fTnANSLATEDFOBTHE DISPATCH.
On the border of a broad, fertile meadow,
through which ran a clear, murmuring
brook, was an ancient forest, whose giant
oiks bad withstood the storms of many cen
turies. Here, when the winter snows bad
disappeared, bloomed the earliest daisies
and violets; snd here the birds sang their
first greetings to spring. All snnimer long
in this beautiful place, fragrant with the
perlnme of flowers and ferns, cool and shade
could be found lor the weary traveler. The
forest was known as the home of the dwari;
ior among the granite rocks near by, and in
the hollow trees, these little creatures lived
their free, happy lite. True, they seldom
allowed themselves to be seen; bat tneir
tiny footprints were otten discove.td in the
soft earth; and one evening, when Carl, the
son of a poor musician, was walking
through the forest, he saw at the Toot ot an
old oak tree a bright light gleaming among
the ferns and Grasses. Going nearer, he
peered iutn the opening, and there seated
around a table were a score or more of the
little men, each wearing a pointed green
cap and a gray coat. They had glasses of
wine before them and were smoking little
clay pipes. Suddenly one of t'ue dwarfs
cried: "Some one is looking."
Then the light was extinguished and Carl
conld ee no more.
Alter a time there came a great change in
the forest. The grand, old trees withered
and died, the songs of the birds were no
SPEXT MAKT HOUBS ON
longer heard; instead of the sweet wild flow
ers grew rank and poisonous weeds, and the
ground was covered with such a dense
grim th of thorn bushes that no one ventured
beyond the limits of the meadoir. Carl,
who had once seen the dwar s, now won
dered what had become of bis little friend,
and il they still lived in this deserted place.
He spent mauy hours on the old log bridge
over the brook, peering eagerly into the
forest in hopes that he might again catch a
glimpse of the green caps and gray coats,
but without success, and he had about con
cluded that the dwar! s had gone in bearch
of a more pleasant abode. One day, when
he had gone to his favorite resting plac, a
small gray squirrel hopped on the end of
the log. not seeming the least alarmed at the
sight of the boy, but looked at him so be
seechingly that Carl was sure it wanted to
say: "Please do not morel rom the srot"
Curious to know what all this conld mean,
Carl sat very still and watched the antics ot
the squirrel, which rushed back and lorth
in a ery strange manner; now on top, now
under the log. Tnen the old bridge fell
gently into the water and floated down the
stream toward the forest, while the squirrel
ran along the bank, always keeping himself
in sight. In a few moments the log, as it
guided by an unseen hand, glided to the
shore. There, to the boy's great delight, in
a grassy spot, lree from thorns and bram
bles, were the dwarfs. One ot them, differ
ing from the others, in that he wore a white
coat and had a golden crown on his head,
advanced, and thus addressed Carl: "We
are in great distress and mnst seek the aid
of some true friend. For this reason we
have brought you in our realm, and we beg
that you will not refuse us your help."
Then all the dwarfs fell on their knees
and held out their hands so pleadingly to
Carl that he conld but promise to do as they
wished. The king then led the way to his
home among the rocks. And when they had
partaken of the dainty meal prepared for
them, be said:
"I shall now tell you the cause of our
trouble and how yon can help us. Several
years ago, when this barren land wis cov
ered with blooming trees and lovely flowers,
a race of swamp dwarfs, who are ugly and
cross, and who love nothing that is fair and
beau til ul, took np their abode in this forest.
They wishtd to destroy the stately oaks, and
have only sharp thorn bnshes and homely
weeds. But in our treasure chamber was a
gold ring, by which we had power over the
trees and flowers. So longas this wasin'our
possession the swamp dwarfs were powerless
to accomplish their evil designs. We
guarded the ring most carefully, placing it
in a room that was surrounded by seven
strong iron walls. One day a stranger came
to us, who pretended to be a cousin irom dis
tant lands, and brought us messages from
our friend-. Like us, he wore a green cap
and gray toat. Thinking no evil, we re
ceived him into our home and spared no
pains to entertain him. We told him of
our great wealth, and finally led him
into the treasure chamber, where we gave
him gi is of pearls and rubies. We
even snowed him the gold ring and ex
plained its wonderful power. As soon as
our guest had seen the ring, both he and it
vanished. Then we were in great distress;
for we knew that Igelborst, the king 01 the
swamp dwarfs, had sent one of his men to
steai our treasure. Onr beautiful forest
then disappeared, and you can see the other
direful changes which have taken place. If
we could but gain the ring Again, all wonld
be as lortnerly; but we are much too weak
to conquer this power ul king. Y u, how
ever, are large and strong, and could easily
force him to give up the ring. But it yon
do this or us, it must be done without hope
of reward; lor this must be the deed of a
friend."
