A Diplomatic CLERGYMAN,

A good minister was talking to class
of young people who had become inter-
ested in religious matters through the in
fuence of the Moody meetings. He was
impressing upon them the idea that a
man should carry his religion into his
business.
Don't keep your religion exclusively
for Sunday. Pray to him for success in
business. l believe it is a right for a
man to ask the Almighty to increase his
business and make it prosper"
But" said young man present. Il
am an undertaken. Would it be right for
me to ask the Lord to give me boom in
business?'
The minister was nonplussed for a mo-
ment. and the class evidently regarded
the question as poser. But the divine
finally arose to the emergency and re-
piled:
while l don't think it would be right
for you to ask the Lord to make deaths
plentiful in order that your business may
thrive, yet you could ask that in case of
any deaths in the community the funer-
ais might be thrown in your way. =

The people OF Varna, on the coast of
the Black sea, in Bulgaria, have singu-
lar custom which they observe al the
feast of the Epiphany, which occurs on
Jan. 6. The clergy, both Greeks ami
Bulgarians, accompanied by an immense
crowd, go to the seashore, carrying with
them a wooden cross. This cross is
thrown by the clergy into the sea, and
thereupon the strongest swimmers jump
in after it. The best swimmer gets it. of
course and brings it in triumph to shore.
The Varna people have still more
singular salt water custom on the same
day. After dark at night, all the
newly married men in the town are con-
Quoted, with bands of music and singing,
to the shore, and made to take three sue
cessive plunges into the icy water. They
are then conducted home, where theiI
brides, accompanied by their relatives
and friends, have been awaiting them in
state. After this there is feasting and
merry making.
These singular customs are believed to
be derived from pagan origin.-Youth's

The room was crowded. Prince William

amount of heat it creates cannot be felt

the hair grows DOWN to the bottom, turn
the current on let the needle stay less
than the fraction of a second and then
take it out. Tie heat and current to-

Physicians have been for years looking
for something that will quickly remove
traces of black eye. Put an oyster on
it, and tie raw beef on it, is the usual
advice, as common as it is useless.
When the blood once becomes extrava-
stated nothing can be done but to let
nature do the work, although bathing
with warm water will assist the process.
l have, however, found that when the
injury is fresh, and before the blood has
had chance to coagulate, that a strong
infusion of tea made of cayenne pepper,
and applied with a brush to the point
that threatens discoloration, will keep
the blood in circulation and prevent the
black eye from forming.-Physisian in

Iceber1s In the "Lane."

NEW YORK, APRIL 12-The photographic
office report received to-day states that large
quantities of ice off the Newfoundland coast
were rapidly drifting into the steamer
ro1tes. Capt. Dawson, of the steamer "Por-
tia," which arrived yesterday from Newfoud
land via Halifax, says that be was blocked in
the ice at Newfoundland with other vessels
for three weeks. Continuous strong east
winds packed the ice so close to shore that
from Signal Hill, atthe entrance to the harbor,
giving range of view of over sixty miles, no
open water could be seen, and during that
time the ice was so solid that he walked
over fonr miles to another vessel. His vessel
was set free by westerly breeze, and it pass
ed thirty icebergs in as many miles. The
Steamer "Austria" got wedged just as the
"Portia" cleared out. Her captain reported,
upon arrival in Boston yesterday, having
passed forty icebergs between St. John and
Cape Race.
