LONDON, Ont, June 14-The jury find
the capsizing of the steamer Victoria was
from water in the hole, which probably
leaked in through hole made by stone
or snag. The boiler was not securely las
tened and the staunchions supporting the
upper decks were too slender and weak.
The Engineer was grossly negligent in not
telling the Captain of the dangerous con,
dition of the boat The Captain is blamed
for being both Wheelsman and Cap
tain, having too little time for both
positions, and blamed for not properly
examining the boat before leaving Spring
bank. The manager failed in his duty in
not employing enough hands to man the
boat and in not having it inspected. Gov
eminent inspectors are to blame for pas
sing boat which was SO unfit to carry a
large load of passengers. The jury urges
the government to be more stringent.

statements. was brought out. Witness
stated that while at home on Saturday,
June 4th, in casual conversation with
acauaintances, he said that some of the
men had got thousand dollars each for
signing the call not to go into caucus, and
that he could get five hundred dollars and
please his constituents also by voting for
Depew, but he had no intention of doing
SO. Witness denied having stated to any
one that sensation or exposure might be
expected at Albany the following week,
but he did make some reference to the star
route frauds and exposures which might
be expected in Washington. Here the
cross examination ended, and the redirect
was again resumed The witness said he
thought from street and newspaper talk
that some members of the Legislature
could be bought, but his was the only case

Played on two Strings.

There is worldly-wise maxim
among old fashioned people about
making one hand wash the other A
sharp lodging-broker practiced it in
this fashion:
Two new tenants, a doctor and a
man of family, had just moved into the
building. On comparing notes they
discovered that they were paying more
rent than their predecessors in the
lodgings. +
This is how the willy landlord mani
aged it:
He had said to the man of family :;
These second story rooms are precise
ly what you want. And there is a
doctor in the story above you. So
that. if any member of your family is
taken sick, all you have to do is to slip
up stairs and summon him. Why, it
is worth 5000 year for convenience
and satisfaction.
And unto the doctor he had said:
There is man down stairs with elev-
en- children and a wife, and none of
them seems ever to have seen a we'll

Be Energetic.

1t is great mistake to be over-nice-
ly fascidious about work. Pitch IN
readily and your willingness will be
appreciated, while the 'highstoned'
Young man who quibbles about what
is, and about what is not his place to
do, will get the cold shoulder. There
is a story that George Washington
once helped to roll log that one Of his
corporals would not handle, and the
greatest emperor of Russia once work
ed as common wright in Eng
land to learn the business. That's just
what you want to do. Be energetic,
look and act with alacrity, take an in
terest in your employers success,
work as though the business was your
own and let your employer know
that he can place absolute re-
lance on your word and on
your act. Be mindful; have your
mind on your business, for it is that
which is going to help you, not those
outside attractions which some of the
boys are thinking about. Take a
pleasure in work; do not go about it
in listless, formal manner, but with
alacrity and cheerfulness; and remem-
Der that while working thus for others,
you are laying the foundation of your
own success in life.

Brick as Building Material.

Brick is one of the most durable OF
all building materials, more durable
than most kinds of stone and better
able to resist fire. The great national
collections of Europe, the British
Museum foremost in the number show
us bricks, sun-dried and baked, from
the ruins at Nlneveh, and from the
days of that city to the present mo-
ment bricks have never ceased to be
an important instrument in the hands
of the builder. That throughout Asia
Minor they were largely employed has
been proved by NJ. Bayet, who, in his
work on Miletus, has shown that the
far famed palace Of Crnsus was built
of no more costly materials than hon
est bricks. What those bricks were,
and their qualities, are even to this
day appreciated by the natives, who
for many centuries have plundered the
ruins to build or to patch up their own
even more ruinous houses. The use
of bricks among the Romans, who
largely employed them as building
materials, as we see in the familiar IN
stance of the Temple of Concord, has
been more than once the subject of the
inquiry of industrious antiquaries, for
the Romars were not content with pro-
ducing the flat tile like brick which is
so often to be met within the lower
portions of antique structures scattered
over the empire, and that are known
in England, but their bricks were in
delibly stamped with the mark of their
maker, the names of the reignlng con-
suls, and sometimes the year. From
this source, then, more than one patient
archaeologist has gathered rich store
of information.
