Why They Should Be Put Out Of Doors

keep flowers or growing plants In q

air becomes somewhat humid If many

change give OF carbonic dioxide as

The action Of sunlight upon the
stems. leaves and all green parts of
flowers Is to store carbonic dioxide
within the plants and release oxygen.
Thus in daylight there Is fair bal
ance between the carbonic dioxide and
the oxygen given and taken, leaving
neither good nor i'll results. But dur
ing the entire night the plant contin-
ues to breathe. and until the return of
daylight the oxygen Is used just like
an additional person breathing In the
room, thus leaving less oxygen for the
use Of the invalid. Therefore the
standing order to remove all plants
and flowers at night Is based upon the
facts Of plant physiology and is right

WAS BANNER YEAR
FOR IMPROVEMENTS
New Record for the City Gov
eminent Was Estab- Q
lished in 1911.

According to rough estimate given
out by Fred II. Charles. city civil en-
sineer, more public improvements
have been made during the past year
than during any other year in the his
tory of the city. More than 100000
has been spent in public improvements
during 1911 and this amount is $4,000
more than amounts which represent
the cost OF public improvements Of
any previous year. In 1905. Sis. 200
was spent on public improvements.
Engineer Charles report is as ye,
incomplete and will not be made pub
lie in detail until the first council
meeting next year. Mr.. Charles says
that it has been the biggest year S
work in the engineers office.
The paving of North E street from
Sixteenth to Tenth street cost SEQ
600 one-third of which amount was
paid by the city. This was probably
the largest Improvement made during
the year. The matchmaking Of West
Fifth street from the National road tC
Richmond avenue cost $4,000. while
| the paving of North D street called fol
a total expenditure of $4,000. The
construction of a macadam roadway
! on West First street, from kinsey tc
| Lincoln street, which is considered
| the nucleus for the river boulevard
cost $4,000. These are considered the
most important public improvements
made during the past year.
| In all, according to the engineers
report, there were ten miles of side
walks constructed. All of the walks
| were constructed of cement.
Very few extensions to the sewer
systems were made during the year
There were but seven-tenths OF a mile
Of sewers constructed. In 1908 anC
1909 the large sewers were built ant
others were extended.
| During Mayor Zimmerman's first
year he made very few public i'm
provements, saying that debts con
| tracted during the preceding admins
tration should be paid before new i'm
! provements were made to the city's
streets, sewers and alleys. However
he made the statement, that in 1911
more public improvements would bt
made than in any other year. ant
from the engineers figures his predic
ton has been fulfilled.

Ard the Old Man Didn't Know Which
Set Was tho Worst.
An old man from rural England
with his wife was on a holiday In
London and decided on an evening at
a theater. He looked up the adver-
tisements In the papers and selected n
house where "Ali Bahia and the Forty
Thieves" was being played. 1t was a
''cheap" house. the price Of stalls be-
ing given as two-and- sixpence. The
farmer was surprised. however. on ar
irving at the box ONCE to be met with
q demand for shillings for the two
tickets. The extra sixpence per seat.
it was explained, was for booking.
Then he was called upon to pay six
pence for a program. and the female
attendant who showed him to the
seats also asked for sixpence. in addi
ton to which there was a shilling to
be paid for hats and coats being taken
care Of in spite OF his protest that
they could take care Of them them
selves. A footstool was brought for
his wife and was accepted without
suspicion that It would be charged for.
but the attendant who brought it ce-
manded another sixpence. and finally
opera glasses were handed to them
and payment Of another sixpence re-
quested. Then the farmer went in
search of the manager and. finding
him. said in a tone of deepest disgust:
"You may do what you like with these
tickets. There are so many thieves In
front of the house that we don't think
we want to see the forty on the
stage!"-Iondon Answers.

Warted-1wo Good Murderers.

"antc0-1"o oOOo "OroeFSFS.
Some curious letters passed between
Garrick and a man named Stone. The
latter was employed to get recruits for
the low parts of the drama, and one
night he wrote to Garrick. Sir, the
bishop of Winchester is getting drunk
at the Bear and swears he will not
play tonight
At first sight this seems peculiar con
duct for bishop. but it should be ex-
planned that the communication only
refers to the man engaged to take that
character in the play of Henry VIII"
On another occasion Garrick wrote
to Stone: If you can get me two good
murderers l will pay you handsomely,
particularly the spouting fellow who
keeps the apple stall on Tower hill.
The cut in his face is just the thing.
Pick me up an alderman or two for
Richard If you can, and have no OBJ
lection to treat with you for a comely
mayor"
