A lady entered one Of the prominent
drug stores Of Munich, Bavaria, the other
day, desiring cure for n cold. The
clerk, u man Of long experience, reached
into one OF the chests for IA 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 his horror, found it filled with 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 ont who ran about
the city proclaiming the incident and tell
ing all who had purchased the popular
remedy TO proceed to the station 10 have
it examined. Red placards We're placed
upon the bill boards. Extras were
thrown about the city with sensational
hcadngs-"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 oyercrowded with people and
invalds of all kinds who had come to
have their medicines examined. There
was moaning and Guashiny OF teeth, and
hystcrical women declaring, despite ruddy
checks, that they were at the point Of
death; others ready TO take farewell 10
their dear ones; in all, scene like a mild
pandemonium, frightening the poor police
men out of their senses But though the
firm paid over 600 marks in advertising
the investigation proved unavailing. The
unfortunate woman did not appear

Like prize fighting in England, Indian
astrology has lately achieved n 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 u
moribund condition, and was rclegated to
Jupiter and Saturn by the more enlight-
encd natives. Now, however, they have
taken up the ancient imposture rs quite n
new thing, and their papers teen with
yarns relating the exact fultilment of
astrological prophecies.
There are, nevertheless, a few skeptics
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 Il suggestion which we hope to
see acted upon. 1t is that two distin-
guished astrOlogcrs should be appointed
to name the dates on which the 600 dele
gates to the Madras congress will shuttle
of their mortal coils the whole prophecy
10 be at once published and kept in hand
for reference. That would certainly settle
the question one way or the other, past all
controversy. But we doubt whether
distinguished astrologers" will take up
the challenge Their wisdom generally
comes out after the event; il 10y some
lucky chance prediction is verified, there
is no end to their boasting, but should the
contrary happen they very prudently kee,

Several years ago man was run over
by the cars here and had to have one of
his legs amputated Just below the thigh.
The amputated leg was buried in the
back yard, and, after he had recovered
from the anTsthetic given him, he COM
planned that his leg panied him, as it felt
ms though lying on its side, tocing in. He
kept complaining for several hours, till
some Of the family, without the knowl-
edge Of the injured man, disinterred the
limb aud found il as he had said. They
then turned it up so that it lay little In.
clncd in the other direction, or slightly
tocing out. Immediately he exclaimed:
"That feels so much BETTER His wife
was in his room ut the time, and, not
knowing what had been done, asked him
what it was that felt better, and he re-
Piled "Somc one has changed my leg TO
a comfortable position"
Another instance was where boy
about IL years old had shot himself
through the right arm so badly that it
was taken off at the shoulder. When he
recovered his senses after the operation
he complained that three Of his fingers
were bent over rs If clasping n small egg
tightly, and that they had gone to sleep
in that position and were annoying him.
An examination revealed the fact that
when the arm was buried the three fingers
referred to had become bent under the
hand, and, upon their being Strengthened
out, the boy Immediately noticed 1t md
remarked upon IL. In both instances the
patients were unaware of the fact that
their requests were being complied with

The German Piano Trade.

Some interesting particulars respecting
the German piano industry are given in
kuhlow's German Trade Review. Ger.
man instruments TO the value Of 1S,O00,-
600 marks are yearly exported, the total
production being valued at from 81 OOO,-
600 to 3G, 600 900 marks, n sum which rep
rcscnts the price of about 10000 to i2,OO0
pianos, etc. Thus, only onchalf Of Ger
manys manufacture remains in the
country. Even that, however, Is n large
amount, and does credit TO the musical
taste and education of the German people.
Although complaints are being generally
made that the piano trade has now reached
is climax, and that even decline is Visi-
BILE, yet, according TO the assurances Of
various Berlin manufacturers the in
dustry in Berlin has hardly suffered ut
all from the unfaVOrablc influences, and
the work people are all busily employed.
The construction of grand pianos Salon
ilugcD has lately increased, the demand
for this kind being greater than formerly.
In Berlin there are about 200 Opiano manu-
factories. OF these some turn out more
than 900 Instrumental grand and cottage
pianos) yearly, and employ from 300 to
400 operatives regularly. The work in
itself is very difficult. A number of fac
tors must combine in order to produce any
thing perfect Great accuracy and care
are indispensable qualities. The insertion
of the sounding boards, the relation Of
the piano to the strings, the final touches,
require vast technical knowledge New

