The New Catechism.

What's cider
Apple ro;ted.
Is there alcohol in cider?
There is. The sugar in the apple
juice decays and makes alcohol
What is wine?
Graper-iuice rotted.
Is there alcohol in wine?
There is. The sugar in the grape
juice decays and makes alcohol
What are currant, gooseberry,
cherry, blackberry, and elderberry
wines?
They are made of the juices of
those fruits rotted.
Is there alcohol in them?
There is always. The sugar in
these fruit-iuices decays and makes
alcohol.
But suppO they are sour or acid
fruits?
There is sugar in them all, besides
the acid; and very often in making
the wine, more sugar is added to
juices, thus making more alcohol!
Is there alcohol in beer?
There is some always.
But that is not made Of fruit-iuice
No; it is made of grain.
How is it made?
The starch of the grain is turned
into sugar and washed out, and this
when fermented or decayed makes
alcohol.
Is there alcohol in gin?
There is great deal more than
there is in beer.
How is it made?
By heating the beer until the al
cohol goes off in vapor, like that
from water, and then this is cooled
and makes the liquid called gin.
What is this process. called?
Distillstion.
Does this seperate the alcohol en-
tirely from everything else?
It does not. Gin is only about
one-half alcohol; the rest is mostly
water that comes over in the vapor
with it.
Why does water come with it?
Because alcohol has n very great
attraction for water and Will not
letit go readily.
What else is made in this way?
Brandy is made from wine and |
cider in this way; whiskey from ro-
tatoes, and from various kinds of |
grain; and rum, from sugar cane.
How much alcohol is in them?
They are little more than halt |
alcohol.
Isit the same kind of alcohol |
that is III the beer and the wine?
Precisely the same.
Does the disdlling make any diff
ference?
None at all. 1t only separates
it more or less, If it is wanted
very strong, it is distilled three or
four times.
And where does it come from in
the first place?
It's all made by the decay of
the sugar.
Is there no alchool in the fruits
and grains?
Not any. We might eat quart
of grapes without making us tipsy,
while the alcohol that could be made
from them; would, by itself, kill us
very quickly.
But how can alcohol be procured
from fruits and grains, if it is not al
ready there?
BY chemical action, which chang
es the nature of things, which gets
soap out of grease and alkali, though
there is no soap in either.
What is this chemical action
that makes alcohol?
It is the decay of the sugar
There is no alcohol in the fruits and
grains designed for our food until
they are dead and rotten, and no
longer ct for food:
Are any of these decayed or rot
ten matters nutritious?
They are not. There is not so
much food in pint of wine or beer
as there is IN a single grain of wheat.
Are they poisonous?
Some Of them are. The alcohol

A Detroit saddler owns a monkey
which usually sits on the counter.
A countryman came IN one day,
while the proprietor wasin the back
room, andseeing a saddle that suited
him, asked the price. Monkey said
nothing. Customer said, 'TI give
you twenty dollars for it," laying
down the money, which monkey
showed in the drawer. The man
took the saddle, but monkey mount
ed him, tore his hair, scratched his
face, and made the frightened rustic
scream for dear life. Proprietor
rushed in and wanted to know what
the fuss was. "Fussl" said the Gus
toner, 'sfussl I bought a saddle Of
your son, sitting there, and when l
went to take it, he would not let m
have it." The saddIer apolog' Esd
for the monkey, but denied the re-
lationship.

SHOW ME THY WAY.

Dark the night, the snow is falling;
through the storm are voices calling;
guides mistaken and misleading,
Far from home and help receding;
Vain Is all those voices say
Show me Thy way!
Binder than those who guide me;
Let me feel Thee close beside me!
Come as light into my being!
Unto me be eyes, All-seeing!
Hear my hearts one wish, / pray:
Show me Thy way
Son of Man and Lord Immortal,
Opener of the heavenly portal,
In the all my hOEe is hidden;
Never yet was soul forbidden
Near Thee, always near, to stay;
Show me Thy way!
Thou art Truths eternal morning;
Led by Thee, all evil scorning,
In the paths of pure salvation
l shalt find Thy habitatiOn,
whence none ever more viii stray;
Show me Thy way!
Thou must lead mo, and mono other
Iruest lover, friend, and brother,
Thou art my SOULS shelter, whether
Stars CLEAN out or tempests gather;
In Thy presence night is day:
Show me Thy way!
