IDAHO ELECTION law.
Changes Made Since Two Years
Ago.
DUTIES OF REGISTRAR.
Registration Books Open In
September.

lhe last legislature made a num-
Der Of changes in the election law,
one of which requires the registra-
ton books to be open "during
every Saturday from the first day
of September to and including the
last Saturday next preceding the
election" Heretofore the regis
tration books were open on the
first Saturday in August.
Under the law now person
who registered at the preceding
election and is still voter in the
same precinct is not required to
register again, the registrar being
required to transfer all such names
to the new election register. Here
is the law on that subject:
"The board must also furnish
the election register OF the qualifi.
ed electors of the precinct made
at the last general election, or
when from any cause the register
cannot be sent, a certified copy
thereof. The registra must immcd
lately upon receipt of such election
register or copy thereof, revise the
same by striking therefrom the
names Of all persons, who by death
removal, from change in the boun-
daries of the precinct. or from
other cause, have ceased to be
qualified voters in such precinct,
who may have been, from any
cause, wrongfully registered; and
upon SO striking out the name Of
any voter who is still residing
within the precinct, or within the
limits of the precinct as it existed
at the last general election, he
must Immediately give him writ
ten notice that his name has been
SO stricken from the register, and
any person whose name has been
SO stricken out may again apply,
in the precinct where he resides,
for registration, bur no elector who
has been duly registercdand whose
name has not been so stricken out,
shall continue qualified voter in
the precinct where registered un-
til otherwise notified, and this pro.
vision applies to all electors regis
tered at and for the last general
! election"
The compensation of registrars
is also changed to conform to the
above provision, as shown by the
following:
"The several registrars shall re-
ceive such compensation as shall
be allowed by the board of county
commissioners, which in no case
shall exceed twenty-five (2s) cents
for each name newly registered
and ten (Io) cents for each name
appearing on the last election reg
lister which is carried to the new
election register, and the compen-
sation herein provided for shall be
paid out of the current expense
fund"

Recently the British warship Spar
row visited the native kingdom OF
Tonga. in the south Pacific. over which
the British government exercises a
protectorate. Its ruler is a dusky and
spirited young man who calls himself
King George IL. When the Sparrow
was in the harbor of the Tongan cap
ital a ball was to have been given on
board. But the electric light failed
and all sorts Of expedients were re-
sorted to for the purposes of illumina-
ton. An obliging customs official of
high standing removed the light from
one of the lighthouses in the harbor
and took 1t aboard the Sparrow. For
this risky piece of politeness he was
dismissed by the Tongan government,
The captain of the Sparrow interceded
with King George on his behalf, but
his majesty was inexorable, which in.
dicates that he knows his business.

Keuka Lake is one of the most at

in the interior of New York state.
Bluff Point at its head is bold
promontory. which rises grandly and
impressively. 1t was upon the banks
of this lake that the famous "Jemima
Wilkinson" founded colony nearly
three generations ago and announced
that she could walk upon the water
OF the lake. A large crowd gathered
to see her undertake the experiment.
Turning to her followers she asked:
Have you all faith that can walk

do So" she replied. IF ye have faith

Designed Many Useful Articles, but
Never Profited by Them.
Not many people know that Thomas
Jefferson was great inventor. His
inventions were all OF articles OF
everyday use. He devised a three.
legged folding camp stool that is the
basis of all camp stools of that kind
to-day. The stool he had made for
his own use was his constant compan.
ion on occasions of outings. The re-
volving chair was his invention. He
designed a light wagon. A copying
press was devised by him and came
into general use. He also invented
an instrument for measuring the dis.
lance he walked. A pillow and a hemr
cultivator showed that his thoughts
were often on agricultural matters
His plow received a gold medal in
France in 1890. Jefferson never bene
flied financially by his inventions, but
believed they should be for the use
of every one without cost.

FUTURE USES OF OLD AoF.
When Elderly People VIII Do Most

Our old men are going to be our

US that, in the case OF some of the
most industrious of the lower crea.
lures, such as ants and bees, the
workers are distinct from the breed
ers, third or neutral sex having been
evolved by modification of one or
both of the others. With man, no
neutral sex has appeared. but both
sexes cease the worl, of reproduction
at fixed period Of life. This, then,
is the most favorable period for work.
and, when science has eliminated the
inirmities of age, as Prof Meichni-
koff believes it is now able, or soon
will be able, to do. the aged will be

WHY THE PoRTERHousE sTEAk1

Accident.

In the old coaching days there was
tavern in New York, kept by a man

to which house one Saturday night
there arrived a traveller who called for
a steak Not one was left, but the
hungry traveller called and called
again for a steak. Finally the inn.
keeper in his distress took from his
larder a large piece of sirloin, put
there for roasting, and cut from it a
piece to broil. 1t was found so de-
licious that the same piece was often
called for after that and was chris
tened after the house and its proprie-
tor, Porter House Steak" Up to this
time this piece of meat had been
used for roasting only and the dis
covery of its virtues for broiling may
be said to have been quite accidental