When the King finished speaking there
was a dead silence in the room; but this
lasted only for a moment, and the dwar s
broke out into loud weeping, and begged
Carl that he "would restore their beautilul
home to them. Unable to resist thtir en
treaties, the boy promised to visit the king
dom of the swamp dwar s and demand the
ring. The gray squirrel was sent forward
as guide, and led the way through many
rough, thorny paths to the dwelling or Igel
borst. When Carl had crept through the
narrow entrance, he found himself iu a long
hall, in the middle ot which was a tiny
throne of gold and ivory. On this throne
sat the King of the swamp dwar s, holding
in his hand a jeweled scepter. Around
him were his subjects, hideout little creat
ures, with green eyes and crooked noses:
The King nodded kindly to Carl, and said.
A f
zBmSM
"I know why yon have come. The forest
dwarfs have sent yon, and yor think I have
taken some of the'ir treasure."
Carl gave assent to these remarks.
"Do not be deceived by their chatter,"
continued the King, "for I shall show yon
that I have no need of their few jewels."
He then said a few words to one of his
servants, who disappeared, but returned
alter a moment, carrying a large sack of
pearls.
"Here," said the King-, "accept this gift
from me, and have nothing more to do with
the wicked forest dwarfs."
But Carl paid no heed to these words. He
lifted cd, between his thumb and the finger,
"If you do not give me the gold ring be
longing to the forest dwarfs I shall take
your son with me, and you shall never see
him again."
Then the dwarfs began to 'weep and de
clare that they knew nothing about the
ring. But Carl remained firm, and would
not release his hold on the little dwarf.
Finally, Igelborst, who dearly loved his
son, ordered the ring to be brought and
given to Carl. "When he had received the
dwarfs' treasure, Carl left the long hall, and
again passed through the narrow entrance.
The squirrel was waiting,for him, and sped
along so rapidly that the boy conld scarcely
follow. The dwar.a were overjoyed to re
ceive their ring, and sent Carl home so
ladened with jewels-and gold that he was
richer than any count in the land. Now
the forest again began to bloom, the birds

to sing and the flowers to blossom. Sever
afterward did the dwarfs lose their ring,
and the old forest still affords rest and
shelter for the weary travelers.

A SHAKE BATTLE,
Terrible Encounter Beiwce-i Two Reptiles
12 nnd 9 Feet Long.
St. Iiouis Globe-Democrat,
A party of surveyors returning to Corpus
Christi, Tex., irom Brownsville, were sur
prised on making a sharp turn in the road
over a terrible commotion goiog on between
some large objects a lew hundred feetdistant
from them. The first thought was that some
wild beast had attacked a steer, but as there
was no sound audible except the noise oc
casioned by tbe wild lashing of the gronnd
by some living things, the commotion could
not be accounted for in tbat way.
Great volumes of dust filled the
air, shutting out every view, but,
by gradually drawing closer, it
was discovered that a fight was in progress
between two large snakes. On nearing
them their hissing could be distinctly heard,
ana tne manner in wnicn they "rushed
the fight would have done credit to a Prince
ton or Yale football ist Suddenly the
snakes, which were what are commonly
known as "bull," became aware of the
presence of the surveying party, when the
larger of the reptiles, with lightning-like
rapidity, caught tbe smaller snake with his
mouth just back ot the head, and, amid a
violent lashing of tbe ground, attempted to
carry it into the brush, in which it would
have been successful but for the volley of
bullets that was poured into their bodies by
the gentlemen of the party.
The snakes measured 12 and 9 feet re
spectively, were of- a dark brown color,
striped like a rattlesnake, with yellow
belly. It was an exciting and interesting
scene to see these two monsters lash and
coil their bodies around e.ic'n other in a
crashing embrace, their eyes looking like
small balls of fire, large jaws extended to
the utmost capacity, and with heads thrown
back, watching lor an opportunity to strike.
