Setting the River on Fira-

''Setting the Thames on fire" is an
oft heard saying but probably few peo-
pie know its origin, concerning which
the following explanation has been CIV
en-: In the time of our forefathers corn
was ground in a rough instrument call
ed ''temse. " This was merely stone
followed out to receive the corn, with
piece of wood passed through it, which,
being rapidly turned, ground the corn
to -four. If the wooden handle was
turned with sufficient force, the friction
of the wood against the stone Won d
cause the stick to catch fire, but as it
required considerable energy to pro-
duce this effect the person who could
accomplish it was thought smart, and
he who could set the tense on FREE
was pretty sure to be a good worker in
other ways. After a time the sstemse''
was superseded by better machinery.

Letter from Harrisburg.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Apr. 30, lS9

HARRISBURG, Pa, Apr. 80, 1895.
Editor Posr:
The legislature has now been in
session about 100 days and yet has
accomplished but little practically
speaking. This does not mean, how
ever, that both branches have not
worked faithfully and industriously
all this time. Up to date Governor
Hastings has signed twenty-eight
bills, vetoed six, and approved about
thirty Joint resolutions. He has dis
posed Of all the bills he has received.
The Compulsory School bill and
several Others will reach him during
the week. From this time until the
close OF the session it means hard
patient work. Many committees
are working almost day and night
to get rid of the bills not yet acted
upon so that they may give their
entire attention to the general cal
endar. The House General Judic-
iary Committee disposed of about
400 House and Senate Bills up to
date and there are still more to fol
low. This is the hardest worked
committee in either branch of the
Legislature. This is the committee
that knocked the log bill out for the
time being. Focht's log bills also
got it III the neck. The lumber ex-
change must be pretty well repre-
sented on this committee.
The Ways and Means Committee
is still wrestling with the proposition
to, tax brewers 81 cents n barrel for
all malt liquors brewed or sold in
the state. II the bill should become
law IT viii raise about ~, 200. 900
annually, and Treasurer jackson
thinks that it will cost 100000 TO
collect this tax. 1t wilt make room
for some out Of a job.
THE Ritter RcUoaue Bin Reported
The new revenue bill was reported
from the committee with the sec.
tions, taxing building and loan as
sOclations and certain manufacture
ing industries, eliminated.
Granger Rhone, j. d. Weeks and

working To secure its passage.
Tax revision comes slowly if il

i don't believe that the school direc-
tors of Pennsylvania desire to be
compelled to spend the peoples,
money for such an experiment. l
propose to oppose the further ad-
vance of the bill. 1t is very likely
that it will die in committee, fate
it richly deserves.
Compulsory BiH.
The Compulsory Bill passed the
Senate last week but slightly amend
ed. The Governor will no doubt
sign it. Some paper has called at
tention TO the fact that the law is
unconstitutional, basing the opinion
on the first section of. article 10 of
the Constitution which says that
the general assembly shall provide
for the maintenance and support Of
n thorough and efficient system of
public schools wherein all the chill
dren of this commonwealth, above
the age of six years may be educat-
ed, etc. This question deserves to
be considered since 1T appears that
under any compulsory law the chill
dren must be educated. etc.
JNc pNFO DtN.
This bill was reported from the
Senate committee with an aiiirml-
tive accommodation The second
section was amended so as to impose
the penalty on the school board in
stead of the teachers wearing the
religious garb. The bill will very
likely pass the Senate in its amend
ed shape.

Their schemes to consolidate n great
part of Allegheny county into one
great city passed the House with
substantial maiorities. If their
ideals will materialize Philadelphia
will have formidable rival in the
enlarged Pittsburg-the Empire of

of nine-tenths of the property own

a half dozen men wanted them.

the progress which conduces to the
interests of the few and to the dct-

to slavery. a new principle of gov.

Senator Osborne's bill, providing
for the introduction of panoramic
instruction into every school in the
Commonwealth, and which passed
the Senate, is still hanging in the
House Committee on Education.
The outfit which consists of $50 pic
lures is to cost not less than $40 nor
more than Sl5 and must be used in
leach and every school room and in
all of the schools" There are more
than %, 200 schools in the state and
Mt the price specified the cost would
be ut least S;3O0,000. This would be
fine job for some schemers. The
bill provides that if the law is not
complied with, the State Superin-
tendent can withhold the appropria-
tion from Il district These photo
graphic illustrations are to consist
of marvellous landscapes, views of
cities and noted places, triumphs of
engineering, painting, sculpture, etc.
