| regret moi having been able to attend
the lecture given at St. Paurs Church School
house on Saturday evening by Mr.. Watts,
FIG. F.C.S. etc, Government Analyst of
the LeeWard Islands, as previously an
nounced in your paper.
] understand it was highly interesting and
there was a fair audience, composed chiefly
of planters.
The fact of my not having been present.
however, does not prevent me sending you
some account of il, as I interviewed a GEN
tleman, and lheg herewith to subioin what
he says about it, which | hope may not
uninteresting to your readers.
Briefly speaking" says my informant,
"the lecture was divided into two distinct
parts, one touching especially on the chemis-
try OF sugar, the other referring to the NOR
phology and physiology of the sugar cane.s
the former being accompanied by ~illustra-
tive experiments, and the latter by magic
lantern diagrams.
st arting with a lump of refined sugar as
the keynote t0shis veryinterestins discourse
the lecturer showed how IL consisted. so To
speak, of a lump of charcoal chemically
united with water, aud that by the action
OF a powerful separating agent like strong
su lphuric &C id on the tempting sweet we
were able to break it up into it's component
parts, the water being taken up by the acid,
and a .charred mass (charcoal or c~arbon)being
the residue.
Here followed the ex pertinent.
While the element carbon could not be-
further broken up by any known process:

We are indebted to some West End
friends for a very interesting sketch of the
lecture delivered by Mr.. Watts in that town
last Saturday.
MI. Watts, as everybody knows, is the
Government Chemist in the Leeward Is
lands, and his services appear to be highly
appreciated in Antigua, where he usually
resides. We trust that his short holiday in
this island has been in every respect a
pleasant one, and if his lecture and the
conversations which he doubtless has had
with some Of our planters, stir up our prac-
teal men to a desire to combine the results
ofthecretical knowledge with their practical
skill, his visit will be remembered here with
pleasure and satisfaction.
The Tennessee Singers" who attracted
so much attention in St. Thomas some
months ago returned there about three
weeks back, minus, however, their prima
donna, Madame Jones, whose singing was so
highly praised at the previous visit. Not
withstandlng this detection the company is
said to be still very strong, and their recent
performances in St. Thomas nave been high
ly spoken of in Lgbtbourne's Mail Notes.
We learn that the company intends paying
Santa Cruz q visit next week and will pro-
badly remain till abou t the 9Th of Deem
Der. Santa Cruzians will thus have a good
opportunity of hearing the singing about
which they have heard so much.

Saturday, 28th November 1891.

The weather during the past fortnight has
continued showery and has therefore been
very favourable for the growing crop. Most
of the planters are now satisfied that a fair
cropis secured; though, thirsty souls, they
still talk Of the desirability of having more
rain. The fall i'll Christiansted and Ere

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION

The Sunday school convention held
here on Saturday and Sunday turned
out a great success. From the moment
it was opened, the interest began to
grow, and the audiences with the in
terest, SO that on Sunday evening q
good many people were glad to find
standing room in the aisles of the Pres
byterian church. Judge Perkins, the
state superintendent of Sunday
schools, is man of moro than ordin-
airy interest,a large heart, and devoted
to his work. His devotion might be
expected when he left the judgeship
of the 18th district to do what he is
now doing for almost nothing. His
presence at the convention gave it an
inspiration. Mrs. Morrow too, from
St. Paul, helped to draw a lot of life
into it, by the practical and pointed
way she spoke, and from her facile
command of the English tongue. The
chief subjects talked over were the
best methods of conducting Sunday
school, preparing the lesson, teaching
classes, giving Of prizes and securing
attendance. In connection with the
last mentioned subject, the somewhat
startling statement was made that
there are 800 children in town who be-
long to no Sunday school. A union
meeting of the Young Peoples soci-
cites was held in the NJ. f. church at
$50, and the spirit which pervaded
was worth going long way to SEQ. A
similar convention is to be held in NJ ay

the tongue and later, as the cold developed
see the profuse watery expectoration and thin

be given Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely,

Extract from President Frances E.
Wizards speech at Wohd's Conven-
ton: "Crossing the ocean once our
captain said: The falling mercury in
dicates an iceberg near and he tackled
the ship always with the iceberg in
mind, though not in view, When the
fog dispersed we saw the spectral in
vader from arctic seas cleaning, saw
age, portentous. From the arctic seas
of unwritten ages, when victorious
warriors made themselvesdrunk using
the skulls of the yanquished as their
goblets, the liquor traffic has been
moving down upon us, cold, stern, and
deathlike; but out of sight, beneath
the water-line, it is honeyconbed al
ready, for there is q gulf-stream in
history that carries summer to every
shore it visits. It sets from the warm
heart of Christ; it flows from the BIZ
ble's open page, and by its mild and
steady power this whitened monster
of savage ages is more deeply disin-
tegrated than we think. It is tottering
to it's fall, and shall ere many genera
tons disappear under the steady, re-
sistless stream of love toward God and
love to man caused by the gospels
rising wave on every island, every
coast. Where there is drink there is
danger. This is our creed boiled
down. This is why we set the sturd :,
word teetotaler over against the soph-
istries of moderation, and to the silk
en- web of high license oppose the stern
granite Gibraltar of prohibition. We
have used softer names in relation tc
this curse than science teaches. We
have always spoken of the drink habit
and the liquor traffic, but words have
in them the power of life and death
of sin and holiness. It is time we said
poison habit and poison traffic. If We
are hated for these expressions, we are
hated anyhow; and if one discounts
the words he is at least obliged tc
think whether or not there may be any
truth in them.
''The name given strong drink in
Africa is 'shame-water.' Let Boston,
which last year sent from her wharves
to the Dark continent over a million
gallons of rum, valued at more than a
million dollars, mediate upon this
shame; let the ministers, elders, and
deacons who stood at the ballot box
beside bar-tenders and drunkards to
vote down the constitutional amend
ment for which Christian women had
prayed and pleaded, ponder on these
words-'shame- water'-and see how
wide their application"

Or. Madison Taylor, tho physician
OF James G. Blaine, is quoted in the
dallies as saying that "Mr. Blaine is a
we'll man. For his years, he is sturdy.
When [ began to attend Mr.. Blaine
last spring he was suffering from an
acute illness. He was in very bad
condition and completely broken down
by overwork. did not know what the
outcome would be. Now there is no
doubt in my mind, for Mr.. Blaine's
health is excellent. He is back to his
normal weight. He has good appe-
tite and sleeps we'll. Mr.. Blaine has
got we'll by the exercise of common
sense, not medicines. At Bar Harbor
he went out riding so far every day,
walked certain distance and played
handball fixed length of time. In
short, he conscientiously observed my
advice in the matter of exercises, and
now we are very much gratifed. Be-
fore his illness Mr.. Blaine was not a
man who would take much exercise.
Now he is the opposite. He has grown
to like it. MIR. Blaine wrote me a
couple of weeks before his visit here
that he walked about two miles every
day. Very often, he says he walks a
mile at a stretch. If Mr.. Blaine con-
tinues to take care of himself, as he is
now doing, I see no reason why he
should not live many years longer. He
has entered upon the ripe age, being
sixty-one years old, and he takes
pleasure in his present strength"
