I rui. rfff J " tfillC " ""-' & i . vy WarCW ril nrsiTTrx iob rax dispatch;! One time a venerable old monk named Abunadar fell ill at the bouse of a very poor widow who lived near the great city Balsora. Although Buffering from extreme poverty, the widow devoted all her time to her guest, and gave him the best her scanty means afforded. When the monk had en tirely recovered from .his long illness he said to the poor woman: "I thank you for your kindness, and the care you have given me; had I great wealth with me it should be yours, for I see that you are scarcely able to support yourself, and must o ten do without food in order to supply your son. Let your boy, Abdal, go with me for a year; I shall provide him with food and clothes, and with him visit foreign countries. In this way I can partly pay the debt of gratitude I owe you." The widow consented to this plan, and Abdal willingly went away with the monk. For 12 months they traveled about through many lands, while the monk instructed the youtb in different branches of learning, and cared for him as for his own son. One day they came to a lonely, deserted region in closed by high mountains and overhanging rocks. "Here, my son," said the monk, "our journey ends, if ow you will have an op portunity to show the fidelity, obedience and gratitude of which you have so often boasted." The monk then kindled a fire of dry twigs, and having thrown some fine powder on the blaze,muttered a fewincoherent words, which Abdal could neither bear nor understand. Immediately the ground before them opened, and they could look into the depths of a large cave, into which led a flight of white marble step. THE JIONK TIir.N KINDLED "Kntor this grotto. Abdal, "said the monk, "and bring mc an old irrni c.inllcIlck hav ing twelve arms tlilcli vou will find hang ing ngnlnU tlic wall. Hut he care 111 not to become blinded by the treasures you will sec. Think only of the candlestick and bring it (o nient once." The hoy downdcU tho marble steps, but as soon ai he saw the heaps of gold and pre cious stone gleaming in the glow of many lamps, his love of gold en u ted him to forget the commands of the monk, and he began to fill his pockets with the wealth about him. While lie was thus engaged the entrance of the cave closed with a thunderiugnolie, and one by one the lamps went out until there wns utter dark-no.. Stricken with horror, Abdal ran this way and that, not knowing, in his fright, which wjy to turn. He felt about for the candlestick, and just at he had found it and taken it trom its place again it the wall, he saw u aint glimmer oi light. Going in this direction, he discovered a nar row, winding path leading out oi' tbe cave. But when be had come again into the bright sunshine he was in u strjnge laud, and neither the monk nor the cave were any where to be seen. When or several hours he had wandered about seeking in vain for his riend, he was astonished to find liimscli in Kigbt ol his mother's cottage, from which he had sup posed himself to be hutidrrds o miles dis tant. Wncn he had entered and told ot his adventurer, he poured forth upon the tahle the great wealth which he bad taken Irom tbe cave. The poor widow, believing her son to be a true nnd honest lad, thought the monk had taken this wav generously to re ward Abdal for his fidelity, and was re joicing over tho riches, when suddenly they disappeared; and although both mother and son grasped alter the gold and searched every nook and corner ot the house, they could find nothing of their treasure. The boy now understood that he was being pun ished for his disobedience, and determined that early the next morning he would go in search of Abunadar. That night Abdal plated tbe candle in the iron candlestick, and as soon as he had lighted it, the figure of an old monk appeared from the flame and began a weird, lantastic dance, which lasted over an hour. Then, having thrown n small leaden bullet with great lurce at Abdal, the figure vanished. Abdal then lighted 12 candles, and at once 12 similar images appeared, and per formed the same strange dunce, throwing the 12 bullets which narrowlv escaped slriking the boy ou the head. The widow and her son, too astonished to speak, looked on in silence. The next morning, carrying the candlestick, Ahdal begun bis journey to Magrah, where Abunadar had said his home wan. Having readied the city he In quired the way to the residence of the monk. When the house was pointed ont to hi'ji, he said: "Surely, the people are mistaken, nnd have not understood hip. Thin Is the housr of some great prince; nut the home of n poor monk," But when ho sought entrance Into the royal palace the servant who opened the door ior him ssid: "Abdul, you are wel come. My master has long been expecting you." When Abdul hud been shown Into the menehoe of the monk, Abunadar, lie bowed low mut IixihIihI hi in the I run candlestick, pRyluiM "Mailer, l Am new Able Jo prove my fidelity nnd iibtMlleiiee by brliiKlui? at1' minima mi ynurcnmiiMwl till iron caudle Mick. 1 luive liMveltil ler with II, (toil en lured ninny lmril'lilii in order llmt you jfllHhl himw my wIIIiiihiism to serve you." jrnr emu? time, Aliiiniiil.ir looked wuuli liiijly i Hie Iwy, Mini iheu unfit i "Vou ere liolh uiiureleliil unit ilnnlimlluiu, ami (iloil (o rob me of my wealth, llml yu known the value nf this (AiiillB.tlnk, ymi woiilrl )inv kepi llt.l.ii him) mow J lml linw you something wlih h will iiihUd ymi wonder," a llien nrdeied a slave In bring l'J wax ouMillts, mid when hii him again aiie with tliu hoy, ho iiinni tlmin cm the stand iiml lighted them.

