Commentcary. — 1. The drunkard's
£ aat (vs. 11, 12). 11. Woe --Grief, sor-
row, nrds'ery, a heavy calamity, a curse,
Early in the morning—When it was re-
eperded especially shameful to drink.
Banquets for revelry began earlier than
usual (Ewa. 10, 16, 17). 5fiay follow
tstrong drink—Begin and continue to use
it from early morn till night. "Palm or
date wine was, and still is, in use in
the Eastern countries. Judea was fam-
ous for trhe abundance and excellence of
ita palm trees; and consequently had
plenty of this wine." Drinking strong
drink was the chief business of the day.
• Ti11 wine inflame theta --One can usually
tell when a man has been drinking by
his flushed face and red eyes. The extra
amount of blood in the brain makes him
think and talk more lively, and, he is
very jolly and gay. This makes many
people think that aleoltol does 'then[
good; but in this condition no man is
able to use good judgment, or to exe-
cute his work correctly. Wine kindles
every evil passion. Under its influcuce
men act like fools and maniacs.
12. The harp—A stringed instrument
of triangular figure. Music was common
at ancient feasts (Amos 6, 5, 6). The
viol—An instrument with twelve strings.
The tabret—A small drum or tambou-
rine, played on as an accompaniment to
singing. Pipe --"The principal musical
wind instrument of the Hebrews, con-
sisting of a. tube with holes, like a flute
or clarionet. Wine—Such as indulge in
revels must have every sense gratified,
for only by being stimulated by such
excitement could they be at all satis-
fied. They regard not—'.Cite most posi-
tive proof that such conduct is sinful.
When sao filled with worldly pleasure
there is no taste for anything serious.
Neither consider—The judgments of God
epon these people are the last things
they desire to consider. So engrossed
were 'these men in their indulgences that
they failed to recognize the hand of Je-
hovah in the impeudang evils and calam-
ities about to befall them.
11, God's judgments on the drunkard
(vs. 13.17). 13. Therefore—Because they
ore God's warnings aual continue...4o
their drunkenness. My people—Judah,
or Israel, er both. Are gout—The pro-
phet sees the future as 'though it were
present. Into captivity—i sn el, the
northern lingdom., was carried away
captive by the Assyrians while Isaiah
was warning Judah. But their real lap-
' tors were not the Assyrians, but wine
and strong drink. Because they have no
knowledge—Because of their foolish
reeklessnes3 in fallowing strong drink
they make drunkards of themselves.
They act contrary to wisdom. I•Ioaor•
able men are famished—Strong (Leek
ruins those in honorable positions. Many
great men have fallen under this ter-
rible curse. Dried up with thirst—Aw-
ful thirstt follonva drinking, and the burn.
!Ing sensation which drinking men feel is
like the drying up of themselves.
14. Hell—Sheol, the place of the dead.
"Sheol is personified and compared to a
'ravenous beast, eager to swallow its
rey." .Hath enlarged herself—"There
has been so great a slaughter that the
I world of the dead is 'too narrow to ac-
oommodate all who eater there, and has
'to build an addition—has to increase its
capacity." --Beecher. Opened her mouth
—"The tense in the Hebrew changes
'here. It should be, 'And is opening her
'mouth.' The slaughters have not ceased.
The insabWee world of the dead is skill
opening its hungry jaws to devour
Judah's patriots."—Ibid. Statistics that
deal with the effects of the drink curse
'are aplalling,. Their glory—All their
honors shall be laid in bhe dust. Death
'even), put an end to all their joys. Their
i multitude--.Di•d they glory in their num-
! bars? Their multitude shall go down to
I the.
it (Ezek. 31, 18; 32, 32). Yie that
xeometh—Death will turn their mirtuh
!into mourning. He ,that rejoices and
'revels and never knows what it is to
!be serious, shall go where there is weep-
ing and wailing.
