The Words OF Paul, Acts XXII-20
"And when the blood of the mar
tyr, Stephen, was being shed, also
was standing by consenting to his
DEATH"
Rev. Darling spoke upon the SUBJ
ject of Corporate Responsibility"
last Sunday evening at the Presby-
terrain church. Following is a por-
ton of the things he said:
paul had not cast stone, nor
a vote, nor joined the rabble, but,
on the other hand, he had not pro-
tested against the wrongs; where
fore he felt, and justly, that the
blood of Stephen was upon his
hands also.
mo man stands alone In life;
you are not Robinson Crusoe on
a desert island. A family is made
up of the concurrent faces of father,
mother, son and daughter; if any
one of these contributes to the bad
influences in that family, he is di-
rectly responsible for the results;
if he fails to contribute to the good
he is as truly responsible. The
same is true of the layer family of
the community and the state.
''No man can stand aside and
say, Il have nothing to do with
this He has something to do with
it. If he helps to swell the corrup-
ton and evil he is guilty; if he
does not help to resist the evil he
is guilty. Where does this place
you and me on the question of the
liquor traffic, that is generally con-
coded today to be moral evil, an
economic evil and a great factor of
political corruption? Let us apply
the principles spoken of above.
"W 9 are responsible for the indi-
rect influence of our lives. No
man can say, Il will drink, will
gamble, it won't hurt me and it's
nobody's business what I do. He
is a part of family and of COM
munity, and he is responsible to
the family and community.
"Men are responsible for the con-
sequences of their acts in the re-
suits bequeathed to their children.
There are lots Of Adams.
Every man is responsible for
the things he empowers others to
do. Here is where the license system
is morally wrong. Will you take
dollars from your child? And il
is a matter OF common knowledge
that alcohol takes yearly a heavy
total of life, to say nothing Of it's
toll of moral business and profess
sionsl wreckage. But the license
system is bad business PROPOSE
ton as well. With the expense Of
80 to 80 per cent of insane asylum
expenses. of criminal prosecution
poor house expenses and the same
of orphan asylums chargeable di-
rectly to alcohol, how far will Ii,
cence money go toward paying
these same?"

The attention of the Department
has been called to the last clause of
paragraph Al of the mining regula-
tions, approved March 29, 1909,
which provides as follows:
"The vein or lode must be fully
described, the description to include
statement as to the kind and
character of mineral. the extent
thereof, whether ore has been ex-
tracted and of what amount and
value and such other facts as will
support the applicants allegation
that the claim contains valuable
mineral deposit"
1t seems that the expression,
"the extent thereof is being con-
strued as meaning that the appli.
cant must affirmatively show by
proof of exploration that the vein
exists in fact throughout the whole
length of the claim.
This construction OF the para
graph is erroneous. By the words
quoted it was intended to require
the claimant to show the existance
Of a vein in such workings as he
relied on to establish a discovery.
BY the extent of the vein was meant
its size and quality as disclosed.
That being done, the presumption
exists that the vein extends on its
strike throughout the whole length
of the claim as located,
The sole purpose of that part of
paragraph Al quoted was to enable
the land department to know, SO
far as applicant can reasonably
show, the definite facts upon which
the right to the patent is predicatcd
so as to determine whether a valu-
able mineral deposit exists in the
land claimed.

Brick Production in 1908, s1Os,O6s,2O7

With a decrease of sixteen per cent
under the production of 1907, the
United States in 1908 turned out $685.
062, ,207 worth of BRICK and the tile
manufactures. Every State and Ter
ritory in the Union contributed to the
totals, but Ohio led all others with
products valued at $15,915, ,703, for the
year.
Under this general classification by
the geological survey, virtually every
thing in clays except the district pot
teries are included-common brick.
verified brick, sewer pipe, architect
ural terra Gotta, fireprooing, hollow
building tile, stove Innings and all
classes of drainage tile.
Of all these manufactures of the
year the common brick leads in total
value, estimated at $44,765,614, or
Abb per cent of the total production.
But it required 1911, 1,046,000 of these
common brick to foot the total. For
these brick, too, the price at the kiln
slumped from Sc a thousand in 1907
to $5.73 in 1908. Of these common
brick Illinois produced the largest
number, shown to be LIS, 900, at
$4.32 a thousand at the kilns.
Those two varieties of clay products
which showed increases in 1908 were
vitrified brick for paving and the COM
mon drain tile of the country. The
verified paving brick produced showed
an increase of 101, 1877 900, with a de-
crease in value from $11.02 to $1,000
a thousand At 1886 a thousand
Ohio led in this production, with a
value of $3,232, ,335-one-third of the
product of the whole country. Drain
tile increased in production almost
thirty per cent. value at $S,661 ,476 for
the year.

