CURIosITEs or CUBAN CLIMATE.
The Way Natives Plant Fences In
stead of building Them.

stead of Building Them.
Washington. Dec. 22-Some cdd things
happen In Cuba. A man wishes a fence
around his yard or field; he doesn't build
it, he plants it-and It grows, too. First
he cuts a great bundle Of p.non twIgs,
then he scratches little trench where he
wants his fence TO run and finally he sticks
in the twlgs in a row a few inches apart
The soil of Cuba is so rich and the weath-
er so warm and moist that directly the
twigs take root, throw out branches and
leaves and presently there Is a dense
hedge of plnon trees enclosing the field.
And there are no nails to drop out here
nor boards to fan down and let in the cat
tie and the fence is good for a hundred
years.
Nor Is that the most curious thing that
one may see in Cuba. What would you
think Of camp table that grew? Whiie
the American soldiers were camped back
Of Santiago they made great numbers Of
little tables by driving forked sticks in the
ground for legs and using a top of boards.
OF course the legs took root and some %
these tables are now nicely shaded BY
leafy branches, and in two or three years
four nice trees viii be growing there and
no one would ever dream that they once
were table legs. Another curious thing.
At Guantanamo once saw an old tin can
fastened around the branch OF big Gu
ban laurel tree some four or FIVE feet from
its leafy end. II was packed full OF
earth and wondered what could be the
purpose of 1t.
That's simple enough" said the Cuban
householder. I'm a few weeks roots will
grow in the earth inside the tin can Then
we can cut off the limb just back of the
can, stick il in the ground, take away the
can and 1t will grow into large tree"
Plant a caulifower plant in Cuba and
instead of spreading out in big fat head
like a cabbage, IL spindles up for all the
world like a sunfower. three or four feet
high with big rank leaves and little fiow-
err at the top that yon never could recog-
nize as a caulihower.

had been relieved of some OF its burdens
and all were gathered in the quiet parlor,
after o Eountiful dinner. some one said,
"Well what shan we call the new baby?'
Pretty names galore were suggested the
children wanted TO call her Matte Love
or Susy May. but no enc che seemed to
think those names would do and at last
papa said Il think we wif give her a goo1
plain, quiet name, and as / am anxious
that this one shall be somewhere near 40
lovely as her mamma, / want to call her
afler one Of the sweetest women OF the
Bible. What do you say TO Ruth mamma
wouldn't that be a good name for our
baby2
And the mamma smiled and blushed at
the compliment. and said she thought 1t
would, aud then suddenly Il occurred 10
the name to fit the little darling, and won-
dered why they had not thought of It boz
fore.
SO the baby was brought out and given
Its new name and kissed by all the adm r
ing relatives. and then taken back 10 its
warm nest besides mamma again, and
while they were all sitting quietly m the
gathering dusk, there came across tho
snowy yard sound OF voices and these
were The words that ioated across 10 them
in song.
"The heavenly Babe We there shall find.
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped In swaddling clothes
And In manger laid"
And the happy mother casped her dar-
ling closer and thanked God for another
precious treasure to love ard care for, and
the children both felt that they would be
willing 10 give up any and ala OF their
Christmas gifts except just one, darling
Baby Ruth.

WORLDS FIRST FOLDING BED.
1t Was the Invention of n Western
Man Named johnson.

Washington, Dec. 22,-"No invention Of
modern times so filled the proverbial
long-felt want as did the folding bed"
These are the words Of Robert C. GIL, the
head of the model rooms in the patent
office in Washington-a genius who car
ries in his head the most minute details OF
all the several hundred thousand models
that are entrusted TO his care.
The particular model to which he re-
ferred was the crudest form of a COLLAPSE
BILE bedstead ever devised. But that rude
bed cut in sections and hinged so that Il
the germ of an idea, and to that we owe
bed Of to-day.
The inventor of the folding bed was
one James A. Johnston, a Westerner, to
whom letters patent No. 17,2S1 was grant
ed on May u, 1857.
No provision was made in the bed for
the storing Of the mattress. pillows and
bed clothes, as Is common in the folding
bed OF to-day.
Also unlike the modern contrivance,
which when folded resembles a bureau
chiffonier or other similar piece Of furni-
ture, the folding bed patented by Johnston
made no pretense OF looking like anything
other than just what It was.
A company manufactured the Johnston
patent and Il had quite a vogue In It's day
Little by little improvements we're made
on the bed. and within the past score Of
years the piece OF furniture we know to-
day was evolved, and there are several
hundreds OF varieties OF them patented.

GOSSIP ABOUT HANNA,

The gossip about the imminent re-
tirement of Senator Hanna from the
Craftsmanship of the republican national
committee has its apparent inspiration
in the same popocratic sources from
which have emanated periodic stories
about discords in republican circles. 1t
is plain that nothing would suit the
popocrats better than the resignation
of the republican national committee
chairman in such a manner that it
might be hailed by them as sign Of
the disorganization of their political op-
ponents and used to the utmost for po-
litical capital.
AS matter of fact, however, none
of the rumors OF an immediate change
in the head of the republican committee
is to be traced to responsible author
ity, Senator Hanna refuses TO discuss
the question, while those who are clos
est to him, and who might be expected
TO know his intentions, dIsclaim all be-
lief in such assertions. While consider
ations Of health might prevail upon Sen
ator Hanna 10 give up his place at the
head of the party organization, there
are no other reasons which would
counsel such course. In his own state
of Ohio the senator has come out
triumphant with the solid strength Of
the republican party accepting and en-
dorsing the advice rendered by him. In
national politics the active work of the
committee will await the nominating
spring, when a new committee will be
constituted and new campaign begun,
Whether Senator Hanna is willing To
continue the arduous duties of national
chairman through another presidential
contest is an entirely different ques-
