Bills of Local Interest Introduced Last
Week.
TO AMEND SCHOOL LAW.

NSeHs
TO AMEND SCHOOL LAW.
A bill has been offered in the
House of Representatives provid-
ing that where pupils in the dis
trict in which they reside have
by way of public roads, streets,
lanes alleys, or any other high
way, more than three-fourths of
a mile TO the nearest school IN
their district, such pupils shall
be permitted, without any action
on the part OF the directors of
either district 30 attend the school
IN an adjoining district, If more
convenient, provided, the school
has tn e proper seating capacity;
and that the district where suclI
pupils reside shall pay to the dis
trict where they attend school a
sum per month equal to what t
costs the district per pupil in
which said pupils attend school
for the same mum Der Of months
that the schools are kept open in
the district in which such pupils
reside. If the district IN which
they reside refuse to pay, it may
be sued and the amount due re-
covered the same as other debts
OF like amounts are collected.
This IS a proposed amendment
to the 23d section of the act of
May 8, 1854, which provides that
such arrangement shall be made
as may be agreed upon by the di-
rectors OF the adjoining districts,
but it has proven wholly uneffec-
tive. 1t is to remedy this defect
that the foregoing bill has been
offered, and ii would appear to be
Jfle proper lIlug.
TAX COLLECTOR WARRANTS.
The bill to extend for one year
the life OF tax collectors warrants
which was defeated on final pas
sage some time ago was, last week
reconsldered aud passed and
went to the Senate.
COUNTY LINES.
An act passed the house finally
to provide for the running, re-lo
eating, changing, fixing, and
marking of county lines. tpro-
vides for five surveyors--two ap-
pointed by each of the adjoining
counties concerned, and one. .by
the four so appointed. The pay
of the surveyors was, on motion

PENSION TEACHERS.
A proposition to pension pub
hc school teachers who have serv
ed in that capacity tor thirty
years or more, will be submitted
to the Pennsylvania Legislature
TINS week, as the outcome of a
conference held between Su-
perintendent of Public Schools,
j. L. Andrews, of Pittsburg, and
State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, Nathan @. Schaetfer
| Mr.. Andrews is backed by num-
Der of school teachers, and hopes
to have the bill introduced lndors-
ed by school teachers generally
throughout the state.
He wishes to have Incorporated
in the same bill or IN another bill,
if that shall be regarded as nec-
essary, provision that no per-
son shall be employed as teach

years of age. H. says that 1t is q

Suburban CO-OperatiOn.

In Kensington, Maryland, one of
Washington's suburbs, there is q
group of pretty little cot
tages inha bited mostly by gov
eminent office holders. There is no mu-
nicipal gaslighting or water supply sys-
tenn, and to Offset the benefit of the
health and pleasures derived from liv-
ing near to nature, there is some dis
comfort to those who are used to these
city luXuries. One householder, of an
inventive turn Of mind, however, has
seemed to solve tie problem for him.
self and neighbors. The party who
lived next door to him owned a gaso-
line engine, but he had no deep well
from which to obtain supply of pure
water-the government employe had.
A deal was fixed up between them by
which the inventive genius was TO set
up and install the engine and connect
it with his pump, SO by q system of
piping, water could be had by both
parties without the necessity Of hand
pumping or windmill.
This system Of water supply has
worked well-so well indeed that the
piping has been laid to couple Of
neighbors even more distant, aud the
well, being of ample capacity, now
supplies half q dozen families with
water. 1t is understood that plans are
now being perfected by which the
gasoline engine will be called to do
double duty. In the daytime it will fill
the water tanks, while at night it will
be connected to an electric genera
tor, and thus furnish current for light
ing the immediate neighborhood. The
example set by this resident of Ken
sington could be followed by co-opera-
ton between residents of many rural
settlements. Cooperative telephones
are now success and cooperative
sewer, water and electric systems
should prove equally valuable and
successful.

orange may be described by either OF
the words, hybridiza ton or pollena-

shrub, citrus trifoliata. 1t may be

grow in the grounds Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Each Of them
is about eighteen feet tall.
In the Spring when these trees are
in flower a botanist watches till the
gum exudes from the stigma. This
sign tells him that the ovary Of the
flower is ripening for the reception Of
the pollen and the conception of the
fruit. Straightway he clips the sta
mens-those delicate filaments, fine as
hairs, which extend themselves from
the heart Of the flower. He clips them
because at their end hang tiny pods
the anthers-in which the pollen, or
the germinal dust, is held. Going to

A HARDY ORANGE.
Crossing the Florida Variety on the
Sturdy Japanese Species.

Botanists in the employ of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture hope to bring into being an orange
tree which will be as sturdy as the APP
pie tree; an orange tree that will not
perish in the chill of northern winter,
which in December will bear its
wreaths of snow and in May it's gar
lands of bloom, and which when sum-
mer comes will yield fruit as good as
that sweetened and gilded in the south
sun. This may seem to be an I'M
natural proposition but it only seems.
No violence upon the laws of Nature
has been or will be attempted. 1t is
simply an effort to make the citrus
tree from which is obtained the sweet
table orange, as hardy and insensitive
to cold as the orange tree from which
is obtained the bitter unedible orange.
By crossing a citrus tree which grows
in the north and which bears an I'M
edible fruit with the citrus tree of the
south 1t Is sought to beget plant in
which will be combined the good traits
of each. - '--'sS..-i .ssx--s
Government botanists are confident
that the result of this citrus marriage
will be scion that will grow and
fruit at latitude midway between the
northern limits Of the sweet orange
and the northern limits Of the line of
growth Of the unediblle orange. If
this should be there might be orange
groves in central Virginia, middle Ken
lucky, southern Indiana, southern Illi-
nois, central Missouri and central
Kansas. Think of orange gardens

ACHING IN FRESH WATER AND FANCY CONDENSED

the other too light, and that no custo
mer could be found for either. The
matter was adjusted only through the
reshipment of the consignments to the
proper places.
Consumers. of course, are appealed
toin the selection of some foods
through the quantity of advertising
given to particular product. Instances
Of this are found among the enormous
sale of breakfast and health foods
that are so widely advertised in news
paper and magazine. Years ago oat
meal was sold only by druggists and
kept by them merely for the sick; in
deed there was long a prejudice In
England against oatmeal as food for
human beings, although in Scotland 1t
was the staple food. Even in our
bread the consumer usually insists up
on the pure snowwhite bread that is
robbed of the most nutritious element
constituting the wheat grain.
BIeached-Out Oysters.
Your elders now are complaining
that they cannot get oysters with the
same flavor as they used to years
ago. Instead they seem to get white
tasteless bivalve. 1t is only made pal
atable through a drenching with vine
gar, horSeradish or some other season
ing. The reason for this is that while
the oyster of to-day is the same as
that of years ago, the dealer, in order
to meet the consumers desire for a
pretty" oyster, has allowed the bi-
