Arabi's Greed.

A CeylOn correspondent Of the San
Francisco Chronicle writes: l asked why
it was not MOhammed himself who would
appear again and join his followers to
those of Christ? He said: ''Mohammed can
not reappear; he is dead" "But is not
Christ similarly dead?' "NO; Christ
never died. There are two men who
never died-Elias and Jesus. He still
moves about the world, having the power
to make himself invisible. Elias found
the water of immortality in a cave, and
drank of it and cannot die. But Mo-
manned is in Paradise" Arab could
not explain how it was that expectation
of the near appearance of the coming
prophet and of Christ should be unIver-
sal in the MOslem world just now. 1t
was evident that Arab himself shared
the expectation, which is of a kind gen.
orally born in believing nations in the
time of their defeat and humiliation.
Having not the least doubt of the eX-
istence of their deity, they fix on their eX-
tremity as his opportunity. As Arab,
whom l knew to be a master in Islam,
seemed to look forward for the conversion
Of nations from idOlatry by the coming
prophet, | thought it possible that some
thing more mercitul than that of the
Koran, concerning the heretical religions,
might have been developed in Egypt.
L was surprised 10 ma Arab an IQtleXl-
bic Puritan. 'Allah is the merciful: he
will forgive all crimes and all wrOng-dO-
ings, excepting only worship of other
gods than himself" "What of Buddha
and of all his millions of worshipers in
the past, many of whom never heard of
Allah? Gle is in hell and his worshipers
also, and all these Buddhsts will 20 to

eyes" 'What of little children brought
up in a false worship for which they are
in nOwise respOnsible?' ''Such children

hell; they will go to Al Araf, quarter
provided tor them near Paradise, when
they will be instructed IN the true belief.
They will ultimately enter Paradise, but
will have no definite place there; they
will be like people fin a foreign land"
This similitude struck me much, and /
think its peculiar appropriateness oc-
Cured to him, for he glanced around with
sad eye at the waving palms and luxu-
RANT scenery of what might have been a
paradise could his heart have sung it's
happy song in a strange land. The calm
dedication Of egotsm by a powerful
man, his unquestioning, unqualifying
worship of deity who can forgive all
crimes against mankind sooner than a
ceremonial slip about himself, was to me
depressing enough.

London Standard.

To many people cOrpulence is so serious
an inconvenience that the appearance in
an English dress of DR.. Ebstein's much
talked-of treatise on the cause and cure of
obesity may revive hopes which the prac-
teal failure of other systems had almost
quenched. He knows he is right, and is
not afraid to say so. Mr.. Banting's die
tary, though irksOme, was not ascetic, but
to many patients it was so weakening that
for one who has been relieved by it do
zen have experienced actual injury. 1t is
easy to become thin by not taking suffi-
cient food to supply the waste which is
continually going on. though IN this ease
the cure is worse than the disease. Prof.
Ebstein scOrns all such treatment. He
will have nothing in the shape of starva-
ton remedies, because while we are starv-
ing we sacrifice albumen as well as fat,
and the loss of fat during famine causes
anamia, which demands Compensation in
the shape of a more plentiful diet, in itself
likely to lead to a still greater accumula-
ton of the very substance of which it is
desired to get rid. Equally useless and
inadequate, in his opinion, are the various
drink cures, be they hot or cold. Prof.
Ebstein agrees with Mr.. Banting in adYO-
eating regimen alone as the only safe cure
for an inconvenience which most ire
quently results from too much food. But
he adopts a dietary widely different from
that prescribed by Mr.. Banting, or rather,
by DIR. Harvey, the practitioner whose
maxIms that gentleman enlarged and
made his own.
The crucial difference is on the question
Of eating fat. Fat is the sheet-anchor OF

In the last installment of Capt. Mayne
Reid's story, 'The Land of Fire" in the
May st. Nicholas, occurs the following
interesting account OF native methods of
hunting in TERRA del Fuego:
Besides the hdrmdUr guanaco), they
hunt the hidppO sea otter and the COW
pOu, or South American beaver. which is
also found in TERRA del FuegO. The chase
of the otter takes place out in the open
water, where the amphibious animal is
surrounded by the well trained dogs, in a
wide circle; they then close in upon it,
diving whenever it goes under, to prevent
its escape through the enfilading ring.
'sIn hunting the hdTmGUr. or, as they
also call it, lcGnGkGye (eYidenly a cOrrup-
ton of 'guanacO'), one of their modes is
to lie in wait for it on the limb of a tree
which projects over the path taken by
these animals, the habit of which is to
follow one another in single file, and
along old, frequented tracks. Above
these, among the branches, the Tekenika
hunter builds a sort of matched staging
or nest. Seating himself on this, he
awaits the coming of the IunsuspiciOus
creature: and, when it is underneath,
plunges his spear down between its ribs
the blade of the spear being bone taken
from some former victim Of its own

