A ssLaymnn's'' Views Regarding 'HThe Inlinerent Things
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 Ever since read the article in your paper signed Congregational Pastor" I have been wondering if that is the kind of food he feeds his flock upon. If it is, I should think they would starve to death For me it would be like sawdust and water. The Lord Jesus Christ told Peter to feed his sheep, but he did not tell him to. feed them on the things of this world. No, no. He knew they would starYe to death on that kind of food. So he says: sT am the bread of life; he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. :" Again, he says: ''I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any man eat of this bread he shall live forever" So we see, if we want to live forever, we will feed on the living bread. Glory be to God for the bread which satisfeth the longing of our immortal nature. When we seek for the pleasures of this world it is to satisfy aor carnal natures, and the carnal mind is enmity against God, so the enemy has got to be cast out and when he is cast out we shall not have him to satisfy. We must put of the old man and put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him. Again eff any man be in Christ he is new creature; old things are passed away; behold all things are become new" am bold to say that no man that has been truly converted to God and en- joys true religion will enjoy the amusements which the carnal man gets up.
 Some men start out to preach without be- ing called by the Holy Ghost. Others are called but depart from the faith. Paul speaks very plain on this point, q Tim. Al, ) ''Now the spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.'' Now this is the doc Urine preached by all those men that advo- cate dancing, card playing and theater going, and pray God that their eyes and the eyes of the people may be opened that they be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines Hear what John the revelator says Rev. 2:14-16 "But I have 8 few things against thee because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast stumbling block be- fore the children of Israel, to eat things sae- rificed unto idols and to commit fornication. So hast thou also them that hold the doe Urine of the Nicolaitans, which thing hate. Repent or else will come unto thee quickly and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth" (Rev. 3:16.) ''So then be, cause thou art lukewarm and neither coIo or hot will spew thee out of my mouth"

 Mir. Gersh Martin, of Peoria, whose talks about whisky are always interesting. says that the registered capacity of the distilleries in the United States is far in excess of the demand for consun ption. The market, 1t has been definitely ascertained, will not bear more than thirty per cent of the whisky which the distilleries can produce, and the problem, therefore, is what shall be done with the other seventy per cent. An abrupt UT IafSo E0QucG1Ou or the WHISKY tax would work injury, for the reason that still owners would be stimulated to large production and the market would be flooded At present, some of the owners of large and costly distilleries who cannot afford to be idle or to run at thirty per cent. of their ea- pacity, buy the allowed capacity of other distilleries until they have enough to run to their own full capacity-the distilleries sell. ing their capacity remaining idle. MT. Mar tin mentions one distillery which receives $6o day in this way without turning wheel. In this manner the profits of the business are divided among all the distillers, but the plan cannot be continued indefinite ly The only way out of the difficulty, in Mr. Martins opinion, is for distillers to com- bine for the purchase and complete dis mantling of the superhuous distilleries, to- gether with the destruction of the mash tubs, stills, rectifers, cisterns and all other parts necessary for distilling, and the utter of their capacity and register as distilleries.

On my arrival at Benisouef was aston ished to see the station platform crowded with shrieking women tWirling handker- chiefs in token of mourning. I thought that a funeral was taking place, the shrill cries betokening some such ceremony. The scene was one to attract attention.

Germany is overrun with vagabonds and beggars. It is estimated that there are 20G.- 900 of them in the empire, including thieves, pickpockets and other swindlers, and the au- thorities estimate the annual loss to honest people by their operations at the enormous sum of $25, GOO. .OOO. Many of these evil doers are brought before the magistrates from time to time, but both judges and juries are accused of administering too mildly evea the mild laws of Germany against vagabond- age. The evil has become so great that the government is understood to be preparing 8 severe law for bringing scouudrels of the va- gabond class to justice

 An important piece of industrial intelli gence is teIegraphed from Baku. Experi ments which have been in progress for some months past for putting into practice the discovery made by M. Ditmar for solidifying kerosene have been at length crowned with 1 success, and some thousands of tons of the new article are being prepared for the Euro pean market. It may be remembered that about a year ago some talk was occasioned in scientific circles by lecture delivered at St. Petersburg, in which M. Ditmar, who is a Swede, gave an outline of his discovery By certain process he stated he could convert kerosene and other similar oils into sub- stance having the appearance of tallow and cause it to revert again to it's original liquid condition without in the least impairing it's properties. Such an assurance naturally caused sensation in the Baku oil trade, and Ditmar was at once bounced upon by the ''oil kings" Nobel Brothers, and carried of to the Caspian to make good his assertions on the spot. That there must have been some- thing at the bottom of the discovery, in spite of hostile criticism abroad, is proved pretty eoncIusively by the circumstance that it should have been taken up by firm of such standing as that of which the Nobel Brothers are the directing spirits. The mon- etary interest of this firm in the conveyance of oil in liquid form amounts to 5000, 900 roubles-nearly million sterling-invested in some thousands of railway tank-cars and numerous cistern steamers, most of which would be rendered useless were the Ditmar process to come into general use By secur- ing the patent and services of their fellow countrymen the enterprising Swedes have preserved their undertaking from this danger at the hands of rivals, and can now utilize the discovery only so far as it suits their own interests. The form in which they intend to employ it for the moment consists in the manufacture of candles from kerosene and grosser petroleum products, which can be produced at Baku by the Ditmar process, It is stated, at price which will enable the No bel firm to undersell candles not only in Rus sia but throughout the continent

A bill requiring school committees to pur- chase school books for schools below the high schools and to lerd them to all the pu- pills under the regulations of the committee has gone to the third reading in the Massa- chusetts Senate and has some prospect of final passage It provides that books shall not be purchased for pupils who already have them. It is urged in favor of this plan that it economies the number of books used, as the same books will be used by several suc- cessive pupils. Better care will be taken of the books owned by the city, as they will be wholly in charge of the teachers and will not be taken home nights or in vacations, so that really fewer books will be required for the same community than where each family purchases it's own supply. Again, time is economized in getting to work at the open ing of terms, as there will be no delay occa- stoned by failure of pupils to get books.
