THE COMMUNION SIPHoN.
Invention of a Cup Whose Purpose Is
TO Prevent Trans mission of Disease.

The recent death OF cancer patient
as the result of inuculation and the rec
ognitinn that consumption is contagious
has suggested the possibility OF danger
i'll the coRlinon use OF one cup in the
administration uf the communion.
1t is known that many partake whose
PHI ysical condition demands individual ser
vice, and there are some whu are deprived
OF this blessing frunl sense of Justice TO
other cuninunicants. 1t is an Interesting
question whether the church is exempt fruIn
the regulations of medical science in view
of this transmission or disease made possi-
bic by a collective use of one cup.
Atany rate, the individual cup no W largely
used, has met with considerable opposition
because OF its apparent exclusiveness. To
obyiate this objection, a communion siphon
has been devised. Which retains the idea OF
unity and fellowship, in the presentation
of one cup, effectually prevents the trans
mission of disease, and has a cleanliness
which makes IL most attractive. 1t is in
tended for individual use. The wine can be
freely drawn from the cup, but, owing TO
It's formation, not one drop touching the
lips can return. 1t is easily cleansed and
is of pure silver, ST. that no unpleasant taste
is communicated. The cup is arranged in
two parts, inclused in a leather case OF
small dimensions, and Conveniently carried.

His wedding Fee.

The pastor OF prominent church iu q
city of New York was discussing with one
+ his country parishioners the subject Of
ministerial salaries.
- The parishioner insisted that his pastor
must be laying aside great portinn of his
salary-which, by the way, was not large
as city salaries go-and when the minister
attempted to explain that there were many
demands for money on a man in his position
the farmer intimated that the wedding
fees for year would amount to tidy
sum. Unable to dIsabusc the farmers mind
of this Impression, the minister asked him
what he would give for the first four
marriage fees.
The farmer repSed: Il will give you
the best COW on my place." 1t was a year
when cows We're worth two OF three times
the price they have been bringing this
season.
1T is a bargain said the minister.
In few weeks the first wedding party
arrived. As soon as they were gone the
minister drove out to see his parishioner.
Il have come tn pay the first installInent
on the price OF that cow" The preacher
went out to bis carriage, returned with a
covered basket, and, opening it, disclosed
two small puppies.

STARVING PARIS DOCTORS.
Free Hospitals Cut Into the Practice
of Many Good Physicians.

A double suicide which shocked Paris the
other day brought TO the attention or the
public. the financial straits in which, it is
said, the majority of the physicians of that
city live
DR.. Arnaud de Langlard, an old physician
who had been decorated by the government
for brave conduct during the cholera epi-
denic many yearS ago, committed suicide
with bis wife because his practice had
dwindled to the vanishing point and starva-
ton was staring them in the face.
In commenting upon the tragedy several
newspapers asserted that in Paris not more
than one doctor out OF five ia able to make
more than the barest living.
Among the causes of this poverty among
physicians Is the destitution of most of their
patients. Medical science has made such
great strides. too, that maladies of all sorts
are more quickly cured. and such precau
tons are taken to prevent the spread of
contagious diseases that epidemics are be-
coming practically unknown.
The number of doctors, on the other
hand. has rapidly increased. Another rea-
son why there is not practice enough to go
around is that in many of the hospitals peo-
pie can be treated for nothing or at a very
nominal figure. Many of these hospitals
have training schools, which are free In
which are taught the rudiments of medi
cine and surgery. These schools are largely
attended, and many sick people are taken in
hand at their own homes by some member
of the family who has profited by this IN
structiOn.

QninCYs PhysioCnOmY.

Josiah Quincy's countenance Is remark
ably appropriate for pictorial exhibition.
It is grave, serious, impassive and far
gazing; the face OF an astronomer or a born
poker player. In 1t the severity OF the
Massachusetts patriciau Is modified by the
tolerance of the politician familiar with the
avenues 81 with the alleys of statesman
ship in Boston, New York and Washington.
The hair 10 well massed; falls well,
as the BARRIERS say. The forehead reveals
the man OF practice and the man of thought.
The eyes have the remote affability of the
Sphinx. They are what might be called
listening eyes, the eyes of the man who
would have been bored by a hundred
thousand patriots thirsting for consulships
and postma sterships were he not able to
lose on proper occasions tho art OF hearing
with his ears, and to satisfy the impurtune
solicitor with 4 bland and intent gaze.
The cars are graceful. The mustache,
neither too heavy nor too light, ripples
noiselessly over a mouth and chin which.
unlike those OF Mr.. Quincy's distinguished
classrnste, Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, are
self-closing. In short, comely and even
decorative physiognomy, worthyfof pho
tographs and biilboards, and calculated to
excite pleasant emotions in the passer-by
who looks upon it.-Ncw York Sun.

HER BRIDAL VEIL ABLAZE.
Unusual Omen of G oOd Luck ut w led
ding in a St. Louis Church

St. Lonis GlObe-DemOcrat.
Mrs. Mary Coleman Barnidge, who up TO
yesterday was Miss Mary Coleman, ought
to be the recipient of all kinds OF good luck
during the rest of her life. There is d
tradition that If q brides clothing catch
fire at the altar, without resulting in bodily
injury to the wearer, she will prosper ever
after.
Miss Coleman, daughter of DR.. Edward
E. Coleman of 416S Manchester avenue,
was married Thursday morning at $50
O'Clock to Frank ]. BarDidge, at st. Cronin's
Church. Just at the conclusion of the mass,
which followed the marriage ceremony,
the brides veil, of white tulle, which en-
yeIoped her whole figure, took fire from
a candle on the altar and burned up in a
flash. With rare presence of mind, Father
O'Leary clasped the burning veil in his
hands and cxtinguished the blaze.
The church was filled with relatives
and friends and interested specta tors.
The blaze was OF momeDtary duration, but
as all eyes were turned on the bridal pair,
it was witnessed by nearly everybody in
the church, and it created a very exciting
scene The brides father was standing
about ten feet away, and although appalled,
by the sight Of his daughter wrapped in
flames, he sprang forward to smother the
blaze. Father O'Leary, however, had
effectuaIly checked its progress by the
time he reached her side. \ lady who
was standing near screamed. others pre-
pared to rush forward, and except for the
prompt action of the priest, panic would
have ensued in the church.
The audience was dismissed in proper
form, and the bridal party wended its
way out of the church, while members
of the audience spoke in sympathetic
terms of the accident.

Five Thousand Animals Gathered Up
in State of Washington.
Spokesman-Review-
Five thousand horses in a single bunch,
rearing, running, snorting and Shying, urged
on by two score picturesque Indian and
half-breed riders, sending into tue air
cloud of dust that envelopes and partly con-
ceals the vast band of cayuses as the riders

their base stretches forward dense black
area of timber, and in the foreground the
rolling prairie of the valley of the Pend

but above the mountains snow sclouds hover,
and the rocky peaksare already y silvered with
the first white covering OF the year.
For five days these bronze riders have
secured dthenorthern range ofthe reservation,
driving before them every horse that was
found in this long stretch of country. They
have ridden across the rolling ground of
the lower valley; they have secured the
canons; they have penetrated the dense TIM
Der Of the foothills; they have climbed to the
open parks on the mountain side. From
valley and canon and hillside, they have
driven the half-wild horses. and have
gathered them on the banks of the Pend
d. Oreille River for the cutting out.
Five thousand tossing heads, ten thousand
vicious eyes, twenty thousand tramping
