SCHOOL FUNDS THREATENED.
Decreased Valuation of Property
Causes Uneasiness.


The school budget for the season Of
1S96-1S97, which the school board for
warded to the mayor some two months
ago, has not yet been submitted to the
council by his honor. The budget asks
for about $4,000 for the year. It
would have been submitted to the
council before this, were it not that a
difficult problem has presented itself.
The charter limits the rate Of taxation
for school purposes to two and one
half mills, and the question has now
arisen whether the SUM needed to
operate the schools for another year
can be raised at the rate prescribed,
in view Of the material reduction in
the assessed valuation of all property
within the city. In consequence of
this, action on the budget will probably
be deferred, until it is known what the
state board Of equalization proposes to
do with the assessors valuation Of
property in this city A heavy pres
sure Is being brought to bear on the
board by the country districts to raise
the city valuation.

COMPTROLLER McARDY,s VIEW
Does Not Recognize the Board of
Public Works.

City Comptroller, McCardy seems to
take it for granted that the supreme
court will declare the law abolfshing
the board of public works, and sub
shutting a commissioner of public
works to be constitutional. At least
that Is the inference as the COMPTROLLER
has audited the pay roll Of the com
missioner and his clerks for the month
OF August. The pay roll made it's ap-
pearance at the meeting Of the as
sembly committee on ways and means
yesterday afternoon. Should the SUI
preme court decide that the law is
unconstitutional the city would then
be compelled to pay the four members
OF the board of public works their sal
aries for the month of August and all
succeeding months until their terms
expire.

THE WATCH ADJUSTER.

He Is Man Whose Delicate Work Re.
quIres Large Experience and Much Skill
Perhaps the most highly skilled and
best paid men in the matchmaking
business are the watch adjusters. One
adtuster in great factory used to re-
ceive $4,000 year. The adjuster's
work Is one of the important elements
of cost in the making Of fine watch,
and $4,000 adjuster should be com
petent to perfect any watch, whatever
its delicacy and cost. 1t Is the business
of the adjuster to take new watch and
carefully go over all its parts, fitting
them together so that the watch may
be regulated TO keep time accurately to
the fraction of a minute month. Reg
ulating is very different process from
adjusting and much simpler. A watch
that cannot be regulated so as to keep
accurate time may need the hand of the
adjuster, and If it Is valuable
the owner will be advised to
have 1t adjusted. There are
watch adjusters in New York working
on their own account and earning very
comfortable incomes. To the adjuster
every watch that comes under his
hands gets to have a character of its
own. He knows every wheel and screw
and spindle that help to constitute the
watch. He knows its constitution as
a physician knows that of an old pa
tient. He can say what the watch needs
after an accident, and can advise as to
whether it is worth adjusting. No new
watch can be depended upon until it
has passed through the hands OF the
adjuster, for however admirable the in
dividual parts of the works, their per-
feet balance is to be obtained only by
such study and experiment as it is the
business Of the adjuster to make. The
adjuster is highly-skilled mechanic,
with wide knowledge of his business.

LOUNGES FOR eEDcHAMBER.
Comfortable Couches May Be Cheapy
 Made Out of Discarded sofas.

Every bedroom should, if possible, contain couch, # it be only of wicker, and especially is one indispensable in the room of a guest, who frequently longs for short nap, but refrains from talk ing one in the fear of disturbing a beautifully made or decorated bed. Guest furnishings, by the way, should not be so fine as to be overpowering. If the room be small, and there is no other place for a couch, it could be set at the foot of the bed, where, if supplied with castors, it may easily be moved when necessary.
 One suitable for use in bedroom may be contrived with very little trouble, and it is astonishing what treasures the attic will afford.
 I have q sofa in mind which was so unsightly as to be absolutely useless. It was one of the old-fashioned sort, with a carved back; not by any means an antique of graceful shape and de- sign, but a thoroughly piebeian, un- comfortable piece of furniture. The back was unscrewed and taken off, the soiled cover removed, and at small cost new springs and fresh cover of white cotton made it ready for pretty spread and pillows. which transformed it completely. This spread of sateen in blue and white matched the hang ings of the room, and it was made by sewing q deep frill gathered on cord tO n niece of tho mntariaI of n cuito l1Ia size to cover the sofa. This particular frill. by the way, was composed of many small pieces pinned together, and as it was quite full the gathers con cealed the seams very effectively When finished, two large pillows covered with the same material as the spread were added. the result being luxurious rest ing place on which one might while the weary hours away.-Tondon Mail.

HUNTING WITH HAWKS.
The Persian sportsmRn's Equipment
 When He Goes for Game

When He Goes for Game.
 In the early spring hunting and hawk ing are the chief amusements of the Eu- ropean residents of Teheran, Persia. One of these sporting parties was in- vited to join during my sojourn. The pack and hawks were supplied by some of the higher native officials. We formed cavalcade consisting of ten or twelve Europeans, each accompanied by a couple of mounted servants. the huntsman and falconers. The best cov- CTS for hares and foxes were to the south of the town, on large tract of the cultivated plain, which is a good deal cut up by the open shafts of tine linanats, or subterranean water courses. The huntsmen, with their hawks on their wrists, or holding the pack in leash, rode little to the front of the line of sportsmen until a find was an- nounced, when either the one or tbe other was let loose in pursuit of the quarry. The hawk swooped down on its prey, and, if successful, alighted on its head and held it till the hunts1nen came up. The pack was composed of several couples of Persian greyhounds. which, by the way, have feathered ears and tails, and are much slower than the English and American ones.
 All Persians are justly proud of their riding. From childhood they are ac- customed to the saddle, and their be- lief III fatalism, no doubt, conduces to render them fearless in it. They are as bold and daring horsemen as I have ever seen, and delight in showing off their dexterity. One of their great amusements is shooting from horse back, and they show wonderful skill in thus bringing down ground game ot full gallop. This is more remarkable ns they have no idea of shooting at a bird on the wing-indeed, never st- tempt it.--Outing.
