IL The Mother of Jesus (vs. 3-5). 3,
When the wine failed (R. V.) -To Eats -
ern hospitality such a mishap would be
very mortfying and would seem almost
disgraceful. The family no doubt was
poor, extra guests had. come, and the
supply was limited. There has been
much discussion . as to whether Jesus
made wine that would, intotdcate. Dr.
Whedon says: "We see no reason for
supposing that the wine of the present
occasion was of that kind upon which
:Scripture places its strongest interdict"
(Prey. ear., 1; xxiii., 31; Isa. xxii., 13).
No one can prove that it contained in-
toxicating qualities, and there are many
and. strong reasons for believing that it
was as pure and harmless, as the juin
of the grape fresh from the vines. Wine-
bibbers need not undertake to fall back
on this miracle se an excuse for the
gratification of their perverted appetites.

EPIDEMIC OF WIFE-BEATINII.
' Judge Weir's Reference to Outbreak of
Crime in Montreal.
Montreal, Jan. 9. -There is perhaps as
pressing a need in Montreal of a whip-
pingpost for wife -beaters as there is
forits restoration at Washington, as re-
- natty proposed. In the Recorder's Court
to -day Judge Weir ordered that a charge
of drunkenness and common assault
against John. Walsh be enlarged to wife -
beating, in order that the accused might
receive the maxiraum sentence Walsh
had already been sentenced to two
months for drunkenness and two months
for assault, but when. the Recorder re-
flected on the fact that the wife had to
go out to work daily, and that on her
refusal to hand over her bard -earned
money he had struck her on the mouth
and blocked out two ot her teeth, he
ordered the thane, to be changed.
Then, having referred to Walsh ass an
unspeakable coward, he said he could
not refrain making reference to the
large number of cases arising from over-
indulgence in drink that had come be-
fore him during the last few days. Nev-
er in all his' experience had there been
such a roll call at the New Year season.
He did not know whether to attribute
it to nit increased activity on the part of
the police, or to the fact of there being
really more depravity. Nor were the
cases all of a- trivial nature, a mere oc-
currence of the ordinary' kind, where a
man gets overcome by taking a drop too
much, and is picked up in a tipsy state.
There were many of a very vicious
character, wicked assaults, acts of cruel-
ty and conduct of a disorderly nature,
The case of John Walsh, however, was
the worst of the BerieS. An aggregate
sentence of ten months was imposed.

quiet, and many of the dealers are still
busy stockebakang, and reports of the
results still spouts satisfactorily of the
past year% business, alt,hongh soz many
cases the volume of trade was not. so
large o,s that of a year ago. The retail-
ers are well through with the rushing
trade of the past few weeks. City rol-
ls:41°ns have improved, no doubt as a
result of the large cash trade done in
commotion the holidays.
Toronto advices say: There is as yet
little activity in the 'wholesale trade at
this centre. The outlook for the coming
season's ,tracilt, however, iso! the bright-
est description. The country stores,
however, in most lines are fairly well
cleared of goods. Collections lately have
been rather slower. An improvement. is
looked for in this respect during the
coming week.
At Quebec little change is noticed in
wholesale circles over rtamt of the pre-
ceding week. 'Travellers are taking the
road again, and business in general will
soon assume normal conditions.

Since then the Congers have become
friendly with the Dowager, Mrs Con-
ger often having been given private
audiences with the old woman. As a
result, it is said, the Dowager %En -Trees
has been converted to Christianity and
she has promised. great things.
• Minister Conger believes that as the
result of her casting her power and abil-
ity into the scale on the side of pro-
gressiveness, China will open its gates
to western people, ideas and institutions
and the empire will rapidly be Christian-
ized.
In short, there is just dawning the
day of the rehabilitation df the empire;
which will compare .on*ly with the regen-
eration of Japan when the ancient em-
pire was transformed into a thorougtily
modern power.

MIST ACT TO CHECK ANARCHY.
Stern Letter to the Czar From Royal
Head of Moscow Zemstose
St. Petersburg, Jan. 9. -Prince Trott-
betzkoy, Premdent of the Moscow
Zemstvo has written a letter to Prince
Mirsky, 'Minister of the Interior, de-
fending the diseussion of reforms by
the Moscow Zemstvo, which called
forth the condemnation of the Czar. Te
the eourse his letter, Prince Trou-
betzkoy says:
"Russia is now in a *ate of anarchy.
The revolutionary menment now pro-
ceeding is not a simple disturbance by
the youth of the country. It is it move-
ment which reflects the attitude of pub-
lic opinion, and it is very dangerous,
even terrible, net only for the people,
but for the Emperor. It is therefore
tho duty of every true Ruesitin subjeet
to do what he can to prevent the im-
pending calamity. recently had the
happiness to see the Emperor, and 1 re-
ported to him truly and in all sincerity,
the present Ante of public opbsion. I
tried to explain to Hie. Majesty that
What is now proceeding is not a simple
=cute, but it revolution.
",The Russian nation is being dragged
Into it rvelolution which it do -es not
want, and which may be prevented by
She Emperor if he shows confidence in
his people. It is my strong belief that
if the Emperor will hithself unite the
national forces around hint he will re-,
lieve Russia* from the terrora of an
impendin,g bloody revolution. If •Ile will
do so, the nation will support his auto-
cratic power. Under existing eonclitions
it is impoesible to forbid the people
from expressing their sufferinga, It is
impossible to keep silence when the
country is in it dangerous position."
