There is no doubt bnt tn" alulior-
alton of liquors of every kind with
all sorts of poi,ons has greatly in
creased the cells of drinking and
drunkenness. But admitting for II
moment that there would he less
drunkenness should We substitute
pure wines for distilled spirits, how
is the change to lie brought about?
As long as wines or liquors of any
kind are sold, just SO long will they
be adulteratcd rs they now are, and
the only way to stop it is to strike at
the root of the whole thing. and pro-
hihit the manufacture and srlc Of
any and MI kinds Of spiritnous liq-
uors. But there is rot less drunken
ess in wine-making countries than
others, There is more drunkenness
in Paris than in any city on earth.
The same is true of most wine-grow-
ing countries. France produces 500,
600, 900, gallons of wine i'll year,
and Mt the same time consumes more
brandy than ANY other nation i'll pro-

"A preacher" the latter replied.

The Arabs Never Surrender.

London Telegraph.
As at Teb and Tamai, the wounded
Arabs refused to be made prisoners, and
great caution had to be exercised in
moving about the field not only to avoid
the covert stabs dealt by the bleeding
Arabs, but the rushes and cut of the
fanatics who slammed death in order
that they might the more surely get a
chance of burying their weapons in one
of us.
Exploring along this wady party of
our men came upon six dead and four
wounded Arabs lying under bushy
dwarf mimosa tree. The soldiers had an
interpreter with them, and the Arabs
were called upon to surrender and come
out. That they said they could not do;
would the soldiers come and take them.
The four wounded men still held their
spears in their hands. Very good,
said our soldiers, put down your spears,
and we will see you are well treated, and
do all we can to cure your wounds
The answer of the four Arabs came
fierce and concise Put down our
spears, infdel dogs By God and the
prophet, never - There was a crack of
Martini-Henrys. You can guess the rest.
