The Democratic Board Of Freeholders

The Democratic Board OF Freeholders
With all the abuse that. reform"
legislators, greedy for the places, have
bestowed upon the Freeholders of
this county, the practical record OF
the Board is far from bad. Today
the county pays off absolutely $780,
600 of seven per cent. bonds issued in
1874. This means q reduction OF
ST, 500 in interest charges and a cor
responding relief in the burden on
the taxpayers.
Through judicious sinking fund
management this amount is being
paid absolutely. No refunding opera
ton is to be resorted to. 1t is a clear
net gain.
This Is not the only matter to the
credit of the present and recent
boards. A large floating debt has
been cleared off in the last five years,
and all the money recently raised has
been wisely and economically ex-
pended. 'asc7@

To Close the Jaws,

"Watch the way your children shut
their teeth" says dentist. "The
lower jaw should close inside or at
least even with the upper, Many do
this naturally, many more must be
taught, and the sooner the easier.
There is no fact in artistic dentistry
more important than this. To retain
the true facial lines is one of the chief
efforts of the profession in its present
advancement, and this shutting under
is great art preservative. A forerun-
ner of advancing age is the heavy low
er jaw, which settles more and more as
the muscles of the face weaken and re-
lax with years-a tendency which is
long deferred if the jaw is trained to
be held back beneath the upper. Such
will be the case if the teeth close to-
gether properly. Watch your children
and yourselves, and if you have been
shutting your teeth the wrong way for
40 years begin to-day to reform.

Buttons on Military Uniforms.

The inter-relation of the buttons on
a uniform is just as much matter of
regulation as the cut of coat. The
general wears two rows of buttons on
the breast of his frock coat, twelve in
each row, placed by fours. The dis
tance between the rows is 81 inches
at the top and 81 inches at the bottom.
The lieutenant general is entitled to
only ten buttous in each row, arrang-
en- in upper and lower groups of three
and a middle group of four. The ma
jor general has nine buttons in each
row, placed by threes. The brigadier
general eight in groups of twos.
The colonel, lieutenant colonel and
major have nine buttons in each row
arranged at equal distances; the cap
tain and lieutenants seven buttons in
each row at equal distances.
There are different designs, OF
course, not only for the buttons of
the army, the navy and the marine
corps, but for the different branches
of the service. There are the infan-
try, artillery and cavalry buttons, the
engineers button, the ordnance corps
button, the button of the marine
corps and the navy button. The navy
button, by the way, is made in Eng
land, because no American manufac-
turer has been able to make bronze
which the sea air will not tarnish. All
of these buttons the army and navy
tailor must keep on hand and sew on
according to regulation.
1t is not often that an officer is
transferred from one branch of the
service to another, so he does not
often change his buttons, but passing
from one grade to another he frequent
ly has to have their arrangement alter
ed. This is one of the smaller expen-
ses incidental to change in rank. In
the navy every change in rank means
new shoulder strap, which costs So.
Every additional stripe on coat
sleeve costs So, and as there are three
uniform coats in every outfit, the
stripes add SIS to the cost of being
promoted. A change in the bar on
an epaulette costs from So to 81. For
every two grades, a new full dress
belt must be bought at cost of SIS.
The gold lace on full dress suit will
not last more than five years and 1T Is
renewed at cost of $15.
The glory of gold lace and gilt but
tons is gratifying, but it is expensive.

