CAPTUR.S ANTELOPES A South Dakota girl, Miss Lucile | | Wilson, who is at present “roughing it" on her brother's cattle ranch near | Hampshire, Wyo.. has distingaished herself by running down and captur- ing two antelopes, a feat whish even | the most, experienced and reckiess { cow punchers can rarely perform. The baby antelopes, notwithstanding their ; smallness, were remarkably fleet of foot, but the horse Miss Wilson was riding was one of the swiftest in that part of Wyoming, and aftér an excit- ing pursuit of nearly four miles one of the fawns was overtaken. Miss Wil- son jumped from her horse, grabbed the little fellow and tied its feet with one of the rawhide thongs from the saddle, then hastily remounted and | continued her pursuit of the other one, which she also succeeded in captur- ing. - DAINTY ACTRESS WHO TELLS T“!;lEDBO'l'AYJNJI OWN MAN WHAT RO SR PSR Edna Wallace Hopper it the New York World delivers herself of the following advice to the man who stays Improvement. “Your wife is improving with her baking, isn’t she?” * sometimes change their minds.

You will look better the next day at the office. Don’t invite too many bibulous friends to the house. They don't im- prove the appearance of things. Don’t play poker on the best pol- ished mahogany table. Chips scratch. Don’t fail to change your address it your next dcor neighbers are at home. You will save yourself future trouble if you do. Dor't forget to visit the family the first Sunday or two. You will enjoy your week in town better and your wife's vacation will probably be ex- tended. Don’t forget the box of é-ndy, new present when you do visit your fam- iily. Your pepularity will surprise you. _ Don't send a telegram saying that important business detains you in town. Your infant daughter wen't believe that gag nowadays. Don't acquire too many roof gar- den songs. Your office boy couldn’t teach them all to you.

It is simply a new and origindl | application of the alarm to the clocks | made in the Black Forest, possessing a certain peculiarity which he designates | the Alpine Waker. ‘Whenever in th pastures the tudes of high herds of the co t m |and Switzerland desire 10 ¢ 1 | with one another over listances too . far for the voice to carry they make use of a sort of woeden drum, upon which they strike with a2 wooden ham- | mer, thus preducing a sound which is | distinetly audible over a long. distance. This custom is the father of the idea. |~ Just above the dial on the clock will be found a wooden hammer, which, actuated by the alarm movement, beats upon a thin board, raised an inch from | the face of the clock, as upon a drum, | producing a sound of remarkable .In- tensity, more thrilling indeed than that { of the ordinary metal bell. LIKES THE CARTOONS The Palo Alto Citizen drints the fol- lowing: Davenport, the famous car- toonist, who served for so many years on the Hearst papers, has finally tired of the dirty work that he was called upon to perform for his lampooning master and is now furnishing some of | the best and most humbrous cartoons | ever published for the San Francisco | Call and the New York Mail. One of | these is published every day on the edi- | torial page of the Call and to be appre- | clated must be seen.

The general of- | fect of vegetation is to purify the afe i'l'he leaves of plants and trees inhale | carbonic acid gas, the poisoncus ele- ment of the atmosphere thrown out by | animals in breathing, and gives out | oxygen, the life-giving element, with- | out which animal life cannot exist. The constant action of the leaves of plants is one of the natural agencies by which the proportion of carbonic acid in. the air is always kept at a minimum. This element, carbonic acid, without which plant life could not exist, is poisondus to animal life; not as is usually sup- posed, because it is in itself a poison, but because when more than a cer- tain proportion of it is in the air res- piration becomes impeossible. It is not a poison to the stomach or blood, but is deadly to the lungs. Yet though it is true that the general influence of vegetation is to render the air pure, it is also true that house plants should never be kent in sleeping rooms, mor indeed in any rooms generally occu- pled, if the matter of wventilation is not carefully attended to in them. Every green leaf on tree or plant sucks in during the sunshine carbomic acid ' gas from the air and breathes out oxy- | gen, but this is only in the day time. | During the night this action ceases and | the reverse process goes om, that s, | taking oxygen and giving out carbenic lacld gas. Harm dome by plants in | houses is caused, especially when they are blossoming and at all times at
