The leaves were divided into parcels
OF hive maces each "a little over half
an ounce), and each parcel was
wrapped In pure silver foil. This

paper and put into little bag of
bright colored silk. A hundred
bags were placed in a porcelain

A SIMPLE TRICK.
How Blind Man Can Tell the Time
by His Watch.

There is blind organ grinder
with a station on one of the down.
town streets. The other day a pass
erby dropped a nickel in his cup
and, noticing that he carried a
watch, asked him for the time. il
was queer question to ask, but he
wanted to know whether the blind
man was simply pretending to be
sightless.
Il think can tell you," said the
organ grinder. He held the watch
close to his ear and slowly turned
the stem winder. cone, two, three.
four, five, six, seven, eight" he
counted and then said: Chat means
eighty minutes. l wound up the
watch tightly just as the church
clock on the corner struck 3. and
SO the time ought to be about twen-
ty minutes past 4. Here, look and
see how near l came to it."
His questioner looked, and the
time was 4:26. lie was only six
minutes off. do you mean to say
you can tell the time of dav by
winding up your watch?" he asked.
Not exactly, but 1 can come
mighty near it, usually within ten
minutes. It's an easy trick, and
all you have to know is how long
one click in winding up will run the
watch: I'll explain. Suppose that
at o'clock L wound my watch until
1t was tight-that is, until another
turn of the stem would apparently
break the spring. At o'clock !
wind the watch again and find that
the winder clicks twelve times be-
fore the watch is tight. Then I
know that twelve clicks will run the
watch 120 minutes and that one
click represents about ten minutes
of time. New York Mail and Ex-
