AVERSE TO FASTING.
P.iblic attention has *giin been at
tracteti to R v. E. L. Stoddard, rector
of St. John's Gburcb, J. r?ey City, who
inaugurated a dancing class ruovt-mei.t
among churches there aid lust week
started n boxing class. This lime he
advocates the abolishment of the rule
and custom of rnauy churches which re?
quires fasting beiore partaking of tbr
communion. In the current number of
St. John's Bulletin, a weekly paper,
through which Rector Stoddard pro?
mulgates his ideas of conducting the af?
fairs of his pari-h, appeared this notice:
Come by all means, but not fasting.
A cup of tea can be made with an al?
cohol lamp or over the gas in three
minutes, and this will prevent head
ache or sickness. No service is so de?
lightful if one prepares for it. Then:
is no rule of the church requiring
:hat the communion shall betaken fast?
ing. It is merely a fad with high
churchmeu There is no warrant for
it. It causes weak women to take Imp
walKs on cold mornioge with enip y
stomachs. The result is that, they su -
fer from headaches and in many ic
stances faint from sheer weakness. It
is a perfect nuisance having women
kteioverin their pews every Sunday
mon iug because they have overexerted
themselves while fustiog. It is not
right. It is not in Bccord with the
lawe of nature that auch things should
be I do not recommend that a hearty
meal be eaten before the communion,
as much food leaves a person ia a
gross, carnal, unspiritual condition. 1
do say, however, that enough food
should he taken to sustain the body."
Thlkgs One Girl Has Eaten.?A
remarkable case of abnormal appetite
has come to the attention of physicians
of Lynn, Mass. The s??erer is a girl
agout 16 years old. She is how in gieat
pain and it is not expected that her life
can be saved. During the time she ha
been afflicted she has eaten books,
newspapers, shoemaker's wax, starch
and other things, and Sunday she
devoured a pouud. uf roasted codec. The
first symptoms of the devolepment of ]
the ailment came while she was read?
ing. First she began tearing corner
off the pages of a book and finally she
ate entire pages from a book after she
had read them, so that by the time she
finished the story little but the covers
was left. In five weeks she read twelve
novels and ate every one of them. S?e
was employed in a shoe factory and it
was not uncommon for her to get pos
session of a quanity of wax and eat it
with apparent relish Her consumption
of laundry stBrch was only limited by
the supply. The climax came Sun
day when she disposed of about a pound
of coffee. After this she became so ill
that physicians were called in.
The young woman is not insane. Up
to yesterday afternoon, when she had
a delirious turn, she was in full possee
ion of her senses and knew the danger
which threatened her if she continued
her practices.
Fixe Losses Heavy.?The close of
this year will see much heavier fire
losses recorded than last year. The
New York Board of Fire Underwriters'
books show that last year's fire losses
amounted to $3,010,190 05 for the full
j twelve msnths, and for ten months
! $2,473,112.07. This sum has been ex
i ceeded tnis year by $400,000 for the
I same ten months, making the total
losses to November 1, 189S, about
j $2,S73,112.07.
Story of a Slave.
To be bound band and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. William?,
of Manchester, Mich., tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: "My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec- j
trie Bitters, she is wonderfully im?
proved and able to do her own work."
