are greater reasons to-day against the use

An Interesting Lecture on the History
of Alcohol.
A lecturer who was speaking on
"The History of Alcohol began by ex-
planning the universal prevalence of
stimulants or narcotic drugs as show
ing the universal craving of mankind
for something to hide the trials and
troubles Of life. He spoke briefly
about the early beverages of the an
cient Hindoos and Chinese, and then
illustrated the drinking habit of the
ancient Egyptians with a curious col
lection of lantern slides. The habits
and customs of ancient Greece came
next, and the worship of the great god
Dionysus, or Bacchus, was illustrated
by some splendid photographs of vases,
statues and bas-relefs. Their wine
was drunk diluted, never stronger than
half water and frequently with two.
four and even fifteen parts of the
milder fluid. Mention was made of the
curious nature Of their wines, the adj
mixture of honey and spices. of resin
and turpentine, even salt water, and
the question of fermented and infer
mented wines among them and the
ancient Hebrews. The use of wine
among the more hardy and less civil
lized Macedonians was less refined and
the exploits of Philip and his son Alex

The New Picnic,

The announcement that a numerous
and influential association Of Chicago
ans has decided to do its pienicking on
week days this year is preference to
Sundays is probably the beginning OF
an important revolution. The city
picnic has ever been an institution Of
distinctive and most peculiar features.
and if it began in wholesale larceny
and ended in riot the supposition was
that city folk preferred their picnics
that way: that they found the undi-
iuted picnic as it obtains in purely
rustic communities too dull and I'M
eventful for their palates. AS soon as
the grand Sunday excursion and picnic
is announced, the pickpockets and the
strong-arm gentlemen and their
friends make arrangements to lend
their sophisticated and enlivening
presence. The entertainment begins
with the deft manipulation of the
lighter craftsmen at the station and
while the train is getting under way.

ators. Sometimes the latter merely
terrorize the passengers for a half
hour or so. taking what is handy, and
depart. Sometimes they insist on be-
coming part of the picnic. greatly to
the discomfort and detriment of the
other parts. Thus through a success
sion Of exciting alarms and ARRAYS the
day is passed. 1t has loug been sup
posed that this was the style OF picnic
which the urban taste demanded. But
| if there is a movement TO have the
| picnics on week days this superstition
| may be ill-fOunded.

only stammer: Its /, my lord; it's 1,
my lord; the village cock! 'Tis /, my

the breeder OF fowls has made indef-

into his business than some of his
more pretentious brethren. l do not
see that the prices of fresh eggs and
market poultry have fallen much for
the average of the year, notwithstand-
ing the low price of corn and oats.
Western farmers had better convert
more of this grain into poultry prod
ucts. Manufacture the raw grain into
the finished poultry commodities. Man
ufactured articles naturally bring
larger prices than the cruder products.
The great point in producing poultry
products for critical city markets is to

Lesson Preview.-There is a closer re-
lation between 1.-The things offered TO
idols" and the temperance question or TO-
day than appears upon the SURFACE.
Among the heather it was customary 10
offer to "the gods only such parts OF the
animal as were unfit to be eaten. as the
heart and intestines. These were burned
upon the altar and the rest of the ami
ma! was divided between the priest ana
the worshiper Sometimes the meat was
eaten at a feast in the precincts OF the
idol temple: sometimes 1t was taken
home: sometimes it was sold in the mar
ket The precise Jews everywhere re-
fused to eat such meat, and 1t was
question whether Gentle Christians
should partake of it. Some considered
that TO do so was TO seem to give sane
ton to the worship of idols, and thereby
to dishonor Christ. There were also some
who. just set free from heather supersu-
ton. could not eat the idol meats without
a certain feeling that they were adorinS
the idol. and through it they were i'm dam
ger of going back to their old practices.