"II I am ever able again to here this candlestick In my posses sfoDrI shall be more oarelul to kef p It, and JUryiA 2? have as many treasure chambers as this old monk." , Finally, Abunadar said: "I think, my son, you have learned a lesson. Eeturn now to your home, and take with you as a gilt from me a slave and two camels laden with gold." He then gave Abdal the key of the treas ure chamber, telling him to choose that which pleased him most. The avaricious boy secretly rejoiced in his heart, thinking now that he should be able to obtain the de sired candlestick. He hurriedly loaded the two camels, and then secreted in an old bag the large iron candlestick. Hastily thank ing the monk ior his kindness, be set out ou his way. When he returned home, he first stored away all his treasure, thinking: "I shall soon have much more than this, and I have Dot robbed the monk, :or he has more now than he can use." He then lighted the 12 candles, and again the 12 images appeared. For some time he watched their strange dance, and then he touched each with his hand, just as Abuna dar had done. But instead of showering gold and precious stones upon him, the monks flew at him with heavy clnbs and beat him until be cried for mercy. At the same time, the slave, the camels, riches and iron candlestick, vanished. And Abdal was obliged to live the rest of his life in the greatest of poverty, and in doing penance lor his evil deeds, while the kind old mother was abundantly supplied with the necessaries of life bv the faithful servants of the grateful old monk.

A FIJIE OP DIIT TTTIOS. f THE S0LAB C0B0XA. A New Theory of lia Clinrncter Which Krrma Cnpnble of Demonstration. Newcastle, Kng., Chronicle.: Tho observations made by Prof. Schiteb eric, of the Xiick Obiervatnry, in connection with the cell duo of last December, has led him to propound an entliely new theory of the solar corona. According to his ob servations tbe corona is caused by light emitted and reflected from streams of matter ejected from the sun by forces which In general net along lines normal to the sur face. These forces arc most active near the renter of each sun spot zone, and owing to the change of the position of the observer I wun reiercnce to tne piane o, inn sun s equator, the perspective overlapping and interlacing of the two sets of streamers at these zones causes the observed apparent change in the type of the corona. Having had this idea suggested to him in the course of his investigations Prof. Schne berle has hit upon n mode of mechanically demonstrating it. Having stuck a number of needles in a ball to represent the streams of matter, he placed the model in a beam ol parallel rays and allowed Its shadow to fall upon a screen, the mult being that an indefinite variety of forms similar to the coronal struc ture can be reproduced bv simply revolving the model. Whether the forms that are seen according qb the observer is above, be low or in the plane o the sun's equator agree with those that should be seen, has yet to be proved, but if there is such agreement, it will go tar in the direction of confirming this novel view of the sun's corona.

