Ex-Senator General E. B. Harden
bergh was on the Hill last night.
(Tuesday's Harrlsburg Telegraph.)
It was learned to-day that the
State Legislative Commission on
Codification of Election Laws would
be ready to report In a fortnight and
will recommend some radical chan
ges in the election laws of such Im
portance that the legislative program
cannot with any degree of certain
ty bo mapped out until the nature
of theso changes are made known.
One change can be said with assur
ance and that is the primary elec
tion will be changed from the spring
until tho fall. The intimations of
what the commission will recom
mend, which have come to the ears
of the commltteo, has caused it to
withhold any action on questions re
ferred to it. Already a bill Is in
course of preparation, providing for
tho fall primary, according to the
Harrlsburg Telegraph.
There has been some contention
among the members of the commis
sion and a desire to recommend
some changes which would revolu
tionize the election system In this
state. A compromise has been af
fected by the more conservative
members with the result that the
report will not be as drastic as at
first feared. The organization
leaders are well satisfied with what
they know of tho recommendations
and are preparing bills to meet the
recommendations so far as they are
known. All legislation affecting the
election laws will bo gone over by
the committee and be reported out
at the end of the two weeks' time.
This has been given as authentic by
a member of the House.

A bill considered of some Import
ance by lawyers and advocated by
several of the bar associations of the
State was one introduced by Senator
McNichols of Lackawanna. The bill
provides that nil mortgages and
deeds shall be In effect from tho
date of record and not from the date
of the Instrument. This bill tends
to discourage the custom in many
of the rural counties of not record
ing deeds and thereby preventing
tho preparation of complete briefs
of title. Many of the corporations
which have had occasion to purchase
large tracts of land have experienced
difficulty in making purchases and
Insuring titles on account of deeds
in the chain of title having been lost
or mislaid. The bill introduced will
compel land owners to record their
deeds or otherwise they will be of
no effect.

In the southeastern section of the
Stato where the deadly San Jose scale
has worked greater damage probably
than elsewhere within the boundaries
of this Commonwealth, destroying
entire orchards so that farms are
now without fruit trees of any kind,
tho owner of one of these treeless
homes in Bucks county has decided
to again plant an orchard, and
writes to Prof. H. A. Surface, state
zoologist, for a list of the best varie
ties to plant in that county. The
following reply was sent him:
"Replying to your letter making
inquiry as to the ten best varieties
of autumn and winter apples for
homo use in your region, I would
recommend tho following: Smoke
house, Grimes, Golden, Jonathan,
Rome Beauty, Bonum, Mother,
Lady's Sweeting, Pound, York Im
perial and Stayman's Wlnesap. The
last one is the very best in quality,
while the next to last is the poorest
In quality In this list, but is the best
keeper and one of the best bearers,
and Is one of our most profitable
commercial apples of Southern and
Southeastern Pennsylvania.
"In addition to this list of fall
and winter apples, it appears that
a person should plant the following
for summer use in the home or
chard. Among these should be:
Yellow Transparent, Early Ripe,
Red Astrachan, Sweet Bough,
Wealthy, Maiden Blush, Summer
Rambo and Duchess.
"To your tall list you could also
well add the Fall or Winter Rambo.
I should select those that ripen In
succession from the earliest ta lat
est, and plant about half as many
varieties as are here given. Of
course, If you have a fair local
market, where you can sell the sur
plus in retail quantity to good ad
vantage, It Is a good plan to plant
all these varieties. You have a
change for homo use, and some are
liable to bear when others do not. I
certainly do not recommend tho
planting of many trees of several
kinds; Just a few of each kind are
sufficient for home use. On the
other hand, if planting for commer
cial purposes, I strongly recom
mend the planting of many trees of
each of a very few kinds."

nrgument about Velasquez at a studio
tea," said an artist. "Mr. Whistler at
ono point In the argument praised him
self extravagantly. The Englishman
listening, sneered and said at the end
" 'It's a good thing we can't seo our

" 'Isn't It, though?' said Mr. Whistler,

Theology and the Thermometer.
A point of theology Is raised by Sit
Francis Younghusband In "India and

says, speaking of the religion of the

ants of frozen Tibet would all flock
there."

Philosophic Tea.
The famous Adam Smith had all the
proverbial absentmludeduess of the
philosopher. An amusing story of him
Is told in Mr. Fyvle's book, "Noble
Dnmes and Notable Men of the Geor
gian Era." "Mr. Daiucr. It appears,
;allcd one morning upon the Scottish
philosopher Just us he was preparing
his breakfast. As they talked the
learned man took a piece of bread and
butter In his baud and, after rolling
It round and round, popped It Into his
teapot and poured the boiling water
upon it. Hauler watched with quiet
amusement without drawing attention
to this peculiar proceeding, and pres
ently he had his reward, for when
Adam Smith poured himself out a cup
of this queer decoction and tasted It
he quite Innocently remarked to his
visitor that it was the worst tea he
had ever met with."
