The HoogMj Pilots.
Pilots for the Ilooghlj do not crui
much to pick up vessels; they hare a
regular station near a lightship, and it
it is thick weather it is nice work to fall
in with thein just right. Their vessels
hare always been full rigged brigs
manned by'heavy Lascar crews, and are
about the last thing afloat to tell of the
days of the. old East India Company.
Their signal is a white flag with a red
cross, and they are supposed to brave
all sorts of weather, maneuver through
a cyclone if necessary. Soon we had
the Eastern lightship in sight, and in
an hour's time (nine a. m.) were close
to the brte. She hove to, launched a
heavy surf or lifeboat in fine style, and
in it sat eight Bengal sailors with their
oars a peak, waiting the movements of
the pilot In the meantime we had our
mainsails brailed up and ran slowly
down by the brig. The turbaned Las
cars looted strangely through their rig
ging and over their high Dulwarks at
us, and the brass-bottoned pilots and
officers took a searching look at the
Conception as she forged slowly ahead.
'We hauld sharp around under her lee,
laid the main and cross jack yards to
the mast and there waited with all
hands at the braces ready to fill away
as soon as the pilot came. He was now
in the boat with several others in the
stern sheets coming for us. They had
so much luggage that the chief officer
sang out from the forecastle deck: 44I
guess they are coming to stay." It
was a pretty sight. The noble ship,
the brig, bowing and courtesving to us,
her bright red, pure copper flashing in
the Bengal sun, the boat shooting by
our stern, the oars of eight trained oars
men keeping perfect time. My heart
took a great leap of joy but I gulped it
down and hastened to the gangway to
meet my long wished for and welcome
visitors. "Stand by your braces, now,
men," I said, as the boat
touched the side. A fine, intelli
gent, bronzed faced veteran sailor
stepped over the rail with you are the
Captain; I suppose?" "Yes, and you are
the pilot, I presume?" I am," he said,
rather showing the badge of his office,
the royal crown and anchor. 'And you
are welcome to the llooghly,' sir."
'Welcome on board the Conception;
bit name is ." "And mine, sir, is
Eiison." A nautical glance aloft re
vealed the Stars and Stripes, so' rarely
seen now, and he said, "American, 1
see. A fine ship, sir. We can always
tell them. How much water do you
draw? Twenty-two feet, did you say?
That is, in salt water, you will draw
twenty-two six in the river; fresh water,
you know, makes a difference." The
eager sailors were at the braces listen
ing, waiting for their orders. "Yes, you
may fill away, but we shan't get farther
than Saugor to-night. Put your wheel
up there and keep her for that buoy.
Let me introduce you to a brother pilot,
who wishes to get to town; he has a
ship there readv for sea." In the mean
time a cart-load of dunnago (baggage)
had been hauled up in charge of the
pilot's servant, a Mohammedan, who al
ways accompanies his master. He was
a strange looking customer to our sail
ors, who'had never been east of the
Cape. He had a dark visage, jet black
eves, hair and beard. He wore a small,
bick, sknll cap, a long, white, tight
wited tunic, had bare legs, with san-
dals on his feet. The pilot spoke to him
in Bengalees, and called him Abdul.
"This is my boy," he said to me, "who
will look after my luggage, and please
let him assist your steward in any way
he can be of any service." There was
a Bringing cot bed, a bag, a trunk or
box, for each pilot, and then there was
an assistant pilot, called a "leadsman,"
a young amateur English sailor, whose
duty it was to heave the lead and there
by gain a thorough knowledge of the
soundings, preparatory to taking up the
profession of a pilot. No common
6ailor is trusted with the lead going up
the Hooghly, but a man is sent into the
chains to help him (tho leadsman) haul
the line in, on account of the exhaust
ive heat. These young men are from
good families in England, sent out after
some years of practice in a training ship.
He must have ability and an irreproach
able character, or else he is not wanted.

