felt. The hon
est, upright man, who lives openly, fear
lessly and truly, protesting only what he
feels, unfolding only what he believes
in, pretending nothing, Disgusting moth
ing, deceiving no one, claims uncon-
sciously a respect and honor that we can
not give to any degree Of power or abil-
ity welded with duplicity or cunning.
If we could correctly divide the world
into the sincere and the insincere, we
should have much truer estimate of
real worth than we GENERALLY obtain

OUR ELECTRICAL GUARDIANS.

Evidence is abundant to prove the
efficiency of the Bureau of Electricity, and
the citizens of Pittsburg have good reason
to be grateful to Mr.. Morris Mead to whose
efforts this satisfactory condition Of an i'm
portant part of the Department Of Public
Safety is due. Yesterday Superintendent
Mead presented his annual report to Chief
Brown, and it makes interesting and graft
flying reading for taxpayers. In both the
police and fire branches of the electrical ser
wee great Improvements have been made
during 1889, and more are designed with
the proviso that adequate appropriations are
voted for the electrical bureau. The good
results of the electrical aids to the Police
and Fire Departments do not require cspi-
tulation; they are patent to every one who
lives in the city.
A particularly vital point is treated by
Mr.. Mead in supplementary report. BE
exhibits the number of wires owned by the
city and strung overhead in tn downtown
district bounded by Grant street and the
rivers, and recommends their burial for the
reasons often stated before. The necessity
of doubling the number of wires used by
the city, which Mr.. Mead regards as immi-
nent, is new and urgent reason for putting
them underground. The city'E example in
this matter. moreover, is likely to cOnduce
toward the burial of all wires.

nF INTEREST TO WALKERS.

The alien contract labor law has been
invoked to prevent Strauss and his cele-
brated orchestra from landing on our shores
this summer. 1t is not the first time that
an attempt has been made TO pervert the
purpose of this act. Ridiculous as it is
the effort to exclude the great waltz COM
poser and conductor with the musicians who
have won such fame under his baton, there
seems to be just chance that it will be sue
cessiul.
The case was referred to the Treasury De-
partment, and Acting Secretary Bachelor
has instructed Collector Erhardt to permit
the Strauss Orchestra to land under the fol-
loving conditions: "YOu are advised that,
as the accepted definition of the word
artist includes musicians who combine
science and taste In the manual execution
of their art, such members of Strauss Or
chestra may be admitted as artists under
the proviso to said section 3, as by their
skill, tone and accomplishments as musi-
clans, evidently come within that definition.
Whether each member of the Strauss Or
chestra comes up to the standard, is Ques-
tion of fact to be decided upon by the best eu-
tdence obtdtnGble.'
The words in italics may be sufficient to
keep Strauss Orchestra away from these
shores, for if they mean anything. it is that
Collector Erhardt must make an examina-
tion Of every member Of the orchestra as to
his musical abilities and skill before he per-
mits him to land. Such an insult would be

That's What Anti. .Quay People See In the

That's What Anti. Quay People See In the
Harrisburg Election.
Harrisburg Correspondence Philadelphia Record.
The election of a Democratic Mayor in this
city was brought about by Republicans. Har-
risburg is a Republican city, and Mayor
Fritchey was elected three years ago only be-
cause he was then an ardent Knight of Labor,
and at that time the Knights of Labor were in
the height Of their power. The labor vote
now amounts to nothing in this section, and
Mayor Fritchey was reelected by a majority
slightly less than his former one. The result Is
blamed on Chairman John Weiss, of the Re-
publican County Committee, whose inactivity
was remarked, and through his instrumentality
the Republican paper of the city-Whose pro-
prietor is Quay man, and a candidate for the
postofice-was held in subjection, and took
little or no part in the campaign. 1t is charged
here that behind this defeat OF the Republican
ticket in Senator Cameron's own city there is a
deliberate purpose, and the anti-Quay people
declare that it is q Quay scheme aimed at
Cameron himself. Their theory is of course,
biased. and is not accepted by everybody The
following interview with one of them shows
what the motive is, and is interesting:
with any sort of management on the part of
the Republican Committee. Grant Wilson, the
Republican, could have been elected, for there
is general dissatisfaction even among mem.

This is no doubt one Of Quay,s schemes for
gratifying his personal ambition, and one which
will bring Mr.. Cameron down on his knees at
the feet Of the junior Senator. Don Comeron
is not man OF aspiring ambitions. He is not
fond of official duties. but he enjoys the defer
ence and courtesies shown United States SEN
stor, and for this reason he is desirous Of being
returned to Washington, where he may con.
tinue his membership with his Senatorial
friends.
''NoW that his own city has gone Democratic
Mr.. Cameron can look for little unless he bows
subsequently to the rule of Quay. If he does,
that he can go back to Washington. If he does
not he can stay at home. This IS what Quay
wants and what he has worked for He wants
to compel Cameron to Keep Magee quiet in the
Gubernatorial campaign, and this is one of his
methods of doing it"
This view of the situation is matter of COM
mon gossip here, but it Is denounced by many
friends of Cameron and by all of Quay's peo-
tween the two Senators, and that they fully un-
derstand each other.

intolerable to artists of the standing Of the
Vienese with Strauss. There is nothing in
the alien contract law, either in word or
spirit, to authorize this ruling of Secretary
Bachelor The law expressly exempts
from its provisions professional actors, art
lists, lecturers and singers" The Strauss
Orchestra certainly comes under the head of
artists 1t is necessary for musician to be
an artist in the sense authorized by the
Century Dictionary, namely, "a person of
especial skill or ability in any field, but es-
pecially in the liberal arts" before he can
be admitted into an organization of the high
standing of Strauss Orchestra. Some petty
band of music murderers in New York is
responsible for the opposition to Strauss, but
we are certain that no musical artist in this
country wishes the exclusion ofthe Austrian
orchestra. Pittsburg's artists and music
lovers, we are sure, will welcome Strauss
among them.
