Changers Want New Tax Bill.
Modified Measure OF Reform 10 be Urged In
Next Legislature.

Although the Grangers Of Penn
sylvania have been regularly
downed the past ten years in their
efforts to have passed by the Legis-
lature measures alleged to be III the
interest of the equalization of tax
alton, their legislative committee,
at meeting held i'll Harrisburg
last Thursday, decided to continue
the fight, but in somewhat modi-
fed form. Many of the substantial
features of the old tax conference
bill will be retained in an act which
the session of 1901 will be called to
consider. With the view to the re-
moval Of some of the opposition
encountered a number of important
changes will be made.
AT the conference Representative
William L. Greasy, who will doubt.
less be reelected to the House of
Representatives, and Leonard
Rhone, former Worthy Master of
the State Grange, were selected to
collect data on which to base a new
tax bill. In framing it particular
reference will be had to the New
York measure so popular with the
Grangers.
A resolution was adopted in
opposition to any revenue bill look
ing to increase taxation of farms.
The resolution recites that "as pub.
lie roads are for the use of all
classes of people and for the bene-
tit of all property, we insist that all
corporate and personal property,
also salaries exceeding $500, be
taxed for road purposes.
Resolutions were also adopted
opposing the Loud postal bill so far
as it relates to the publication of
weekly agricultural, fraternal, relig-
ious and secular newspapers; in
dorses the Grout bill taxing oleo-
margarine ten cents pound, and
the Cullom Interstate commerce
bill aud opposing the ship subsidy
bill.
The road commission bill passed
at the session Of last year is said to
have been tampered with after its
passage by failure to recognize the
State Grange, and Messrs. Greasy
and Rhone were appointed a COM
lnittee to ascertain, if possible, who
was guilty of the mutilation of the
measure by emitting the part which
provided for the appointment OF a
member of that organization. - Phil

Items Of Interest For Busy Gardners
Beautiful Flowers For But Little Trouble

The busy gardner that is, the
gardner who is occupied during the
greater part of the day with business
or household duties-will find hardy
perennial plants more satisfactory, all
things considered, than any Others.
They require the least care. Once
established, they are good for years.
Some begin to bloom quite early in
the season. Others bloom in midsum-
mer, and some are in their prime when
frost comes. Nearly all of them are
profuse bloomers, and most of them
are extremely brilliant in color. For
early Towering l would advise the di-
centra, the peony, and the lily of the
valley. A little later the herbaceous
spireas will appear upon the scene,
followed by the larkspurs and the
earlier phloxes. Then comes The holly
hock-perhaps the most attractive of
all our hardy plants-and the new
rudbeckia, which is the most brilliant
of all plants when in the prime Of its
golden glory, and the late varieties OF
phlox will prolong the dazzling gage
ant of late autumn's splendor until the
withering touch OF the frost is laid
upon everything in the garden.-Eben

One Cent Revenue Required.

The authorities have just sent out
the edict that all mail carriers or hack
drivers who carry packages from one
town to another for pay, must see
that such packages have a one cent
revenue stamp attached to receipt
given for the package. In other
words all such carriers are viewed the
same as express companies in this re
gard. Of course where package is
lifted from an express Office, or taken
to such Office, the one stamp is all
that is necessary. A mail carrier,
however, who only occasionally car
ries packages as an accommodation,
and not for hire, would not be consid-
cred as common carrier within the
meaning of the law, and would not
be obliged to issue or stamp receipts
for such packages.

Bow the Wedding Invitation Reads.
etiquette's Decree Recognized by Fashion
able Stationers.

When a bride has lost her parents,
and the invitations are issued by her
married sister and brother-in law, the
BRIDE should be styled therin "Miss
Agnes Blank" otherwise the words
"their sister" might imply that she was
sister of her brother-in-law, and if
"Agnes Blank" only was printed, the
name "Blank" might be considered as
a second name rather than surname.
and misunderstanding have been
known to arise on this account On
the other hand. when invitations are
issued by brides unmarried brother
and sister the word "Miss" need not
precede the brides Christian name.
In the case of bride being a step.
daughter, she is either styled in the
invitations "Mrs. AS daugh,e Muriel
Brown" or Mr. AS daughter Muriel,"
accordingly as to whose stepdaughter
she is, but supposing the stepdaughter
has grown up from infancy in the
home of her stepfather or stepmother,
it is very usual to refer to her as the
daughter of both, either stepmother
and father, or steptather and mother,
as may be, and sat the marriage of
their daughter" would then be the
words employed in the invitation.
When the bride is one of several
sisters living together, and the elder
ones are of an approximate age the
invitation could be issued in the joint
names of the sisters, thus, "The Misses
Blank request the pleasure" etc, but
If great difference Of age exists be-
tween the eldest sister and the others
and she is regarded as mistress of the
house, then her name only should
appear in the invitations; they should
then read, "Miss Blank requests the
pleasure" etc, sat the marriage G
her sister Mabel" etc. When the in
vitations are issued by the uncle anc
aunt CT bride. her parents being
dead, they should run thus, "at the
marriage of their neice, Miss Heste
Brown" whether she be the niece b,
birth of the uncle or of the aunt.

The Level-headed Never Lose Their Nerve.

Worry is the twin sister of nervour-
ness. Neither should ever enter into
the daily life of anyone. God, in His
all,wise providence, put the head of a
human being on top, that all beneath
it might be subservient to 1t. There
is something wrong above the eyes,
in the region of the will power, when
one becomes nervous in the sense of
excitability. "Know thyself is good;
control thyself is better. Worry and
excitement never aided anyone. Any
fool can get along when everything is
alright, but it takes wise mana level
headed man, to get along and not
worry nor become nervous when every.
thing is all wrong,-April Lqdies'

1t seems that the war spirit in London
has affected the London boy; he knows
there is scarcity of help in London
offices because so many clerks have vol
unteered for the war in South Africa.
Then he has more fun shouting in the
streets, watching tbs war bulletins and
parading every time the English arms

"There is a just prejudice" says a
well-known medical paper, against a
woman sitting to read, sew or hold a
baby with her legs crossed. For her
to do so is to invite serious physical
ailments" When a man crosses his
knees he places the ankle of one leg
across the knee of another; but a
woman, more restricted in her move
ments, rests the entire weight of one
limb on the upper part of the other,
and this pressure upon the sensitive
nerves and cords, when INDUCED in for
any length of time, will produce dis
ease. Sciatica, neuralgia and other
serious troubles frequently result from
this simple cause. The muscles and
nerves in the upper part of woman's
leg are extremely sensitive, and much
of her whole physical structure can be-
come deranged if they are overtaxed
in the manner described.--N. Y. Trib-
une
