IT appears as if the people of the
United States were steadily reducing
their consumption OF .quinine and other
cinchona alkalOids. Year after year
since 1887 the importasions of cinchona
bark have been diminished In 1898 the
amount imported was less than half

his ape toward basket OF dates in the

it, but while performing edged closer

APuzzIin o 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
provement in the church as well as
the newspapers. 1t is quito reason
able to send missionaries out of the
country when there is more work for
them at homo than can be attended
to? Surely the souls Of Chinese, Jap
anese and CoreanS are not more prec-
ious than those of the missionaries
own countrymen and cOuntrywOmen.
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?
What would the brethren say of the
business sense of merchant who
should start branch stores all over
the world, when he had to confess
that he wasn't equal to managing
the original concern satisfactorily?
Or of the sanity Of man who should
scatter his wealth among strangers
and not furnish his own family with
ait the food they required?
We are aware Of the scriptural in
junction to preach the gOSp.l to every
creature, but the scr pture also makes
q certain comparison between the
infidel and him who does not provide
for his own household that is not to
the disadvantage Of the inddel.

The Name OF Alcohol.

The reservation Of the name of
alcohol for the product of the distil-
lation of wine is modern. Till the
end of the eighteenth century the
word, Of Arabic origin, signified any
principle attenuated by extreme pull
verization or by sublimatiOn. 1t was
applied, for example, to the powder
of sulphuret Of anthony (kOheuD,
which was used to blacken the eyes,
and to various other substances as
we'll 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 and 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 distillati0n
of wine. But he used it not as
q specific name, but in order to mark
the assimilation which he made Of 1t
with the product drawn from wine.
The elixir of long life Of the an
Gent alchemsts had nothing in COM
mon with our alcohol Confusion of
the two has led the historians OF
science into more than one error. -