15. The mean man, etc,—its victims
, include all classes. Even "the mean man"
` is "brought down" to a. lower level, and
to tbe same level "the mighty" and "the
'lofty" aro degraded. The drunkard soon
'loses all self-respect, then his respect
for all that is good, even respect for
God and fear of his judgments. This is
I to become a scoffer, 16. Lord—Shall be
exalted—.\Vthen mart's glory is all pass-
' ed away God is unchanged. Though men
%corn his offered mercy and refuse his
wise counsels he is not cast down. He
Is exalted, Sanctified in righteousness
—Regarded as holy by reason of his righ-
teous dealings. 17. Then shall the lambs,
etc. --When thees are gone into captivity
and swallowed up in death "strangers,"
or foreigners, shall fin their places,
IIT. The woes of the drunkard (vs. 18-
23). 18. Iniquity—Wickedness, Cords of
vanity—liabbins say, "An evil inclina-
tion is at first like a fine hair -string,
but the finishing like a. cart -rope."
i "Thess sinners harness themselves like
:horses to a cart, and, straining every
?terve in sat, they drag their punishments
with. them." 19. Let him make speed,
etc,—They challenge the Almighty to
do • His worst, and set His justice at
defiance. They do not believe that the
judgments threatened will come. 20, Call
evil geed,' etc.—Men resort to Lying sub-
terfuges to justify 'themselves in, sane-
tioning the 'liquor traffie, either in dir-
eetly grantthg licenses to sell, or voting
tor those who will, or in quietly Ignor-
ing the whole subject for the sake of
pbliticaI place or power. 21, Wise in
their own eyes—'Base who prefers their
owe reasonings to divine revelations,
who despise or reject the gospel, or who th
claim to have a knowledge of it, but do
not practise it,
22, h ighhty to drink—Those who boast
that they can drink more than 'others
and yet be able to stand. They shall not
escape tbe curse of drunkenness. 'Their
.glory is their shame. 23. Justify the
wicked for reward—Who, as judges, per-
vert justice and for a bribe acquit the
guilty. Who for the sake of votes, or
politi<sal influence; or favor with the
people, vote with the saloon -keeper and
help make bad laws, God will punish
such Take away the righteousness—The
righteous are deprived of their rights
because they will not give a bribe. Cor-
raption in high places was the rule,
not the exception. Plie rulers were very
wicked.
Temperance instruction,—Alcohol par-
alyzes "Why does a drunken man stag-
ger? When a man takes a certain am-
ount of alcohol his small brain and spinal
cord become .partly paralyzed, so that
they cannot do their duty well; and
so, when he tries to walk he reels and
stumbles; The fact is that the alcohol
bas put his .spinal cord and small brain
to sleep so that he cannot make his legs
do what he wants them to do. Now, if
still more ,alcohol is taken the whole
brain becomes paralyzed and then the
man is so nearly dead that we say be is
'dead. drunk.' It is exceedingly danger-
ous to become dead drunk, as the brain
may be so completely paralyzed that
it will not recover." Evil •effects of to-
baceo: Tobacco, like alcohol, is a nar-
cotic. It benumbs and paralyzes the
nerves, and it is by this means that it
obtains such an influence over those who
use it. The hand of a man or boy who
uses tobacco often becomes so unsteady
that he eau scarcely write. This is be-
cause the cells which send nerves to the
muscles of the hand are diseased. When
a person has a trembling hand you say
he is nervous. If you feel his pulse you
will find that it does not beat steadily
and regularly. The heart is nervous and
trembles just the same as the muscles
do. This shows that the tobacco has poi-
soned the cells in the brain which regu-
late the heart. Physicians tell us that
one reason why tobacco is bad for boys
is that it injures the brain.
PR.4CTI(AL APPLICATIONS,
'Woes of Intemperance.
I. Woe to the wine -drinker. "Woe unto
them .... that continue until night, till
wine inflame them" (v. 11.) "Woe unto
them that are mighty to drink wine" (v.
22.) "Who hath woe? . , They that
tarry long at the wine" (Prov. 23; 29,
30.) "Look not thou upon the wine ....
at the last it biteth like a serpent"
(Prov. 23; 31, 32.) An artist once asked
the privilege of painting the portrait of
a boy about three years of age, because
he was the loveliest child he had ever
seen. When the picture was completed
he hung it in his studio, that he might
gaze upon it often. Years afterward
this artist met one of the most degraded
and disgusting of men. He was low, vul-
gar, profane, filthy and indecent. The
artist thought of his picture of the
charming boy in his studio, and thought,
"Can it be that such a wretch was once
a loving little child?" He resolved to
paint the portrait of the man and hang
the picture beside that of the child. Ob-
taining the consent of the 'vagabond, he
painted 'the portrait and suspended it be-
side that of the beautiful boy. What
was his surprise to learn that the hard-
ened profligate was once the lovely child.
