HOMEMADE FILTER. J
A Reliable and Inexpensive Device
For Purifying Water.


For Purifying Water.
Here is a piece Of information that
may be valuable and that is how to
make an inexpensive but entirely reli-
able filter. For this purpose one had
better take a stone jar, though for that
matter most any receptacle will do. A
hole sufficiently large for the stream
Of water one desires to enter the filter
should be bored in the bottom, and
after this is accomplished the recep-
tacle must be filed with a layer Of
sand several inches deep, then a layer
Of bits Of sponge and on this to level
with the top Of the jar plenty of small
gravel or pebbles.
When the receptacle has been so
filed a piece Of wire screen is to be
fastened over the top, made secure
with bands Of wire. The homemade
filter must then be inverted over an
other receptacle into which the filtered
water is TO drop, the little orifice at
tached to the hydrant by means OF a
small hose. and it is ready for business
ready to purify the water and render
It as clear as the proverbial crystal.
Except for the original cost Of the jar
and hose, which may be used indeh-
nitely, the entire cost of the thing will
not be more than a couple Of cents
and the tiltering ingredients may be
cleaned each day with hot water with
aut very mich trouble or nsw sand

PATTERNS FROM THE LATEST
NEW YORK FASHIONS
Pattern For Girls FrOck With Closing on Shoulder
by Martha Dean-No A6I6

. The question Of school frocks for the
little maiden is no small one, and mothers
everywhere are trying to find something
new and different from those they have
been making ever since the little daughter
had her first school lesson. One reckons
the schoolgirls gowns by the dozen and
not by the pair. Cleanliness may be next
TO salvation, and a child must then be
saved by salvation alone, for It is far
easier TO keep her TO the rule of three
than to keep her gowns spotless, free from
ink spots. frayed and rubbed spots and
burst buttonholes. II is probably the girls
of from eight to fourteen years that are
hardest to reckon with. They must have
styles that are especially adapted to
themselves. for they are neither children
nor yet can they be classed as of the
misses age. For such girls are we show
ing the design today. II is a most grace
ful arrangement, with its very wide box
plait at center Of front and at the back,
and a smart jaunty air is given the whole
makeup by the Introduction of a box plait
in the underarm seam, which insures
plenty of flare to the skirt. It also forms
"A strap at the upper edge. through which
the belt may be passed. These are not all
OF the good features. however for its
unique closing on the shoulder must not
be overlooked. The closing is effected by
buttons and buttonholes, or, If a braid
finish is desired, II could be fastened with
hooks and loops. 1t is slipped on over the
head and is entirely separate from the
gr.mpe. which may be Of the same ma
terial or Of wash material OF contrasting
color. For smart little gown whose
counterpart one does not see on every
other child one meets this is the best and
newest Of the season and. being one
piece dress, is as simple and easily made
as a Mother Hubbard. Sizes. 4 to y years.

Every one must admit that wireless

world was agog over the new art the
writer, to entertain and amuse a party
Of his friends, used it one evening at
his home for the purpose Of ringing the

To this end a push button connecting
with the transmitter was arranged at

CATARRu CURE.
"Hyomei Costs You Nothing If 1t
Fails" Say Bowditch & Webster and
Percy w. Means.

Among the many medicines upon the
market that claim to cure catarrh
none but Hyomei has enough faith in
its own merit to offer to refund the
money if it does not cure.
Hyomei is the only method of treat
ment that sends by direct inhalation
to the most remote parts of the air
messages, a balsamic air that destroys
all catarrhal germs in the breathing
organs. enriches and purifies the
blood with additional ozone, and makes
permanent and complete cures OF
catarrh.
The complete outfit costs s1.OO and
comprises an inhaler, bottle of Hyo-
cents.
Breathe Hyomei for a few minutes
four times day. and your catarrh
will grow better from the first days
use. and will be completely cured
within a short time.
1t is the only treatment for catarrh
where YOU can get your money back

the part of the cat, she quickly regained

ner that could not escape unnoticed.
After the first tremor of excitement
which had been occasioned by the
arrival of the deputy marshal with the
cat in the bag had subsidized Madame
Brann took from her pocket a strap
with a long cord attached, and fas-
tening the strap around the cats body
just behind the forward legs, made the
other end of the cord fast to one of the
legs which support the rail in front of
the bar, and then stepped back to
await the result of the experiment.
This treatment did not jar puss
bit, and after going to the length of
the rope and finding her progress stop
ped i'll that direction, she came back
and sat herself down, and was speedily
very much at home. This action on
the part of the cat was conclusive, and
the ruling OF the court was that this
last bit of evidence which had been
submitted was conclusive as to the
ownership of the cat, and Madame
Brann was allowed to take her pet and
carry it home.
The other assault and battery case
grew out of the arrest of Manuel Ma
chado Tuesday evening, on Il warrant
sworn out against him by John Pedro.
Both of the parties We're Portuguese,
and the evidence was given in that
1,,,o l,e-l-
through the medium OF an interpretc CT.
When both sides had been heard. and
the evidence sifted out, the story was
was about as follows:
The trouble occurred at the rear gate
to the yard of the cotton mills, when
the men We're on their way home at
the close of the day. Pedro had told
the wife of one OF his friends with
whom MachadO boarded. that Machado
had said to him that he had got to get
another boarding place, IS the wife of
the man with whom he boarded
thought too much of him. This story
the wife promptly told her husband.
with the result that the man went to
Machado and asked him about it. He
denied the story, and when Pedro left
the mill Tuesday afternoon, Machado
overlook him near the gate. and the
trouble referred to above enSucd. Ma
chado denied that he had struck Pedro
with sIun;, shot. and an examination
of the wounds on Pcdro's head did
not prove them to DC so bad as at first
reported.
The court was not disposed to con-
sure Machado for the action he had
taken in the matter, except that he
had administered a trifle too much
punishment to the plaintiff. but not
desiring to encourage any such siren
uous methods in the settlement of dis
putes in the future visited upon Ma
chadO a fine of SO. which WAS paid.
The other case was that of Alphonsc
Gramoise of Manchester, n. H.. who
was in for intOXication. AlphOnSe OK
planned that he WAS at work in the
woods about four miles from the city.
and that the cause of his undoing was
a gallon of stimulant which he and a
friend had received from Boston. He
had no money TO pay a. fine, and the
court allowed him the privilege of
going back to the woods, provided he
should do so before the sun WAS Is
minutes higher, which it is presumed
that he did.
