Then to mystify the matter a little more. be quotes the Hebrew words "Yayln" -Shelter" and " Tlrash" just to show that wine was made from the things above mentioned. He forgot to use the Hebrew word for thistles and the various other things from which al cohol may bo made. 011 yes; he also mentioned "" eines" Greek word for al cobolie liquors), stating that it had the same meaning as yayin. Then he con- cludes his remarks on this part of his subject thusly; " The foregoing is cer tainly sufficient to show beyond all chance of resonable doubt, that there are two kinds of wine reconized in the Bible, fermented, and unfermented, that it is resonable to suppose that when God commends the wine it 1s unfer- mented, and when he speaks in con- demnation it is fermented." As the writer of this little book is desirous of harmonizing inspiration, science and common sense together I must have a few words to say for his encourage ment. I agree with some of the above views, but not all. My contention, is that the word wine, wherever and whenever used, means fermented liquor and always contains more or less oxy- gen, The little difficulty can be set at rest by just looking at yourdietiot,ary,' either English, Greek, or Hebrew. Molasses or syrup can hardly be class ed as liquids. So his arguments ou that line are worthless.. I object to his classification as two kinds of wine, one fermented. one not, for above reasons I claim the condemned wine is wine, (so called), not done fermenting, such wine, being in a fermenting state is physically injurious. Another ob- jection may be where the wine may be mixed with bitter herbs etc. for the purpose of increasing its strength, This wine is condemned or continuing too long in its nee, or using too much ie condemned, We are cautioned against eating too much. Would it be unreasonable to expect to be caution- ed about drinking to excess. The air we breath, but could not exist without, contains 21 per cent of the same sub stance that is so objectionable in alco- hol or wine; wine contains less of tbat life sustaining element contained in air, yet we hear of no complaint .about the atmosphere, no effort made to pro . hibit it; but should this atmosphere be so influenced by surrounding circum- stances,'or otherwise, so that its oxy- gen (so objectionable id wine) should be increased from 21 to 3'7 per cent., "presto," every man, woman and child, every animal o11 the face of the globe. would instantly become drunk. Oh ! what an interesting time that would be! But the Lord is careful that the at- mospbere shall not imbibe too much. On the other hand, if the atmosphere had less than 21 per cent. the opposite calamity would .occur. Hence we learn by this that regarding the oxy gen of the atmosphere, too much or too little injurously affects the whole ani- mal economy, that the safe course is a medium between the extremes. As the intoxicating element in wine is oxygen, this must certainly put in the shade the late Dr. Richardson's theory that " there is no moderation in the drink habit." (To be continued) C,.PROUTy. St. Marys. HELD UP AND SAND BAGGED —The north end of Wellington street bridge that crosses Trout creek was the scene on Saturday last of an attempt at high- way robbery and hold up by three foot- pads. J. E. Brown, a barber in the em- ploy of A. E. Teskey, and who lives in the north ward, in the vicinity of the First Presbyterian church, was late go• ing home Saturday night, as on such nights barbers are kept busy up to the midnight hour. On this occasion Mr Brown had left the shop about twelve o'clock with a laundry parcel uuder his arm. On reaching the north side of Wellington street bridge he heard a a rustling noise in some shrubbery close to the west side of the walk. The night ' being very dark, he turned around a little to see what it was, when he noticed a club swinging in the air in the hands of some man on the inside of the walk. Mr. Brown dodged his head to one side, only to receive a terrific blow on the left shoulder. which partly staggered ham, but he still kept on his feet. Another man suddenly sprang up on the outside of the walk and. struck him a stunning blow on the right shoulder with something like a sandbag. Although he was sent reel- ing with this blow he quickly recov- ered himself, and in turning around to go back to the town, a third footpad appeared in front of him and made an effort to stop his progress' but he only got hold of the paper of his parcel, which was torn off, and Mr. Brown made quick time down Wellington street to Queen street and on up to the market police office. In a few minutes Night constable Ross arrived back from one of his rounds, and together they hurried back to the scene of the "attack, but no trace of anyone could be seen as the night wait very dark. In look- ing over the roadway Mr. Brown re covered his hat which was-k-nocked off, with the first blow. Mr,Brown then made his, way to his homeonthe north end of Wellington street.

Toronto, Nov. 2—Tonight, a Seaforth girl named Margaret Kennedy, alias Edna Leslie, well known in Stratford, committed suicide by taking a dose of carbolic acid. About 8 o'clock she vis- ited C. Harbottie's drug store and bor- rowed 25c, from the ua prietor, with the intention of goiug to a lunch house and getting a meal. After leaving the store she wandered about the streets and wound up at McLaren's store, where the fatal draught was pro- cured. She then walked down the street to the Ford restaurant. She or- dered an oyster stew, and when about half through her meal suddenly took a bottle from her pocket, and in one gulp swallowed the biggest part of the contents. She was about 23 years of age, and being delicate in health, weighed only 98 lbs. She has lived in Toronto for the past seven years, but made no place her particular home having Stayed with people who would take her in. Her mother lives in Sea - forth, her father having died some years ago, and, it is said, left her a small income. The family consisted of two children, the brother living at home with his mother. .After taking the poison she suffered greatly, but said she was tired of life and wanted to die. She passed away shortly after- wards and the body was taken to the morgue. A Substantiai Gain.
