A PAPER HOUsE.-There Is now IN
progress of erection on Herr street, near
Seventeenth. a paper dwelling house of
which the entire covering is paper, manu-
factured by process invented several
years ago by a gentleman of one of the
Eastern States. 1t lis claimed that houses
built of this material are not only as du.
rable, but warmer in winter and cooler
in summer than those built of brick or
wood, and what is most important to the
NAN of moderate means can be bailt for
about half the price Of either. The
house ia Seventeenth street. when com
pleted. will make very handsome ap-
pearance and very comfortable domi-
cile. 1t is owned by Mr.. D. G. Martin,

The SCHOOL Book LAw.-The bill
to prevent frequent changes in school
books introduced in the Senate by SEN
ator Petriken, passed both houses. The
purpose of this law is certainly good
one. 1t is estimated that during the last
decade the people of the State have been
taxed at the rate of two millions and a
halt of dollars per annum in he pur-
chase of school books. This immense
burden was put upon them through the
venality or weakness of directors and
county superintendents, who ordered
changes in books from year to year
This bill will relieve the people from an
expense that is at the same time onerous
and useless. It provides as follows:
SECTION /. That hereafter the Board
of Directors of any district. the Contro-
lers in cities and boroughs or any School
Superintendent. shall not order or direct
or make any change in the school books
or series of tex books used in any school
under his or their superintendence, direc-
ton or control mOve than once in every
period of three years. and any laws or
parts of laws inconsistent herewith be
and the same are hereby repealed.
SEC. 2 ANY school director. control
Ter or superintendent who shall violate
the provisions of this act shall be deem
ed guilty of misdeneanor, and upon
conviction thereof shall be sentenced by
the court to pay fine not exceeding
two hundr, d dollars and be deprived of
