SOUTH SORANTOIC.
Since the new process of h "itlng has
been put In place nt tho South mill the
average output of rails at tin works
has derreased greatly and the pi -sent
state of affairs there will not admit of
their reaching the standard. In ii ler
to meet tho demands of orders received
some additions had to Ikj made. Yes
terday morning a gnng of men were
placed at work making excavations for
four new soaking pits, the eight recent
ly built being unable to keep pace with
the melting department. After the
work on tho new pits Is completed tho
vulcan cranes will be constantly carry
ing tho Ingots from the pits and will
eventually Increase the output at the
works. The first set of pits which were
put In place have been overtaxed with
work and the material composing the
pits has consequently given way to the
strain, causing an Idleness in the near
future. The walls will have to be torn
out and replaced by a heavier material.
The gas-producers will also have to bo
repaired and enlarged, in order that
they may bo able to furnish gas for the
additional pits. After the work Is com
pleted, General Manager Wehrum ex
pects to beat the standard run under
tho old method of heating by a large
margin of tons. The additional pits
will give employment to u number of
extra men.

"God's Message to us by His Son"
was the subject of Evangelist Cobb's
sermon at new assembly on Drinker
street. It was based upon Hebrews 11.
The speaker said In part: "Every
messsage God has sent to us Is worthy
of the closest nttentlon. He has never
spoken except for our good. We are
never so happy as when we are obey
ing God's voice. Our text teaches that
God bus often spoken to man, at dif
ferent times and In various ways. Ho
spoke to our first parents in the gar
den 6,000 years ago. How happy they
would have been if they had obeyed
him. God spoke to Moses, to Abraham,
to Jacob and many of the patriarchs.
But In these later days he has
spoken unto us by his son. Now we
may learn something nbout the Im
portance of this message by the char
acter of the one chosen to bring It from
the skies. The object of the epistle
to the Hebrews Is to show the exalted
character of Christ and to warn us
not to reject His message. This Is
done to point out that wheras God
spoke In time past to tho angels and
prophets He now speaks to us by His
son."

Homer speaks of a wine to which
twenty time. as much water could bo
added. The Itoman lover, when drink
ing to his lady, often drank ae many
cups of wine as there wero letters in
her name. Warm water was some
times regarded by tho Romans as an
agreeable drink at the conclusion of
tlia chief meal. It Is safe to nnsume
that this was not in summer time.
Famous among drinkers wero the
Viklns, whose liquors were ale, beer,
wine and mead. Quaffing ale from tho
skulls of their enemies formed ono
of the chief attractions of the prom
ised Valhalla.
All through our history wo find a
love of drinking prevalent among tho
people. A drink much In demand in
the time of Chauneer was bracket,
mado of tho wort of ale, honey and
spices, ny the time of Edward IV
drinking had become so productive of
crlmo that few places wero allowed
more than two taverns. London had to
bo content with forty. Under tho
Stuarts drunkenness was at Its height.
Thirst provokers were largely taken,
and a man's claim to distinction was
largely duo to his bottle capacity,
while ladles of tho court thought It
no shame to become Inebriated. Tho

three or five-bottle man was an ob
ject of envy to his fellows. Indeed,
the scenes of Hogarth arc but a side
light of tho times. Signs were hung
outside tavers Informing the thirsty
wayfarer that he "could get drunk for
a penny," and "dead drunk for a two
pence." Such notices often ended with,
tho significant words, "Clean straw
for nothing. With the reign of Georgo
IV disappeared fashionable Intemper
ance, and "drunk as a lord" was no
longer a correct simile. The aerated
waters now so largely used were first
mode on a large scale by Schweppo
of Geneva In 17S7, and ten years later
a factory was established In England.
There is still a fortune awaiting tho
man who can Invent a summer drink
devoid of the shortcomings possessed
by those at present In the market.