"'s masters. He says:
/ remember a short conversation which
took place between the pilot and the cap
tain OF ship i once sailed TO Liverpool
in, which illustrates the duties of a pilot
better than anything l know OF. The
pilot boarded our ship in ST. Georges
channel, and was n short, stumpy man
wrapped up in the short beaver coat
which is generally worn by English pilots.
After he was taken on board the captain
called the chief mate aft and gave him an
order. The pilot, who was walking the
poop deck, turned short, gave the captain
whitening look and said: II am in charge
of this vessel, sirn
every well, SIR" said the captain, and
the order was countermanded. When n
pilot boards vessel the captains respon-
sibility ceases. He is virtually noting

captains duty is to bring his vessel from

his duty ends. i well remember an in
stance which illustrates how good sailor

SO that the vessel. In order to get through
the channel, would have TO make several
short tacks. The channel was so narrow
and the wind so light that the captain
considered it would be impossible to get
the ship under headway enough to tack.
Then there was the danger OF running
aground The captains wife was very
SICK and 1t was expected that she would
die Mt any minute. II was almost case
of life or death. for If the ship could get

sumes his every day gar5 and puts away
his town clothes as unconcernedly ms II 1t
were matter of course. There Is ira
tlition among pilots that one man, In years
gone by shaved and dressed himself seven
teen times before he succeeded in catching
a vessel. This would be exasperating IL it
did not relieve the monotony. Steamers
are considered the best vessels 10 board,
because they draw more water than sail
ing vessels, and also because they move
faster and with more certainty than
sailing vessel, which is subject to the
wind, unless n tug is called into use. The
weather around New York harbor Is rs
stormy Mt certain seasons as in any part OF
the world, and 1t follows that pilot boat
must be stanch and seaworthy vessel.
They are also very fast, and IL takes
good yacht TO overhaul them In almost any
sort OF breeze.
One of the most dangerous parts OF q
pilots life Is boarding vessel Each
-.ppi,ot boat has two yawls, which are lashed
10 the deck bottom up. They are launched
by means of tackle fastened to the mast
head. The pilot boat is such small craft
that i'm n heavy sea she lurches and rolls
friphtfuly, and when the yawl is launched
in heavy weather her crew, which
usually consists Of two men beside
the pilot, must act very quick in
getting into the boat. When the
steamer is reached another difficult
task lies before the pilot. The long swells
rush along the side OF the vessel with
ceaseless rapidity. Sometimes the little
cocklcshcll OF n boat is lifted up and
brought almost in reach OF the steamers
deck, then down she goes into the
trough Of the sea almost out OF sight.
To- ,u thrptyn the side and
the pilot has 10 watch his chance and
lump for IL. In calm weather another
difficulty is encountered A pilot boat
may be several miles away from sailing
vessel in calm. In this case the only
way TO reach the vessel is by the yawl
This Is often very dangerous and haz-
ardous undertaking. In one instance,
which occurred several years ago, n bark
was sighted from n pilot boat. She was
about eight miles away. There was n
dead calm, md it looked ms though 1t
would continue. The pilot whose turn 1t
was TO board determined to take his
chances lie started of in the yawl, with
no food or water, to row TO the bark.
When within two or three miles Of the
vessel n breeze sprang up and the bark
sailed away. The pilots on the boat sup
posed the yawl had been picked up by the
bark and it and its inmates were
| left TO tho mercy OF wind and
tide. The breeze freshencd, and night
came on. The yawl was put before the
wind and finally landed on the New Jcr'
sey coast with the loss OF one man.
/ A,cruise in n pilot boat in the summer
time Is very pleasant, especially If the
pilots are congenial and this IL almost
always the case. 1t X but one remove
from yacht cruise. But imagine the life
OF pilot in the winter. Think Of the ter
riblc suiferngs Of the New York pilots
during the recent bad weather, and thos'
OF us who are able to sit at home and snul
the fire will be thankful that our lot /:
