Singular Salt Water Customs.
The people of Varna, on the coast of
the Black sea, in Bulgaria, have a singu-
lar custom which they observe at the
feast of the Epiphany, which occurs on
Jan. 6. The clergy, both Greeks and
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 a still more
singular salt water custom on the same
day. After dark at night, all the
newly married men in the town are con-
ducted, with bands of music and singing,
to the shore, and made to take three suc-
cessive plunges into the icy watefs They
are then conducted home, where their
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 a pagan origin.—Youth’s
Companion.
Alphonse Daudet’s Methods.
Like a painter who keeps an album,
where he carefully notes, under the im-
pression of the moment, silhouettes, atti-
tudes, a foreshortening’ here, a movement
of arms there, I have collected, during
the last thirty years, a multitude of little
notebooks, where I cursorily jot my re-
marks, my thoughts, enough to remind
me of a gesture, a tone of voice, the
whole to be developed and enlarged later
in harmony with the future novel. In
Paris, on my travels, in the country, I
have blackened these notebooks without
a thought of the labor that I was accu-
mulating between their pages. I find
there proper names which often I cannot
bring myself to alter, as I discover in
names a proper physiognomy, the im-
print of the people who bear them.—
“Thirty Years of Paris.”
Living on Volcanic Isles.
Bonin Islands, discovered and settled
by the Japanese 250 years ago, and de-
serted by them fifty years later, are sit-
uated between the 25th and 27th degs.
of north latitude, and east longitude
about 140 degs. 23 mins. There are
more than forty islands, large and small.
St. John, being the only one inhabitable,
boasts about fifty people of double na-
tionality, governed by no law except the
precarious one of “every man for him-
self, and the devil for us all.” While
peace generally prevails, grievances are
not infrequently wiped out in blood—the
assassin having nothing to fear unless
the victim has a friend to avenge him.
This group is a volcanic formation,
and the scenery is wonderful. High
mountains, whose heads disappear among
the clouds, deep valleys worn into fan-
tastic shapes by the heavy rains of Jan-
uary and February, perpendicular bluffs
and level plains, smooth gravel beaches
and bold rocky shores, form a contrast
so wild and picturesque, so terribly en-
chanting, that one expects some great
and instantaneous change, some wonder-
ful phenomenon, a falling of these fright-
ful precipices, a rising of the fruitful
plains—a grand mingling of the whole—
for you cannot throw off the idea that
the laws of gravitation are at fault, and
that a crash may be expected at any mo-
ment. Pure springs of crystal water far
up among the cliffs send down leaping
brooks and rivulets, which, rushing
through some volcanic rupture in moun-
tains, are scattered in finest spray, but
gathering again, ripple on their rocky
course, seeming to smile as they glide
more smoothly among the cabbage trees,
watering the loholla, mulberry and
banana, spreading over the pebbly beach
and mingling with the waters of the har-
bor. And such a harbor, landlocked
with perfect ‘ ‘holding ground’ ’ from ten
to thirty fathoms below the surface. A
hundred ships would “swing clear” with
their “right. bower” a cable’s length
ahead.
Green turtles are taken by thousands,
and form the principal flesh 'food, al-
though wild hogs gre found among the
hills in large droves, and deer are plenty.
Twenty kinds of fish are caught along
the reefs and shores. Onions are raised
in large quantities, sweet potatoes and
yams are cultivated to some extent, all
of which are exchang’ed with passing ves-
sels for Spanish dollars, and the dollars
hoarded—for what?—Kennebec Journal.
Gen. Longstreet devotes himself en-
tirely to grape culture on his pretty little
estate at Gainesville, Ga.
To Prevent a Black Eye.
Physicians have been for years looking
for something that will quickly remove
traces of a 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-
sated nothing can be done but to let
nature do the work, although bathing
with warm water will assist the process.
I have, however, found that when the
injury is fresh, and before the blood has
had a 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 eirculation and prevent the
black eye from forming.—Physician in
Globe Democrat.
A Diplomatic Clergyman.
A good minister was talking to a class
of young people who had become inter-
ested in religious matters through the in-
fluence 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. I believe it is a right for a
man to ask the Almighty to increase Ms
business and make it prosper.”
“But,” said a young man present, “I
am an undertaker. Would it be right for
me to ask the Lord to give me a boom in
business?”
The minister was nonplussed for a mo-
ment, and the class evidently regarded
the question as a poser. But the divine
finally arose to the emergency and re-
plied:
1 ‘While I 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-
als might be thrown in your way. ’ ’—