Some of the effects of wine -drinking are:
1. Irreverence. "They have cast away
the law of the Lord .... and despised
the Work of the Holy One" (v. 24.) The
following letter was received by a min-
ister: `Rev. Sir: You are warned not
to preach anything against whiskey -sell-
ing or about heli in your sermons; if
you do, your conceited head will come
off. We don't believe in hell, nor do we
want you to talk about it in your
preaching in this town. Let whiskey-
eelling and hell alone, and we will stand
by you. Be warned in time, or you will
hear from us again in another way.—X.
Y. g."
2. Aridity. "Their multitude dried up
with thirst" (v. 13). A men who once
owned a costly. attractive liquor saloon
in this city said: "1 sold Iiquor for elev-
en years .... long enough to see the be-
ginning of the end of its effects, I have
seen man after man. wealthy and edu-
cated, come into my saloon who cannot
now buy his dinner. I call roan twenty
enetomers worth from $100,000 to $500,-
000 who are now without money, ice
or friends.'
3, Death. "Hell bath enlarged herself"
(v. 14). "Their carcass , , . , in .... the
streets" (v. 351. One cannot drink in-
toxicants and live long. Willard Parker.
estimating for the United States. found
that he death rate of drinkers was
fifty-one in 1,000. There is a constant
procession of the dead to our city
morgue -5.000 a year is the average, 417
each month, 13 each day—more than one
for each hour of the daylight—and nut
of every '6,000 there are 4.000 who died
from drink. Terrible record!
Ii. Woe to the presumptuous. I. "Woe
unto them what draw iniquity with cords
of vanity" (v. 18), Not led by the Holy
Spirit to be tempted (Matt. 4:
1); but going themselves into the way
of temptation. Not drawn away by
their own lusts (Jas, 1:15), but deliber-
aeely drawing all manner of wickedness
to themselves. Not "tempted of the
devil," but each turning himself into a
devil to tempt others, 2. "Them that
sin as it were with a cart rope"
(v. 18). The beginning of evil is a
thread, but the end is a rope. 3. "They
say •Let the counsel of the IToly
One . , . draw nigh" (v. 19). Years
ago in this City at a concert hall a de-
formed man hi an address deliberately
and distinctly defied God and blas-
phemously challenged • him to seal his
lips. Suddenly he lost control over his
mental faculties, his tongue faltered, he
could not speak. He sat down amid a
shower of hisses, and soon after died a
raving maniae. ti
M. 'Woe to the rumseller, "Woe untoem - which jvstify the wicked zi
for reward" (v, 23). Wine -drinking
leads to the perversion of judgment. "It
is not for kings .., to drink wine
and forget the law, and pervert
the judgment of any of the afflicted"(Prov31: 4, 5), Those who license
selling of liquor because addicted to the
use of it, and those who. license it for
gain, and those who license it thought-
lessly, all come under the severe con-
demnation of God, Nothing can make
it right to allow men to pay.money to
do that which is absolutely wrong, be-
cause it ruins men in spirit, soul and
body. "Woe unto them that call evil
good, and good evil; that put darkness
for light, and light for darkness; that
put bitter for sweet, and sweet for
bitter" (v. 20). A, C, M.
LAYING ,BRICKS.
New Scheme pevised by New York'
City Builder.
Here is a hint which eontractors. and
buiacters of Hamitlon might find worth
taking. According to expert testimony
it is possible to lay a considerably large
number of bricks in a given time by
the new method devised by Frank B.
Gilbrethe, of Nev York city. The plan
is described as the packet system. It
is now stated that the system has stood
the experiments made so satisfactory
that Mr. Gilbrethe is able to cut down
the time of construction very mater.ially,
The packet is so simple that the won-
der is that it was not thought of many
years ago. A little wooden frame or
tray allows the bricklayer to place his
fingers underneath the brick while it is
resting on edge. The bricks are piled on
edge in what the bricklayers call "bull
headers," in two rows of ten bricks
each. This is done by tenders at the
car or cart. After the tefiders have so
stacked the bricks, they remain, undis-
turbed until the bricklayer picks then
up from the packet, one at a time, and
places them upon the wall.
The time saved by the bricklayer in
not being obliged to pick up two pieces ,
of a broken brick instead .of a whole
brick, nor especially select the best
bricks for the exterior four inches of the
wall, nor to discard the broken bricks,
are some of the advantages claimed for
the packet system. Thus, in the course
of a day the advantage of having all the f
best bricks put on the same paekets,
and the inferior, chipped and broken c
pieces put on others, amounts to a sur-
prising increase in the total work accom-
plished by a gang of bricklayers.
