The Icelandic Lutheran Church.

The Icelandic Lutheran Church of
America consists of twenty-five congre-
cations, and has Just held its fifth annual
conference at Argyle, in Manitoba. In
1880 the whole number of immigrants
from Denmark to the United States was
only little over Ga, 600, including Ice
landers; but since then the total has been
about doubled, and among the new set
tiers are many Icelanders also, though
their most numerous colony is in Manito-
ba. They have established a colony in
Dakota, one in Southern Minnesota, and
there is settlement at Green Bay. AL
though they number as yet only a few
thousands in both this country and Can
ada, with the prospect, however, of
considerable increase, though it can
never be great, since the population of
Iceland itself is barely $4,000. These
immigrants from Iceland come from
region where they have never seen a real
tree, road or a pillow, and yet it is re-
markable how soon they adapt them
selves to their new surroundings. They
are of much intelligence, and there are
no people among whom education is more
generally diffused, the humblest being
able to read and write, and being thor
oughly conversant with the sages, and
the history and laws of their county,
Neto York Sun.

AZ ALroeErHER CHRISTIAN.

There are several C. aracteristics which
distinguish him He has felt himself lost by
reason Of his sins Gods truth and the Holy
Spirit have shown him a sinful heart. Lost
he sees no hope in himself-on every hand
Of human help he is cut off Every false
refuge has failed Tim.
Under pungent conviction of sin, and re-
linquishing every other help, he flies to
Christ Jesus by faith. Christ is found to be
the only door into the narrow rath of life.
Faith lays its hand on Christ as the sinners
only savior. Repentance of sin and faith in
the Lord Jesus mark the altogether Chris
tan
Giving up all for the cross he is converted.
born again. Regeneration bears him through
the little wicket gate, of which Christ and
and after him Bunyan, speaks, as standing
at the mead of the narrow way Of a renewed
life
behold he prayethF'-ths altogether
Chris ian lives now a life of faith and pray
er The old man is put off and all things
be come new. HIS heart being changed his
life shows it to the world. The candle is set
upln the table
His heart and affections are set upon Di-
vine things and out of its abundance his
mouth speaketh. He loves God-Christ-the
Bible-Ciristians Being let go, he goes to
his own company''-is attracted to the broth
erhood of the faithful He rises TO new
works and new enjoyments.
The altogether Christian thirsts to confess
Christ before men. The language of his fun
warm heart is, Draw near, all We who fear
God, and | viii clare what he has done
for my SOUL He Will wish other. to share
with him in the surprising grlce Of God.
He will obey C.rist's commands, and walk
in the gospel ordinances Hi, inquiry will
be, Is it du " and when this is clear to II s
mind. he win 20 forward He VIII not tread
under foot a single command; he will not run
around an ordinance. He has given all to
Christ, and will not confer with flesh and
blood
An altogether Christian is a consecrated
disciple. For him TO live is gain to Christ
and the gospel. Some may 40 more, some
less: but whatever his circumstances, he
does something. An altogether Christian is

Tanned Alive.

c. Il. Black, well-dlessed young
man, was trying to secure subscriptions
to watch club in the Ell Dorado street
tannery. He approached one of the
workmen who was scraping the hair
from hides. The workman scraped away
vigorously, and hair and lime were scat
tered on every side Black lodged
about, so that his immaculate attire
should not be soiled. The workman
seized a hose and turned q stream of wa
ter on the hide to wash away the loose
hair. The water splashed in the direc-
ton of Black, who nimbly jumped back
to avoid it. He had failed to obey. that
old proverb: s'Look before you leap, :"
and he went souse into vat of tanning
liquor. His heels flew up from under
him and he sat down up to his neck in
the dark brown liquor, which splashed
all over his head and face.
As soon as the workmen could stop
laughing sufficiently to act they pulled
him out of his unpleasant bath, and he
stood dripping on the walk, looking like
some beer god just after a bath in the
liquor loved and protected by Gam
brinus. The hose which had originally
caused all the trouble was now brought
into play to repair damages. Black was
made the target for a stream until as
much as possible of the tanning liquor
had been washed from his garments, as
well as from his face and hands. He
was taken to his hotel and put to bed,
while his only suit of clothes was being
washed, dried and pressed.
Before all this could be accomplished,
however, his skin had been subjected to
the action of the strong tanning. and de-
spite the use OF every hu0wn means to
neutralize it, his skin Will for some time
be several shades darker than it was be-
fore his involuntary bath. He will have
the comfort, though, of knowing that it
will match well with a pair of yellow
shoes Stockton (Cdl.) IadepeHdent.

CLEANING GREASY BOTTLES.

The easiest manner of cleaning oily or
greasy bottles is to pour into them a lit
tie strong sulphuric acid, after they have
been allowed to drain as much as possible.
The bottle is then corked, and the acid
caused to flow into every portion of it for
about five minutes or so. It is then
washed with repeated rinsings of cold
water. All traces of oil or grease will be
removed in very expeditions manner,
and no odOr whatever will be thus in the
bottle after rinsing.

A Remarkable Dog.

Who-o-o, who-o-o, wbo-who in a way
which sounded very much like the regu-
lation whistle of the Consolidated road
locomotive and down to little station
on the Shore Line division hurried an old
gentleman. Anxiety and perspiration
was on every part of lis face, says a
Bridgeport Conn letter to the New
York Sun, for he fully expected to find
the train already putting and blowing at
the station. Well, he said, as he looked
in either direction and could see nothing
of the train. 81 believe it is that dog
again"
'eYou see," said the ancient fellow,
later, "this town has one of the most
wonderful dogs in the world. His owner
lives near the station. One day a gentle
man waiting at the depot for a train heard
what he supposed to be it approaching.
He listened, but no other sound came for
fully five minutes, when the train
came in sight. It happened that in
short time another train would be due
from the opposite direction. About five
minutes before the time of its arrival
across the lot toward the track trotted
large, handsome dog. When about in
the centre of the lot the dog stopped,
and, lifting its head high in the air,
preceded to announce the coming of a
train. Who-o-o-who-o-o, who-who, float
ed through the air an exact imitation Of
the whistle OF the locomotive of an ap-
preaching train. Dropping its head and
taking look all around the dog leisurely
walked to the doorstep and went to
sleep. For more than a year the dog has
kept that up with unfailing regularity,
exactly initiating the peculiar whistle of
many engineers on the road. He has
learned the tune of every regular train
and about five minutes before each one is
due, you can see him in the same position
going through the same action. whistle,
as he is called, has fooled great many
people,"

Tomato mustard is one of the very

print. 1t calls for one peck of green to-
matoes sliced very thin and thickly
sprinkled with salt. Let them stand all
night. In the morning squeeze them out,
slice a quarter of a peck of onions, lay
them in porcelain-ined kettle, toma-
toes and onions alternately; add one
pound OF the best yellow mustard and
cover them with vinegar. Boil steadily