Some Mexicans to whom tbe ocenrrence was
related said tbat it was not uncommon to
witness snch fights as this one between
mnch larger snakes than these of this
soecies.

Tbe women never shared the family meal

THE WEDDING FEAST.
Significance of the Parable Which St.
Matthew Has Recorded.
HIS KING IS THE KING OP HEAVEN,
The Servants, Those Who Carry the Word
to Civilized and Pagan.
SIN BRLYGS 1T8 OWN rONISDlIENT
rWBITTEX FOE THX DISrATCH.J
My subject this morningis the story of a de
clined invitation. The story begins with
the invitation; we are told who they were
that declined it, and why they declined
it; and we are informed as to
what happened to them because they de
clined it, St. Matthew has recorded the
story in his twenty-second chapter.
The story is a parable. The word parable
means "laid alongside." A parable is a
storv which we are to lay alongside of the
story of our own Iivps. It gets its signifi
cance from that comparison. It is told just
for that purpose; that we may lay it along
side of our daily thinking and speaking, and
so learn something from it. Christ means
that in His parables we shall see ourselves
either as we are or as we may be. The
moral of every parable is "thou art the man."
The King in this parable is the King
of heaven. The Son is the Son of God.
The wedding feast is tbe blessed privilege of
communion with God, communion now on
earth, and after this life in heaven. The
wedding feist is the joy of the presence of
God. It is that which, entering into all the
higher and worthier pleasures ot life, makes
them pleasant. In all nobje literature, in
all beautiful painting and carving, in all
helpful speech, in all inspiring example,
in all association with men and women who
uplift us, ne draw near to God. God thinks
in all true thought, and lives in all true
-life.
MEANING OF THE FEAST.
Nothing in this world that is good, but is
good because God is in it. Wherever we
rise from any lower level to any higher
level we get nearer to God. That is what
the wedding feast means. Tbe invitation to
it is an invitation to better ourselves, to
make the most of ourselves, to think more
worthy thoughts and live more worthy lives.
And because tbe highest part ot our nature
is the spiritual part of us the soul and
the worthiest thinking of which we are
capable is meditation upon God, upon His
care for us, and our duty toward Him, and
the noblest of all ambition is to be like
God, as He is .revealed in His Son, the
wedding least means that especially. The
invitation to it is especially an invitation
to a deeper religious lile, to- an increase of
faith, of love, and of service, to closer
allegiance and disci pleship.
Thus the invitation and tbe wedding
feast mean a different thing to every differ
ent man. The wedding feast Is always that
worthiest dnty or happiest privilege which
is just next above us. To one it means the
curbing of an evil temper, to another the
culture of a spirit ot more generous help
fulness, to another tbe decisive act
of enrollment among Christ's con essed
disciples, to another the lilting of a saintly
life a little closer to thecross. That good
thing which you ought to do or to be next is
the wedding least. And becanse all dntv
and service and all aspiration culminate in
the life beyond this, the wedding feast is
heaven that closest presence of God which
we name heaven.
BEAEEES OF THE INVITATION;
Tbe servants are the ministers of God
who bear God's invitation to this wedding
feast. And that means that tbe servants
are all the helpful men and women in tbe
world. Everybody who is helping to uplift
anybody is God's servant, delivering His in
vitation. The call of God. to the wedding
feast comesto cvety human soul. Every
body is invited. Christ, the True Light,
lightcth every man that is born into the
world. By the voice of His servants with
out, and by the voice of His spirit within,
God speaks to every human soul.
Not one sonl in all the world
but is bidden to this banquet
of God. No soul of man may sav, "God
has never spoken to me, has never sent me
an invitation, has never called me." He
has. Every aspiration after what is better,
every longing after what is higher, is the
soul's answer to some call of God. Whoever
has seen the sky at night, or heard the ring
ing of church bells, or known anybody who
was better than himself, or looked into the
face of death, has heard a call from God.
J tie call of God divides men into two
great classes those who reluse and those
who follow it. The story, so tar as we will
study it to-day, concerns only one of these
great classes the refusers.
THOSE "WHO EEFDSED.
The servants bring back to the King an
answer from the invited guests: "They
would not come." Snch an answer is capa
ble of either one of two interpretations. It
may mean a sin, or it may mean a mistake.
It may mean rebellion, or it may mean
misnnderstanding.
