Homemade Wine and Cider.

The Sunddy-School Times says: "A pet
theory Of those who are unwilling to accept
total abstinence as truest temperance in tho
line Of liquor drinking is that pure wines and
cider are comparatively harmless in contrast
with adulterated liquor. Yet there is no
form of drunkenness which has more OF
brutality in it than that which is the result
Of cider drinking; and from the days Of
Noah to the present day, a man who has
been made drunken by home made wine is
likely to be as disgracefully drunken as if it
were strychnine whisky which had brought
him down. Only a few days ago a silk
weaver in Hebron, Conn.,, murdered his wife
and two children and then set fire to the
house. He was Swiss immigrant, and be-
lieved in home made liquors. The telegraph
report reads: He had half a dozen barrels OF
home made wine and cider in his cellar. and
drinking from these made him crazy and
promoted the murder II the blood stained
ashes of his household show the sort Of home
made by home made wine and cider, total alb
stinence from these liquors would seem to be
the truest temperance"

Arcadia i'm the Pacific.

In the Southern Pacific is a little
island with few surrounding islets,
which, if all accounts be true, comes as
near to Moore's utopia" or Bacon's

Norfolk Island comprises about 5000
acres of land in all, which are mainly
divided up into farms of fifty acres
each, and every newly-married couple
gets one OF thcss farms as a wedding
dowry. According to the report of our

The phrase used by the new German
Emperor in referring to himself in his
recent manifesto to the army has puzzled
the American translators, according to

it ''chief" and ruler of the army" and

decided that the nearest English to it Is
'Lord of War"