HOW FORTUNE COMES.
1t is Often by Chance.
C6qaab os.e' -To,y,as,,tJ

Years will often elapse before a doctor
gets any return for the money which his
friends invested in obtaining his diploma.
On the other hand, single fortunate
case may bring patients by the score.
About twenty years ago, a young doctor
who had been established three years in
London without making an income, lost
heart, and determined to emigrate to
Australia. He sold his small house and
furniture, paid his passage money, and a
week before his ship was to sail, went
into the country to say good bye to his
parents. HavingtO change trains at a
junction, he was waiting on the platform,
when a groom in smart livery gallOped
up to the station, and, calling eX-
citedly to a porter, handed him a tele-
graphic message for transmission. From
some remarks exchanged between the two
men, the young Decor understood that
the Duke of -, a member of the Cabi-
net, had fallen dangerously i'll, and that
an eminent physician in London was be-
ing telegraphed for. The groom added
that he had ridden to the houses of three
local doctors, who had all been absent,
and that ''her Grace was in a terrible
way.' The young doctor saw his oppor-
tunity, and at once seized it. 81 am
medical man, he said to the groom, "and
l will 90 to the hall to offer my assistance
I'LL dHObuCi QOCIOE arrives. 1uG GIOOm
was evidently attached to his master, for
he said: Jump on my horse, sir, and ride
straight down the road for about four
miles; you can't miss the hall; ANY one
will tell you where it is" The doctor
went, was gratefully received by the
Duchess, and happened to be just in time
to stop a mistake in treatment of
the patient, which might have proved
fatal if continued for a few hours longer.
The Duke was suffering from typhoid
fever; and when the eminent physician
arrived from town he declared that the
young doctors management of the case
had been perfect. The result of this was
that the latter was requested to remain
AZ the hall to take charge of the patient,
and his name figured on the bulletins
which were issued during the next fort
night, and were printed in all the daily
newspapers of the kingdom. Such an ad-
tisement is always the making of a medi-
cal man, especially when his patient re-
covers, as the Duke did. Our penniIess
friend received a fee of 500 guineas; took
a house at the West End, and from that
time to this has been at the head of one of
the largest practices in London.

THE FURY OF AN ITALIAN MOB
The Curious Way in Which They Tried
to Get RainsfOr Their Crops.

rome Letter in Boston Herald.
The long drought that has prevailed in
Southern Italy was beginning to work even
worse effects on the minds of the country
people than on the crops themselves. Iras-
chile and eXcitable enough at best, such
niggardly treatment at the hands of the
heavenly powers was fast exciting a revO-
lutionary fury that BODIED mischief OF the
wrathful temper growing ripe, judge from
the following incident: A lady who has
just come here from Sicily, told me that in
a village near Taormina, where she was
staying, the peasants, in their despair,
took out of the sacristy an old and rather
dilapidated image of the Virgin, and had
it handsomely regilded. as showing a dis
position on their part to do the generous
thing by her, and so make sure of her
help. Then, forming Il procession, men,
women and children went out to neigh
boring hill, the priests bearing the sacred
image under canopy, and spent several
hours in loud 0utcries for rain. The pO-
sltlon was favorable one for the blessed
lady to see just what the state of affairs
was throughout the whole parched and
gaping surrounding country, and to rob
her of every excuse that she had been shut
up in the sacristy and knew nothing about
1T. Then, the service over, all marched
| back to their homes, and the Yenerated
image was reverentialIy restored to its
place.
The first day followed, and still no rain,
then second, then third. This was too
much for human patience, and when the
fourth day came, dry and arid as before,
the popular fury broke loose. Storming
the sacristy, the cruel image was torn
down, rope tied round its neck and then
dragged for two hours through every dirty
street Of the village, the children hOOting,
the dogs barking and the men and women
heaping blows aud imprecatiOns on it..
As final mark of hatred, a swampy place
was sought out, in which little water
remained, and into this was thrown the
| hard-hearted and ungrateful lady. All
were determined on one point, namely, to
give her soak, even if she would not
give them one in turn, and to let the
heavenly powers understand, so far as
kicks and curses would express it, just
what the inhabitants of that village
thought of them. Strange enough, the
day after this outbreak of fury rain actu-
ally fell. Then an equal reaction toward
remOrse set in. The image was reVeren-
TALLY taken out of the ditch, money raised
to repair and regild it, and a service of
thanksgiving offered for IFS celestial aid
