WHY WINE FIRST TO HOST.
In America Mere Formally, in italy
a Real Necessity.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The wine was opened dexterously by the
waiter who wrapped napkin about the
bottle, and, before serving the guests, pour
ed a few drops into the hosts glass.
why did this waiter give you a little
wine before helping the rest of us?' said a
man of curious mind.
"Oh," said the host, that's always done"
.I know it's always done. That does not
answer my question, though. Here, waiter
the man persisted, you tell me- won't you,
why, when you open a bottle of wine, you
pour few drops into the hosts glass be-
fore serving the guests?'
The waiter smiled and answered:
TT is matter of form, sir-an old custom
"a politeness Its origin lies in the fact
that, after the removal of the cork, there
might be left in the neck of the bottle a
little dust or few specks of cork. The
first drops poured out would, in that event,
contain the dust or the cork, and thus the
guest, were he served first, might get this
refuse Hence the host is given the first
drops He is determined that, IL there is
any dirt in the neck of the bottle, he, and
not one of his guests, will take 1t.
CAS- matter of fact, If you know how
to open wine, you have no difficulty in
keeping the bottles neck clean. The GUS
tom, therefore, is a formality in America.
In Italy, though, II is a real necessity, for
it seems that over there they pour a little
oil in the necks of their bottles of native
wine before corking on the ground that this
makes the wine alright. No doubt it does,
but IL also, in some cases, gives to the first
glass from the bottle decidedly oily fla
vor. Therefore the first glass the host gall
lantIy takes"

Women and the Bar.
From the London Spectator.


Sooner or later 1t would happen that a
case would be won by some theatrical exhi-
bition on the part of a woman who had
depended for winning her case not on the
strength of her logic, but on the attractive
ness of her appearance. and the power she
possessed of making an appeal difficult to
resist When once such a case had been
won, the great object of intending htigants
with weak cases would be to obtain the
services. not of hard-hearted men, but of
beautiful women, to plead their cause. In
passing, of course, it may be pointed out
beautiful of the lady barrister's learned
friends, who might even be found to COM
plain that it was no use trying to get on at
the bar unless you were at least as beauti-
full as that odious Miss A, mot that
can understand what the juries can see in
her." and so forth.
Other disadvantages incident to the COM
petition of women with men barristers are
not hard to point out. 1t would be much
more difficult. for instance-or, rather it
would be at all events much more disagree
sively with woman briefed against him
than with man; it is even conceivable
that now and then judge might feel some
cOmpunction in addressing himself Sternly
to lady protesting overmuch. There would
be false atmosphere of unnecessary po-
likeness about the whole business. We would
be the last In the world to try to close to
women avenues ia livelihood proper to
their sex; and far as the law is con-
cerned. we see no particular reason why a
capable woman should not make a good
solicitor. But she could never make a
barrister; her personality would always be
more insistent than her arguments.

Bible Work in Persia.
From the Boston Transcript.

Bible work in Persia has suffered a seri-
Gus interruption recently In a prohibition
Of the Persian government, which forbids
the entering into Persia of either the
Arabic. Turkish Azerbijani and Persian
scriptures. A consignment sent during the
past year by tn. American Bible Society
to the Presbyterian missionaries at Tabriz
was detained at Bushire. and thus their ad-
mission has been refused. Protests have
been made through the State Department at
Washington, and the British authorities
have been similarly approached by repre-
sentatives of the British and Foreign Bible
Society without effect, although the British
and American ministers at Teheran acted
vigorously from the first. In spite of this,
there has been a vigorous pressing of the
work of Bible circulation on the part Of the
Presbyterian missionaries at the four sta
lions at Tabriz and Urumia. which to-
gether constitute the West Persia mission,
and at Teheran and Hamadan, which COM
bine to make the East Persia mission of
the Presbyterian board In the United States
Of America.
