The Southern Climate.

makes the southern climate e%nervating is
a false one. So far as l am concerned it
certainly is false. 1 find an e%xhilaration
in this latitude which to me is a tempta-
ton to overwork rather than to the con-
contrary. Sooner or later all this Gulf

the Mediterranean coast is to France and

invalids but for all who prefer warm

II 22S patents covering 81, 1874 acres OF

Douglas speech that only 100 patents COW
ering 1000 acres had been issued in the
territory, which includes Evanston and
Buffalo land districts as well as the Chey-

Astro1oSx Challenged in India.

Like prize fighting in England, Indian
astrology has lately achieved sort OF
spurious renaissance, especially among
the educated classes. 1t was never quite
dead, of course, any more than palmistry
among ourselves, but it had fallen into a
moribund condition. and was relegated to
Jupiter and Saturn by the more enlight-
ened natives. Now, however, they have
taken up the ancient imposture as quite a
new thing. and their papers teen with
warns relating the exact fulnImens OF
astrological prophecies.
There are, nevertheless, few skepttcs
left in the land OF Ind, who obstinately
refuse to believe that the stars control the
careers of men, and from one of these
proceeds a suggestion which we hope tc
see acted upon. It is that two dlstIn-
guished astrologers should be appointed
to name the dates on which the GOO dele'
gates to the Madras congress will shuttle
of their mortal coils, the VIII lie prophecy
to be a, once published and kept in hand
for reference. That would certainly settle
the question one way or the other, past al
controversy. But we doubt whether
DISTINGUISHED astrologers" will take uI
the challenge. Their wisdom general
comes out after the event; If By some
lucky chance prediction is verified, there

contrary happen they very prudentiy keeI

that perhaps the fashionable fad among

OF the possession of extraordinary courage,

stomachs provided by nature, perhapn

A Foreign CIty's Sensation

drug stores of Munich. Bavaria, the other
day, desiring a cure for . cold The
clerk, a man Of long experience, reached
into one Of the chests for popular rem
edy which had been widely purchased
during the severe weather Of the past
month, and handed it to the woman, who
went on her way rejoicing. A few min
utes later he opened the chest again, and.
to mis- horror. found it fll with a poison
which had been placed there temporarily
owing to the lack Of labels. The police
were Immediately notified, but failed to
find the lady in question
Criers were then sent out who ran about
the city proclaiming the incident and tell
ing all who had purchased the popular
remedy 70 proceed TO the station 10 have
it examined Red placards were placed
upon the bill boards. Extras" were
thrown about the city with sensational
headings-''A Life Endangered, "A
Case of Poison" and the like, until the
whole town was excited, and the majority
of the inhabitants seemed hunting the
woman with the popular remedy" The
station was overcrowded with people and
invalids Of all kinds who had come to
have their medicines examined. There
was moaning and gnashinS of teeth, and
hysterical women declaring, despite rudy
cheeks, that they were at the point OF
death; others ready TO take farewell to
their dear ones; in all, scene like mild
pandemonium, frightening the poor police
men out Of their senses. But though the
firm paid over 1000 marks in advertising,
the investigation proved unavailing. The
unfortunate woman did not appear
