leave them in our baggage.
We leave in a few minutes for Chibua-

light dinner perhaps, but always slipping
their vine. A bottle Of Bordsau costs
no more than a franc, or a half bottle,
which is half a pint, for eight cents. This
wine is not intoxicating unless taken in
great quantities. l have seer boys ten
years old get away with a pint bottle,
their parents sitting by and offer
ing no objection. There is little or
no drunkenness to be seen. and so much
vine drinking, is certainly q less evil
than the immoderate use Of hot spurious
liquors which / observed everywhere in
Scotland, Ireland and England. Yet l
cannot help thinking that the constant
use Of even mild wine from childhood up
accounts in some degree for the many fat,
puffy children, the p%rematurely devel-
oped girls and young men, the early
corpulency of matrous, and the dull,
CLASSY expression of SO many Of the
