Trenton, Feb. 1.-THE usual Mon
day night program of very little bust
ness outside of the introduction, of
bills characterized the opening of the
sixth week of the present legislative
session. In the house Speaker Mac
pherson introduced a railroad tax
alton bill, which provides that the en-
tire tax now paid on second class
property by railroads shall go to the
municipality in which the property is
located. This means the giving up by
the state of $205,CJ0 year. Other bills
introduced in the mouse were: Pro-
vlding for dollar gas in first class
cities: for the pensloning of police
men who have served 20 years; for an
alderman at-large in Burlington. A
bill providing for an Italian Interpreter
in Hudson county was defeated. In
the senate Mr.. DAILY introduced a bill
providing that after July all public
works and improvements shall be done
by the day, and that eight hours shall
constitute days work.

Feb. II, 1895, aged Is years, month, and
20 days.
How sadly comes the first anniversary
In the quiet home, where the death angel
entered and claimed the first link In our
family circle. Parents weep for the child
whose voice and step were music to them.
Brothers miss the sunny face and kindly
ministry. Sister signs for the genial
companionship. What q flood. tide Of
hullowed memories sweep over each ach.
Ing heurt time may mitigate our sorrow,
but never remove 1t, Our Father com.
forts US with the blessed assurance that
we shall meet again in the enjoyment OF
soul thrilling communion beyond the
possibility Of change or blight and that we
shall know even as also we arc known.

One year mid tho light of Interchangeable

One year on !ho gem skirted shore of the

Whose crystalline current shall glide On
forever. Mothers Tribute.

Present Taste In Painted China.

The taste Of American china painters
is beginning to incline toward conven-
tional decoration, always satisfying and
suitable to all occasions says Art Anna
tcur. One of the best decorators of Table
service in New York reports all of her
largest orders as coming in this direo~
tion. They are executed in the highly
glazed tints applied by "dusting' tho
powder colors upon the surface of the
ware, tho tint forming colored band
of graceful, irregular design on each
dish Elaborate scrolls Of raised gold or
white enamel or both furnish the orna-
mentation and sometimes bands or ir-
regular spaces filled entirely with dots
of paste and then covered solidly with
gold arc added with excellent effect.
For example, on a pretty, quaint
sugar bowl and dreamer the band at tho
top of the bowl may be covered with
these tiny dots, giving, when finished,
a gold band of very rich appearance,
while the curving lower part of the
bowl is tinted in plain color.
