ICEBERGS ON EVERY RAND.
The Sound that Startled the Seamen.
The dangers arising from the numbers of
huge icebergs which are now drifting
directly in the track of vessels sailing be-
iksveen, this country and Europe is shown in
the experience of the ehip St,,,,Raul, which
has arrived at New York from Liverpool.
Capt, Williams reports that as soon as he
reached the Banks w dense fog Bet in. On
the llth, in latitude 42 deg. 13 see. and
longitude 50 deg,see., one large
iceberg and tWo $ • er ones could be
discerned through tho mist. The fog
lecame very dense on- the proccedctl
elowly, while a sharp lookout
-was keptup. The temperature of the air
denoted the presence Of ice, and during the
day a sound like that of a heavy surf dash-
ing against the rooks could be plainly
heard. This sound was caused by the sea
breaking against the walls of a large ice-
berg near by, but which, owing to the dense
tog, could not be seen. The iceberg was
liable todrift-dEvin tipb tho sinv—ht-any
moment. 'Many Utile sailors were fright-
ened, imagining that they heard the roar
of •the sea against the ice growing louder.
The sound, however, afterwards came from
"stern as the ship sailed on, but the
anxiety of the crew was still very great.
Next day another large iceberg was passed.
(apt. Williams, decided to lie to under
short sail for' a time. On the loth a heavy
gale from north -north -cast set in and con-
tinued for ten hours. When the storm
had abated the fag was still too thick for
-the ship to proceed. She 1047 to for three
days, and at the expiation of ' that tithe
the mist cleared away - and revealed quan-•
titles of ice in the neighborhood. The St.
Paul now proceeded, but met with thick
weather until port. was . reached. The
Dutch steamship Sishiedam' which hail
arrived from Rotterdam atNew York,
sighted a large number of icebergs on thq„
18th', in latittude-44-0-aird longitude 48-0,
and she was obliged to Steam some 80
iieuthviard-in order to pail
clear of them. On the following day, in
latitude 420 and longitude 53P , another
large iceberg_was passed:- , '
A Wonderful Sbus:
• There is a wonderful Irish story_ about a
stone on which the ancient kings of Munster
. were crowned, after a primitive but not
tincommon fashion: If any sat thereon,:
with no blood -right to the throae, it gave
320 sign: but when the true heir pressed it,
a miraculous sound of approval WAS heard.
O'Flaherty tells us Since the incarnation
of our blessed Lord, ithas produced no
such sounds.' We are not informed of the
connection between the Babe of Bethlehem
and the Lia Fail. The reputed travelling
adventures of this • stsme constitute a
greater rciarvel thartits speaking powers.
It was the stone set- up by Jacob for ' his
pillow. Ete or somebody else took the'
trouble, some hundred years after, to hunt
it up, and carry.it•to Egypt. When the
, Irish Milesian colonists left that land with
Pharaoh's ' daughter, it came along . to
Ireland.. Ages afterwards some one took it
to Scotland. It was St. Colomba's pillow.
It was the.Scottish coronation stone. It
was stolen from Scone by Edward I. It. is
now. known: as the coronation stone of '
Westininstea. Abbey. .AII this, and. more,
vas honestly. believed by writers and
historians • until lately.' Now several ac-
counts are given that throw more than a
shade of doubt upon 'the. romance. .Mr.
James Mason is prepared to show thattha
- canny Scots substituted it rough
stone for the genuine .article when ordered
, • to send it to London. But D. Parka the
learned And excellent antiquary, is con-
vinced that the real stone never went to
Scone at all, but that the Zia Fail is atilt
in Ireland, standing on thii site Of Tara's
The Princess ,Loialse and the Micro's

The ingenousnossof Princesss Louise is
rapidly becoming proverbial. Anincident
very worthy of ,note that transpired when
. her royal highness was in this city has,
culminated in a sequel 1» keeping with all
the other many laudable sets that • have
been accredited to , our Queen'a • daughter
Pince she stepped on Canadian shores.
Wien her royal highness was in this
,city she learned that a sister of Sir Fen-
wick Willia,naa, the Floo_of_Karsa..reside
here. The' princess sought and.wos accord -
ea an interView with Sir Fenwick's sister,
the widowof the late Mr. john.C4 Vail.
The sequel to this pleasant occasion trans-
pired the other day when Mrs. Vail, who in
it:much resanoted lady in her 82nd year,
received a cabinet photograph. of her royal
highness and bearing her autograph, also
biograity of the Duke of Kent .to read.
These Were accompanied by &very pleasant