The King is unwilling to believe that this
answer means rebellion. He suspends his
judgment, in the meantime.Jnterpreting it
as misunderstanding, for God is infinitely
patient with men; "strong and patient,"
the psalmist tells us, and "provoked," His
blessed patience sorely tried "every day."
We can never understand the mi'racle of
God's patience till we understand tbe mira
cle of God's love.
It is deeply significant, this suspension of
judgment, this . strong desire to think even
better of men than they deserve. By and
by, it is true, the King sends his armies,
bnt not yet. God is not man's taskmaster,
we must not think that. God is not the in
finite watchman looking upon the race with
eager eyes to spy out human short-coming.
God is man's friend the divine friend who
knows every man thoroughly; is kind in His
judgment; makes all possible allowance,
and is ever waiting to be gracious,
BLAMED THE SERVANTS.
The patient host attributes the declining
of the invitation to some misunderstanding.
Perhaps it is the fault of the servants. The
servants have made some error in the mes
sage. Either they have not made it plain
enough or they have forgotten some im
portant details of it. or they have so deliv
ered it as to take all the attractiveness and
welcome out of it, or perhaps tbey have
been altogether nniaith ul, and have not
delivered it at all. The King sends other
servants with another message, plainer and
more urgent, saying, "Tell them which are
bidden, behold, I bave prepared my dinner,
my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all
things are now ready. Come to the mar
riage." Some of God's invitations are declined
because they are misunderstood. And the
misunderstanding is very often the fault of
the servants. For God reveals truth to men
through men. Some truth God speaks
straight Himself to every human heart, but
other truth God teaches men throneh men.
In a certain sense the invitation to tbe
wedding least comes to every human soul,
to some wedding least, to some higher
service. In another sense, the invitation
comes only as God's servants bring it the
invitation to the knowledge of certain great
truths about GoJ, tbe invitation to the
service ot Gnd in tbe doing ot certain ac
ceptable duties, the invitation to tbe priv
ilege of God's help in His church to this
wedding least God sendslhe invitations by
His servants.
THE INVITATION LOST.
And sometimes the servants are ignorant
and do not know how to give the message
rightly, and sometimes they are umaithml
aud do not care to give it rightly, or to give
it at all. Thousands' die every day in
pagan lands, and in the pagan
wards of great cities, to whom
the Christian invitation has never
come. God knows that, ,and He knows
whose fault it is. To many others, the
Christian Invitation has- como with the mis
interpretation which the servants have put
upon it. This is God's mesge. they say,
aud then they declare something which they
honestly, perhaps, imagine to be God's mes
sage, but which is really not that message
at all. Some of the words are changed, the
emphasis is altered, something is left out,
or put in,, and the message is not God's
message.
And when this garbled invitation comes
to some bidden guest, he listens to it and
declines it. He misunderstands it He re
fuses to believe in God as we have preached
Him, or in the Church of Christ as we have
represented it. He may love God better than
we do. Hut we brine the invitation, and he
refuses it. And God knows why. God knows
whose fault it is. And one day when the
consummation of all things is at hand, when
the judgment is upon us, that hour of
great surprises, we will behold men going
into the kingdom of God, to the marriage
feast of heaven, whom here we accounted
far off from salvation, heretics and infidels,
to whom tbe servants came bringing God's
invitation, and they declined it; we will see
them entering in, and some of the servants
will be cast out. For God knows. God
judges every man with ner'ect justice.
THE SPIBIT OF REBELLION.
But the Servants come back and the King
learns that the answer in this case does not
mean misnnderstanding, bnt rebellion. A
rebellious temper is abroad. The feast is
taken as an occasion for displaying it. Or,
perhaps more truly, the invitation to the
feast discovers the rebellious spirit, makes
it visible lor the first tirnp even to the rebels
'themselves. They have lor a long time
lost all genuine loyalty, and now
all at once this spirit of dis
loyalty meets a crisis, comes into
the loreground, is seen to be alive and' real.
All rebellion awaits a crisis. When such a
crisis comes the thoughts of men's hearts
are revealed, the spirit of rebellion exists
in the heart as a vague unrest and discon
tentin solution, we may say. At last a
crisis comes; and this unrest and discontent
is at once precipitated out of solution into
visible and definite rebellion. The man for
tbe first time discovers his own disloyalty.
