Antiquity of Eishinn.

Probably no branch of industry can
lay claim TO greater antiquity than
that Of fishing. Its origin would seem
to be coeval with the earliest efforts
Of human ingenuity. for the oldest
monuments OF antiquity show the fish-
eFman in full possession OF the imple-
ments Of his calling. and even those
tribes OF savages which have learned
neither to keep hocks nor to till the
fields are skilled in the fabrication Of
the hook. the tish spear and the net.
The earliest civilization OF the eastern
Mediterranean was begun with fishing.
Sidon. which means fishery" was
originally a ishIng village. and its en-
terprising inhabitants devoted their at
tention mainly to the collection OF q
certain kind OF mOllusks, from which
they prepared the famous tyrian pur-
pie. priced more highly for the rich

SIZE OF BUT LITTLE MOMENT
The Most Deadly and Destructive Foes
o. Mankind Are Of Minute Pro-
portion.

In one OF Herbert Wells brilliant
stories the terribly scientific and
practically invincible Martians who
have invaded the earth and conquered
England are stopped in the midst of
their victories and utterly destroyed
by the attacks Of microscopic foes.
Infinitely small organisms. germs of
diseases to which man has become in
some degree immune, Stay the won
derful warriors of a planet never in
vaded by these earth foes. What the
greatest battleships and the heaviest
guns could not do the unseen and
unknown living seeds Of death 40
complish.
More clearly every day the world
understands that in the life and af-
fairs of mankind the most deadly
and destructive foes are extremely
small. All of the fierce mammals and
poisonous serpents of Africa do not
kill as many human beings in ten
years as the tsetse fly Stays in one.
The tigers and cobras of India kill
their thousands every year, but the
rats which spread the germs OF the
bubonic plague destroy their tens OF
thousands. In this country the COM
mon house fly undoubtedly causes
more deaths than all the venomous
snakes, wild beasts, mad dogs, run
away horses and all-tempered bulls,
ten times over. Tie actual proper
ton is probably much higher than ten
to one.

A Quaint Tract.

A quaint tract entitled Woe TO
Drunkards." being sermon by
Samuel Waid, preacher. OF Ipswich.
was printed in London in 1927. The
preacher based his remarks upon
Proverbs xiii, 1882 ("Look not thou
upon the wine when 1t is red" etc.),
and illustrated his arguments by ex-
amples from various parts Of the
kingdom of Gods judgments ON
drunkards." Among other instances
he quotes the following one from
Tenby; "At Tenby. in Pembroke
shire, a drunkard being exceedingly
drunke broke himself all to pieces of
an high and steep rock in most feare-
full manner. and yet the occasion and
circumstances OF his fall so ridiculous
as / thinke not fit to relate, lest in so
serious a judgement / should move
