The Hooghly Pilots. Pilots for the Hooghly do not cruise much to pick up vessels; they hare a regular station near a lightship, and if it is thick weather it is nice work to fall in with them just right. Their vessels have 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 en hour's time (nine a. m.) were close to the brig. She hove to, launched a heavy sun or lifeboat in fine style, and in it sat eight Bengal sailors with their oars a peas, 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 looked strangely through their rin ging and over their hignbulwarks at us, and the brass-bottoned pilots and officers took a searching look at the Conception as she forged slowlv ahead. We hauld sharp around under ner lee, laid the main and crossiack 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: "I guess they are coining to stay."

Boston Journal. The American Hat. The ouetlon of a man s right to wear s hat in court or rather of the court's hls right to mate mm 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 ofli cer to remove his hat. He refused to obev the order, alleging that he was bald 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 nned for contempt; and upon refusing to pay the fine he 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 interestins: trial. Courts do universally insist on uncovered heads, and always have m this country, except in the earliest days, and in the case of Quakers, whose relig ious scruples would not permit them to remove their hats. But nave they any real right to insistP Have they any more right to compel & his hat than to demand his coat or his boots P man to remove W aI the removal of ThA nntiAn nf honor or dishonor, respect or disre spect, in wearing or not wearing the hat is purely artihcial. it has no fouhda tion in the principle of things.

It would probably shock the judiciary of the country almost off the bench if it were decided that the American citizen. under the Declaration of Independence and the "aegis of liberty" whatever that may be has a right to wear his hat wnen ana wnere ne p leases. jjciron tree Press. , --A fashionable young lady st the Grand Union, in Saratoga, ffives the following account of her silver poodle: 'lie's a daisy, he is.

A man named Campbell, superin tending the construction of a mill at Blenheim, Ont., had a narrow ecape from death by a wheelbarrow falling from a third-story and striking him on the head. It seems a difficult thing to get in any position where the wheelbar row will not have the advantage of the man when the two come together. De troit Fr e Pre$$. A Heathen Ceremsy. A hack, driven in that reckless man ner which characterizes au China town hackdriving, came dashing 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 longr been the abode f a large number of Chi nese of all grades and classes of filth and wretchedness. The occupant of the. vehicle pushed open the hack door, thrust forth a gorgeously enveloped foot and leg, and in moment stood on the sidewalk in all the glory of a long scarlet robe, green breeches, a gondola-shaped hat, and a pig-tail of unusual length. He was tall Fc or a Uhinamen, i ancf 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, the last speaker leading the way. "it s some losh 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 stench which permeated the whole interior. The trio paused before a gorgeously decorated doorway leading Into a room devoted to the worship of. Chinese deities a large room, in which were several Uhinamen, 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 Jactory. 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, ihe reporter seized this pause 10 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 jt was now bemo consecrated bv the priests. The reporter then stood back at a respectful distance and witnessed the enactment of a strange scene, simi lar to tfcat which Wores has recently been placing on canvas "lne 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 oere- monies. The fowl was taken by the nriAat-.- nwiinor drnnnil in t.Via air t.hrftfl " - - - 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, sprinKieu a uanuiui ui lue contents over the image and then placed the dish on the pedestal between his feet. Rows of punk sticka 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 J' - 3 1 -1 it. Ai A J aippea nis nngers ana men nirteu 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. i 1 hen came the most interesting por tion of the ceremonv. The bov 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 mual iSstfument,. h. pH& diope d the brushes in the paint and held Doth aloft. This was a signal for more kneeling by those around and redoubled enersrv on the part of the musicians. H apDlieS the brush to the staring v,, f , 5 -ia . round red 6pot 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 baa luck to those who disregarded him and believed not in his powers. The musio ceased, the ceremonies came to a close and the heathen passed out of the joss-house, down the stairs and into the street. These ceremonies are of monthly oc currence in all , the joss-houses, the paper gods being taken out into the street and burned, and new ones set up m their stead. Fan Franciseo Chron icle.

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. Hartley, 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- incr whether, as ordmanlv dianensed. the "plain soda" was free from lead and copper. As a result of that examination L 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 n'f CfS'SS3 1 certain forms of fountains the water comes in uireci contact wim copper or Drass utuDgs, wmcn may give rise to a certain amount of carbonate of copper. Ihe lead, which I found in areater quantity than copper in the carbonated waters, is probably derived from tin lined lead pipe, or from block tin pipes containing lead, or from the solder used to solder the joints. Ihe next matter looked Into was the source of supply of the water used. It was found that some bottlers and those engaged in supplying the trade with these cylinder fountains use ludgwood and uroton waters, alter thorough nlter- iner. while others use water from driven wells. It is certainly not advisable to permit the use of well waters for this DurDOse. although it mav be Questioned whether the strong solution of carbonic acid under pressure may not act as an antiseptio to kill any living putrefactive or disease germs in the water. This is a 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 coni- milsorv for disoensers of soda water to use glass vessels for the storage of syr ups.

" When did you ! discover Uonnne s re markable talent t" was asked of Mrs. Kimball. i I can hardlv remember the time when her eyes would not sparkle at the sound of music; she began to sing before she could talk. Before she was four years old she created a sensation and received the prize of a gold chain and locket studded with diamonds, at the National baby show in Boston.
