Ancient Drinks,

The Bible credits Noah with the in
vention Of wine, but no other record
has been found OF the first wine maker
The Oldest records known to man,
those Of Egypt and Assyria, show that
they knew how to make both wine and
beer and how to drink both Of them.
We have Egyptian pictures found on
the tombs and monuments showing the
whole process of wine making. The
grape juice was first fermented IN open
earthen pans and then poured into
earthen jars, which were closed with a
lid covered with pitch, clay or mortar,
and sealed. The Egyptians had sew
eral kinds Of wine as early as 5000
years ago.
Wine was the drink Of the wealthy,
but the poor Egyptians enjoyed beer
made from barley chops being I'M
known. This old beer was called
bega. Then they also had palm wine,
and another wine called baga, made
from dates or figs, besides wines made
from pomegranates and other fruits
and from herbs, such as rue, hellebore,
absinthe, etc.
The Assyrians were no abstainers
from wine; they could drink socially,
and, according to clay tablet found
in the library Of Assurbanipal, they
had no less than ten kinds of wine.
Beer, too, was made in Babylon and
Assyria, much like that used in Egypt,

Russia q Blind Nation.

There are more than twice as many
blind persons in Russia as In the whole
Of the rest of Europe. They number
$4,000, which is equivalent to two in
every 1000 of the population. 1t is
believed that blindness in Russia is so
prevalent because of the length OF time
which snow lies on the ground, and
also owing to the uncleanly habits Of
the people. Among all this number
only 200 or 300 are able to read, and
only about $500 are cared for in In
situations for the blind,

Two Natural Foes.

Water will extinguish fire because
the water forms coating over the
fuel, which keeps 1t from the air, and
the conversion Of water into steam
draws of the heat from the burning
fuel. A little water makes a fire
fiercer, while larger quantity of water
puts 1t out. The explanation is that
water 10 composed Of oxygen and hy-
drosen. When, therefore, the fire can
decompose the water into its simple
elements 1t serves as fuel to the flame.

the Causes of so much poor body, or but
