The Angler Fish.

A fishing smack had lately n strange
catch off the Eddystone lighthouse. 1t
was an enormous specimen of that rare
and curious sea monster the angler
fish. 1t measured 4 feet 3 inches long
and 3 feet inches broad. The ca
pacity of these fish for devouring
large quantities of food is something
marvellous, but the peculiar thing is
that they change the usual order of
things, for instead Of the bird catching
the fish. in this instance the fish
catches the bird and makes a meal Of
him. Guillemots, seaguls and ducks
have been discovered i'm the stomachs
OF these gluttons Of the deep.

Immediately begin 10 perish; their eX-
istence is cphemeral; they come and
go, are replenlshed and decay. They
are the dying parts OF that system of
life which may last a little while, but
which must eventually yield TO the In.
exorable law Of nature. The nails. the
hair, etc. are observable as an instance
Of this decay. The same rule applies
10 every other organ and tissue Of the
body, though IL is not palpable To the
naked eye. The skin is always peeling.

OLD TIMES IN TENNESSEE.
when PeIts Were "a. Plentiful ss
Pennies In the state.

Probably few people know that the
original name Of the state OF Tennes-
see was Franklin or that In 1883 the
salarles Of the officers OF this common
wealth were paid in pelts, but the fol-
lowing is correct copy OF the law:
"Be II enacted by the general assem-
bly, OF the state OF Franklin, and II Is
hereby enacted by authority OF the
same, that from and after the LIST day
or January. 1873. the salaries Of this
commonwealth be as follows--tO wit:
Ills excellency the governor, per an
mum, 100 dcersklns.
Ills honor the chief justice, 800
decrskins
"The secretary 10 his excellency the
governor, 800 raccoon skins.
County clerk, 300 beaver skins.
"Clerk Of the house Of commons, 200
YaccOOn skins
Justices fee for serving a warrant,
one minkskin."
At that time the state OF Franklin
extended 10 the east bank Of the Mis-
slsslppl river, and on the west bank
was that great unknown forest region
OF Louisiana. II was then terra In
cognita," save few canoe landings
and Indian trading posts on the river
banks. II was known as the district
OF Louisiana and In 1905 was made
the territory OF Louisiana.
The state Of Franklin, which be-
came Tennessee I'm 1896, was almost
az little known. The now great city
OF Memphis was mere trading post
and was not laid out as village until
1920.
Pelts were as plentiful in those days
as pennies and much better distributed
Tor purposes Of currency and barter.