System of Education Given by the Vari-
ous Schools for Deaf Mutes.
There are doubtless a large number of
children born deaf, or who have become
deaf since birth through the evil effect of
measles or scarlet fever or some other of
the kindred scourges of childhood, who
are going through the world as deaf
mutes for lack of knowledge, on the part
of those that have the care of them, that
schools exist to which they may be sent
almost free of charge, and sometimes
quite free.
In these schools deaf children are not
only taught to speak and to know what
other people are speaking, but they ac-
quire a thorough education in all
branches, and in addition receive instruc-
tion in sewing, in the use of tools and a
general industrial training, so that when
they leave school they are quite prepared,
if need be, to earn their own living by
their own hands or head.
It would seem that no parent could be
indifferent to the possibility contained in
the system of education given by the
various schools for deaf mutes, if aware
of their existence. The little people,
who might otherwise go through the
world aided only by signs, here acquire
language so completely that it is only in
the dark that they are returned to their
world of silence, being deaf only as the
hero of Jean Paul’s Titan became blind,
after sunset, and returning to all the
pleasures of sound with the lighting of
the lamps. The children thus educated
ask no odds of those other children pro-
vided by partial nature with better means
of taking care of themselves. Compar-
ison of graduates of deaf mute schools
and of those of other schools shows no
difference whatever in proficiency and
intelligence, and in mingling with
the world afterward the deaf mute pu-
pils are not accompanied by any painful
sense of deficiency. In fact, the more
they mingle with the world, as in the
case of other youth, the more self-confi-
dence and the larger vocabulary do they
acquire, and they are more injured by
receipt of exceeding sympathy than they
are by the withholding of it, many of
them complaining of the tendency to
magnify their misfortune, which almost
ceases to be a misfortune to them when
they find themselves readily understand-
ing all that goes on about them, finding
their way about, and often going to
church, to concerts, to theatres, and
taking as much enjoyment as those do
who are in the possession of all their
senses.
Indeed, many educated deaf mutes
who have acquired language, and who
have any superior intelligence of their
own, claim that they have an advantage
in their deafness itself; for it has obliged
them to concentrate in thought and quick
wit and in eyesight the amount of force
which is by others dissipated in the world
of attaching and detaching sound, and
they are, they are apt to think, and that
not without reason, the deeper and
broader, readier and better, for the oc-
clusion of one of their senses. When
Mr. Fawcett, lately a high postoffice offi-
cial of Great Britain, became in his early
boyhood entirely blind, it is said that he
resolved that he would go through life
exactly as if he saw; and he carried out
his intention, as we all know, as far as
that was a possible thing, and a large
share of his achievement was due to this
determination. It would be well if all
people robbed of one of their senses
formed the same resolution, and carried
it out but half as well.
But long before children who are shut
out from all actual sound are old enough
to make any such determination for
themselves, and while they can only see
with a poignant pain that they are dif-
erent from other- children, ignorant of
any means by which the difference may
be cured, it is the duty of parents to sup-
ply to them, as far as may be, every
deficiency of their senses. This, to a
certain extent, can be done at home, and
a singular success has attended the prac-
tice of treating the deaf child exactly as
if it could hear, so that, almost as it were
by intuition, it has acquired the art of
speech to a limited extent. But as that
extent is very likely to remain limited,
the rest of the deficiency can only be
supplied by schools having no other object
than the instruction of the deaf, and it is
at once to be seen that every guardian of
such a child is under an obligation to the
child to inform himself about such
schools, and to give the child the advan-
tages to be gained from them, even if in
so doing the child in so far has to become
a beneficiary of the state. The debt to
the state is not a serious one, since it is
for the interest of the state that every
member of the community shall be
brought to the highest perfection.—Har-
per’s Bazar.
How to Thoroughly Enjoy Books.
Lately I have read all the ‘ ‘How I Was
Educated” and “BooksThat Have Helped
Me” papers, and I have noted how, in
the majority of instances, the great writ-
ers and thinkers of today were cdjafined
in their childhood and youth to compara-
tively few books. These they read till they
were learned almost by heart. And by so
doing they not only got .out all, or nearly
all, that was in the authors, but insen-
sibly acquired a good literary style. An
author whose entire meaning and pur-
pose can be grasped at one reading is not
of the highest class, and the more we ad-
vance in life and in culture, the more
pleasure do we find in our favorite au-
thors. They respond to the improve-
ment in ourselves. The more powers of
appreciation we possess, the more do we
find m them to appreciate. They never
disappoint us, but are constantly reveal-
ing new thoughts and previously hidden
meanings.
The student alone thoroughly enjoys
books. Remember this, you skimmers
who are not too confirmed in your bad
habits, and you readers who would really
enjoy the wisdom of our best friends.
Bear with me if I repeat, “it is better
not to know so many things than,to know
so many things that are not so.”—Julian
Magnus in The Epoch.

Mexico’s Excellent Schools.
“What is the present status of the
educational interests of Mexico?” was
asked of Mr. Talbott, of The Railway
Age.
“In answering this question I am com-
pelled to admit that herein I experienced
the most agreeable surprise of the many
by which my long journey was marked.
In most of the states education is com-
pulsory, the public schools in these con-
stituting one of their chief glories; col-
leges and seminaries supported wholly or
in part by the state governments exist in
all the principal cities and are in a
flourishing condition; poor boys are in-
structed in the various trades, such as
carpentry, cabinet making, tailoring,
shoemaking, printing, spinning, sad-
dlery, etc., along with their spelling,
reading, writing and mathematics; poor
girls are taught to sew, to knit, to cook,
to embroider and, in short, to creditably
discharge all the duties of a housewife at
the same time that music and the com-
mon branches of our own American edu-
cation are being taught them; and all at
,the public expense.
“If any one supposes that education is
a neglected question in our sister repub-
lic, let him visit its capital or either of
the cities of Chihuahua, Aquascalientes,
Queretaro, Guanajunto, Guadalajara,
Pueblo, Morelia, Orizaba, Vera Cruz,
Jalapa or Cuarnavaca on the occasion of
any public examination of students. He
•will experience great surprise and equal
delight. He will find the children of
Spaniards, of mixed races and of pure
Indians, sitting side by side and nobly
struggling for the same prizes. And the
same is true of the towns, villages and
great farms.”—Chicago Journal Inter-
view.

HAVE TO CASH UP.
The decision of Judge Stewart in the
case of Wm. Werner and others who have
been fighting the city school tax, was
affirmed in the supreme court yesterday
and the delinquents will have to cash up.
The plaintiffs took the ground that the
tax was unconstitutional and secured an
injuction from Judge Burkhart, of Rich-
mond, restraining the city collector from
enforcing payment. Judge Stewart sus-
tained a demurrer to the plaintiffs’ petition
and dismissed the case. Every point, both
legal and constitutional was bitterly con-
tested .