The process is thus: the packets are
filled by laborers from the ear or cart.
The bricks are put face up in two rows r
of ten each, a weight of about ninety
pounds plus the weight of the Basket. 8
The entire Ioad is plaeed or s n:ei tl'.y t
constructed wheelbarrows. - ri .ng
where the bricklayer is working, thelast
packet is placed on the stork platform
of the scaffold. The last step is the
placing of the packet on the wall by the
bricklayer, requiring but the moving of j
the arms and hands. The tossing of a s
brick in the hands of a bricklayer. so c
characteristic of the old method. is made
entirely unnecessary. The best face of
the brick is always upward and there is ,.
a considerable saving of energy and (;
time. In this way an experienced brick- m
layer will do two or even three times
the amount of work done before, and a
good wall is assured. d
Bradstreet's Trade Review. t
Montreal --The past week has seen p
some betterment in the condition of gen- t
eras wholesale trade here. Travellers on
the road report better orders for sorting
goods and fall and winter business is
taking on a brisker tone. The millinery
trade has shown more marked improve-
ment
mprove went than any other line. The volume
of business so far compares well with
that of last year.
Toronto—Several causes have contri-
buted towards helping general business
here during the pet week, The closing
week of the annual National EEcposition
is invariably visited by large numbers
of out-of-town merchants, who take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to do busi-
ness while at the market. The fall mil-
linery openings have been ander way
and the business done has been heavy.
Winnipeg—Confidence in future bus'.
ness esteem to be restored in all Bees of
trade. Wholesale trade is brisker than
it has been for many months. The grain
shipped so far shows excellent quality.
Vancouver and Victoria—Trade all
along the coast has a satisfaetory tone.
Quebec—Encouraging harvest reports
are stipulating business and storekeep-
ers, wholesale and retail, look forward to
a satisfactory fall and winter business.
lia,milton—Trade ;situation continues
to show some improvement, although the
volume of business is still below expec-
tations. The millinery trade has been
good and that in general dry goods pro-
mises well for fall. Collections are fair,
but it is hoped there will soon be consid-
erable improvement in this connection.
Values are steady to firm.
London—The demand for wholesale
lines has been more active duping the
past week and indications favor a bet.
ter business all along the line.
Ottawa—The wholesale and retail de-
mand for goods has been fairly brisk
during the pa et week, and collections
also show improvement. The demand for
lumber continues quiet.

A treasury official who recently re-
turned frorn New York tells the Wash-
ington Herald a story illustrative of the
effort of J, Pierpont Lviorgan, the New
York financier,- to stop the financial de-
pression,
A manufacturer had been operating
his business for some time on credit.
Elis notes fell due early in November,
and be went to a bank to get them re-
newed. Though he had been a large de-
positor and was known to be a roan of
scrupulous honesty, the bank declined to
grant him an extension, insisting that
he should pay his notes on the day they
fell due. This was impossible, and bank-
ruptcy stared him in the face. - He went
stohalould frienddo. and asked him what he
"No bank will loan you a rent," said
his adviser. "I have it. Go to Mr. Mor-
gan and state your case to him."
"Oh, he won't do anything for me," the
manufacturer responded Hopelessly. "But
I'll try, anyhow."
Mr. Morgan received him courteously
and listened to his statement. Then he
turned to his 'phone and rang up the
bank.
"Mr. So -and -So is in my office," he
said, "and tolls me you have declined to
grant him an extension of his notes. It
is just such people as you who are mak-
ing the condition serious. Unless those
notes are renewed I shall make it my
business to ruin you."
Then the financier turned to his caller.
"I think," he said, "you will find the
bank willing to extend your notes."

Her Answer Corrected.
A teacher in the Garfield School was
teaching a primary class the beginning
of arithmetic.
"Now, •I have one pencil in my right
hand and one in my left," she said.
'How many pencils have I? Helen, you
may answer."
"Two," piped a small voice.
"Then one and one make two, do they
not?"
"Sure."
The teacher frowned at the disrespect-
ul :answer, says the Kansas City Star.
"That's hardly what you should have
aid," she said. "Will some nne in the
chess tell TIelen what her answer 51101ld
lave been?"
There was a moment of hesitation.
Then ouc brown fist shot confidently
nto the air.
"Ah, ,Fames, you may tell Helen what

"Sure, ?Bike!" shouted Jimmie, in a