The most startling development of the controversy between Sullivan and Muldoort, which is as yet a verbal one, is the role to which tne stalwart young actor, Duncan B. Harrison, is said to aspire in the coming fray. It it were announced thit a barroom fight between Sullivan and Muldoon would come off at a certain spot at a given hour every rounder in town, tough, respectable nnd thorouchhred, would want to see it. But if, it addition to this, it were given out that on the same occasion Duncan B.

Chinamen Excel in the Art of Cooking it, but Ladles Can Learn. M0BE POPULAR S0DTH THAN K0BTH IWlUTTJEXrOBTIIX DISfATCH.1 Bice, which is the bread-food of the myriads of Southern Asia, particularly of China, Japan and India, with us is regarded only as an auxiliary. It has but very lately indeed been taken out of the class of luxu ries. A generation ago, among the largest portion of the people, its use was not at all general; and when cooked it was prepared in the simplest way. Kice, no doubt, owing to the great development in commercial facilities, Is, however, coming more and more into use. Its cheapness and its nu tritiousness, the knowledge that it may be prepared in many ways difierent from each other, and a taste which the frequent use of any food stimulates, have, with other reasons, made it a staple food. A shortage of a crop at Bangoon, in Ceylon, or in North Carolina is felt in its results on thousands of tables. Of its merits there is one not yet esteemed at its full worth: It contains a greater portion of nutritious matter than any other of the cereals, and a very high proportion of starch. It is a law of nature, referred to by Mr. Buckle in his History of Civilization, that the great heat of the climate, as it is in In dia, obliges the people to derive their usual diet not from the nuimal, but from the vegetable world, of which starch is the most important constituent. Applying this law to ourselves and to our climate, there are then strong and apparent reasons that this article of food should be more extensively used, especially during the heated season, and by those who are compelled to manual labor; for this property of the rice is in valuable when lood is high in price and hard to get, becanse it takes less of it to sup port life. the cnnrESE excel is cooking. It is but natural that tbe Chinese excel in the cooking of rice. They designate it "the great vegetable." With them it is all thatwbeat is with us, and much more. Tf n Chinese man or woman'knows anything it is how to cook rice as it should be cooked, and to make tea as it should be made. Foreign ers barbarians, as they are styled who have been admitted into the higher of the official circles of the Celestial Empire, are projuse in praise ot the exquisite and vari able ways in which rice is prepared and served. Throughout the Southern States rice is, as we ail know, more generally used than in in the North, and as a rule, is prepared in a different style. It is usually served as a vegetable and eaten very hot. A Southern writer goes so far as to Kay: "You never see rice properly cooked except in the South." With this, I fear, wo cannot agree, but there is no disputing about tastes. It is the truth that many of the natives there under stand perfectly the cooking of rice, and in New Orleans particularly, the Creole cooks arc said to excel in preparing it. "Gumbo," the famous Southern dish, ii always served with boiled rice, and, indeed, no day in tho year goes bv that rice does not heve its place on the table. Some of the Southern cooks direct that rice, while cooking, should be closely covered, and that frequent stirring is necessary, while in the North our best cooks say never to cover rice and not to stir It. We follow this last rulo with most satisfactory results. Whco properly cooked rice should be white, light, and the grnlue separate, and not, as it often appears, bluish, sticky and soggy., It can be best conked, ai all cereals can. in a steamer. Cover the rice unstlnt Ingly with new milk and steam for an hour or two. JIOILED MCE.

