Stewards,

Coon stewards of the manifold grace OF
God! Every one to whom this grace
comes is to consider himself as its stew.
ard, and to act accordingly. The apostles
language is: "As eoery man hath received
the gift, even SO minister the same, one
to another. If any man teach, let him
teach as the oracles of God; if any man
minister "a term which may apply to any
kind of Christian serviCe), let him do it as
ofthe ability which God giveth.' A stew
ard is one who acts for another; who is
bound to dispose of what has been in
trusted to him for the advantage Of his
master, and in accordance with his mas
ter's wishes. 1t is a striking thought that
even in regard to Gods gifts of grace we
are considered but as stewards. He still
retains the title deeds of the estate in His
own hands, and says to us as His tenants:
OCCUPY till l come" While salvation
is all of grace it imposes the most solemn
obligations on the saved. While God has
His work, we have ours and as we cannot
do Gods work, God will not do ours.
Now this grace is as manifold in its re-
sponsibilities as in its revelation, opera
lions and results. We are stewards in re-
lation to the Gospel itself, which is the
revelation of His grace. 1t has been
committed to the church, not as a monop-
oily, but as a trust; and God holds her re-
sponsible not only for its preservation,
but also for its propagation through the
world.
We are stewards also i'll relation to the
various gifts and graces with which, as
Christ's disciples, we may have been en-
dOwed. Every gracious disposition, every
mental and bodily power, every calling in
life, every relationship in society, every
office in the church, our time, I'LL sub
stance, our influence, these are all con-
ferrcd on US as trusts, to be managed by
us, not for our W advantage and enjoy
ment merely, but for the welfare of socie-
ty and that God, in all things, may be
glorifed. No man liveth unto himself.
He who tries to do so is chargeable with
mlsmanagemcnt, and even with embez-
LltlliNllt, u ~ hih INN
He is robbing God and robbing his fell
low-men, without enriching himself.
Everyone has something which no other
has, and can do something Wilhelm 10 other
can. Every bullet, says the proverb, has
its billet, and, in like manner, every
Christian has his special mission. He is
what he is and where he is for some wise
and gracious end. He has his specially,
which it is his to cultivate for Christ. To
each and all, therefore, would l say, stir
up the gift that is in you. Be up and
doing; do something; do your best; do it
at once, and do it heartily as unto the
Lord. Don't be a mere cipher in the
church. Don't be a mere on-looker, still
less Pathfinder. Don't be a mere critic
in the Christian warfare, but an armed
and active combatant. Every citizen
must be a soldier to do battle with sin and
hasten the triumphs of the Cross.-N. Y.

Early Use Of Iron and Steel.

IT has sometimes been questioned
whether the Egyptians had a knowledge
of steel. 1t seems unreasonable to deny
them this knowledge. Iron was known
at the earliest times of which we have any
record. 1t is often mentioned in the Bible,
and in Homer; it is shown in the early
paintings on The walls of the tombs at
Thebcs, it has been found in quantity in
the ruined palaces of Assyria; and in the
inscriptions Of that country letters are
spoken of as having been made Of iron,
which is also mentioned in connection
with other metals so as to lead to the suppo-
sition that it was regarded as a base and
common metal. The quality of iron
which is now made by the native races of
Africa and India is that which is known
as wrought iron. DR.. Percy says the ex-
traction of good malleable iron, directly
from the ore, %"requires a degree of skill
very far inferior to that which is implied
in the manufacture of bronze" The sup
ply of iron in India az early as the fourth
and fifth centuries seems to have been un-
limited. In the temples of Orissa iron
was used in large masses as beams or
giriers in roof work in the thirteenth
century, and India well repaid any advan-
tage which she may have derived from
the early civilized communities Of the
West il she were the first to supply them
with iron and steel. If we look still
farther to the East, China had probably
knowledge of the Use of metals as soon as
India, and, moreover, had a boundless
store of iron and coal. A great future is
undoubtedly in store for that country; but
can the race who now dwell there develop
its resources, or must they await the aid
of an Aryau race? The art of extracting
metals from the ore was practiced at a
very early date in this country. The Ro-
mans worked iron extensively in the
Weald Of Kent, as we assume from the
large heaps of Stag containing Roman
coins which still remain there. Coal,
which was used for ordinary purposes in
England as early as the ninth century,
does not appear to have been largely used
for iron smelling until the eighteenth cen.
tury, though a patent was granted for
smelling iron with coal in the year 1911.
The use of charcoal for that purpose was
not given up until the beginning of this
century, since which period an enormous
increase in the mining and metallurgical
industries has taken place; the quantity
of coal raised in the United Kingdom IN
1878 having amounted to 127, DOC, 900 tons.
and the quantity of pig-iron to upward of
$500, 900 tons.-Popular Science Monthly
for N0Uember.

The Law of the Road.

