Telling Time by Flowers.

The judges house was over in the
French quarter Of New Orleans, unat.
tractiye outside, bat as soon as you got
into the broad hall q cool breeze struck
you, laden, without cyaggeration, with
the balm Of thousand flowers. The
hall led right through the house, and
opened into n regular fairyland Of
flowers, garden the Ike OF which | had
never dreamed OF. 1t was surrounded
by high wall and had plants in it from
every country under the sun The white
haired old gentleman AMI group Of
grandchildren hanging about HIN took
lis about, and the first thing we stopped
at was large oval plot, set out with
small pants around tle edge. "This,"
said the judge, lis my clock. What
time ia it, Clara2' he asked of enc of the
CHI dren. The girl ran around the plot
and said it WAS o'clock, and so it was.
The four o'clock was in bloom. "In
fact" sid the s,ory-tc!ler, "thc clock
was made up OF flowers In the centre
was Il pair Of hands, of wood, covered
with some beautiful vine, but they had
nothing, however, to do with the time
telling.
The plan was this: The Judge had no.
tiCcd that at almost every hour in the day
some plant bloomed, and working on
this principle he had selected plants of
different hours and placed them in q
circle, twenty-four in number, one for
every hoHr. For example, at the top Of
the earthcn clock; at IL o'clock, was
planted the portalscca, and be told mo
1t would bloom within ten minutes Of
f., and rarely mi39. At the hours Of /,
and he hal jifercnt varieties of this
same plant, all Of which b oomed at the
hour opposite to which it was planted.
At 4 o'clock he had our common plant
Of that namo, and YOU all know how you
can depend on that. At 5 the garden
uiotago came out, at G the geranium
iris c aud ut 7 the evening primrose.
Opposite 8 o'clock he had The bona nox
and at 8 the silent noctiiora all these
blooming at or near the time given. At
10 O'clock, if I remember rightly, he had
acactus, at Ii another kind, and at IL
the ght-blooming cereus.
Half Of the year some OF the plants
don't bloom at ali. The plants opposite
and in the morning were cacti, that
doomed about that tim', and at was
planted the common sa'siiy, and at 4
The chicory, ut the snow-thistlc and at

And she wasn't half as good OF return

Fr!ghtful Collision on the Georgia Pa
cific Railroad.
ELEVEN LIVES LOST.

tr!ghtful Collision on the Georgia Pa
cific Railroad.
A lIiShtfill collision occurred on the Georgia
Pacific railroad, about 10 miles from Atlanta,
Ca, recently, in which II lives were lost and
three persons wero so badly injured that it is
thought that dcath will result. The clcum-
stances oil the wreck arc MS follows: The East
Tennessee and GcOrgia Pacific roNds use the
same tack from Atlanta to Austcll where
they diver8e, ono going west and the other
north, They, however leave the city from
different depots, and meet lust at tho city
limits and from there both use the same track
TO Austol. Just one mile east of Austell, to-
ward Atlanta is water tank used by the
Georgia Pacific.
The night passenger train of the Georgia
Pacific leaves Atlanta at 10 o'clock, and the
East Tennessee train at 1915 o'clock. On the
night Of the accident, however, the Georgia
Pacific was somewhat delayed, and when it
stopped ut the water tank was on the East Ten
nessees time. The East Tennessee passenger
train came flying around n curve near the water
tank, and, without Il moments warning, went
crashing into the rear OF the Georgia Pacific
train. Engineer Owen and the fireman OF the
East Tennessee train saw the Georgia Pacific
train, but too late 10 avoid collision. The
fireman Jumped from the engine, but the en-
gineer remained ut his post reversing the en-.
CINE and applying the brakes, He was unable,
however, to avert tho collision, The engine
tore its way into the rear coach, which tclc-
scopcd the one in front of it, which in turn
was forced into the one ahead OF it. The rear
coach was filled with passengers, many of
whom were so pinned down by the wreck that
they were unable to stir, and the escaping
steam soon caused the death of five on six.
The cries of the injured rent the mir. All was
darkness, and those who FASTENED to the scene
say that words cannot describe the awful situa-
tiOn.
Tho dead are: Bernard Pcyton of Biz
m'ngham, Alabama, attorney oil the
GcolgiN Pacific; Nathan Stanley Of
Admission, Ala. L. Y. Elule Of East Point,
Ga; j. W. Pierce oil Texas; and one little
baby. the infant OF Jake and Mary Banks, who