SUNDAY, JULY 13, THE EFFECT OF HOPE. Saint John Said Every Man That Hath It Purifieth Himself. BIGHT LIVING IS THE PEOOP OP IT. Hen Who Trust to Luck for an Opportunity to Amend Life Later. SALTATION MUST BEGlrT AT 0XCE IWEITTEH TOE THE DISPATCH.! 3Jet me set down again the words which suggested whatI was saying last Sunday in this place about Hope. The words were written by that disciple who of the whole twelve was nearest to the spirit of his Master, and so was best able to understand Him. They were all remote enough from adequate understanding of Christ, all the twelve. Anybody who reads the gospels with any attention can see that; but the apostle John, whom they spoke of as "the disciple whom Jesus loved," had the clear est vision in that dim-sighted company. "As we are, we see," John was an evidence of that. His sineularlv centle. pure and I loving nature, with no lack of strength and ure aDout it either, gave him an appre ciation and an understauding which none of the others had. In his first epistle this apostle wrote as follows: "Beloved now are we, the sons of God, and it doth notyet appear what we shall be; but we know that when He shall ap pear we shall be like Him, for we Bhall see Him as He is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, evenas He is pure." The ground oi hope is the assurance of the fatherhood of God. The object of hope is the vision of Christ at His appearing, when we shall not only see Him, but shall be our selves trans ormed into His likeness when we see Him as He is. What I have to say iu-uay is aoout tne enect, tne influence, the helplulnessofhope. That is the subject "The Helpfulness of Hope." IT MUST BE IS HIM. Every man;"that hath this hope in him" in his heart, not merely iu his Bible or his prayer book, not only upon his tongue as he recites the creed, uor in his mind only, as an unconsidered matter wnicn his, lathers have told him and which his brethren con fess, but which is not really his because it is not a part of him, is not "in" him. Every man that hath this hope and blessed assur ance in him does something cannot refrain from doing something "purifies himself" and this not after a low standard which he sets up for himself, not after the world's standard only, is not content to purify him self even as his neighbors are pure, but even ns "He," the divine and sinless Lord and Savior, the ideal of ideals even as He is pure. That is the Ideal which Christian hope sets. George Herbert reminds us that he who aims at the moon shoots higher than he who sights a tree. And Emerson talks about the wisdom of a man's bitching his wugon to a star. But all the aspirations and all the high ideals of all literature and all time are summed up here in five words which Include and go beyond them all "even as He is pure." And we are told that the inspiration to further this ideal is hope. Look ahead beyond to-day, to-morrow, beyond 11 e, beyond death, to tho celes tial country, to tho life everlasting. All is yours this is St. John's message. You are the child of God, yours tho heavenly In heritance, yours tho mansion prepared, yours the joy boyond words, boyond concep tion, of the vision nnd the presence oi God. All le yours. You have but to follow tho guldo; you have but to keep In the way, you havo but to bear tho cross as Ho who hue gone along before aa bore it; you have but to purify yourself. HO VEMl OR TIirtKATENINO.. Ours is tbe religion ol hopo and of love, not of foar and ol tbreatenlngs. God does not cry out, as in on have falsely reported mm: "iiura is tue strait auu narrow wav. if you vary from it to right or lelt, I will punish you; if you turn back and walk no longer in it, I will destroy you forever and forever In the unquenchable burnings of the pit."

GOOD LIVING A3 A. PKOOF. He that hath this hope in him purifieth himself. This hope, this worthy and true hope. So that as hope is the inspiration to good being, good being is the proof and the test of hope. Whoever has this hope in him is daily purifying himself, daily fight ing down all that is unworthy in him, und gaining a little ground at least toward some likeness to the great Ideal. Whoever is not so purifying himself, but is rather content to lead a careless, easy 11. e, in which re ligion hus no great part; or while professing a regard for religion and being numbered so far as the register of names goes among the declared followers of Christ, is so acting or so speaking, so dealing with his lellow men, as to be unworthy ol the ideal which he claims to set before him; he whoso sets his practice to contradict his prolession is depending upon some other hope than this which St. John speaks of; It Is not "this hopo" but some deceptive nnd misleading hope. Tor whosoever hath "tbls hope" in him purifieth himself. That le a deceptive and misleading hope which permits a man to postpone amend mento' bis life, under the persuasion that "everything will come out all right some how lu tbe eud."