PUBLIC roads are for the use of every
body to walk, ride, OF drive over, but
each man has an equal right to it, and so,
in order for all to exercise this right prop
erly and tremendously, certain laws and
regulations are necessary, and every man
who uses the road must do it subject to
these regulations. Ignorance of the law
will LOT clear a man who violates it, and
it therefore becomes the duty of every
one to know just what the law is in
regard to the common, everyday occur
rences of life. One of the most hotly.
contested lawsuits we ever attended was
the result of a collision between a car
riage and a loaded wagon on the public
road. The wagon took the left side of
the road because it was the best. The
carriage took the right side, as is custom
airy. A turn in the road and intervening
bushes prevented the parties from seeing
each other until too late to prevent a
collision, in which the carriage and horse
were both injured. The driver of the car
riage then brought suit against the driver
OF the wagon for damages. The plea set
up by the defendant was that he had a
right to the left track, it being the best,
against all light vehicles, and that the fast
driving of the plaintiff around the turn of
the road was the cause of the collision.
The plaintiff claimed that he was driving
in an ordinary trot, and that he turned out
to the left as soon as he saw the defendant.
He acknowledged that something attracted
his attention at the roadside, but, beingon
the right side of the track, it was not in
cumbent on him to use more than ordinary
care. The case was ably conducted on
both sides, and resulted in judgment for
the plaintiff.
We were reminded of this occurrence
by reading the account of a similar one in
"The Law Of Horses" noticed last week.
Miss Clegg, aged twenty, driving rapidly
over a hill, met Daniels coming with a
loaded wagon On the left side of the road.
Daniels turned out, but not in time to
avoid a collision that damaged Clegg's
horse and buggy. Clegg sued and recov
cred Judgment, on the following rulings:
While it is lawful for one to travel on the
left of the middle of the road when it is
not occupied by a person coming in the
opposite direction, still, as the law re-
quires him to turn out s~easonably when
he meets a team, it also requires him
to use more than ordinary care to keep
out of the way and avoid a collision. If
a collision occurs to the left of the CEN
ter of the road, and without the material
negligence of the other party, the
one driving on the left is liable. 1t is the
duty Of one on the highway to turn to the
right beyond the center of the road, and
this duty is the same whether imposed by
statute, custom, or common law. A man,
even if negligent, is not liable for damages
to another mans property if the other
could have avoided q collision by using
ordinary care, and that, too, though still
0 n the left Of the road at the time. A party

the ropes. Little girls are often included
among the performers, and they will roll
themselves into balls, bend themselves
back, and conduct themselves generally
as though made of india-rubber. They
thread needles with their toes, their eyes
being b~lindfolded; and with their eyes
pick up straws stuck upright in the
ground. Or they lift weights with their
eyes-a metal button being placed under
each eyelid in such a way that it adheres
to the pupil. To these buttons strings are
attached, connected with weights, some
times very heavy; and these are lifted a
little way from the ground without any
help from the hands. This spectacle,
however, has a cruel look that makes it

BETWEEN THE LIGHTS,

A LITTLE pause in life, while daylight fingers
Between the sunset and the pale moonrise,
When daily labor slips from weary fingers,
And soft, gray shadows veil the aching eyes.
Old perfumes wander back from fields of clover,
Seen in the light of suns that long have set;
Beloved ones, whose earthly toll is over,
Draw near, as if they lived among us yet.
Old voices call me; through the dusk returning
hear the echoes Of departed feet;
And then l ask, with vain and troubled yearning
What is the charm that makes old things 81
sweet?
Must the old joys be evermore withholden!
Even their memory keeps me pure and true;
And yet, from ont Jerusalem the Golden,
God s~peaketh, saying: II make all things new
Father" I cry, the old must still be nearer;
Stifle my love. or give ne back the past!
Give me the fair, old earth, whose paths are dearel
Than all Thy shining streets and mansions vast. =
Peace. peace; the Lord of earth and heayeC
knoweth
The human soul in all its heat and strife;
Out of His throne no stream OF Lethe ioweth,
But the clear river of eternal life.
He giveth life. aye. life in all its sweetness,
Old loves, old sunny scenes will He restore;
Only the curse Of sin and incompleteness
Shall faint thine earth and vex thine heart nc
more.
Serve Him in daily work and earnest living,
And faith shall lift thee to His sunlit heights;
Then shall a psalm Of gladness and thanksgiving
Fill the calm hour that comes between the lights

The jams, and Their Respect for An.
imal Life.