Such a crisis the call of God brings some
times into the spiritual lile. In the hearing
of some plain preaching ot the will ot God,
in the exhortation to a holy life, in the
presence of some sublime emergency, in the
lace ol some crushing sorrow, in the pain of
aisappointment or bereavement, the dis
loyal soul, which has thus far been
only vaguely and silently disloyal, may
snddenly turn rebel, may emphatically cry
"No" to this divine invitation, and may
make the great refusal. Every religious
revival, every recurrence of the annual ap
peal to the unconfirmed, every return of the
penitential seasons of Advent and Lent,
makes snch discoveries in men's souls. God's
invitation comes, and men defiantly de
cline it,
CAEELESSLT AND ABtTSIVELT.
The King's invitation encountered two
kinds ot unfavorable reception. Some de
clined it carelessly, and some abusively.
The first made light of it, and went their
ways, one to his larm, another to hia mer
chandise. These men put aside tbe King's
call, not because tbey particularly disliked
the King, but because then had other and
more attractive interests. These interests
were connected with the possession ol
wealth. One man bad made bis fortnne.
He owned a farm. He had a fine
estate in the country and a haud
some house upon it. These were
an immense pleasure and satisfaction
to him, and he cared for nothing further.
The other man had not made his fortune,
but was very buy constructing it. He bad
merchandise. He owned a store. He had
no interests outside of his counter and cash
book.
The whole mind of these men was occu
pied. One of them had no interest, the other
had no leisure for anything which could not
be set down on paper with a dollar mark at
the le't of it and added up into a sum of
large figures. There was no money in tbe
marriage feast, therefore tbey declined to go.
They listened to the invitation, perhaps re
spectlullv, at least silently, as men listen to
sermons, and they did not give it two sober
thonghts. In their hearts tbey made light
of it, and as soon as the invitation had been
given they turned about and went away in
just the opposite direction.
THE OTHEE CLASS.
"And the remnant took his servants and
treated them spitefully and slew them." It
seems almost incredible tbat men should
seize upon the bearers of a gracions invita
tion and misuse (hem, even to the extremity
of death. But it has happened again and
again. I can believe that Christ, in his
description of these two kinds of refusers
the careless and the vicious was looking
forward to tbe two kinds o work which would
tall to the lot of His servants work at
home, among the indifferent, and work
abroad in mission fields, among tbe violent
and the vicious. At any rate, the history of
Christain missnn from the beginning is fnll
of parallels with this abusive reception of the
message. When savage men in tbe South
killed Bishop Pattison and Bishop Han
nington, when savage men in the North
gouged the missionaries' eyes out and put
red coals in the bleeding sockets, they re
enacted the story of the parable.
The men who killed the King's servants
hv way of more emphatic declination of the
King's invitition were not careless men.
tbey were wicked men. They are not found
only in the mission field; they live in every
parish. They are men who find no place
for tne King's feast in their lives becanse
their lives are full of evil passions.
THE KINO AROUSED.
By these two kinds of men, by the indif
ferent and the vicious, the divine call to the
wedding'least, no matter what dutyor priv
ilege that may mean lor them, is wilfully
declined. But then came anger, and
armies and destruction. Punishment fol
lowed refusal. For re usal to accept God's
invitation is sin. I say that because some
people do not seem to understand it.
There are some who would seem to think
that the only failure which God punishes is
the failure which follows an attempt to obey
Him, and that failure to even make that
attempt is not regarded by Him. It is
a sin to take the vows of Christian disciple
ship and then break them. But is it no sin
never to enrol onesseli among Christ's dis
ciples at all? It is a sin to partake of the
sacrament of the Lord's Supper unworthy.
Bnt is it no sin to disobey Him altogether
who said "Do this in remembrance of me?"
To decline God's invitation to tbe marriage
feast, to be aware of a dnty undone and to
make no effort to do it, to be conscious of
possibilities which you are making no en
deavor to develop, to see an ideal and to be
approaching no nearer to it, this is sin.
THE SIN OF OJIISSION.
And all sin will certainly be punished.
All sin of commission or of omission, will
certajnly be punished. But not with arms,
not "with destrnction, not with burning.
Sin is its own punishment. Tbe punish
ment which God will inflict upon every one
who leaves his invitation unaccepted is the
loss of the pleasure which the accepting of
the invitation would have brought. The
punishment of not seeing is blindness. The
punisbmeut of not endeavoring after a
higher ideal is tbe degradation of living
upon a lower level. The punishment of not
thinking is the loss of tbe ability to think.
