AN IMPROMPTU SOLO
There was a feature in the last Sun-
day evening service at the Windsor
Avenue Methodist Church of which no.
intimation was given by the pastor
In fact it was purely impromptu.
While Miss Guillot was rendering
her s w1o, A0 By the Waters of Babylon,"
there floated through the open win-
dows from the parsonage on the next
lot the tones of a, child soerauo, sweet
and pure as a silver bell, and the bur-
den of the melody was:—
"Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the Bible tells me so,"
After the echoes of Miss Guiilot's
fine voice had died away, and a bush
had fallen on the congregation, the
infant voiee continued the song, and
the people listened with keen atten-
tion, while a ripple of amusement was
evident. A glance at the pulpit also
showed that the stalwart occupant
manifested some uneasiness, The em-
barrassment was markedly iucreased
when the sacred song was suspended
and three infantile voices broke forth
with " Down on the Wabash,'" while
t11e .anauseurent of the congregation
teok an audible form..
" That is the disadvantage of hav-
ing a large family, and living next
door to the Church," said Mr, Living-
ston.
It may be said that the pastor has
eleven children, and the majority of
them were in church,—Windsor Re.
cord,
Is the Drink Habit on the Increase
I had been led to believe by my own.
experience and from reports from other
sources and quarters, that the drink.
habit was on the decline, I was reat-
Jet surprised on hearing a temperance
lecturer
Inauel h i v'
b bog ag village ask-
ing in his discourse "where does it go,"
evidently desirous of impressing on the
minds of his hearers the fact that large
quantities of liquor were manufactured,
imported or otherwise, and, if not con
sumed, what became of it. In order to
show the enormous` quantity made and
consumed, ed, he said it
would fi1la trench
or vanal, ten feet deep and twenty feet
wide, reaching from 'Windsor to Lon-
don, Toronto or Quebec. This certain-
ly was a great surprise to me, and for
the moment regretted having opposed
Legislative Prohibition. I considered
if that statement was correct, that ex-
treme measures were absolutely nec-
cessary, and I believe in extreme meas
ures in extreme cases. When I left
the hall my mind was so Impressed with
the good speeches and the good and
profitable evening spent, and also con-
templating the amount of liquor drank,
and the large sums of money necessary
to pay for same, my sympathy was
aroused. Two or three days after a
friend of mine was talking to me about
this canal, expressed a wish to know
how much liquor this canal would hold,
and wished I would figure it out, I did
so and I find the following results, viz:
That a canal 10x20 feet, one mile long
would hold 176,715 barrels of beer, 36
gallon each—sold at $7 per barrel
would amount to $1.258.005. Sold by
the glass would amount to 85,031,620.
Were this canal 100 miles, a distance
Iess than the distance between Windsor
and London, the number of barrels it
would contain would be 17,971,500.
At $7 a barrel the sum would be $125,-
860,500. If sold by the glass it would
sum up to $513,202,000. This 100 mile
canal would furnish each man, woman
and child in the Dominion of Canada
with 2016 gallons of beer per capita
per annum.
The Hon. Wm. S. Fielding, Minister
of Finance, in his report for 1897 says
the per capita beer drank in the Domin-
ion is Si gallons per annum. What a
contrast between 3i galIons and 2016
gallons. According to Mr. Fielding's
statement a canal 7i miles long 10x20
feet would hold all the beer consumed
in Canada so far as comes under his
jurisdiction or knowledge.
According to Mr. Fielding's budget
speech the use of spirits is decreasing,
but more beer is used, but taking the
two together these is a marked de-
crease in the consumption of alcohol as
commonly termed.
The greatest enemy the cause of
temperance has to eontend with, are
those exaggerated statements so fre•
quently reserted to by platform speak-
ers when they are desirous of getting
up a sensational feeling.
C. PROUTY,
Wilfrid, infant son of C. H. Drulard,
Windsor, swallowed a quantity of con-
centrated lye. Little hopes for re-
covery.
Thomas Godkin, cheesemaker of
Twin Elm, Ont., who sustained injuries
while jumping oa Saturday, last died
Thursday.
Ralph Johnston, aged 17 years, of
Whitby, collided with a couple of other
bicycleriders of that town and re-
ceived fatal injuries.
Mr. Anthony Henry, Waubuno Sus-
tained a serious accident the other day
dislocating his shoulder. His team
ran away and upset the wagon.
While hunting in a swamp on the
tenth concession of Howick, Jacob C.
Moss was accidently shot in the left
arm by Russell Cook, wbo, thinking
Moss was ; gone some distance' away,

The $62,000 Bank Robbery,
Winnipeg, Man„ Oct. 5.—The Mot
sons Bank in this city has been robbed
of a large sum of money, said to be in
the neighborhood of $62,000. Tho
bank officials and solicitors aro very
reticent in regard to the matter, al-
though they do not deny that the bank
has been.robbed, and the details of the
affair are kept from the public.
Oct. 6.—There are no now develop.
ments in the Molsons Bank robbery, as
yet the combination locks and one key
lock have to be opened before the
treasury compartment can be entered.
Each combination is know only to one
man, and the finbl treasury compart-
ment has two combination locks, and
two men must be present when the
door is opened. It is not believed that
the plot to rob the bank, of which Man-
ager Phepoe received notice from a
private dective about a month ago,
had any connection with the robbery
of the $62,000. The man whose name
was given to Phepoe by the detec-
tive as being one of those concerned in
the plot was in jail at the time, and is
still serving a three month's sentence.
Bankers who have discussed the rob.
bery expressed the opiniou that it
would be impossible for anyone to get
into the vault were any of the doors
locked.
It is stated a great deal of the money
was in Dominion one -dollar bills, and
that there is positively no means of
indentifying any of the money.

'What Scrofula Is.
Scrofula is a disease as old as antiquity.
It has been handed down for gener-
ations and is the same to -day as in
early times. It is emphatically a dis•
ease of the blood ,and the only way to
cure it is by purifying the blood,
That is just what Hood's Sarsaparilla
does in every case where it is given
a faithful trial. It eradicates all
impurities from the blood, and cures
the sores, boils, pimples' and all forms
of skin disease due to scrofula taints
in the blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla has
won the great praise of vast number
of people ley its grand and complete
cures. Don't allow scrofula to de-
velop in your blood: Cure it at once'.
