SUNDAY THOUGHTS
ON
MORALS MANNERS
BY A CLERGYMAN.
lwR1rrrN ron THE D1spArcH.l ]

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATCH.1
| Those materialists who imagine that
Christianity is spent force, playing at life
to serve as the retreat Of selfish place-men,
must have had this notion rudely jostled by
the case of the Belgian priest, Father Da-
mien, just dead in the Sandwich Islands.
He went as a missionary to Honolulu in
1864, at the age of "a. He found that lep-
rosy was prevalent disease. On account
of the danger of infection, the lepers were
Isolated in separate community at Molo-
kai. Here, cut off from social intercourse
with others, subjected to the slow rot OF
hopeless ailment, deprived of mental ana
moral ministrations, these incurable sufferers
lived as the swine live. Their village was
stye. Without marriage, the sexes horded
sCgntner and propagated tepeTs; ~ Was SS the Se
Imagination of Dante.
Well, this intrepid young priest selected TINS
place as his field of labor. He went dellber-
ateey, knowing the cost, aware that he must
inevitably contract the disease and die leper
For l6 years he dwelt In this CHASTITY COM
munity-dylng by inches; and he has Just gone
TO heaven out of it. He found Moloka1 per-
dition; he left it an intellectual and moral
community, with schools and churches and an
honest domestic life. He found squalor; he
left cleanliness. He met despair; he departed
taught his hapless flock patience here and hope
hereafter
What does unbel1ef make of such career?
Where, when, has it matched it? Here we
have living and breathing proof that Chris
tlanity is not a poem, strain of music, the
beautiful dream of a Sunday, mere text for a
romantic sermon. No poem is as grand as
Father Damien's self-sacrifice, no strain OF
music is so sweet, and no dream SO heavenly.
1t is said that this is a sporadic case 1t Is
true that such heroes do not march in battal-
ions. But they always arise with the need.
Witness this very case. Father Conrady is al
by the translated saint And two new vofun-
teers are even now en- route to REINFORCE and
cooperate with him-the one, another priest
also Belgian, Father Wsndolin Moellers; the
other, an accomplished young woman, Miss
Nellie Flavia, who goes to devote her life to
the service of Gods afflicted children. May
these not say with Paul: Il live-yet not /,
but Christ liyeth in me-"

IN Webster's Dictionary, under the
word asparagus. this note occurs;
This word va formerly pronounced sparrow
gr-lss. blt this pronunciation : now eonfi1od ex
elasisely 10 uneduoated people
Walkers English Dictionary quotes
authority 10 show that not only WAS as
paragus commonly called sparrow
grass" in England. even by educated
persons. al the beginning Of this cen
tury, but cucumber" was pronounced
scowcumber" These two pronuncia-
ticns passed out Of use both in England
and America, until now few people use
them.
The marketmen in the great cities and
their enyirons, however, still cling quite
tenaciously to sparrow grass. which
they shorten up 10 grass" as matter Of
convenience.
is that nice asparagus?" a customer
asks.
Yes, that's very good grass" answers
the marketman, with an emphasis on the
grass" as if 10 notify his customer that
he knows what the vegetable IS properly
called, and in his next bill the market
man puts down this charge:
lunches grass O l5c....-......-..-6O
For the pronunciation "cOwcumber"
there is some excuse, as the word comes
to Us through the French, in which Ian
guage it was formerly coucombre, and is
now concombre. The German word
kukummer WAS dropped in English for
the French one, the English deriving
nearly ali their words for salads and the
nicer table dishes from the French.
But for the word sparrow grass, IS
applied 10 asparagus, there IS absolutely
no excuse. 1t is a sheer corruption Of
the word asparagus. The sparrows are
not particularly fond of the seeds of the
ripened asparagus, nor is it a grass in
any sense.
The asparagus, indeed, belongs to the
lily family, like certain other edible
vegetables. 1t is certainly no new dis
covery, for the word is Greek, and means,
according TO some etymologists, "to
swell with sap or juice" and asparagus
was eaten and much esteemed by the
Romans.-Youth's Companion.

CataiCDtic Animals.

All the bUrrowing animals are in a
state Of catalepsy and live for months in
state Of apparent death. Frogs have
been taken from solid sandstone, after
being imbedded for many years, and re-
suscitated. How many men are cata-
leptic in the last stages Of life is y matter
which the doctors know scarcely more
about than other people. And yet in
medical colleges poor men are snatched
up almost before they are cold for pur-
poses of operative surgery. Paupers and
prisoners who have no friends are not
asked as to their viii in the matter. but
are quickly appropriated for purpose Of
dissection. New Orleans Picayune.

THE STOCK TRANSFERRED.
The Mexico Fire. Brick and Stove
Inning Company Exists, but
in Other Hands.

The management of the Mexico
Fire Brick and Stove-lining CON-
pany, better known Is the Salam-
ander company, passed into other
hands Monday morning. The old
name will of curse be continued,
and under the new management
work will at once be commenced.
Mr.. c. Dixon, formerly superin-
tendent, will have charge of the
works; IN fact, he assumed control
that morning. Only a dozen men
are now employed, but this force
will be quickly increased 20 fifty,
and possibly, to one hundred. The
new stockholders in the company
are VIM, Dickinson, J. W. Diekin,
son, G. Dixon, NJ. F. Dickinson
and Mrs. S. B. Cook. These per.
sons also constitute a Board of Di.
rectors..
Jasper Bass Monday morning
gave the company an option for thir,
ty days on several lots lying jus;
east of the works. There is no doubt
but that the lots will be bought a,
once, as Mr.. Dixon says room for
the erection of more kilns, sheds
and a stack will be needed. The
pond just south of the works will
be filled and the room utilized.
The water supply will come from
the water-works.
The "Salamander'' is now on its
feet and will stay there.

DR., Pauuin's Condition.

Writing to DR.. T. E. White, OF
SedaIia, Paul Paquin has the fol-
lowing to say of his condition:
~ am about the same. Lynn
phatics and glands indurated about
middle of humerus; right foot be-
gins to hurt about ankle. However,
have less fever than | had and feel
somewhat better to-day. Drs.
Greenway and Gains assure me OF
success"
DR.. White is an eld-time friend Of
DR.. Paquin, and feels a deep inter
est in his condition. There is nc
doubt, he says, but that the gentle
man is suffering with a genuine case
of CHAMBERS, as the tubercle on his
arm, which was cut off a few days
ago, has returned. DR.. White says
the case is a serious one; and he has
doubts about the patients recovery.

Large numbers of people are
said to be going into Oklahoma
every day, although by SO dong
they forfeit their right to settle
there when the country is opened
for settlement. There IS no need
to hurry to get into that country
because the majority of the first
settlers will be just as anxious to
get out after a year or so as they
now are to get in. and claims can
then be purchased tor less than the
