DROPS OF WATER.

insure every drop striking the same

naraus for dropping the water was
adjusted and the experiment began.
For the first As minutes he expert

becoming uncomfortable from being

the water at blood heat, and il soon

hand being apparently numb to the
water although sensitive to the touch

water began TO become slightly pain

A MARIETTA MANS PLAN.

Flag Lieutenant T. M. Brumby, for
merly of Marietta, Ga, and a relative
Mr. james r. and Mr.. T. M. Brumby
of this place, is given credit by Admiral
Dewey for suggesting the plan which
was carried into effect in the destruc-
ton of Admiral Montojo's Spanish fleet
at Manila. The story is told by f. w.
Hardin of the Chicago Tribune:
April 10th of last year fell on Tues
day. and during the forenoon of that
day there was conference between
the admiral and his commanding Off
GERS in the admirals cabin Of the Olym-
pia.
From the reports which had been re-
ceived from Manila it was believed Ad-
Montojo would choose one of two
places for, an engagement. 1t was ex-
pected he would keep his ships either
under the protection Of the forts which
lined the bay at Manila and Mt Cavite,
or that his fleet would go to Subig bay,
forty miles to the,north Of Corregidor.
and there await the coming OF the
Americans. In the disposition of plans
of probable attack, Admiral Dewey
suggested forming his ships in line ana
going in bows-on to fight the Spaniards
| if they were found at either of the
places named. His plan was to go at
them at close range, and to fight with
every gun that could be trained upon
their ships and forts.
Mr.. Brumby suggested keeping our
ships under way and passing in front Of
the Spaniards, firing broadsides and
/ turning, so as to bring the other guns
of the ships into action. This was the
plan finally agreed upon and carried
into effect with such success. The de-
sire of Admiral Dewey to give full
credit to those who deserved it caused
him to discuss this matter freely after
the victory. He told me personally Of
of the suggestion Mr. Brumby made
and Of its adoption.

CHRIST TURNING WATER
into WINE,
A Reader Says 1t Was Not
intoxicating

Eds. JoURNAL-Let us examine the
wine made at the wedding celebration
in Cana of Gallilee. In the sermon re-
! ported in last weeks Journal, the
preacher 'combatted forcefully the
theory held by some ignorant ministers
and temperance advocates that the Sa-
vior never countenanced the drinking
of fermented wines, holding the Greek
word "oinos" in this case means alco-
holic wine.
Many conscientious people differ on
this subject. The most eminent He
brew and Greek scholars smile at the
idea that Christ made alcoholic wine at
the wedding feast.
A careful examination of the Hebrew
Bible and the Greek New Testament
will reveal the fact that more than one
kind OF wine is recognized and there
are sharp distinctions between them.
One is spoken of as the cause Of intoxi-
cation and woe the other as the cause
of comfort and peace. The use of one
is positively forbidden Elsa. 5:1l-22)
the other is allowed and rapked with
corn and oil, Deut. 11:14.) The He
brew is surprisingly rich in synonyms
and has several words to designate
what the English scriptures term in
discriminatory "wine." Space will not
allow us to go into detail. The testing
of the Hebrew Bible turns mainly on
three words and their uses. "Yayin"
is generic word and stands for wine
in general. The one hundred and forty
times where this word occurs shows
that it is used with favor and with dis
favor and not intended to denote the
nature of the commodity.
Whenever the Old Testament speaks
of wine that is commended, associated
with corn and oil and its use approved,
the word is "tirosh." This occurs thir-
ty-eight times and is the specific word
for Misunderstanding wine. Daniel de-
MED himself during his fast, Daniel
11:3) different thing from the kings
wine, which he always declined.
To the juice, as pressed by the hand
in Pharaoh's cup, Gen. 4O:10-1l,) to
boiled wine, and to manifold preserva-
lions of the fruit of the vine.
| When the Old Testament wishes to
specify an Intoxicating kind OF wine
that is condemned the word "shekar"
is used, and we find it AZ times. The
English Bible usually translates it
strong drink. There is not an instance
in the Bible where this word enjoys the
Divine approval.
The most valuable corrohorative evil
dence is the testimony of. the Greek
version of the Old Testament, made by
I Greek Hebrew scholars more than two
hundred years before Christ. The tes-
timony of the Septuagint supports the
doctrine here taught that "yayin" i.
the gennic term for wine, that "tirosh'
always means unintoxicating wine.
"Oinos" is the Greek New Testament
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1899-04-27

word for wine and in not one Of the
passages is ..oinos" used in a bad sense.
or any other sense than s.tiroshv is
used in the Old Testament.
Elsewhere it is reported that the
preacher said 1.-THE guests at the Cana
wedding were so muddled by the ef-
fects Of wine that they were unable to
discover the good from the bad wine. \,
Now add the water jars ~full to the

they contained and what would be the.

FOR THE FARMER.
Charcoal ON the Farm.

To make charcoal, says the Phil
adelphia Ledger, cut wood into 4-foot
lengths, stand on end around light
material and wood until there is a
cord or two. Cover with leaves or
straw, with an outside shell of dirt.
Make draught places around the
bottom. Leave hole at the top
and down this drop live Goals. When
the fire is we'll burning within,
cover the hole at the top. Be care
full to keep all holes, except at the
bottom, closed till the wood is we'll
charred; then uncover and pile to
one side.
Corn cobs burned in the same
way are almost a necessity in the
poultry yard or pig pen. Wherever
pigs or chickens are kept the Spring
bonfres Of brush and litter should
be to make charcoal, by smothering
the fire and the remains saved for
the ruins or pens, or in the absence
of live stock for the garden beds.

October, through which some
5000, 900 geese pass, some for con-

the geese come from the Govern

have come long distances which
would ruin their feet, to prevent
which they are "shod." AS it is call

INTHE FLOWER OF YOUTH
was Mrs. d, 8. Walker Stricken by the
Grim Reaper.

Grim Reaper.
One of the saddest events which has
occurred in long time in St. Paul was
the sudden and unexpected death of
Mrs. Bradley S. Walker, which occur
red at St.. Luke's hospital last Satur-
day. Only one week from last Sunday
she sang in the choir of Pilgrim Bap-
fist choir at the funeral of Mr.. T. H.
Griswold, and the next Sunday she was
herself a corpse. She was born in Hot
Springs, Ark, Feb. 6, 1876, and came
to this city when quite young, where
she grew to womanhood beloved by
all who knew her. About two years
ago she was married to Mr.. Bradley S.
Walker, and there life has been one
dream of love made happier by one
child. She was member of st. James
A, M. E. church, but sang in the choir
of Pilgrim Baptist church, being the
possessor of magnificent soprano
voice her services as vocalist were in
much demand. She died from the eff
fects of an operation which was per-
formed for APPENDICITIS. Her funeral
occurred at st. James church Monday
afternoon. The church was crowded to
overlooking. The floral tributes were
many and very beautiful. Rev. J. c..
Anderson, Rev. D. S. Orner and Rev.
w. S. Brooks conducted the services.
Rev. Anderson preached a touching
sermon, taking for his text Luke 49,
-: when Jesus saw her He called
her to Him, and said unto her, woman
thou art loosed from thine infirmity.' y
The Thimble club, of which the de-
ceased was member, attended the
funeral in a body. The pail bearers
were Messrs. w. T. Francis, R. Beard,
T. r. King, w. V. Howard, J. w. Card
ner, c. A. Mason. The choir Of the
church rendered special music. The
remains were inferred in Oakland GEM
etery.