The punishment of putting God out of a
man's lile is the living a lile without God
in it.
The careless men went to their farms and
their merchandise. The vicious men washed
their murderer hands and weut back to their
own perpetual quarrels. Tnev had their
reward. They made their choice and God
gave it to them. But how different it
might bave beenl Their reward whs their
punishment. George Hodoes.

HOW TO COOK BEANS.

for
THE PRIDE OP ALL BOSTONIANS.
Grays Danger in the Leguminous Food if
Hot Thoroughly Done.
STORI FE0M A T0DKG WIPE'S EITCHEIT
rWKITTSN VOK TUB BISPAICH.l
Beans when properly prepared and cooked
are admittedly wholesome food, and, not
only wholesome, but palatable, appetizing
and agreeable; but when improperly cooked
they are not only unpalatable but are dan
gerously unwholesome. The rule still holds
here that the commonest foods are those
which require the most care in their prepara
tion. Many a woman who prides herself
in her skill in pastry, has in the aequisition
of a comparatively unnecessary part of her
duty neglected the more "weighty matters
ol the law" and may we not consistently
add, of the profits? The lack of this more
important, although it may be rudimentary,
knowledge, has within the experience of
many a housewife, been tbe cause of morti
fication and chagrin.
It is related of a young housekeeper,
unskilled in culinary affairs, who wishing
to gratify her husband, a Bostoman, with a
dish of baked beans, consulted her servant
as to the manner in which thev should be
cooked, but was somewhnt surprised to
learn that the servant was as ignorant of
the matter as herself. It occurred to them
that beans were sent frequently by private
families to the baker's to be cooked in an
oven. Happy in the satisfaction of having
solved the difficulty, a new bean pot was
purchased, filled with dried beans, and cov
ered with n nice piece of pork.
HIGH HOPES BLASTED.
With a light heart the servant carried
them to the nearest baker, leaving her mis
tress in pleasing anticipation of crisp pork
and mealy beans, "done to a turn." In a
lew minutes, the servant, to the sumrise ot
the lady, returned carrying tbe bean-pot,
and betraying in ber manner the utmost in
dignation. "The baker," she said, "only
looked in the pot, and got mad, aud shouted
' 'Go home, you fool, and boil your
beans!"' It had not occurred to either of
them that the preliminaries of soaking and
boiling-most essential requisites bad bees
omitted.
Beally the most important thing in regard
to this subject is to coot thoroughly. Under
done beans are really dangerous. A doctor
was hastily summoned one day to attend a
child who was suffering untold agonv with
bis stomach. He said at once the child bad
eaten something that did not agree with
him. The mother recollected that she had
served some beans underdone, and told the
doctor of it. A piercing yell from the suf
ferer caused tbe mother to cry out, "What
is the matter with my boy?" The doctor
calmly replied, "Beans!"
PREPABINO AND COOKING.
Beans, both green and dried, may be
cooked in many ways, but in whichever way
they are cooked there are certain rules to be
observed closely if they are to be eaten in
perfection. Green beans should be shelled
or strung (by breaking off both ends, string
ing, and paring botb edges with a sharp
kniie), put to soak in cold salt water at
least half an hour before cooking; they
should then be drained, put into boiling
water, with a little salt, and cooked rapidly
till tender. Tbey may be dressed with but
ter, salt and pepper, with cream or milk and
a thickening of butter and flour, or they may
be cooked with salt meat, Tbe time required
for cooking is about one hour.
Dried beans should be picked over care
lully, and soaked in cold or tepid water,
according to their age or harvest, from six
to 21 hours. In no instance must the soak
ing be neglected. They should be put to
cook in cold soft water about four quarts
of water to one quart of beans and sim
mered slowly for two or three hours, or ti!l
tender enough tn press readily between tbe
fingers. They may be boiled or baked with
any kind ot fresh or salt meat; tbey may
be boiled plainly and seasoned with salt
and pepper, or tbey may be dressed like
green beans.
A slice'of bacon cooked with beans of
any kind, or a little salt meat drippings
added, will impart a good flavor and im
prove their taste. If cooked in plenty of
water tbey will not require stirring, and-by
tms means tney will oe woole, teuder and
mealy. Above all, cook the beans till they
are done, or direful mar be the result.
