The medical fraternity have every
reason to be thankful to a certain Du
Chaillon, whose inventive genius gave
to the world the lfypodermic syringe.
This syringe is, and has been now for
many years. one of the most benefici-
al of medical Instruments and thou

its timely aid. Du Chaillon was a
man gifted with exceptional powers,
and gave promise of a brilliant med
zeal career, but an unfortunate es-
eapade shut him out from intercourse
with all self-respecting men. He
drifted into crime and formed
crime school,, where the young
genius of Paris. stimulated by the
hypodcrrnic syringe, accomplished
deeds of daring and roguery that were
absolutely amazing. The school was
eventually raided. but the presiding
genius of the establishment escaped.
Sufficient was, however, revealed at
the trial to showNthat all his great
coups had been the work of boys who
had been wrought up to a steeliness
value of the syringe was obvious, and
medical men all over the world soon
took full advantage of the instrument

president ,of the Pastors Federation for
the ensuing year at the annual meeting

and Rev. A. W. spooner, treasurer.
A movement for the cooperation Of the
four Protestant theological colleges in
MontresI-AngIieaR. Presbyterian, Meth
odist, and Congresationalist-is well ad-
Yanced. The idea Is TO combine in teach
! ing those subjects upon which there Is no
difierenoe OF view. AS the number in at
tendance at each of the colleges Is COM
parattvely small. one professor could
handle the work in these subjects now
done by four, and the remaining profess
sors would have more time to devote to
those parts of the work upon which they
do not agree. A committee composed Of
representatives from each OF the coll
leges now has the matter under consider
alton.
Dallas, Tex, has been entertaining the
2OOO or more delegates OF the national
convention of advertising men. The meet
ing was opened on a Sunday with a real
innovation. The pulpits OF seventeen
churches were occupied by the visitors,
who spoke to the congregations on the
moral responsibilities OF the advertising
profession. On Sunday afternoon a big
mass meeting was held in the Dallas
Opera House addressed by the president
Of the convention, George W. Coleman,
one Of Boston's leading Baptist laymen.
