Although the examiners handle mil

cause of its great rarity. Michael Ma

THE MOMKFlSH.
This GIutton Has Many Names and an
Appalling Appetite.


Among the most curious of fishes Is
one known on the coast of Maine as
monkfish. by Massachusetts fishermen
as goOsefish, by Rhode Islanders as
the bellows fish, in Connecticut as the
molligut, in North Carolina as the all
mouth. On the other side of the At
lantic 1t Is called wide gut, kettle nav
and other names. Its adult length is
about four feet, its weight about forty
pounds.
The fish is a glutton. with no finely
discriminating palate. 1t IS said 10
bolt the wooden buoy of lobster pot
with an apparent satisfaction equal to
that with which it swallows a mack
erel.
DogtiSh, scuipenS, SQutdS, crabs and
Holsters are items in its ordinary diet
Its Massachusetts name is said to have
been given it because of its practice of
| swallowing geese. Seven wild ducks
| are said to have been taken from the
stomach of one of these fish, which
had pulled them down one by one from
| the surface of the water.
The fish habltually turks upon the
| bottom, though it is occasionally seer
near the surface. 1t is sluggish in it

and ready with its powerful jaws anG
well fitted by nature for it's mode OF
life. Its margins have long fringes

SERVlAN WEDDINGS.
The Bride Collects the Gifts, Which
Must Be In Money.

If you receive an invitation TO a we'd
you must not buy present and take it
with you or send il. That would be
bad form. and the bride would proba-
bly, feel insulted, but when you went
to the wedding you would take with
you the price OF the present in money.
At the wedding you would find sew
eral hundred men and women all max
ing strange motions and talking in a
strange, excited manner.
After the guests had assembled-and
everybody in the colony would he vel
comed-a young woman would pass
around the wedding cake. Behind her
would come the bride carrying silver
platter. and upon this she would collect
the money given as presents. At the
majority of weddings the platter is
piled high with silver dollars, and
| around the edges are bills of various
| denominations, from 50 to $40. 1t is
not uncommon for a bride TO receive
| ST. 900 in cash. This amount, 1t must
be remembered, is given by men who
are mostly laborers in the packing
| houses.
Sometimes the groom passes cigars
and every guest will take Il cigar ant
hand him dollar. Another custom i:
to place dollar in the large glass o.
whisky and every man take a drink
each drink costing dollar.

The Majors
Two Fast Players OF the p. o. NJ.
League Bought by Pittsburg and
New York Nationals.

Bin McKechnie. third baseman OF
the Washington P. o. NJ. club, has
joined the Pitsburg team and was in
the game yesterday at Brooklyn.
Catcher James, also of washington,
will join the New York Nationals at
the close o. the P. o. NJ. season on
September IA. The sales of these
players have Just been announced.
The amount paid for their releases
was not made public, but the figures
are large ones.
The Washington management was
loath to dispose of these men, but
as both were sure to be drafted it
was deemed wise to sell them and
thus realize more money.
McKechnie is one of the youngest
players in the league, and he is rat
ed as one of the best third basemen
in the organization. He is but 90
years of age, and has been in fast
company but two years. He played
Independent ball at Butler three
years ago and the past two years. he
has been with Washington. His
home is in Williamsburg and he IS ono,
of the most popular youngsters in
that town.
James captained the W. & J. foot
ball team last fall, which won the
college championship of Western
Pennsylvania. He is a hard bitter,
getting many drives for extra bases.
rHe is sold outright. while McKechnIe
will revert to the Washington club
should he not come up to expecta-
tions or need some more experience.
President Barney Rreyfuss is ont
on scouting expedition, said to be
on the P. o. NJ. circuit.
