GERMs AND RELIGIOUS RITES

Bscteriology is a modern science. Most
of the religious rites practiced to-day
were handed down from ancient times.
Those who originated them. while thew
may have been inspired, could not look
far enough into the future to anticipate
scientific discoveries hundreds of years
ahead of their times. Thus science an
pears to be rather out of harmony with
religion in that it charges that many
religious rites actually purveyors of
noxious disease germs.
During the past two or three years a
great deal has been written and said
with respect to the common communion
cup as a vehicle for the distribution of
bacilli, and individual cups have been adj
vocated a means to eliminating the
danger. 1t is the custom in some of the
churches in Russia, in administering the
sacrament of the Lords Supper, to use a
spoon. The priest places morsel of
bread in the bowl of the spoon. dips it
into the vessel of wine, and passes it to
the mouth Of the communicate. Recently
several of the churches have adopted the
individual spoon which would seem to be
less cumbersome than the individual cup
The communion cup, however, is not

There are lively times ahead in South
Carolina politics. Senator McLaurin has
not only broken away from the leadership
of Senator Tillman. but has assumed a
leadership along new lines which the fol-
lowers of Tillman claim are undemocraric.
MeLaurin will, therefore, be called upon
to defend himself before the people when
the time comes for another senatorial
election, two years hence. Tillman will
try, of course. to prevent him from sue
ceeding himself. But it occurs that Nc
Laurin is a man of ability, quite able to
take care of himself before the people,
even against the political boss of the
state. A campaign with the two senators
on the stump might well be expected 10

\ reformer living in a Northern city is
trying to stir up a crusade against the
use of glucose in American breweries on
the ground that It is Injurious to the con-
sumers of beer. This reformer says that
he has seen driver Of brewery wagon,
who is in the habit OF drinking fifty
glasses of beer a day during six days of
the week, betray the effects of the glu-
cose in a peculiar way of walking He be-
lieves that the glucose hardened the soles
of the mans feet. Is it at all strange
that man who drank fifty glasses of beer
should show some peculiarities of gait?
Three or four glasses of whiskey, or sew
eral glasses of wine, have been known to
produce peculiarities in the drinkers gait,
without the blame being laid upon any
thing else than the alcohol; and in fifty
glasses of beer there ought to be as much
alcohol as in half a dozen or more glass
es of whisky.
