THE INDIVIDUAL COMMUNION CUP.
The First Baptist Church is the First in
the South to Adopt It.


the South to Adopt 1t.
1.-THE individual communion SER
vice, adopted by the First Baptist
church, is fast gaining popularity
remarked a we'll known church
member to a LIGHT reporter. "The
idea of the individual cup was
first suggested by a prominent
doctor of the north. While he was
attending a communion service
several years ago, he noticed that
one Of his patients, whom he was
treating for blood-poison, drank
from the cup, which was passed
around. He afterward wrote an
article for a medical journal, COM
menting on the danger Of conta.
gious diseases, which is imminent
by this custom, and the article at
tracted general attention.
"Dr. Forbes, OF the First Baptist
church, OF Rochester, N. Y, was
the first to conceive the idea and
suggested it to his congregation.
1t was met with approval and
adopted. Other churches followed
and now many churches Of the
north and east of different denomi.
nations have adopted 1t.
""The Firt Baptist church of this
city is the first in the south to
adopt the custom.
"Some claim that Individual cups
destroy the sentiment of unity
that attaches to the single chalice.
This, however, seems to be a wrong
idea, for il there had been any dan
ger Of this kind it would have
been manifested when the
churches began to use, as a matter
of convenience, two, ten or even
thirty cups. Da Vinci, the cele.
brated historic painter Of Italy,
in his famous work, The Las
Supper represents the Saviour
and his disciples at the Paschal
feast, with each disciple supplied
with an individual portion of bread
and an individual vessel of sacred
wine.
at is a we'll established fact tina
Christian people are ready to &C
cept changes in religious obser
vances when good and substantial
reasons are given"

SEA WATER FOR LONDON.
Plans for Bringing 1t From Long Dis
lance for street Cleaning.

Plans for Bringing 1t From a Long Dis
lance for street Cleaning.
From the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Some years ago an act of parliament
was passed Incorporating company
to supply sea water to London. Just
as the construction of the works was
to begin 1t was found that so many APP
plications for the water had been made
by parish authorities, hotelkeepers and
others that the pipe would be entirely
inadequate to deliver the quantity de-
sired. New plans were accordingly
drawn up and were described at a re-
cent meeting of the Society of Arts.
The first English city to employ sea
water for municipal purposes was Ryde
and the next was Tynemouth; since
then about twenty have laid special
salt water pipes and all have found the
use of sea water advantageous. the
experience of sea water for street
sprinkling in these places has been
much the same as in Boston and other
American cities where 1t is used.
single sprinkling with it will equal In
efficiency two or three sprinklings
with fresh water as ii keeps the sur
face moist, but not muddy, for a long
time. 1t also has been found to harden
and bind macadam roads in the Enghsh
cities and thus diminish the dust. A
ton of sea water contains about zo4
United States gallons, in which are
about so pounds of salts, chiefly chic
rides of sodium and magnesium. When
the water is spread over the surface OF
the road these salts are said to deliq-
uese and Ii is to this deliQuescence
that the duration of dampness In a
street sprinkled with salt water Is at
tributed The project to supply LONDON
with salt water is receiving particular
attention on account of the special
features of the present system of water
supply. The present consumption In the
metropolis is 240, 600, 900 gallons day.
of which $4,000, 900 are employed Tor
street sprinkling and other municipai
purposes. This water, like nearly the
whole quantity furnished to the city, Is
filtered, and is equal in quality to that
used for domestic purposes. 1t is there
fore claimed that by introducing sea
water the amount of pure water would
be practically increased about 20 per
cent. while the street sprinkling and
sewer flushing would be more efficient
than before. The works which 1t Is
proposed to build will take water from
the sea opposite Lansing, a small place
on the south coast between Brighton
and Worthing, where there is no con-
tamination of the water by sewage.
From the intake the supply VIII De
pumped to a settling reservoir or IL
600. 900 gallons capacity, and then to
another reservoir of the same size on
the ton of a high hill in the vicinity.
From this hill the water is to flow by
gravity to London, so miles distant.
The cost of the complete works is esti-
mated at 60 250, 900, and, If parliament
tary opposition is not great, 1t Is be-
uaved that the system can be put in
operation in the summer of 1898.

New York, April 26.-The World will
Tomorrow print the following signed
statement of Ex-Governor William
Russell of Massachusetts, in response
Ito a question from one of its staff cor
respondents: II ann greatly surprised
to hear that the action of the Massa-
chusetts convention has attracted any
special attention outside the state.
While greatly appreciated the compli-
ment of an endorsement by my state.
/ am not seeking the nomination, nor
ann DESTROYS of being candidate, nor
do / wish any movement made in any
state in my interest. On the contrary,
l have already earnestly requested that
no such movement be made in any
other state by friends of mine. The
important thing now is to make every
effort to have the democrats take an
absolutely sound position on the money
question without evasion or compro-
mise. l believe this is of vital conse-
ouence to the party for it's present and
its future 1 am firmly of the opinion
that our national platform ought ex-
plicitly and emphatically to oppose the
free coinage of silver or hts compulsory
purchase, or any compromise legisla-
ton in that direction, and that IL ought
to endorse and commend the admins
traltion of President Cleveland for fis
resolute work in maintaining our pres
ent gold standard and in preserving the
credit of the nation. i think II would
be neither right nor wise to attempt
! to avoid a straddle OF this question by
any ambiguous or meaningless declsra-
ton. The time has passed for that

Interesting Manner in Which the Birds
Amuse Then selves.


Amuse Themselves.
From Chatterbox.
Swallows can fly very fast and very
far. If IL were not so they could not
take the long Journeys which they do,
leaving England in the autumn and re-
turning in the spring. This quick flight
enables them to catch insects on the
wing, on which they chiefly live; also
IL enables them to escape bird enemies
of the hawk tribe sometimes, and per-
haps shots which may be fired at them
by men. Often do we see them flying,
as II seems, just for the pleasure which
they have in rapid motion, going in
circles round the top of a lofty house
or church spire, dropping now and
then, only to rise again, till the whole
party suddenly darts off in another di-
rection. A gentleman walking one
morning across a large park saw a
number OF swallows having quite a
game with a hare, though the poor ami
NAL did not seem to like the perform
ance. The hare was running very fast
and so fast the gentleman wondered
why IL was, as no dogs were near but
directly after he noticed some swat
lows coming close to the ground, and
they SKINNED past THE hare's ears Civ
ing her the idea that they were going
TO strike her. though, when close. they
took a sharp turn. Then they disap-
peared and the hare stopped to listen:
presently they returned and again the
hare ran until she got hid among the
underwood.
Still more curious is the story which
a clergyman tells us of a scene he witt
messed between some swallows and a
cat. Pussy was sitting upon the top of
a gate post in a sort of doze, in which
we often see cats when they are lazy
and not hungry. Puss' repose was in
tewupted by the arrival of swallow,
which flew close to her head. She
raised her paw to strike 1t, but was
too late. Another swallow a minute
after did the same thing. and again
puss made an unsuccessful blow. More
swallows dashed past her just i'm the
same way till 10 or IL had gone by, and
each made n sort of chirp which sound
ed like a laugh. This was too much
for her-she jumped down and retreat
ed. Swallows have been known to
unite and drive off their great enemy
the kestrel. a kind of hawk. by whirl-
ing and fluttering about him until he
gets confused and is not able to seize
any of them.
