In Iceland there are 200 Lutheran churches, with a population of 70,000. Word comes from Carleton College, Minnesota, that every young1 lady in that institution is believed to be a Christian.

At Columbia City, a church organization under the name of The Comeouters" has been carrying on a series of meetings. The members claim that thev are without sin. and arc tho chosen of the Lord. Miss Susannah Warfleld, a wealthy unmarried woman who died recently at her home, 'Groveland' Carroll County, left all her property to found an Episcopal college which is to be named after her. The endowment amounts to about 8100,000.

Wesleyan University, Middletown, lately received a rare and valuable gift from an alumnus, Marcus L. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y. It is somo 1,500 Chinese coins representing every dynasty and every Emperor, some of them ante-dating several hundred years the Christian era. Miss llankey, the first woman ever graduated at Columbia, is to be commemorated by a window in tho collego library.

The design is. an allegorical representation of her career as a scholar, cut short by death. There are three principal figures, those of science, an angel, and a student. Tho First Congregational Church of Amherst, celebrated a few days ago the 150th anniversary of its found ing. A historical address was delivered by its pastor, Rev.

G. S. Dickerman, who traced tho development of tho church from the small band of eighteen founders to tho present society of 450 members. Jay Gould, it is said, pays $2,500 for a pew in Dr. Hall's church.

Although fairly regular at tho morning service he never appears in the evening. Russell Sago, on the contrary, is in his slip at both services. Tho combined contributions of these financial Christians are estimated at, $10,000 a year, or 31,000 a month. All nameless offerings of $300 or more, which are by no means rare, "are attributed to these gentlemen. Tho Central Board of Canadian Methodist Missions met recently and appropriated $210,582 to its missions Indinn, Domestic, French Canadian, Japan and Chinese.

The whole Dominion is included in the field of its operations, and also Newfoundland and Bermuda. Tho contemplated union of tho Methodist Episcopal, Methodist Episco pal South, and Canadian Missions in Japan into one Methodist church in that Empire gives great satisfaction. Tho widow of an English clergyman left by her will a largo sum to be paid to the chaplain of a consumptives' homo and to two clergymen in charge of churches on tho condition that they read her dopartod husband's sermons to tho people under thoir charge. Through a wrong description of the funds she dedicated to this purpose the legacy was frustrated. So both sick and well wero spared having those sermons inflicted on them.

But when was ther over boforo such a proof of wifely admiration of a husband's sermons? Christian Inquirer.

Mow Ho Vanquished jui Alligator in the Kick of Time. Florida is the sportsman's paradise. There is nothing so exciting as shooting ad. if rou don' know how to shoot them it is a waste of ammunition. Tounste passing throuc-h Florida shoot them from the steamboat decks, and the great saurians pay no attention to the fact that they are being shot at they seem to rather enjoy the sensation.

The bullets flatten on their scales and drop off into the water or lodge in the backbone, where they do not even create a temporary annoyance. But the experienced alligator hunter watches for his chance and shoots the reptile in the throat. If the ball hits him squarely he is a dead alligator, while if it does not he is a mad alligator and a dangerous animal to deal with. A party of expert sportsmen were on one of the creeks which empty into the St. John's river.

Alligators were as plentiful as logs. They were everywhere. The banks were lined with them, the water was full of them, and the hunters took their time to select a big ono and get a good shot at him. Finally a big one was seen on a log basking in the sun, his throat fully exposed a beautiful shot. The reptile was sixteen or seventeen feet long.

One of the hunters took careful aim and fired. The huge jaws flew open, and with a bound the saurian was in the water. He had been hit. but he was far from being killed. With a mad rush he started for the boat.

The situation "I -w mt was -a critical one. it was or no use to shoot unless an eye could be hit, or the vulnerable throat. He was rapidly nearing the boat and some- A 1 -a imng naa to do done quicKiy. Just as the enraged alligator reached the boat he threw his head over the bow. Tho now thoroughly frightened hunters clubbed their guns; and began clubbing him; but it was of no use the alligator, with jaws extended, would soon be in the boat.

The men could not jump into the water, for it was literally alive with alligators. It was almost certain death to remain where they were. One of their number, however, drawing a knife, took chances, dropped over the side of the boat, and swam to tho end where the alligator wras holding possession, With a sharp hunting knife in his hand he jumped nimbly astride the reptile, anu Deiore it could realize that he was there he had with a lightning like stroke reached around its body and cut its throat Ihe saurian turned at once, but not quite quick enough; the hunter had leaped back into the other end of the boat. This gave the men time to act, and three well-directed shots were fired. One struck the alligator in the eye, another in the gaping wound in the throat, and it wras but a few minutes until the wag dead It was brought to shore and skinned.

When measured it was found to be sixteen feet seven inches in length one of the largest ever seen on the St. John's river or its tributaries. The hunters are proud of their success, but they don't want to repeat tho experience, the danger of which only those acquainted with alligator hunting can fully appre ciate. Jacksonville (FJa.) Letter. TRADITIONS OF JUDAS.

