History and Mystery Of the Comb.

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
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, "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 some new significance

For IngrOwinp Nails.

After soaking in hot water, the nails
should be thinned by scraping, and if
very painful daxseed poultice will
bring relief. After the irritation has
sufficiently subsidized, soft cotton should
be pressed between the flesh and the
nail, and after that is done it should
be saturated with tincture of iodine,
and the application repeated several
days, after which the tenderness will
disappear may be necessary to lift
the end of the nail, and this can be
done by pressing cotton between itand
the toe. This treatment is usually eff
fective, and is attended with as little
pain as any which can be suggested.

The Japanese Fire Box.

The hibachi is fire box, of which the
simplest form is that of square, or cir
cular, or oblong receptacle Of wood,
lined with sheet copper. Into this a
quantity of lime dust or sifted ashes is
put, and on the top of that a little pile of
lighted charcoal, which burns slowly
and steadily upon the fine ashes, giving
out heat, but not vestige of smoke.
This is the primitive and plainest form
of the fire box" such as will be seen in
use for common purposes at railway sta
tons, in Kuruma sheds, in wayside tea
houses and restaurants and in unpreten-
tious shops. But japanese skill and
taste love to lavish themselves on this
central piece of domestic furniture, and
you see hibachis, accordingly, of all
forms and materials. Some are made of
hammered copper, or brass, or iron, with
patterns delicately and beautifully beaten
out of the FURNISHED metal. Some Ihave
seen in great houses contrived from the
root of vast tree, the gnarled and knot,
ted timber being laboriously followed
out and lined with copper, and the ex.
terror carefully polished to bring forth
the beauty of the grain.-Cor. London

A Hole Through His Body.

Lieut.. Muncie, of the Sixty-frst
Georgia regiment" said Capt. Tip,
''was one of the most remarkable men
l ever knew. He was a slender, ca
daverous looking man, with apparent
ly no physical strength, yet he lived
through what would have killed a
dozen ordinary men, and is alive to-
day. In the early part of the war he
was shot through and through. The
bah struck the breast bone and shat
tered it, passed through his body
and came out within al inch
of his spine between two ribs.
After a desperate struggle for
life he recovered and joined his
regiment. AT the battle of Monaccasie
creek he was again wounded, the ball
entering between the corresponding
ribs on the other side of his spine and
issuing from the same hole that the.
first ball entered at. The second shot
must have taken the passage inside
Muncie's body that the first ball made
in going in the opposite direction. He
was in prison with me later and ap-l
peared to suffer no unusual pain. ri

had as often neglected to do SO.
When the letter was written it did
not please Banker Rosenthal, who is

the following:

Difference in Etinnette.

An American would never think

of doors man uncovers. In Hol-
land, too, men and women rarely pur-
chase at the same stores, but in cases
where they do, if woman discovers
that men are assembled inside she re-
treats until they leave. A live Amer
lean storekeeper would probably soon
change this feature of Dutch Ell
quette. The Americans, English, Ger.
mans and Russians shake hands with
man in bidding him welcome. An

California,s Fruit Pest.

California has a fruit pest in the
gray linnet far worse and more dam
aging to fruit raisers than tks English
sparrow. If some means are not sys-
tematically and methodically adopted
to exterminate this bird there will be
very little profit in fruit raising in
those sections where deciduous fruits
are exclusively produced. Some have
an aversion to destroying this or any
other bird, but then it takes millions
of dollars to sustain and support the
luxury. This bird is very fastidious;
it takes the best fruit; hence its sup
port comes from the otherwise profit
of the orchardist.-New York Tele-

Consumption at High Attitudes.

The distribution of phthisis in Swift
zerland has been reported upon in The
Lancet by DR.. L. Schrotter Facts
and figures stated do not give much
support to the common impression
that high attitudes are practically free
from consumption. Tables of deaths
for the years 1876-66 show that the
disease is endemic to every district Of
Switzerland, not one escaping it. 1t
is true that deaths from this cause are
fewer in the high regions than in those
that lie lower, yet the ratio is not by
any means inversely proportionate to
the altitude. 1t is remarked that con
sumption prevails wherever the popu
lation is largely industrial Agricul-
tural populations suffer less from it
than do industrial populations at the
same altitude.

DO FISHES FEEL PAIN.
A Fisherman Believes That They Are NJ
Sensible to Pain

= GANACAAAah A1tAltNeh AnAL InCV Are Not
Sensible to Pain.
A writer in Forest and Stream saws; 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.
| 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. |
viii cite two instances that show tonne
plainly that | 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 a companion, among other
hsh that we caught was pickerel that
would weigh nearly, if not quite, three
pounds. My friend pulled it up, and as
II 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 it
was bleeding quite freely and looked
very fresh, and if the fish could feel pain
1t 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: l was fishing with skipping bait"
most of your readers know what this is:
piece of pork rind or pickerel belly
and had with me friend who, though
he could handle brigade under heavy
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
home, but told him in joke if he 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. l had strike, and to
our mutual surprise out came the gen
erals fish, with his hook we'll fastened in
its mouth. Now, don't think the fish
would have taken the bait so soon again
had it been in any pain from the hook.