The American Ilat.
The question of a man's right to wear
his hat in court or rather of the court's
right to make him remove it is in a
fair way to be tested. In a Justice
Court on Staten Island a few days since
a spectator was commanded by an offi
cer to remove his hat. He refused to
obey the order, alleging that he was
balti and 'that 'the preservation of his
health required him to wear his hat so
as to avoid draughts of air upon his un
protected scalp. He was arrested,
however, and fined for contempt; and
upon refusing to pay the fine lie was
committed to prison for five days. He
threatened to bring suit for damages
and try tho question of the Justice's
authority.
If he does, it will be an interesting
trial. Courts do universally insist on
uncovered heads, and alwaj's have in
this country, except in the earliest da's,
and in the case of Quakers, whose relig
ious scruples would not permit them to
remove their hats. But have they any
real right to insist? Have .they any
more right to compel a man to remove
his hat than to demand the removal of
his coat or his boots? The notion of
honor ' or dishonor, respect or disre
spect, in wearing or not wearing the hat
is purely artificial. It has no founda
tion in the principle of things. If it
had it would be a contejnpt of court for
ladies to appear with covered heads, as
they invariably do, even in the witness
box.
It would probably shock the judiciary
of the country almost off the benoh if it
were decided that the American citizen,
under the Declaration of Independence
and the "engis of liberty" whatever
that may bo has a right to wear his hat
when and where ho pleases. Detroit

-A fashionable young ladv at the
Grand Union, in Saratoga, gives the

"He's a daisy, he is. So nice and

keeps just as still when the maid uses it
with the powder. He barks to have his
hair oiled and combed, and takes a
shampoo with perfect delight. When
he goes to bed he lavs his head on the

A Heathea Certm&nj.
A hack, driven in that reckless man-!
ner which characterizes all China
town hackdriving, came hashing down
Jackson Street one afternoon last week
and paused before' the dingy pile of
brick and mortar, still known as the,
Globe Hotel, though it has long been
the abode of a large number of Chi
nese of all grades and classes of filth
and wretchedness. The occupant of the,
ouicie pusnea open tae hack door,
thrust forth a gorgeously enveloped
foot and leg, and in moment stood on
the sidewalk in all the glory of along
scarlet robe, green breeches, a gondola-shaped
hat, and a trie-tail of unnsriAl
length. He was tall for a Chinamen,
and rather slim, the long robe seeming
to add a foot or two to his stature. Two
similarly arrayed Celestials sprang
from the doorway of the building to
meet him and said something that
sounded to Anglo ears like "Soon
ahoy," almost in unison. This saluta
tion was responded to by "Bale o'
hay!" and the three marched up the
steps into the building, ttte last speaker
leading the way.
"It's some josh business," said the
policeman who was called on to ex
plain what these maneuvers meant.
But the explanation was not a. very
full one, and the reporter's curiosity
getting the better of him, he climbed up
the outer steps and followed the scarlet
robed Mongolians up two or three
flights of dirty stairs through the smoke
and stanch which permeated tho whole
interior. The trio paused before a
gorgeously decorated doorway leading,
into a room devoted to tne worsnip 01
Chinese deities a large room, in which
were several Chinamen, some standing
and others sitting on low benches. As
the three newcomers opened the door
some musicians seated in a corner of
the room sent forth a burst of melody
almost as sweet as that usually heard
in a boiler factory. The noise continued
until the scarlet-robed Celes.'als had
made the circuit of the room and paused
before a huge joss, where they stood,
solemnly for a moment and then pros
trated themselves before it, all the oth
er Chinamen falling on their knees with,
their heads bent to the floor. Then the.
music struck up again and the heathen
arose to their feet and began chattering
among themselves as on ordinary occa
sions. The reporter seized this pause
in the ceremonies to inquire what was,
being done, and it was explained by
one Chinaman who spoke English quite
plainly that the idol had only been set
up in the room that morning, and that
it was now being consecrated by the
priests. The reporter then stood back
at a respectful distance and witnessed,
the enactment of a strange scene, simi
lar to that which Wores has recently
been placing on canvas "The Conse
cration of a Joss."
A Chinese boy with a red pigtail now
brought a long-legged cock to the tall
priest, the one who had lately arrived
and who seemed to be master of cere
monies. The fowl was taken by the
priest, swung around in the air three
times by the legs before the paper and
tinsel god and handed back to the boy.
A small china vessel containing salt
was then brought to the priest, who,
standing between his two scarlet-robed
attendants, sprinkled a handful of the'
contents over the image and then
E laced the dish on tho pedestal between
is feet. Rows of punk sticks and wax
candles, arranged about the idol, were'
next lighted by the two assistants, and
then the boy brought a small earthen
basin of water, in which the priest
dipped his fingers and then flirted
them in the direction of the joss. The
bowing process was then repeated, the
unearthly music resounding through
the room so loudly that the reporter
was obliged to place his hands over his
ears to keep out the din.
Then came the most interesting por
tion of the ceremony. The boy with
the red pigtail brought a small pot of
vermilion and a brush. One of these
was handed to the right-hand assistant
and the other to the left. Both were
then presented to the priest who took
them, mumbling some words, which
could scarcely be heard on account of
the clanging and squeaking of the
musical instruments. The priest dipped
the brushes in the paint and held both
aloft. This was a signal for more
kneeling by those around and redoubled
energy on the part of the musicians.
He then applied the brush to the staring
black eyes of the image, leaving a little
round red spot on each. This per
fected the divinity of the joss. Before
this he had been only pasteboard and
paper; now he was omnipotent. His
eyes could read the future, and he was
capable of giving good fortune to his
worshipers and bad luck to those who
disregarded him and believed not in
his powers. The music ceased, the
ceremonies came to a close and the
heathen passed out of the joss-house,
down the stalre and into the street.
These ceremonies are of monthly oc
currence in all the joss-houses, the
paper gods bein taken out into the
street and burned, and new ones set up
in their stead. Van Francisco Chron
icle. Disease In Swine.
The very common disease in swine,
which produces weakness in the back
and paralysis of the hind limbs, may be
due to more than one cause. It : at
times caused by parasites in tho fat or
muscles of the loins; at other times by
worms in the kidnes. Disease of the
kidneys will also cause it, as will rheu
matism, or irritation of the muscular
fiber of the loins. But the most fre
quent cause is disease of the spine,
known as spinal meningitis, which con
sists of inflammation of the covering
membrane of the spinal cord, with effu
sion upon it, thus causing pressure upon
the nerve. Some of these causes are
hereditary and constitutional, and are
spread by breeding from diseased ani
mals. But almost all of them are
amenable to simple treatment, as the
use of cooling and alterative medicines,
and counter irritants applied to the
loins. Relief is frequently afforded by
giving the animal two to four ounces of
raw linseed oil, with half an ounce of
turpentine, fomenting the back with
hot water, and after drying it applying
spirits of turpentine or camphorated
spirits to the loins. The feeding should
be moderated, as overfeeding is some
times tho cause of it, and always in
creases the difficulty, even when it is
not the primary cause. Good dry shel
ter is also necessary, and such attention
to sanitary measures as will keep the
animal in good health. No animals
thus aflected should be used for breed
ing. N. T. Times.

