1t 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 posses
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, 1.-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 com bination with pagan
emblems on rude,r sculptured stones il
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 some new significance

Joined Eau Claire lodge in its infancy.
In 1876 he was elected prelate of the
grand lodge of Wisconsin, grand chan

1880, supreme master of arms in 1882.
In 1887 he was a delegate to the supreme
lodge at Cincinnati, when he was elected
supreme vice chancellor, and now in a
very short time he will be at the very
top notch of any Pythian's ambition.
The official programme for the great
July meeting has just been made public.
The uniformed rank will encamp at Cold
Spring park. The supreme lodge will
meet in the West Side Turner hall, and
all of the great gatherings will be held
in the Exposition building There will
also be a separate encampment for the
wives of members. John A. Hursey, of
Milwaukee, is the head of the endow-
ment rank. He is railroaler and poll

THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
The Supreme Lodge to Meet at Milwau-
kee In LulY.


The sixteenth session of the supreme
lodge of the Knights of Pythias of the
world will lie held in Milwaukee this
year, beginning Monday, July Z, and
lasting one week. 1t will also be the
regular biennial conclave. ana knights
and their ladies from all parts of the
United States will be present. The last
conclave was held in Cincinnati two
years ago, and over 100000 people at
tended From indications it is probable
that even a larger number will be at tho
meeting in Milwaukee this year. Active
preparations for the event have been
under way for the past six months.
A general executive committee of
score or more of leading citizens are CO.
operating with the members of the or
der and bountiful entertainment is as
sured. Besides the money raised by the
lodges, citizens have donated purse of
$4,000. July is one of the pleasantest
seasons of the year in Milwaukee. The
summer heat is tempered by the breezes
from Lake Michigan, the nights are al
ways cool, bright, clear weather is the
rule, foliage and flowers are in their
prime, and the beautiful blonde city of
the lakes will be at its very best-both
in weather and looks.
The order of the Knights of Pythias
is scarcely more than twenty-six years
old, and yet its membership amounts to
over 100000. The first meeting was
held on Jan. 10, 1864, in R. A. Cham
pion's rooms, F street, near the corner
of Ninth. in Washington city. 1t was a
meeting of some six members of The
Arion Glee club, and the gentlemen
present were j. H. Rathbone, w. II.
Burnett, E. S. Kimball, D. L. Burnett
and r. A. Champion. At previous
gathering Mr.. Rathbone had stated that
he had the ritual of secret society
which he had written while teaching
school some time previously in small

DO FISHES FEEL PAIN.
A Fishcrma an Believes That They Are Not
Sensible to Pain.

A Fishcrm an Believes That They Are Not
Sensible to Pain.
A writer in Forest and Stream says: I
have read many articles ON the 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. fish great deal
in the summer months for trout, bass
and pickerel and have done so for years.
l 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. /
will cite two instances that show to me
plainly that l must be right ID 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 pickerel that
would weigh nearly. if not quite, three
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 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 il
was bleeding quite freely and looked
very fresh, and if the fish could feel pair
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 wa,
cold and windy, and that pickerel mus
have received his injury from them ant
have come nearly across the lake to us
dragging that piece of heavy line will
him.
The other instance occurred in thi
way: was fishing with a skipping bait
most of your readers know what this is
piece of pork rind or IA pickerel belly
and had with me friend who, though
he could handle brigade under a heav,
fire, was not up to the trick of catchin,
fish that way. was having fairly goot
sport, but he got impatient, and finally
when he had good strike, he jerked S
hard as to break his line, and away wen
the fish, and he at once proposed to &
home, but told him in joke if he woul
wait five or ten minutes l would cate
that fish and get back his hook. So w
sat down and had a short smoke. l 500
commenced to cast my hook near wher
he lost his fish. had strike, and
our mutual surprise out came the gel
erals fish, with his hook well fastened i
its mouth. Now, don't think the fs
would have taken the bait so soon agai
had it been in any pain from the hook.
