GOVERNOR FLOWER of New York has signed a bill which enables the board of education of the city of New York to re- tire on half pay. male and female teachers in the public schools of that city who have completed. respectively thirty-five and thirty years of service as teachers. The bill provides three possible sources of revenue for this retirement fund. the pr cipal one being all moneys withheld from teachers on account of absence from duty for any cause. Last year S45. 5.00O was reolized from this source alone.

Compelled.

The gaunt young man with freckles on either side of his nose was not satisfied with the declaration of the girl in soft, clinging stuff that she would be his wife.
 "Darling'-
 He was impetuously insistent.
 -"why did you say yes"
 It was thus he sought to know the mo- tives of her heart. confident of the confes- sion, ere yet he had heard it.
 Because, Odoacer"-
 She spoke with the charming frankness of a shy maiden brought to bay.
 VI have known this was coming for seven years, and could not consistently say it was so sudden
 Her sincerity was impressive.-Detroit Tribuna.

A Warning.

Have you been reading the serial, The Scout of the Sierras, that is running in my paper?"
 "Yes, am very much interested in it. Who is the author?'
 "I am the author"
 "You are, eh? Well, I want to tell you right now that unless the hard hearted adventures comes to grief and the brave scout rescues and marries the captive maiden pretty soon I'll stop my paper" Texas Siftings

THE proposition to make twenty per cent reduction in the salaries of congress men. while We have no hope that it will receive favorable confederation, would be a timely recognition of the fattened condi- ticn of the pockets of taxpayers. Salaries that were put up when the government paid its debts in depreciated paper ought to have been scaled down with the return to gold payments. But it would be quite as feasible to coax an alligator to climb a tree as to induce the ordinary legislator to cut down his own salary. Mir Holman of Indiana, and Mr George of Mississippi, profess to be willing to vote for reduction; but they both know that the reduction will not carry, and they will both draw their full salary every Psy day.

Hints on Baking Pies.

In baking all pies where the contents are apt to soak into the undercrust, like a lemon, cnstard or pumpkin pie, it is better to put on the lower crust first and bake it half done and then add the cus- tard or other soft filling. But that the pie crust will raise in great waves and leave no shell is an objection offered to this plan. That is true if the pastry is put on as it usually is. The pie plate, which should be tin one, is first lined with the pie crust, and the crust is re- peatedly pricked to prevent its pufing. Then it is brushed over with the white of an egg

THE JEWEL cASkET.

No ornament yet gives so much for the money as the turquoise. Hence it holds ite own.
 Belt buckles in silver gilt and enriched with enamel are new. They make a nics addition to the toilet.
 A curious ornament seen was a sword hilt only. It was almost as large as the palm of the hand and of solid diamonds.
 A most beautiful brooch seen was of diff ferent tinted opals cut in geometFical forms gre connected with gold and small jewels. Round sleeve buttons, with turbine wheel designs in platinum, overlaid on gold and a jeweled center, are the best things seen of their kind.
 Rows of small pearls closely set and con- nected in segments by rectangular corners of semiprecious stones or carving are among the new things.
 The jewellers are having an admirable op- portunity in the long, oblong and curving buckles that are now used in millinery and for the throat and belt.
 A beautiful ornament was a flower spray of diamonds tied by bowknot. The two ends were caught in 8 loop few inches dis tant by a jeweled pin, from which 10 pearl tipped ends depended. Circular Ofdee of J. F. GRKzB, County Judge.

The Origin Of Sacrifice.

In primitive times the evil seemed
more abundant than the good. The
earth gave but sparsely its good. while
the weeds and the thorns sprang up ev-
erywherc The evil powers seemed TO be
the strongest. The sun, however bene-
fetal. bears the sunstroke that blights,
together with the sunbeam that fructi-
fies. Every deity had therefore touch
of the demon i'll him, and religion in
its first stage began rather with the
propitiation Of demons than with the
worship of u good god or gods.
1t was only at u much later stage in
mans development that the blessings
became more pronounced than the
curses; that the good god was separated
fromthe evil. An Ahriman existed in the
primitive mind before an Ormuzd. 1t
may be affirmed that if early mar had
esteemed the powers as purely benevo-
lent beings he would not originally
have brought sacrifice IL was only be-
cause he recognized the malevolence in
the powers that dread impelled him to
present them propitiatory gift. The
Latin poet might therefore well say that
fear was the first creator Of the gods"
