Afraid Of His Employer.
From the New York Times

Jurors with excuses can now present
them" called Clerk George F. Lyons in
part III, supreme court circuit, the
other day.
A little, mild-mannered man stepped
up before Judge Ingraham: 'Y our
honor" he said, 81 can't leave my bus1-
ness. If do / will be discharged"
mo, you will not,' replied Judge
Ingraham. eff your employer threat
ems to discharge you just come and tell
me and / will have him brought here.
No man shall be discharged for doing
jury duty, with my knowledge"
The little man didn't seem satisfied.
Now, do as say" continued Judge
Ingraham. "Who is your employer,
anyway"
"My wife," sadly responded the
Juror.

VETOED BY GOV. BULKLEY.
Connecticut's "Secret-Ballot" Bill Re-
turned Unapproved.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, June 7.-Gov.
Buckley to-day vetoed the bill provid-
ing for a secret ballot. He holds
that the bill is too radical,
too expensive, opens the door to fraud,
and will result in the DISTINGUISHING of
votes. The House passed the bill over
the Governors veto by vote of 121 to 38.
This was done under the previous ques-
ton, with no opportunity for discussion.
After the vote was declared Mr.. Brande-
gee protested against the discourtesy to
the governor, and moved to reconsider.
The bill was reconsidered and tabled,
and the House adjourned until Tuesday.

It's Charter Was Revoked.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, June st has just
transpired that the charter of Di-
vision 327 of the Brotherhood of En-
gineers has been suspended by Chief
Engineer Arthur. This division is COM
posed chiefly Of engineers employed
by the Bridge and Tunnel Company
here, and the action of Chief Arthur has
created something of a commotion.
The cause of suspension is said to have
grown out of circumstances connected
with the strike here in 1886, and the
expulsion from the division of three oil
it's members who refused to abandon
their engines during the strike.

TALMAGE on CREEDs.
Rev. DIR. Talmage, although abroad, is
NOT unrepresented in the religious press at

have the following pregnant paragraph on
creeds and their critics.
"All intelligent people have creeds-that
r., fsyonte theories which they have adopt
cd. Political creeds-thatis, theories about
tariff, about finance. about civil service.
about government. Social creeds-that Is.
theories about manners and customs md

r., theories about tapestry, utbs1c-d-brdc,
about styles Of ornamentation. Religious
creeds-that is, theories about the Deity,
about the soul, about the great future.
The only being who has no creed about
anything Is the idiot. This scofing against

rance on the part Of the scofier, for he has

cAmcATURE AND MISREPRESENTATION.
In our time the beliefs of Fvsncelistic
churches are under a fusiilade OF caricature
and Misrepresentation. Men set up what
they call orthodox faith, aud they rake il
with the musketry OF their denunciation.
They falsiiy what the Christian Churches
believe. They take Evangelical doctrines
and set them in a harsh and repulsiye way
and put them out OF the association with
other truths. They are like a mad anato-
mist who. desiring 10 tell what q man is.

There is perhaps no matter OF hygienic
reform to which 80 little attention - pad
As the care of the teeth. If we could stand
alta dentists chair for single day and
witness the disease and decay which the
mouths OF his subjects present we might
form better estimate of the evil which
little care and trouble would greatly al
leviate if not prevent,
The preservation OF tho teeth is Of great
importance to health. The first process
i'm good digestion is 10 chew the food well.
This cannot be done il the teeth are lost
or badly decayed. Indigestion and u long
train of diseases often have their source IL
defective teeth.
While many causes contribute TO the de-
fectiye condition Of the molars Of the
present generation. not the least ls the re-
ienton OF small particles OF food In the
crevices of the teeth while eating. These
should be carefully removed after each
meal by toothpick Of soft wood, such as
are In common use.
The fact that women suffer more from
decay OF the teeth than men is 10 doubt
in some measure due TO the neglect of
this useful precaution.
Insignificant and trivial as these things
seem, let II be remembered that life, health,
beauty. and usefulness depend on their OBJ
seryance, and premature decay and death