THE jams, a large and influential relig-
ious sect of the Hindoos, cherish a pro-
found respect for animal life, and not only
avoid harming any living creature, but
make it a rule to protect and succor
every ailing and helpless one that comes
within their range. The Jain priests
when in the streets wear a veil over their
mouths to prevent the possibility of swal-
lowing some tiny insect tluttering in the
air; and carry about with them a
broom with which to clear the spot where
they chance to sit, that they may not in
jure or crush any living things with their
weight. When the devout Jain meets
with a wounded animal he tenderly cares
for it, taking ii into his house and nurs-
ing it until it is healed. The rich mem
bcrs of the sect support hospitals for sick
and disabled animals, where their wants
are carefully provided for until they are
able to shift for themselves.
One of the largest of these hospitals is
situated in Bombay, in a thickly-populat-
ed district, and is open to all visitors. In
a large outer court, surrounded with
sheds, aiIing and decrepit oxen are en-
tertaincd. In this ward the strange spec
tacle is presented of patients with their
eyes bandaged and their legs bound in
congresses while those that are unable
to stand by reason of their many in
firmities are provided with beds of clean
straw on which to stretch themselves. At
tendants are in waiting to rub and dress
their coats, and bring food to the lame and
paralytic.
A second Enclosure is reserved for sick
and afflicted dogs and cats; and a third
contains diseased birds. aged cows"
says NJ. Roussclet, " spend their lives
peaceably in this Paradise of the brute
creation, in company with bald v%ultures
and buzzards that have lost their plumage.
At the other end of the court a heron,
proud of his wooden leg, strutted about in
the midst of blind ducks and lame fowls"
All the domestic animals and all the
tribes that dwell in the vicinity of man
have their representations in these hospi-
tails. Rats are among the most numerous
inmates, sharing the asylum with mice,
sparrows, peacocks and even jackals.
Connected with the hospital at Surat is a
spacious granary, where all the damaged
grain from the bazaars is thrown for the
benefit of myriads of cockroaches and in
Of various sorts that thrive upon
this wonderful bounty.

morning. After grooming give the other

A CLEVELAND girl who was on the
point of being deserted by her lover went
the other day, with a seven shooter in her
pocket, to "bring him to time" On
meeting him and the other one" she
clicked her pistol once, and prepared
again to shoot, when the faithless fellow
began to beg off. Get down on your
knees before me, then" commanded the
memorable maiden. With a groan Harry
complied. "Now get up and put your
arms around my neck, and hug and kiss
me-" said Coadie. ooh, don't! Have
pity on me-" cried Harry, as he wrung
his hands in deep distress. But the girl
compelled him at the point of her pistol
to do as she demanded, and the wretched
Harry was finally obliged to tell her thai
he would love her and her only during all
the rest of his natural life. And this, too,
IN the presence of a crowd of witnesses
who had been attracted to the spot. When
he was finally permitted to take his de-
parture he felt sad indeed.

A Tall Chimney Strengthened in q
Novel Way,

THE lofty c~himney-stack at Messrs.
Peter Mathews & Sons chemical works,
at ~Pitchcombe, Worcestershire, says the
London Building Nens, has lately become
very much out of perpendicular, but, al
most without any building or engineering
works being carried out, the stack has
been brought back to its original position.
The stack is 1872 feet high, and was built
in 1882 by Mr.. Gideon Morris. 1t had
gradually fallen from its upright position,
and Mr.. Augustus Matthews consulted
Mr.. H. j. Taylor, electric engineer, OF
Nailsworth, who tested its position, and
found it to be three feet ten inches out of
perpendicular, but undertook to restore it
to its original position by a process re-
quiring no scaiIolding. The terms were
agreed upon and accordingly Mr.. Taylor
commenced operations a few weeks ago,
assisted by three workmen. The chin
ney is of an octagonal shape, and the
operations of Mr.. Taylor consisted in cut
ting out one course Of bricks from five ofthe
sides and inserting a thinner course, and
then letting the chimney fall upon the
latter and 30 pull itself upright. Forthis
purpose he erected a platform about forty
feet from the base and with hammers and
chisels he and his men cut through the
chimney, which at this point was of
the thickness of about two feet. As
the bricks were removed from each
side, a thinner course was substituted
and the intervening spaces were filled with
iron wedges. This work lasted for about
three weeks, and unfortunately the wealth
cr was most unfavorable, being frequently
very boisterous, and naturally causing
considerable alarm, both to Mr.. Mathews
and the venturesome engineer himself.
However, the chimney stood through it
all, and when everything was in readiness
the wedges were Withdrawn by Mr.. Taylor
and his three men, and the stack was
brought within an inch or two of its per-
pcndicular position. 1t required nice
calculation to carry out this work, and
Mr.. Taylor is complimented on the ex-
actness with which he did it. He estimat-
ed that a quarter of an inch would bring
over the stack seven inches at the top, so
that he had to let ii down about an inch
and a half, and had he exceeded his cal
c~ulation by one-eighth Of an inch the
stack would have been brought too far
over, and there is little doubt that it would
have completely collapsed, and killed
those on the spot who were removing the
wedges, as the weight above where the
work was being carried on was estimated
at $50 tons. The erection of a new stack
would probably cost something like $500,
whereas this has been Strengthened at
about a tenth of the cost, and is now
stated to be in as good a condition as a
new one.
