A Simple Purifier

The air OF a room may be purified
in two hours by setting inside Of it a
wide mouthed pitcher filled with pure
cold water. 70 three hours al most it

gases in the room, leaving the air
purer by that much, but the water will

could see what it has taken in. 1t is
estimated that a common pai!ful Of
ice-cold water will absorb in six hours
n quart Of carbonic acid and several
pints of smonia from the air. For
the purpose OF purifying the air the
water is alright, but don't use it to
wash in or TO drink. For those pur-
poses use fresh water, just drawn, or
use from vessels that are ALWAYS COW

A CRUEL HOAX.
Oecoy Geese That Took in the
Sports.

On Sunday last there Was a dread
ful hoax played Oh some local sports
by Jake Martin. Il appears that a
few days before a flock Of geese had
landed in Il field below the race track.
and the event caused great excitement
among the local sports, who watched
b field in the hopes of a second visit.
George Bryson went SO far as to
scatter soma grain there and paid a
boy. who lived near by, a quarter to
keep him posted in case they showed
up again. On Sunday the hoy showed
up with the intelligence that they were
feeding in the field George grabbed
his trusty gun, and was about to start
Out when Fatty" Conn, his partner,
insisted that George tend bar and give
him chance, He thought George was
doing all the sporting, and it WAS
time some one else had a whack at
game. George held that the tact that
he had scattered the grain, gave him
pflor rights and he Sot away with it.
When he got to the spot sure enough
there were "A dozen big geese.
Il thought you vas joshin' me-" he
said to the boy, here's anotber quar-
ter. Now they got their heads up and
they scent danger, We must lay low if
we get a shot"
He at once sank down on his
stomach and began to crawl. By the
time he had crawled about a quarter
or "a mile he saw another mar also
crawling up aud recognized it as
G+orge Mills. He cursed Mills under
his breath, hut kept on crawling.
Then he -aw Hume Yerington steal
ing up along the fence and also Kid
Nulty.
The idea Of Nnlty being in the
game made Bryson wild. His gun
don't carry over twenty yards and
would surely scare the game.
"If The prsky Things don't hy by the
tisle L get ten yards closer I'll let go
both BARRELS" said George to him
self. and when he crawled the ten
yards he added five more to make
sure and hen raised up and let the
birds have the gun.
Three o guns barked from diff
ferent parts Of the field but not &
goose stirred. He slipped IN two more

that horticulturists unite and sell no
fruit under paying prices depends very
much upon the action of congress in fix
ing duties on fruit, says the San Fran
cisco Bulletin. People will buy Cali
fornia fruit at paying prices, providing
that they cannot get foreign fruit at
prices that would not pay in California.
AS the Bulletin said on Wednesday, the
south of Europe fruit grower has the ad-
cheaper labor and cheaper transporta-
ton. Fruit from the Mediterranean can
be landed in Atlantic city ports at lower
prices than the California grower can af-
ford. Our market will. therefore, be linn
tied, in the absence of adequate protec-
tion, to the Pacific coast and points in
the Mississippi valley which can be
reached from this coast as cheaply as
from the Mediterranean.
The convention has outlined sched-
ule of duties under which the industry
may be made to prosper. A duty of
cents a pound on raisins and Zante cur
rants is asked for. Olive oil needs duty
of 81 a gallon. Figs ask for cents,
prunes and plums 21a cents. Almonds
cents in the shell and 10 cents shelled.
Oranges, lemons and lines need duty
of 20 cents a cubic foot Preserved fruit
asks for protection at the rate of 40 cents
ad valorem. If these duties can be OBJ
tanned the proposition of Mr.. Cooper to
combine to secure fair prices seems
practicable
