Some Curious Time-Keepers,

An American traveller once saw a
rare and wonderful japanese time
piece. lie described it as being in a
frame three feet wide and five feet
long, representing a MONDAY land
scape of great loveliness. In the fore
ground were plum and cherry trees
and rich plants in full bloom; in the
rear hill, gradual in ascent, from
which flowed, or seemed to flow, a cas-
cade, admirably initiated in crystal.
From this point a thread-like stream
glided along, encircling rocks and is.
lands in its windings, finally losing it.
self in a far-off stretch of woodland.
In miniature sky above a golden sun
turned on silver wire, striking the
hours on silver gOngs as it passed.
Each hour was marked on the frame,
and indicated by slowly creeping
tortise, which served in the place of a
hand or pointer. A bird of exquisite
plumage sang at the close of each
hour, and as the song ceased mouse
sprang from grotto near by, and
scampering over the hill IN the garden,
was soon lost to view.
In the South Kensington Museum,
London, there is watch representing
an apple, which is about the size of a
cherry and is composed of 1913
pieces.
A Nuremberg watch in the form
of an acorn has tiny pistol
which serves as an alarm.
The Bishop of Ely had watch in
his canehead, and the Prince of Sax.

Fibre From Palmetto LeaYes.

Near Jacksonville, Fla, company
has commenced tie business of con-
vcrting the leaves of the common
scrub palmetto into a fibre fiji for COM
mcrcial purpo.es. The process of
Transformation is not at all compli-
Gated. The work is done by machine
so simple in construction that a boy
can manipulate it. The leaves Of the
palmetto go ICED between washers
and are ci;lf4vd by them into a box
furnished with two revolving cyliE-
ders, each having teeth that tear the
leaves lcngthwi'c in'o long strips.
This process finally divests them of
the soft vegetable parts which enter
into their composition, nothing re-
naming but the tough fibre. This is
then forced down a chute TO a lower
floor, where it is dried and packed in
bales ready for shipment, Although
the industry is yet IN its infancy, ,many
uses have beou already found for the
fibre, the principal demand at the
present time being for stutfing mat
tresscs and upholstered furniture. 1t
costs only about one-fourth as much

Inc horse is involved in the most
ancient supcrstitions of the people of
Arabia. They believed him to be en-
dowed with nature superior, not in
degree only, but in kind, to that of all
other animals, and 20 have 6eG;ii
framed by TIE Almighty with a special
regard to the convenience of man.
One of their oldest proverbs tells them
that the horse is the most eminent of
dumb brutcs, and that the most mo9i-
torious of domestic action, IS that of
feeding him. Mohamct himself incul-
Gated a lesson of kindness to the horse
when he said; GAS many grains of
barley as are contained in tile food we
give a horse, SO many indulgences do
we daily gain by giving it," The be-
lief is widespread in the East that all
pure Arabian horses are descended
from Mohamct's five favorile mares,
upon one of which the prophet fed
from Mecca to Medina. -TSt. Louis

A Fun-LOyipg Seal.

The mother seal at the Zoo got
rather gay last Sunday afternoon
while a big crowd of ladies. gentle
men and children was standing around
eagerly watching the baby seal. The
mother seal would watch and sec
where the crowd was thickest, slide
quietly under the water. come up
close as possible 20 where The crowd
was, and then, with seemingly pure
devlitry, jump up andsplash the water
in such way as to cover and wet
every one within twenty feet. And
it kept this sort of fun up all the
afternoon. No matter on which side
of the tank the crowd got, the seal
would make a quiet sneak under the
water, and then, quick as lightning,
show up near the crowd and get in its
funny business.-[Cincinnati En-

Telling the Bees

Out of the house where the slumbefer lay
Grandfather came one summer day,
And under the pleasant orchard trees
He spake this wise to the sumberng bees ;
"The cover bloom that kissed her feet
And the posie bed where she used to
play
Have honey store, but none so sweet
As ere our little one went away.
0 bees. sing soft, and bees sing low,
For she is gone who loved you soV
A wonder fell on the listening bees
Under those pleasant orchard trees,
And in their toll that summer day
Ever their murmuring seemed to say:
"Chld. o child, the grass is cool
And the posies are waking 10 hear the
song
Of the bird that sings by the shaded pool,
Waiting for one that tarrieth long"
Twas so they called to the little one then,
Asif to call her back again.
o gentle bees, have come to say
That grandfather fell asleep today.
And we know by the smile on grandfather's
face
lie has found his dear ones hiding place.
So bees, sing soft, and bees, sing low,
As over the honey fields you sweep;
To the trees abloom and the flowers ablow
Sing of grandfather fast asleep.
A nd ever beneath these orchard trees
Find cheer and shelter, gentle bees.

Farming for Flowers.

Flower farming is an industry TO
the development of which in this
country the Department of Agricul-
turc looks forward with hopeful con-
fidence. At present the United States
is an enormous buyer from France of
cologne waters, pomadcs and per-
fumed oils, which might just as well
be produced domesically. Many great
districts at a moderately high altitude
between the thirlieth and forticth par
allels of latitude are exccllontly adapt
cd to this sort of horticultural pursuit
on a commercial scale, and the only
reason why it has not already been
taken up aud pushed to success seems
to be that no one has seriously thought
about it.
This seems rather surprising, too,
in view of the comparative simplicity
Of the business and Of the readiness
Of opportunities at hand. There is no
essential peculiarly of soil or climate
in the flower farming region in the
south of France which is not repro.
duced over great extents of territory
here. What is required for the pur-
pose is merely an altitude of at least
500 feet above sea level, a calcareous
soil, shelter from cold north winds
and freedom from the white frosts of
lower areas. Attempts have been made
in Florida TO raise orange blossoms for
market, but their failure was due
simply TO the circumstance that low
lying lands were selected for their
cultivation, trees bearing the edible
fruit being used for the purpose. Ex-
perience has shown that flowers of all
sorts grown high above the sea have
a finer and more intense bouquet
One great advantage which Ameri-
can producers would ordinarily en-
joy is natural moisture in plenty,
whereas the French are obliged to de-
pend largely upon expensive irriga-
ton. : Washington Star.