Option Law Problem.

One of the problems created by the
county option law is where to keep
the immense quantities of liquor con-
fiscated by officials In dry territory
from blind pigs 'speakeasies,' alleged
soft drink emporiums, &C., which are
doing land Office business these days.
In some Of the dry communities they
do not know where to put this stuff.
The jails are hardly large enough to
hold it at times, and to meet the situ-
alton it has been suggested that they
either be enlarged or that new jails
with more ample accommodations be
erected. Doubtless in the construction
Of these penal institutions hereafter
provision will be mace for storage de-
partments, wine cellars, and the like,
so that all captured booze can be taken
care of until the time comes to dis
pose of it. 1t cannot be destroyed
right off, because it is used as evil
dence against the violator. Over at
New Concord several days ago the Wig
liant officers captured enough liquor
to sink ship. The local bastile was
not big enough to hold the stuff, and
it was hauled over to the county
court house, at GAINESVILLE, where
strong men stand guard over it,

sSTEEPLE jack TELLS OF FIGHT
FOR LIFE.
Relates Incidents of Struggle with
Madman Two Hundred Feet in the
Air.

Steeple jacks often find themselves
in tight places while exercising their
perilous profession, Joseph Smith,
famous throughout England as the
Lancashire Steeple Jack" and whose
business is SO prosperous that he
travels about in a private car, told the
writer the following exciting episode
in his career -
He and his mate were engaged at
the top of lofty factory chimney,
200 feet in height, when his mate sud
denly went raving mad and tried to
commit suicide by leaping over the
top. AS the madman went over
Smith caught him by the ankle, and
notwithstanding the maniac's plung-
ing and kicking, Smith held bravely
on.
Leaning over the platform, he en-
deayored with his dlsengaged hand to
reach the belt which all steeple jacks
wear around the waist, but he could
not manage it. Presently the crowd
who had assembled saw. the struggling
body slowly, by sheer strength, raised
till the belt came within reach. The
madman, finding his efforts at self
destruction being thwarted, turned on
his preserver and bit his thumb to the
bone.
He was, however, despite his strug-
giles, drawn upon the platform, and
then began another terrible struggle.
Many were the conjectures among the
crowd as the meaning of the fearful
scene at the top of the chimney, one
individual, who "seed it aw," asesrta-
ing positively that they've been
wrestling and feighting, and Smith
threw t'other, who went DER tn edge
o. t. stage"
Suddenly Smith raises his hand and
delivers a blow with the hammer on
the head of the man he has just lifted
out of the reach of death ! There is
no more struggling. The man is quiet
enough now
The crowd looked at one another n
amazement, wondering what 1t all
meant. "Mit as we'll ave droppt m
to t. foot of t. chimney as knock is
brains out wi 'ommer," says one
man, grimly. Smith is standing up
working at his ropes. He kneels down,
and in a few minutes the head and
shoulders of his companion are hang
ing over the edge of the stage, Smith
having attached rope to him. The
next moment he pushes him off and
slowly lowers him to the ground.
There is rush to the foot of the
chimney, Hes dead! passes through
the crowd A doctor is soon in at
tendance. Smith descends rapidly to
the ground with smile on his face,
actually laughing. How is he, doc
tor ?" he asks Hes very bad," is
the reply. "I don't think, however,
the blow has done more than stop his
struggles He's still in the fit"

Newspaper English.

There were two principal faults
of newspaper English. First, incor-
rectness, which might be due to haste
or ignorance, and, secondly, bad taste,
which showed itself in striving
smartness, desire to write in what
thesewriters themselves called "crisp
stlye." The latter fault was the worse
OF the two, though he had no desire
to excuse incorrectness. Bad taste
was not only seen in the abuse of
language; it was shown also in the
protrusion of the writer's personality.
1t might be said he was an unduly
severe critic of the halfpenny papers.
But he thought he was justified in his
criticism. These papers were often
enormously wealthy, and could well
afford to employ better writer's or to
encourage higher standard of writ
ing in their columns. Moreover, from
their great circulation they could in
fuence a far larger section OF the pub
lie than could any other form of lit
erature.-Sir Robertson Nicoll in
