The following IL an abstract ofthe laws passed
at the late session Of the LegislAture, ia which
the readers of the Statesman will be interested.
THE RKvExUr Law
FixeS the rate Of taxation at three and 4 half
mills for Territorial purposes. The couity tax
ID to be levied BY the Commissioners as usual,
but shall not exceed eight mills for county pur-
poses, three mills for school purposes, nor four
mills for road purposes. The poll tar is two
dollars, to be paid as other taxes, instead Of 70
the County Assessor as heretofore Ths law
empowers the County Commissioners TO make =
special appropriation sufficient to pay the curS
rent expenses Of the county, which appropriation
shall have preference in order Of payment from
the proceeds raised by the provisions Of the act,
but the smouDt so set apart cannot exceed one.
half the current expenses of the eounty. Coun.
ty orders may be received in payment Of rAxes
to an amount not exceeding the tar. The As.
SCISSOR is required to make his assessment be,
tween the FIRST Mouday Of February and The first
Monday of May.
In the matter Of licenses, there Is a proYiso
which requires persons applying for license to
sell -hnunrs 20 ars, i,-Assaf IN the County Com.
missiouers petition signed by majoriss =, III
the adult white inhabitants in the election pre-
ciuct in which the liquor is to be sold. This
requirement will be an inconvenienee to the
parties applying for the license but it will work
As a protection to those who are permanently
engaged iu the business, BY preventing the ope-
ming OF small temporary Embellishments. The
license is 6xed at three hundred dollars per year;
but section twelve of the law provides that the
Commissioners may grant licenses to drinking
saloons or houses iu the county where there is
but little business, for less than three hundred,
but not less than fifty dollars per aunum. Lii
censes cannot be granted for less term than
six months.

THE ELECTION LAW

Is amended by the AboIishment Of the registry
system and the confinement Of voters to their
own precincts, except, of course, in voting for
precinct officers. The system requiring the pay.
ment Of poll taxes before voting, or at the polls.
is also abolished by the proviso 10 the revenue
law, which provides that the poll tax shall be
collected as other taxes. 10 this regard the law
now stands just as it did before the adoption Of
these systems, leaving the voter free TO vote for
county or Territorial officers at any precinct 10
his county, and without having his right to vote
questioned on account Of his name not being on
the Assessors registry list"
The law is made to conform with the amend
ment to the organic act of the Territory, prOvi-
ding for biennial sessions of the Legislature,
and all officers entitled by law to be elected
ale to be chosen at the general election on the
6rst Monday in June next, and biennally there
after, excepting members of the Territorial
Council, who are to be elected for four years.
Representatives and all county and precinct Off
GERS are to be elected for two years.
The law is further amended by comforting upon
County Commissioners the power to fiji vacau>
i- --~-,--;--- ;,,-sArptIr- aHsres: also, iaerea,
sing the pay of judges aud clerks Of election to
four dollars per day.

EDUcArIos OF ORPHAN CHILDREN.

The act requires that all persons having charge
Of any white orphan children ia the Territory
between the ages ofeight and eighteen years, shall
send them to ehOOi at least three months IN each
year, provided a school is taught that length Of
time in their district, within two miles Of their
residence and in case such person is unable to
edneate such children they must be educated
at public expense. The penalty for failure to
comply with this act, without good reason being
shown, is a 6ne OF one hundred dollars, to be
paid into the school fund. The County Commisr
when in their opinion justice demands q remis-

PESITENTIARY.

The Peniteutiary is relocated at Steilacoom,
and joint resolution was passed asking the
proper department to return the money to the
Territory that was appropriated several years
ago for the building of the Peniteutiary, so that
it may be applied to the purpose for which it
was appropriated. An act also passed empower
ing the peniten tiary commissioners, at any time
they may deem it to the interest Of the Terrific
rial convicts, wherever they may be confined,
and employ them in the Improvement Of the
peaiteRtiary grounds or 10 the construction Of
the peniteutiary buildings.

Commissioners aud defining their duties, was
passed. 1t is copy Of the old Law, with th.
exception that il Is made to conform to the arr
rangement Of biennial elections. The pay OF

Is very stringent one, aud though not partial
to such acts, it seems to us from close e1"mi-

PRESERVING FLOWERS. "A friend who
has had experience in preserving flowers
gives the following recipe: "Heat fine
quartz sand in an iron pot, and stir in some
stearic acid and spermaceti- in the proper
tion Of half an ounce Of each to every five
pounds Of sand. Taken from the fire,
the whole is well mixed and used as follows:
A small box, with drawer lid, with the
bottom knock d, out is invcre |, an la coar 9
piece of wire gauze placed inside, over the
lid, which now forms the bottom. This
seivc is then covered with a layer of the
prepared sand. The flowers, properly thin
ned, are then placed on this sand, and COM
pletely imbedded in more Of it, to keep
them in position. The box, covered with
paper, is then placed in room or oven, in
which temperature of 100 to ITO degrees
Fahrenheit, in which they will soon be dried.
Then the lid of the box is drawn, which
causes the sand to fall out, leaving the dried
flowers on the gauzc. Should the flowers
have faded, they are touched up with paint
afterwards"