How tlie Betrayer of Christ Is Regarded in Many Countries. It was believed in Pier della Valle's time that a descendant of Judas Iscariot was living at Corfu, though the person who suffered this imputation stoutly denied the truth of the genealogy. The man was subjected to all sorts of indignities and cruelties and is believed to have been foully dealt with, an opinion strengthened by the fact that his house was burned shortly after his disappear ance. When the ceremony of washing the feet is performed in the Greek Church at Smyrna the priest represents Christ, the twelve Apostles being acted by as many priests. He who personates Judas must be well paid for it, and such is the feeling of the people that whosoever ac cepts this odious part commonly retains the name of Judas through life.

Judas serves in Brazil for a Guy Fawkes, to be carried about by the boys and made the subject of an "anto-da-fe." On certain feast and fast days the Spanish sailors dress a figure to represent the Betrayer and hang it at the yard-arm. The inhabitants of many of the Mediterranean Sea islands hang or burn a figure of Judas on each recurring Good Friday. One remarkable part of the ceremony consists of decking the head and face of the figure with red-dyed wool, which may be accounted for by the fact that there is a tradition that Judas was red-haired. Shakespeare calls red hair "Judas-colored hair." and many foremost writers have spoken of it as "the flaming brand of infidelity. In the Island of Bhodes a dead hog is dressed up to represent Judas, the grand climax to the celebration being the removal of the porker's bowels in fulfilment of the scriptural passage which says that Judas fell and his bowels gushed out.

The Armenians, who believe held and limbo to be the same place, say that Judas, after having betrayed the Lord, resolved to hang himself because he knew that Christ was to go to limbo and deliver all the souls that He found there. He thought by killing himself to get to limbo in time to be released with the other but the deviL knowing Lis intent, held him over limbo until the Lord had passed through, and let him faU into the abyss (hell) below. St. Louis Republic op to The Coat of Teeth and the Income of Some Popular Dentists. "Dentistry is not what it is cracked up to be, and, although it pays big profits, many bills for work done are not collectible," said a well-known Fulton street dealer.

"For this reason honest men and wftmfin arn com nelled to suffer for the transgression of Mead he went on. "I have a friend who recently sold a set of teeth for SU5 which cost him exactly 816.20. By a set of teeth 1 mean the upper and lower sets. The teeth mentioned above were set on alluminum. Teeth set on rubber cost the patient $50 and tho dentist $10.

The prices given are average ones. Some dentists who serve the 'best ask even higher rates." All dentists, according to the Brooklyn expert, claim to do their mechanical work on their premises. This is not so. Less than one-half of the dentistry in Brooklyn do their own work or employ mechanical men by the week. A larger part of the work claimed to be done by local dentists is performed by half a dozen mechanical dentists who make a specialty of that branch of the business.

"What are mechanical dentists paid for their services?" was asked. "Eight dollars per set, which includes upper and lower. Tho dentist so contracting for the work is obliged to furnish the teeth, which usually cost from $4 to $6 per double set. Plain teeth are worth 10 cents and gum teeth 15 cents each. The best teeth are made in Philadelphia.

Dentists try to convince their patients that teeth are very expensive," he added, "and that to make an upper and lower set takes two or three days. This is all humbug. A mechanical dentist who is a good workman can make three sets in twentyrfour hours. "Dentists employ mechanical men make a plaster of paris cast of tneir patient's jaw, so as to get the articulation, or fitting of the teeth, correct. Theso casts cost about 5 cents each, and when made are sent to the dental labora tories, Avhero tho remainder of the work is done.

"Until the middle of September dentists might as well close their offices and go in the country, as little or no work is done then. The months of August and September are the dullest in the year for the dental profession." "What are tho incomes of Brooklyn dentists?" "Somo dentists make as high as and S15.000 a year, while others hardly earn their salt. Ladies prefer to patronize pleasant and agreeable den tists to men who are surly and uncouth in manners. Dentists who are personally popular have the largest incomes, rtomen dentists? Qh, yes. To my knowledge there is one in Brooklyn.

This lady attends almost exclusively to women and children. Occasionally sho has a man patient, but not often." "Do women make a success of dentistry?" "Not always. The feminine mind is sometimes unable to grasp its intricacies. More women dentists practice their profession in Europe than in America." "How are twelve-dollar-a-set teeth, 'made while you manufactured?" "In almost the same manner that fifty-dollar sets are made. A mechanical dentist would charge tho same price for making a twelve-dollar set of tooth as he would for a higher-priced set.

Dantists, however, who make teeth at tho rate named always do their own work. In cheap upper and lower sets of teeth the teeth cost $2, while in the higher-priced sots the teeth are worth but $2 more. In cheap sets the only additional expense is for rubber and plaster. The materials used in dentistry cost but little. It is the work and skill for which the patient is obliged to pay." N.