Below are some concise directions for good,
wholesome dishes:
BOSTON BASED BEANS.

dish.
Scrape or cut tbe corn from the cob, and to
two-thirds corn add one-third beans.

water as possible, add the corn and boll 20
mi antes longer.

one-half cupful or butter.

best at the ninth warming."

tli Uonse Commons.
Pall Mall Undget.3
The Speaker of the House of Commons was
one the guests at the dinner of tbe Edmond-
scote district of the Man
chester Unity of Odd
Fellows, held at the
town hall, Leamington,
the other night. Be
sponding to the toast of
tbe Houses of Parlia
ment, the Speaker said
he saw before him the
symbols of Odd Fellow
ship. Tbe House of
Commons, too, had a
mace such as he saw
there, and if he might
diverge for a moment he
should like to tell them
a story of tbe mace of
tbe Honse of Commons.'
There were three his
torical maces of the
House of Commons.
When Charles I. met his death on the
scaffold the mace of the House of Com
mons disappeared, and none knew what
had become of that ancient symbol of
authority. Cromwell ordered another
mace to be made, and tbat mace was
placed on the table of the House ot Com
mons, and was the "bauble" which be or
dered to be removed from tbe table of tbe
House on a famous historical occasion. That
mace had also disappeared. A rumor was
going about that there was at Kingston, in
Jamaica, a mace which purported to he
either "the bauble" itself or a copy of it
Within the last few days, members of the
House having taken an interest in the sub
ject, he had, through the kindness of the
Colonial Secretary, Lord Knutsford, writ
ten to the authorities at Kingston, Jamaica,
for the real history of the mace, and though
be supposed it might be difficult to get it
back again if it were the real mace, at
least tbey could get a copy of it, because it
would be interesting to keep among tbe
relics of the House of Commons.
Tbe third mace, which he had tbe honor
of seing before bim very often, was made
in 1660, on the restoration of Charles II.,
and he hoped it would not disappear from
the table of the House, and would have a
long and glorious career before it. We give
here a sketch ot the mace to which the
Speaker alludes, which was made by the
kind help of Mr. W. H. St. John Hope, the
well-known
,.r,9SaS0SlliS,S
discoverer
the real "bauble" mace was Thomas
Maundy, It was first used in 1649, jun
aiter the execution of Charles I., and iu 1660
a new head and a new foot were made for it.

Harper's Weekly.1
After seeing the backward and semi-barbarous
conditions of life in the Pacific ports,
one is agreeably surprised to find in the
pampa the refinements of a London drawing
room and the amusement of an English
conntry bouse. No more striking example
could be found of tbe English facnlty of
transplanting a bit of English into the midst
of the desert than the honses of tbe pampa
of Tamarugal. In the pampa the manager
of an oScina and his assistant, almost ex
clusively Englishmen, are lodged in a honse
provided and kept np by the proprietors,
whether individuals or companies, and orm
together a more or less numerous family,
Comprising very often two or three ladies
and some children. Some of these houses
are handsomely tnrnished, lighted with elec
tricity, provided with every comlort that
an exacting Englishman can demand, and
adapted for offering ample hospitality to vis
itors, who are always welcome.
In tbe drawing room tbe ladies exercise
the same refining influence as thev would at
home; in the dining room the table is served
with English correctness; in the bedrooms a
stock of novels with the familiar stiff board
covers and sensational pictures ot passionate
heroines offers a soporific to tbe nneasy
sleeper: otber illustrated papers and maga
zines and the ubiquitous Punch are seen
lying in handy places; indeed, it Mr. Da
M.iurier happened to be banished to
the pampa of Tamarugal he could
still continue to find types and inci
dents lor his drawings: athletic Englishmen
wearing clothes that fit them, aud young
ladies that play lawn tennis in provokingly
coquettish costumes, and ride like Amazons
across the dusty plains to pay visits in the
neighboring establishments. Certainly lile
in the pampa la far Irom being gay, but
nevertheless these healthy and strong-willed
English exiles of industry seem to be qnite
happy, a fact to which the delightful cli
mate doubtless contributes not a trifle.
The new hospital for women in conjunction
with the London School o! Medlolno lor
Women is open now and In working order,
forming a most valuable and needed adjunct
to tbe school.
