Telling Time Without a Watch.

The following clever device is the way
in which the natives of Liberia, in West
Africa, who have no clocks, tell the
time: They take the kernels from the
nuts of the candle tree and wash and
string them on the rib of palm leaf
The first, or top, kernel is then lighted.
All of the kernels are of the same
size and substance, and each will burn
q certain number of minutes, and then
set fire to the one next below.

American Eeauty Roses.

The discoverer of the American beauty
rose was man named Field, who had
charge of the white house conserva-
tories in the time of President Grant.
One day Field went in the greenhouse
attached to the residence of Bancroft,
the historian, where he saw a rose of
unusual beauty and size, which the
man in charge said had sprung from
German cutting. Field bought the
bush for five dollars, and a few years
later sold all the cuttings and plants
from the bush for $4,000 and bought
real estate near Washington that ten
years ago was sold for $4,000, and is
now probably worth good deal more
than then

lWalnS most humorous and clever con.
ceit. "Pudd'nhead Wilson" We are told
that no one would enjoy Mr.. Ilamilton's
conception and impersonation of the quaint
simple minded yet withal shrewd old law
yer than Mark Twain himself. in whose
fertile brain he had his being. But the
book being familiar to the playgoing yub-
lie there is no need of going INTO detail
about the plot. which is simple original
yet ingenious, inasmuch as IL hinges upon
the anatomical and TO the criminologist
most interesting dissimilarity of people S
thumbs, fact which is being utilzel a
great deal in the East for the identifica-
ton of criminals. pudd'nhead Wilson has
made this study his fad, and hrougn 1t
he traces the guilty and causes the limo
cent to be acquitted. That Mr. Hamilton
should be quite effective in bridging out
the quaint humor of Pudd'nnead Wilson
with dizziness goes without saying, for he
is noted to give to any character that he
rortrays all these light touches .at tell
the finished actor. The play will be staged
