The AnqIer Fish.

A singular superstition about the
angler fish is entertained in some parts
of Sweden (Bohuslan), according to
Malm and Smitt. ut is SO feared by
many that the tackle is cut as soon as
the monster reaches the surface, and
its captor hurries home in order to get
there, If possible, before the misfor-
tune portended by the monster over
takes him." The extreme of misfor-
tune-death-is believed by some to be
indicated. Nilsson tells that the Swed-
ish fishermen on the banks believe
that on board the vessel on which an
angler is taken some one is doomed to
die soon. They therefore never or
hardly va take the angler on board,
but prefer to cut the line and thus lose
the hook with the fish"
An anemometrical faculty is attrib-
uted 10 the angler In Massachusetts.
According to Storer, "among the fisher
men In some parts Of the bay there
is a common saying, When you take a
goosefish. look out for an easterly
storm"

The phrase "Dixie" or "Dixie's
Land" is supposed to be derived from
n Dizzy, a kind hearted slave owner
on Manhattan Island in the latter part
of the eighteenth century. His treat
ment of his negroes caused them to
regard his plantation c'Dixy's'O as lit

away from their old home they were

The pastor, Rev. Charles L. Dapp, is
spending the summer in Germany,

with bathroom prior to his return.
Special meetings were held by the
two congregations at Sumneytown

the charge. and determined opposition

among the older members. They and
their pastors had managed to get
along for generations without bath
rooms. they argued, and they saw no
reason for introducing such new
tangled notions.
Three creeks in the neighborhood,
it was intimated, afforded abundant
opportunity for bathing.

discovery in half.dug grave covered

trees and other debris, on the farm Of
DR.. Bowel, near Rolling Prairie, of
the badly decomposed body of we'll
dressed man about 40 years old, has
aroused the authorities to an effort to
discover the identity of the body and
whether the man was murdered.
Coroner Mack, after carefully exam
lining the body, declared the man had
been shot through the head. The
clothing, which was almost new, was
purchased in Grand Rapids, Mich.
The only thing found in the clothing
was a copy of Minneapolis farm
paper. The man wore a panama hat
and patent leather shoes. Identified

Chicago price increases with those

show that the law of compensation has

For instance, coal here is higher-a

ago. But if you have no coal, and
catch cold through lack of it, you can
buy quinine to cure your cold much
cheaper than you could in 1898.
On the other hand, coffee is cheaper
on the Chicago retail market than it
was decade ago, but the drugs most
il favor for curing indigestion, which
coffee sometimes causes, are costlier
than they were then.
Meat has gone up scandalously--in
fact so per cent. in three years. Oh,
