to hundreds of others elsewhere, is a
native of Dunfermline, Scotland. He
came to this country, at the age of
ten years, with his parents to join
relatives in Pittsburg. Here the
future multi-millionaire and wise
benefactor secured a position to tend
the fires of a little stationary engine
in the cellar of a factory. After his
work was over at night he set himself
to the task of Tearing thoroughly the
streets of the city, and when he knew
them he applied for the position of
messenger-hoy in a telegraph Office

II is almost impossible to separate
the thought of weddings from the
month of June. Indeed, it seems
quite fitting that month so proauc-
tive of JOY in the world OF nature
should be the time OF all others lot
the realization of perfect happiness
in the world of humanity. Here IN
American June brides have not only
to be grateful for season so sugges'
live of pleasant things, but even the
fact that they are American brides.
A glance at the customs in other
countries serves to bring the thought
home with renewed force.
In France, for example, a third
party first ascertains whether an al
lance of the families is desired. and,
if so, the prospective groom presents
himself to the family and seeks thus
to promote the marriage. All matters
appertaining to dowry and settlements
are, of course, left in the hands of the
parents. There is no courtship and
the bridal pair scarcely know each
other until after their marriage. A

amid the lamentations and cries of
her family, with the dowry of
furniture following to the home of the
bridegroom, who after an inspection,
either accepts her as his wife or sends
her back to her parents. In one
country the garments of the two are
sowed together during the ceremony,
but at the close the thread is cut. In
Japan tiny babies are atfianced, which
fact as we'll as that the women after
marriage shave off their eyebrows and
blacken their teeth, probably accounts
for the number of divorces and remar-
riages 1t is related that among the
Mongols and Tartars, in order to
unite two hostile tribes. when there
are no eligible sons and daughters de-
ceased members of families are mar
ried. Doubtless this manner of bear
ing the conjugal yoke would appeal
strongly to some confirmed bachelors.
But tho it is a happy time. an
approaching wedding brings many
anXieties and cares. The first thing
to be decided is the date, but cir
cumstances often is a greater aid in
this than in deciding on the time of
day the form of the ceremony, the at
tendants, the place, the decorations
and the trousseau. 1t is marvellous
how the brides with so many things
on their minds and so Toasted and
showered and dined, in spite of it all
are able to approach the day with no
diminution of color and no loss of
charm.
Many brides attempt to make their
weddings unique, and it is in this
way that many pretty new features
come out The wedding may very
properly be set any time from sunrise

identical with the so-called Guarnieri's
bodies, the achievement of the
former is none the less remarkable
and worthy of the greatest praise.
There are many interesting questions
the answers of which will be brought
nearer by DR.. Councilman's work:
How does the organism gain entrance
into the body? Is there an inter
mediate host? Does the parasite pro
duce a toxin. as was suggested by
Pfeifrer and Hugenn? What share do
Lacteria, chiefly the streptococcus.
have in producing the clinical features
of smallpox? These are few of the
questions pressing for solution.
Furthermore. impetus and direction
will be given to search for the para
sites OF chickenpoX scarlet fever and
measles.

THE MONTH OF BRIDES

till in the evening. although the even
ing wedding is much more popular
here than in England, and il may be
large enough TO include all ones
friends as guests, or only the very
nearest and dearest. There is a grow
ing fad for out-of,door and country
house weddings. The details are, of
course, in the hands of the bride, and
if she be wise she arranges them all
carefully before the rehearsal. II it
be church wedding, many OF them
may be put in the hands of the sexton,
The wedding breakfast which follows
noon wedding can be elaborate or
quite simple, as the bride desires.
Often when the wedding takes place
in the afternoon the ceremony Is per-
formed with only few witnesses,
followed by a general reception.
The bride usually dresses in white.
although she is often married in
travelling suit. which is in reality
more of calling costume, but it
throws a feeling resembling super
stitious awe over guests to see a
bride in black or with any touch of
black. Even when in mourning it is
proper 10 lay aside the black for
delicate shade Of gray or cream, and
resume the black after the ceremony.
The bridesmaids are usually gowned
in some pretty color. One bride had
her attendants wear different shades
of rose, ranging from the faintest
blush to rich, deep shade; it seemed
TO the guests that she was following
a veritable bouquet.
Roses have long been a favorite
flower for the decorations, but many
brides whose purses are not over
flowing have succeeded in obtaining
as good effects with natures flowers.
1t is possible to get effects with
little color and generous amount of
green, as rich as those obtained by
using color almost entirely. When
the wedding is at a church with a
reception following at the home. it is
not customary to have as extensive
decorations there as in the church.
At the reception the bridesmaids
act as hoSteSSeS and BUSY themselves
in entertaining the guests. the ushers
often escort the guests to the bridal
pair for presentation.
Before the bride leaves she usually
throws her bouquet to those waiting
below and the one who is so fortunate
as to catch it is playfully teased.
When the pair depart, amid shower
of rice or flowers, a white slipper is
thrown after them for good luck At
an evening reception dancing often
follows the departure of the berib-
boned carriage If the guests are
thoughtful they will call upon the
brides mother shortly after the we'd
ding, while the happy pair is in some
retreat enjoying the honeymoon.

THE PARASITE OF SMALLPOX.
Expert Comment on the Recently Re-
ported Boston Discovery.

American Medicine.-Dr. Council
man, whose well-known scientific
caution and conservatism ada great
weight to the announcement, claims
that the parasite is protozoan with
definite cycle of Development con
sisting of two stages. In the first
stage the organism is eXtranuclear
and presents itself as small,
homogeneous body in the protoplasm
of the epithelial cell. The body grows
larger and becomes granular and ir-
regular in outline, acquiring distinct
resemblance to an emeba. When 1t
has attained certain size or age 1t
breaks up into numerous small dots
or rings, with which phase the first
zoan comes to a close The newly
formed bodies, or spores, may now do
one of two things. They may repeat
the first stage by injecting other cells,
or they may enter the nucleus and
pass through the second stage, which
is looked up as being sexual. The
first stage unaccompanieu by the
second is supposed to be character
istic of Vaccinia and CowpOX. while in
true smallpox both stages are found
together, The intranuclear body APP
pears first as small ring, which en-
larges and eventually becomes trans
formed into a mass of rings, which
fills the nucleus and destroys it.
Coincidently with the destruction Of
the nucleus the ring body breaks up
into a vast number of spores, which,
it is presumed, represent sexual
elements. The spores are contained
in countless numbers in the ripe
smallpox pustule, and when the latter
dries and falls off are scattered far
aud wide. 1t is through them that the
contagion spreads. DR.. Councilman
and his assistants, Drs. Magrath and
Brinkerhoeff have followed the organ
ism through all its stages without
break. They were particularly for
tunate in discovering ocular proof of
the mode in which infection of the
skin takes place-in one Of their
slides they found dernal blood
vessel containing many of the small
ring-Lodies, the youngest form of
the parasite. AS in the case of other
protozoan organisms Of man artificial
cultivation has not succeeded.
1t is a priori highly probable that Dr.
Churchman'S parasite is the cause OF
smallpox. inasmuch as the great
majority Of variologists have for more
than decade chung to belief in the
protozoan origin of the disease Van

on the cycles Of the parasite. Among
the most recent studies are those Of

material on a calf and on several
