in sleeping-rooms on that account. II Il
few plants in room could thus poison the
air. how deadly it would he at night in a
dense forest But no one ever experienced
any thing of the kind. The fact is. in the
sunlight, and more in the sunshine, plants
absorb by their leaves carbonic acid from
the air. use up the carbon in forming It's
sue, and give back the oxygen. At night
the plants rest-sleep, as il were-and
suspend work. That is all; they have
used the carbon and given back the oxy-
gen, and so the carbonic acid has been de-
composed.

T,,de T,ieI.s WIN cotton seed OIL.

Cotton seed oil went down fifteen cents
a gallon when the Chicago lard corner
broke. The inference is that good deal
OF cotton seed oil was cornerd under the
name Of prime lard. Some Of the newspa'
pers are jumping at the coincidence as
though they had for the first time stumbled
upon the intimate connection between lard
aud cotton seed oil.
II pure cotton seed oil were the only
alulterant employed in the manufacture
OF the "pure lard" Of commerce there
would be less reason to complain, for cot
ton seed oil in its pure state is a vegetable
product in no way prejudicial to health,
and there is nothing about 1t TO turn the
delicate stomach. These are obvious adj
yantages over the compound called prime
lard which is made Of grease otiall and
white clay, with very little thanks to the
hog. A good deal Of this doctored lard
must have gone down in the Chicago tum
BILE, for, just before the crash, it was openly
asserted by honest dealers in lard that the
trade had been demoralized almost to ruin
by the adulterated stuff.
Cotton seed oil is honest enough in itself,
but it becomes fraud when it is palmed
olras lard or olive oil. It is good sub
stitute for lard, so good that it can afford to
stand on It's own merits. It is better than
good deal OF the huikf olire exported to
this country, and those who have used it
knowing 1t to be cotton seed oil will bear
witness that it is an excellent salad dress
ing. The Italians were quick to recognize
its merits, importing the crude oil from
this country, refining 1t at home, and send
ing it back to us as olive oil. This clever
deception 80 interiered with the native olive
industry that the Italian Government
prohibited the importation Of cotton seed
oil, subsequently, however, removing the
prohibition. But now the refining is done
on large scale in this country, and people
who know good thing and are willing to
buy it at fair price, under its own name,
are brave enough; to ask for cotton seed oil
Still, there are persons who do not want
it, and 1t is the fraud Of palmingit off under
other names that is rightly objected 10 with
vehemence. 1t is interesting to note that
cotton seed, once wasted, is fast equalling
in market value the lint which once was
king; so that 1t will not be long before in
some sections Of the cotton region the seed
not the flower, will be the planters aim.

machine, wages are not reduced to the

and the men who make them are able to
care decently for their families.