Poison in Soda Water.
After making a study of the soda Wa
ter sold in drug and other stores in con
nection with a careful analysis of the
water and examination of the fountains
through which it is drawn, Dr. Ellas N.
Bartley, chemist of the Brooklyn Board
of Health, has made a report to Health
Commissioner Raymond of which the
following is a synopsis:
In the latter part of May I procured
samples from fountains in various parts
of the city, with the view of ascertain
ing whether, as ordinarily dispensed,
the "plain soda" was free from lead and
copper. As a result of that examination
I found that in some cases after the
water had stood for some time In the
faucets and pipes, both these metals
may be found to exist in the water first
drawn. The quantity found was not
large in any case, but enough to be con
sidered harmful when taken for consid
erable time. I next examined into the
construction of various fountains and
faucets used in this city, to get some in
formation as to the source of these met
als.
I was greatly aided in this part of the
investigation by a visit to a well-known
manufactory of soda-water apparatus in
New York City. I have found that in
certain forms of fountains the water
comes in direct contact with copper or
brass fittings, which may give rise to a
certain amount of carbonate of copper.
The lead, which I found in greater
quantity than copper in the carbonated
waters, is nrobablv derived from tin-
lined lead pipe, or from block tin pipes
containing lead, or from the solder used
to solder the joints.
The next matter looked into was the
source of supply of the water used. It
was found that some bottlers and those
engaged in supplying tho trade with
these cylinder fountains use Ridgwood
and Croton waters, after thorough niter
ing, while others use water from driven
wells. It is certainly not advisable to
perinit the use of well waters for this
purpose, although it mav be questioned
whether the strong solution of carbonic
acid under pressure may not act as an
antiseptic to kill any living putrefactive
or disease germs in the water. 1 his is
point still under experiment.
The subject is still under investigation
and will be made the subject of another
report. Commission Raymond has de
cided to issue an order making it com
pulsory for dispensers of soda water to

I have gradually been getting deaf from
the effects of cold and exposure. Uearing
of Drs Darrin, at 113 Stockton street, San
Francisco, and their wonderful success in
curing deafness and other chronic dis
eases, I concluded to put myself under
their care. The doctors told me they
thought two months' time would be re
quired to cure me, but I might be restored
sooner, as they could not always tell how
long it would take: that they were often
surprised themselves with the effect of the
magnetic treatment. I was cured in three
