About a Rogue Plant

plant that lies in wait like a highway
robber for unwary fies and other in
sects and when they appear it swallows
them up and their friends never hear OF
them again. 1t has been given the
botanical name of sarracenia, but 1t Is
commonly called the pitcher plant, from
the fact that it's leaves are rolled into
the form Of pitchers, in which many a
poor fly Is caught. The flies are attract
ed to the plant by a sweet liquid which
it gives of, and in their greediness they
go little too far and are killed Bot
anists do not know exactly why the
plant should wish a dinner of flies, but
there must be some good reason for It,

Russian schoolboy Gardeners.


Over In Russia many Of the schools
have connected with them small gar
dens. orchards or grape arbors, in
which the boys and girls are taught to
work. Each day the schoolmaster. who
has charge of the garden. takes his pu-
pills out and teaches them how to plant,
hoe. rake and reap. In the south Of
Russia, where the country Is almost
treeless, the children learn how to set
out trees and what the best kinds are,
and in some provinces there is COM
plete silkworm colony in each school,
and the pupils watch the wonderful
little silkmakers eat mulberry leaves
and spin their cocoons, and help all
they can In the work Of caring for the
colony. At other schools bees are kept
and the boys and girls learn to handle
them and guard them while they are
honeymaking
In this way the boys and girls of Rus
sia, by the time they have finished their
school work, know good deal about
some pursuits which will help them to
make living
How would you enjoy some Of these
things in connection with your school?

10 the Editor Of the Register.
Sir notice that Mr.. Garyin. Of
this city. introduced a bill in the
House authorizing Wheeling to appro-
pirate 1920 for the purchase OF gun
beat presents.
What right has the legislature or any
member Of it. TO offer a bill Of that
kind? That is 4 matter that should
have been submitted to the voters OF
the city for their acceptance or rejec-
ton. before Council took any action.
Should the legislature pass the bill. 1t
could not become Il law until submitted
to the voters of Wheeling. | think
that if We could have more legislation
on laws that would benefit all the peo-
Die on West Virginia and not few 1t
would be better. Some members have
made themselves very conspicuous IN
their own estimation by offering some
very ridiculous bills. For instance, the
one 10 bar physicians from practicing

think if the members should do
what they promised the people before
their election. to legislate against eX-
cessive fees. It would show that they
wanted to do something to please and
nrotect the taxpayers Of the State.
Should The legislature pass the bill,
Injunction proceedings would be COM
merced Immediately to stop the pay