How n Wager Blade In Dublin Added to the English Vocnbulnry. New Castle. (Eng.) Chronicle. 1 Bicbard Daly, proprietor of the Smoke Alley Theater, Dublin, in the year 1791, had an extraordinary propensity for mak ing wagers. Hearing an actor described in lTrench as un fagotin, a term for which it was argued there was no English equiva lent, a discussion arose, in the course of which, he offered to bet 20 guineas that within 48 hours a perfectly new word should be in the mouths of nearly all tbe people in Dublin, and within a week begin to be commonly used, with a new and definite meaning attached to it. The bet was accepted by Alderman Jlon criefie, in combination with three others who were present, and the stakes were duly deposited. After the performances of his theater were over, Daly wrote a word on each of a dozen or two cards, and giving one to each of the call-boys, scene-sbilters, carpenters and supernumeraries, with alump of chalk, directed thorn to perambulate tbe city until daybreak, chalking tho word upon as many doors and shutters as they could. The next day was Sunday, and upon tbe doors of shops, warehouses and private dwellings, this one word appeared, in every direction, creating no little won der and alarm. Some believed it to be the watchword of a secret society, and the signal for some un lawful slaughter-house doings; some be lieved on first seeing it that it was aniek name for themselves, all over Dublin it was talked about, discussed, and wondered at After a few days the general conclusion was that it meant nothing more than a joke, a mere trick to set people talking, only the hoax of someone who wanted to humbug and laugh at the entire population of the city. But the word was never forgotten, and it is now in common use, with a well-defined meanine att ched to it, in India, Australia, America, Canada, in short, wherever tbe English language is spoken. The word was the nowxpressive, but at first mean ingless, one Quiz. HAS SEES' A TEW FE0Q8. A New Orlennn Man Enlightens the Beer Brewers of Milwaukee. "Talking about making money out of beer, it's nothing compared to the possibil ities offered bv tbe cultivation of frogs," re marked J. C. Holmes, a merchant of New Orleans, to a Milwaukee Sentinel reporter, as he sat in the Schlitz Hotel and toyed with a glass of Milwaukee's sparkling brew. "And there is no place in the world so fitted by nature for the establish ment of frog larms as the low lands and marshes adjacent to New Orleans. They swarm In myriads. Tbe pools can't hold them all. I have seen them eitting around the banks two or three tiers deep. It is a mutter o no Infrequent occurrence lor tbe small streams running through the marshes to bo crowded up over their natural banks by tho army oi frogs In them. I recollect onco I was out with a hunting party and we cutne suddenly upon a bayou, the banks ol which for n distance of ecvcral yards wero covered with a great array of frogs out sun ning themselves. They took fright at our approach, and with one Impulse dived into tbe water ka-ohunkl "Immediately thereupon the river rose up and.covcrod tho adjoining buuks, which a momeut before had been high and dry. Another time a party of friends of mine were hunting noar tho same place, and at night pitched their camp and went to bed. The frogs, which are naturally of an In aulsltive turn ot ulnd, took a fancr to in vestigate tho oampfire, and belore morning tho whole frog community was assembled oround the tents and had them completely walled In. When the hunters awolce they could not move three feet outside the tent doors and eventually bad to get their guns and fire into the ranks of the frogs lor al most an hour before they could clear a path by which to get out."

From two different parts of India Cal cutta and Mangalore come reports an nouncing that soveral cases of leprosy have been cured. There are various kinds of leprosy, and medical experts have promul gated as many and more conflicting theories as to its cause, tbe contagiousness or other wise, and as to its curability or incurability. What is certain is that the disease may con tinue for very many years without causing death, and that when tbe disease has reached an advanced stage it is probably incurable. It has been claimed that the malady is hereditary, bnt this lia; been dis proved. It is also asserted that women are less liable to tbe disease than men. Poor living, want of cleanliness, and ex posure to cold and damp these are some of the conditions generally attendant upon victims to leprosy. One authority savs it is contagious, another that its characteristic is extremely problematical. Amid so many conflicting opinions, details ot the several cures which are reported to have been ef fected in Iudia will be awaited with inter est. The cost of successful treatment is said to be only 10 rupees. SHIELDED BY FAT. The Hooded Pent Cnn Protect Hlmsolf From tlii Hunter's Heaviest Cnns.