Y. Journal. Silk and Wool Mourning: Dresses. For mourning dresses this season are new silk and wool fabrics in light qualities imitating China crapes, and a serviceable silk called Antoinette surah is for light mourning. This fabric shows heavy diagonal lines in the weaving.

Bordered, plaided and striped surahs in black and white India silks with black grounds, widely or narrowly striped in white, and white grounds with all-over arabesque designs, large polka dots, and floral and geometrical patterns, are also exhibited for the spring and summer. White, black, and gray ginghams follow the block and check patterns recently noted in new colored cottons. Fine white batistes, French lawns, and sheer organdies delicately hem-stitched and finished on the skirts with very deep hems will be worn all summer by those in mourning; also those of india muslin dresses finished with black or white brier-stitching.

I Tho Evolution iiinmtnM vwm tUm Torch to the Incandescent Light.

Awav i age, Itmusthavft Wn AtohAMW dull after sunset. To be sure, most people went to bed at dark in those days, there were no books to read, visits to make. or places of amusement to attend, but, all the same, there must have been occasions when a man felt like sitting up after dark. If he did, he sat by a camp-fire, that scorched his face and blistered his eyes, or else illumined the darkness by the light of a torch a smoky, bad-smelling torch. Any one who has hunted by torch-light knows what an apology for a light it is.

When pre-historic man discovered that oil would burn, and, by means of wick, a light could be had, he must have thought the perfection of light was attained. Yet what a wretched light it was! Put a lamp-wick in a cup of lard-oil, set fire to one end and note the result. Then came candles invented some time in the first centuries of our era and they really were a great step in advance. A wax candle gives a very soft and pleasing light, and if it were not for the expense and trouble, they might be in general use now. Then came closed lamps, with tubes through which the wicks were conveyed to the oil reservoirs.

The use of whalo oil originated with the Norwegians, and as early as 16S0 tne uutcn had two hundred vessels the business of catching whales. As late as 1858 the Americans had six hundred vessels engaged in the fishery. Gas then began to effectually displace whale oiL In 1807 a number of London streets were lighted with gas. and about ten years later (1816) it was introduced into this country, but for some years it made slow progress in public favor. The first really successful plant was erected in Boston in 1822.

In 1708 a Frenchman discovered the process by which water, gas was made. In 1875 Prof. Lowe established the first works in the United States. Natural gas has been known and extensively used in China and other parts of Asia for many centuries, and history tells us of a natural gas well in France in the time of Julius Caesar. It was first discovered in the United States near Pittsburgh about fifty years ago, but it is only of late years that it has been extensively utilized.

Petroleum has been known since the dawn of history. For a number of years it was known to the Indians and early settlers as Seneca oil, and used as a medicine, chiefly as a liniment. The first systematic boring for petroleum began about 1857 to 1859, and in a few years the product increased enormously. At present the yearly output is between twenty and thirty million of being opened. Russia has a great oil field in Trans-Caucasia, near Baku.

The latest illuminant, probably destined to displace all others, is the electric light. It is no new thing, having been known to scientists for a century or more, but it has only come into general use within tho last twenty-five years. Of the minoailluminants we have had in the course of the last century, alcohol, naphtha, benzine, camphene and gasoline may be mentioned. Alcohol lamps are used now in some trades, and gasoline is largely used by people who care more for a bright light than their personal safety. The others are now rarely used as illuminants, being highly inflammable, and consequently dangerous.

Golden Days. A STRANGE COLONY. tndian-Moorlsh-Trlsh Settlers In Sussex County, Del. Peter Robinson's "Indians" are recalled to public attention by an item in Every Evening's Lewes letter, reporting the repairing and renovation of their church, and, through an act which Peter Robinson got through the Legislature in 1881, their own school-houses two of the latter. These people are found chiefly in River Hundred, Sussex County, but there is a smaller colony in the neighborhood of Leipsic, Kent County.

In Sussex they call themselves Indians; in Kent, Moors. In both counties they maintain, so far as they conveniently can, a separate social life, intermarrying among themselves, and associating but little with negroes and mulattoes. Their genealogy became a subject of judicial investigation in 1856 in the trial at Georgetown of a case against Levi Soakum for selling, contrary to the law of that day, powder and shot to one Isaiah Harm an, alleged to be a free mulatto. The case turned upon whether Harman was of negro or Indian blood, and the testimony satisfied the court that these so-called Indians were legally mulattoes. The evidence in the case showed that nearly two hundred years ago a cargo of African slaves was landed at Lewes.

Among these slaves was a tall, fine-looking young man called Bequa, whose complexion and features proclaimed him more Caucasian than negro. Bequa was purchased by a young Irish widow, who subsequently became his wife. At that time the Nanticoke Indians still lingered in the neighborhood. The offspring of Bequa and his Irish wife were not recognized in white society, and would not associate and intermarry with negroes, but they did associate and intermarry with the Indians, and their descendants have preserved their Indian Moorish Irish blood with little foreign admixture to this day.