Ancient Chinese Musical Instruments

The ancient Chinese believed that
music was of divine origin, and that it
was gift from the gods to man. They
called it the twin sister OF poetry, and
believed that it had miraculous power
over man and beast. An old Chinese
hymn tells the story of shepherd
who wandered into the camp of great
army and made the soldiers SO home
sick, by playing familiar melodies on
his flute, that they left the field on
the eve of battle: "The flute of
Chang -liang, in that little space, had
stolen the courage of eight thousand
men,"
Ancient Chinese instruments are of
very neat workmanship. There is q
small violin called ur-heen, which is
made of dark wood, the head covered
with snake-skin. 1t is not ornamented
with any carved or inlaid designs, but
it is beautifully made, and the wood is
polished very smooth. There are only
two silken strings, tuned in fifths, and
played on with a horsehair bow. A
three string banjo, also covered with
snake-skin, has long neck, the top of
which, where the strings are fastened,
is carved to represent bat. There is
also very ingenious mouth-organ
called ti-tzu. The body is made Of
wood, and in it are inserted seventeen
pipes. The notes are made by stop
ping the holes in the pipes with the
fingers.
The Chinese are very fond of drums,
which they call kou. The Oldest
drums were of baked clay with skin
head fastened on with nails instead of
braced cords, which made it impossi-
BILE to tune them as modern drums are
tuned. The variations of tone were
regulated only by the force of the
blow.
The notes of Chinese music read,
like the written characters, from
right to left, and the intervals of the
scale are different from those of the
scale adopted by the nations of the
west. The music is not very harmon
ious, and sounds meaningless and
jangling to western ears, but it has a
pretty, musical cadence that makes it
attractive and interesting in spite of
its frequent discords. -[St. Nicholas.

The singers long have sung the praise
OF sweet Queen Rose;
What glory fills her summer days
The whole world knows.
Then sing today with praises free
Her royal cousin Apple-tree,
A king well worth the name is he,
The whole world knows.
When first the grass grows green and fsis
On fields long brown,
'Tis then King Apple-tree will wear
His springtime crown.
We watch the pinky buds unclose,
Each tiny flower perfect rose.
What blooms that shining summer shows
Can match this crown?
He holds his court In royal state
The long year through;
And he is brave and strong and great,
A good friend, too.
In summers heat and winters cold
He brings us blessings manifold;
He fills our hands with fragrant gold
The long year through.

A NEIGHBOR.

"This is such pretty fat!' said
Mrs. Bryant, enthusiastically, as she
went up and down the five little rooms
which were to be the first home of her
married life.
81 like top fiat, she continued;
lit is SO much lighter, and the air
seems better up here.
"You will miss the elm-shaded
street before your old home in Green
wich," said her husband.

piled. "Our parlor windows here
look out on great many treetops,
and l can place my rocking chair SO
ss not to see the house roofs, but only
the trees above them.'
"How about the back windows?" he
asked, with a doubtful smile, as he
glanced down upon the small, barren
inclosure called yard, and then
across at the rear windows of other
fats which fronted on the next street.
ooh! l see children at some win
dows, and birds in others, and there
is dear old lady just opposite. Those
are our neighbors. But, Fred, look
here! Here is little balcony reach
ing from our side dining window
across the narrow space to the window
ofthe next building. Why is that ?"
"That is fire escape, so that in case
Of fire we can make dash for lib
erty over through the other peoples
window, or so that they can flee over
to u.s."
"Then we are set here to help each
other. We ought to be friends" she
said, looking wistfully at the opposite
window whose curtain was closely
drawn.
"Not much friendship between
Hats" commented her husband.
City folks distrust chance acquaint-
ance, and we must be careful our
selves. There might be a forger living
below us, and gambler across from

THE CITIZENS LATEST WHINE.

The resolution authorizing the gov
ernor to pay a reward of $4,000 for the
capture of the parties who made the at
tack upon Hon. J. A. Ancheta, was not,
as the Albuquerque Citizen asserts, re-
pealed by the last legislature. The gov
ernor had full power under law to offer
the rewards noted in his recent proclama-
ton, and the Citizen is guilty of the
grossest misstatement of facts when it
makes assertions to the contrary. AS to
the reward for other criminal cases while
it Is fact that the Legislative appropria-
tion is but $1,000 year, yet the law
distinctly authorizes the executive to
spend more, if necessary to the bringing
of criminals to justice, and very wisely
places the limit of such rewards at $500
for each criminal.
These are the facts in the case which
the Citizen SO pitifuly whines about.

For TOLEDO OR DETROIT?
Because it is the shortest line; avoids
transfer across the city in case you are
going further east, and makes close con-
nections with all trunk lines.
For NEW YORK or BOSTON?
Because it has solid through service
from both Chicago and st. Louis, via
