lrhe Name or AIcnhnl

The reservation of the name of
alcohollfor the product of the distil.
lation dt wine is modern. Till the
end of 1.-THE eighteenth century the
word, Of Arabic origin, signified any
principle attenuated by extreme pul.
yerilatpn or by sublimatlon. 1t was
applied, Tor example, to the powder
of sulphuret of anthony 0oheuN
which was used to blacken the eyes
and to various other substances as
well as TO spirits of wine. No author
has been found of the thirteenth
century, or even of the fourteenth
century and later, who applied the
word alcohol to the product of the
distillation Of wine.
The term spirit of wine. or ardent
spirit, although more ancient, was
not in use in thu fhirteenth century.
for the word spirit" was at that
time reserved for volatile agents. like
mercury, sulphur, the sulphurets of
arsenic and sal ammOniac, which
were capable Of acting on metals and
modifying their color aud properties.
The term eau-de-yie was given in
the thirteenth and fourteenth centu-
ries TO the elixir Of long life 1t was
Arnaud de Villeneuve who employed
it for the first time to designate
the product of the distillation
Of wine. But he used it not as
a specific name, but in order to mark
the aSsimi ation which he made of it
with the prduct Drawn from wine
The elixir Of long life Of the an
Gent alchemists had nothing in com
mon with our alcohol. Confusion of
the two has led the h storians of
science into more than one error. -

APnzzling Emigration.


On Tuesday last a dozen Baptist
missionaries sailed from this port for
China, Japan and Corea Such an
event Is not unusual, but in view Of
the lecturing that the press of late
has been receiving from the pulpit,
the Post feels justified in taking the
reciprocal liberty Of inquiring of the
brethren if there is not room for i'm
proyemcut in the church as well as
the new, papers. 1t is quite reason
able to send missionaries out Of the
country when there is more work for
them at hem than can be attended
t.? Surely the souls of Chinese, Jap
anese and Coreans are not more prec-
ious than those of the missionaries
own countrymen and countrywomeu.
Is all the money that is needed for
home missionary service in hand and
a surplus accumulated to be drawn
upon for the support of the laborers
who departed hence on Tuesday?
