The 1900 men f.om California to serve
on the Plains are rapidly organizing. Nine
companies of infantry have already reported
% Gen. Sumner, and the 500 Cavrlry are
nearly all accepted. These troois are eVi-
denlly being organized on much better
basis than many other volunteers recruited
for the war.
The entire force will be provided with the
vel made and substantial clothing that reg
ular troops are entitled to. There have been
large number Of rumOrs in reference to
the movements Of Gen. A. s. Johnston, late

DRINK PURE FRESH WATER.-Set a
pitcher Of water in a room, and in a
few hours it will have absorbed nearly
all the respired and perspirsd gases in
the room, the air 0t wlich will have
become purer, but the water utterly
filthy. The colder the water is the
greater its capacity to contain these
gases. At ordinary temperature a
pint of water will contain a pint Of
carbonic acid gas, and several pints oil
ammonia. The capacity IS nearly
double by reducing the temperature to
that of ice. Hence water, kept in the
room awhile, is always unfit for use.
For the same reason, the water in a
pump.s!ock should all be pun ped out
in the morning before any is used
Impure water is more injurious to the
health than impure air.