Writing from TOMO yeetOrday (Mon-
day), a correspondent says Tuesday it
was whispered that Mr. Handford ana
Mrs. Leslie had met At Oakville and spout
the day together, she going to I:lanai-1ton
and he returning to Toronto. A reporter
visited the neighborhood where it is alleged
Mr. Handford was so indiscret as to prom-
enade, and found a ravine of surpassing
beauty.„ To enter -this lovely dell the
seeker must first pass threugh" a de-
lapidated gateway, immediately opposite
Parliament street; Passin_g_on, the visitor
proceeds down it -stiniti bout 50 yard,
Where there is a sharp turn to the right,
known as the first curve, a little further on
about 200 yards there is another curve and
this is the point where it is said Mr. Rand -
ford left the highway, and with his lady
companion plunged into a labyrinth of
eheubbery -and underbrush: Proceeding
north about 30 yard S there is a third curve
and from this elevated curve Mr.Outhwaite,
our informant, saw the pastor and his com-
panion disappear. After leaving the, valley
end driving several miles over a circuitous
roadway the visitor enierged on to Yonge
street. Mr. Outhwaite says: saw on
Wednesday of last week at about 11 a.m.,
as I was walking along Howard
street, in an easterly direction, just
as I reached Parliament ,street,
lady and gentlemau 1iig leisurely
along the east side close teethe cemetery.
I thought the gentleman looked like Mr.
Handford, and.[ examined closely and dis-
covered it Was him. 1 crossed the road
near the entrance to the ravine and, tarn-.

but at the third curve he etopped again
and I noticed. him beckoning to the lady;
They. etood a moment and • then passed
down the embankment into the bush. • I
was greatly surprised, and as soon as they
disappeared I ran to the gap and saw Mr.
Handford and the. lady standing in. a
'secluded place about fifty or seventy 'feet

stood at the :gap. about two minutes, not

When a reporter visited Mr. Handford on
Thursday he was received most cordially.

How ioEclatre Yourself and Live.
*a authority says that one means of
living comfortably iu hot weather is to
change your diet to the extent of avoiding
heavy ixieats as much as your atomach will
allow. Meat is a heat -producing food, and
consequently quite necessary in the cold
weather that steadily robs the human
physique of its warmtlA; but the man who
in summer allows habit to compel him to
eat loudly of beef, mutton or pork two or
three times e, day is :amply providing A
superfluity of physical heat, and, conse-
quently, much physical discomfort. Fish,
poultry and meat soups contain as
much animal feed as any one but
an invalid can use to advantage in hot
weather. Let spirituous liquors alone ;
they may stimulate for a few moments, but
your systenamust work extra hard to get
rid of them, as it always is determined to do.
Bathe daily, for the amount of physical ex-
creta -passed througa tae skin during pro
fuse perspiration is enormems. Por the
same reason change underclothing and
8tecking:1 daily if poesible, even if you are
so poor that you must wash them yourself.
If you have no bathtub' a square .of oilcloth,
with sticks, canesor broom handles to raise
the edges, will make a fair substitute, and
A basin full of water will do far more good
than*: water at a,11. De not hurry, unless a
minute at the time is worth ten minutes
later iu the day, for it will ha,ve to be paid
for at about that rate. Forswear excite-
ment. Go early to bed, for sleep after
sunrise is not worth much in such weather.
Let iced drinks alone; you are more com-
fortable while .perspiring than when per-
spiration has been rudelycheeked. Do not
he afraid of exercise, for you cannot be
comfortable without it; but violent exer-
cise ie never beneficial. Above all things
hyoid. paeatal worry, for this is the most
extravagant and destructive of
lion% Calin thought will attain desirable
ends more quickly than fretting at the
highest pressure. '
. • How -So Menage cuttings.
In reply to a correspondent, the Floral
Cabinet gives the 'following directions in
regard to the malciug • and managing of
palat cuttiugs: In seledting a cutting a
great deal- depend a 'upon I the- judicious -
choice ; if the slip is too young and, full of
fresh sap, it will, fade away from tee much
--evaporation ; it it is -too old—hard and
woody—it will take a great while to strike
root You must take a cutting that is per -
badly ripeaed and is from a vigorous shoot;
yet a little hardened at the base. It is also
essential to have a bud or joint at or near
the end of a cutting, as. all the roots strike
from. it; and the nearer itis to the base
the greater your. chance of success. Plaait
your cuttings in common red pots filled
halffull of rich loam and twe inches of
sand on top (scouriug •smicl will do, but
not sea sand) ;• wet this thoroughly, and
putthe cuttings close around` the edge of
tho pot, for if the bud or joint comes in
coated witli the surface Of the pet; it
seems to strike. root more quickly. Pull
off thee:Iwo leaves before you plant the
"Wilreilig. Press the wet sand lightlaat.,bout
the tiny stem, for b, great deal of your sue -
cess in raising the cutting depends upon
the close contact of the sand with the stem:
When thecuttingsare firraly planted,
- cover- glean -witlea. glass -shade,- if- possiblea
as it will greatly promote the growth of the
plant. Moisture, light and heat ar• the
three ;essentials to plant. life; Wi
themne cutting, will start.; Shade for two
or three days from the sunlight, but don't
let the sand become dry; then give all the
sun you:man:obtain, keep up a good supply
of moisture, and yon -eau hardly fail to root

• After all the asseitiena and denials, it is
at last settled that George Eliot did really
marry Mr. Cross, the American banker.
Mr. Cross is •38; Mart* Evaus

produced h great deal of talk in England;
first, on aceount . of • the disparity in the
ages of the couple; second, because Grose is
neither literary a nor , highly •culturecl ;
third, because George Eliot, after. being a
pesitivist for.sonsany years, was finally

less extravagant notions, took exception to

was opposed in his life of expenditure and
gayety, he took the notion into hid head to
