QUEER CURES IN GERMANY.
SuperStitIOns Prevailing To-day The Dead
Mans Healing Touch.

Some one has been making an investi-
CATION as TO the survival Of medical super
~stitions in Germany and his discoveries
nave been reported in the Norddeutsche
ALlocmeihe ZnifuNg. All sorts Of outlandish
ideas and practices were found in active
prevalence in the marshlands Of the Weser,
north of Bremerhaven, and in the Lunebure
Heath, a barren region between the Elbe
and Aller.
In both OF these districts the touch OF a
corpse's hand is still regarded as curative
Of many local ills. In the Wesermarsch
the practice IL to steal secretly into the
room where the dead person is laid out and
with the dead hand stroke the afflicted part.
In the Lnneburg Heath the application ia
especially used as a cure for warts and for
cramps in the stomach.
Less grewsome Ia the remedy for hernia
stil applied in the marsh country. On the
night OF st, John the Baptist'S day, June "a.
the patient must be dragged through the
split of a cleft ash tree. Three men bearing
the first name OF o must perform the
operation, and it must be conducted in lead
silence.
Some OF the cures depend, on the con-
trary, upon verbal formulas. For hiccouRh
the sufferer must cross a little wooden foot
bridge over a stream-an easy matter in
the marshlands with their many drainage
bitches. As he crosses he must repeat the
nursery rhyme:
SnIk-op yn X Eungen ober dat steg
Snik -op fult herin un TX gung veg.
This bit Of dialectic German may be
translated:

FRENCH COUNTERFEIT COIN.
students UnJustly Rlamed In Parls-A
Thriving Industry in Spain.


Paris was deeply panied OF late by a
rumor which gained currency that a large
number Of students living in the Latin
Quarter had been arrested for circulating
counterfeit coins. There was general re-
lief when il became known that, although
a number Of arrests had been made in the
Quarter for counterfeiting and uttering
counterfeit money, not one genuine student
was among the accused. "A good many
belonged to a class described as demi-
students, men who perhaps went to Paris
with the intention OF taking courses, but
never did so, using the student name, how
ever, to cover up their irregularities OF
conduct.
The scare has had the effect Of drawing
general attention to the prevalence OF
spurious coin in Paris. The newspapers
rave made man. comments on the subject.
The 20 sou piece worth about 20 cents
is the favorite denomination for the ~coiners,
and its imitation is so Common that the
GduIois quotes as more h a witticism the
saying that there isn't a genuine 70 sou
piece in Paris.
In France, as everywhere else, it is much
easier to make false coin than to get IL into
circulation. The favorite place to work IL
of is said to be the tobacco shops, where a
box OF matches or a one cent cigar can be
bought with a great show Of hurry. and a
small coin Ia changed in haste without close
examination. Thu police say that they
always can tell a professional from a casual
layer down OF bad money from the fact
that the pockets Of the former are always
full OF boxes OF matches, cheap clgars n
miscellaneous trash.
The spurious pieces seem to die hard in
Paris when they once get launched. Nobody
wants to be at the loss OF retiring them
So Ill ---g
are used to pass them along. The story is
told Of a wideawake mar who detected
a bad coin in the change given him by a cab
driver at night. He promptly returned it.
The cab driver handed him another, bad
too.

In discussing the situation the French

Spanish, but French coins, which circulate
as freely as Spanish money. 1t is alleged
that the makers of the queer" usually stand
in with the Spanish police and are always
warned when a raid on them is contemplated.
The story is told OF a French Consul in a
Spanish city who, being notified by his
Government of the outrageous counterfeit
ing Of French coins in the city where he was
stationed, went direct to the Alcalde and
put the case up to him. The Alcalde was
willing to do anything
Then, Senor," said the F~renchman,
there is just one thing to do. Send for two
or three policemen, n without mentioning
who ia to be arrested let US go direct and

The Alcalde took it as a good joke and
did as the Consul suggested. The outraged
feelings OF the oounterfciters were almost
pathetic.

pheasants imported to this country.
"In 1904 the number was $50, 900, and
these were all for table use. Last year
an increase Of about 10 per cent. in this
number was reported. The pheasant is
a table luxury, and in England, France,
Germany and Belgium they are reared
by the thousands.
"In America breeding is but in it's infancy.

Their plumage is in good demand for
millinery purposes. Taxidermists pay as
high as 81 and $40 for the skins OF the best
marked birds.
There are varieties Of pheasants that are
purely ornamental. They appeal neither
10 the cook nor to the hunter.
-Pheasants cost most in the winter
months. About September the breeder
adds 10 per cent. to his price. This holds

TEXAS SHORT OF LABOR.
More Cotton PIckers N~eeded-Other Trades
Affected.

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 2O.-In some parts
Of the cotton grrwins region Of the State
the scarcity Of laborers is so great that
many cotton planters have despaired OF
getting all their cotton picked. Thousands
Of bales Of the staple product will remain
In the fields unpicked on account Of lack
Of hands to do the work. The effort to
procure Mexican laborers from the Rio
Grande border has proved futile, and the
planters have to accept such help as
they can obtain in their own localities. 80
The towns and cities OF the State have
been almost ~dspopulated Of their negroes.
They have focked 20 the cotton patch
where one family is able to make wages
aggregating IS to SIS a day. Household
servants by scores have quit their places
in town and gone into the country TO pick
cotton.
The inducements offered by planters TO
cotton pickers ave caused many laborers
on railroads to take to picking cotton.
This Is particularly true OF section men.
Every railroad in Texas II running short
handed OF section men.
On some Of the railroads the work of
keeping the physical condition OF track
and roadbed up to the standard IL seriously
hampered. Where formerly eight or ten
men in one gang we're employed on a SEQ
ton now only two or three are employed.
The railroads have raised the wages OF sec
ton men from Sl.l5 a day to S1.SO, but this
Ia 40 much less than can be made at cotton
picking that the raise has been OF little
use 30 far a. inducing men to seek en-
ployment on sections is concerned.
