AMUSEM ENTS.
"A True American Girl"

People who were at the Opera house,
last evening, saw. in the production of
"A True American Girl the best at
traction which the HarcOurt Co. has
presented during the week. The play
is a mclodrama, replcte with interest
ing situations that claimed the close
attention of the audience throughout
the evening. The company was at its
best. and the frequent applause was
evidence that its work was appre-
Ciated.
Mr.. Harris was up to his usual
standard, and was very acceptable in
his dclincdtion of the character of the
hero, Steve Harland. Miss Melvin, as
Maralda, the heroine. WAS early
favorite with the audience, and in adj
dition tn her charming stage presence.
was very strong i'm the Interpretation
of her part. J. A. Donegan, as Mr..
Granger, the hcnpecked husband of
Mrs. Granger was all right, and Edna
Macbeth, as the lady referred to above
had a correct conception of the type OF
woman known as Il tartar, and until
the closing act ruled one and all with
Il hand of iron. The other parts of the
cast were also well sustained.
In the specialties. Pete Griffin, the
comedian, won many friends by his
funny sayings and excellent foot work,
and Fred Walsh. I'm illustrated songs,
came i'm for his share of applause.
Grace Bccbe was acceptable in her
soubrettc part, and the moving pic
lures proved a good fit in their place.
The matinee. this afternoon, will be
"A Soldiers Wife," and the evening
attraction will be Western drama,
entitled Nevada"

Baby Parks in Japan.

Have you ever heard of the won
derful dwarf trees in Japan? 1t is
said that several specimens are to be
seen in the Roman garden owned by
a North Philadelphia family
These dwarf trees are perfect in
every respect. with gnarled trunks
and twisted branches-but are only a
foot or two in height.
In Japan dwarf parks are laid out
filed with these tiny trees. and little
bits Of streams Of water and bridges
and walks are put in here and there.
Instead of grass a cunning tiny
green moss is used. And in the tiny
two or three inch) flower beds the
most wonderful little Alpine flowers
aBe to be found.
The whole park, trees, flower beds.
streams. bridges and all, would stand
easily on an ordinary dining table.
No other people in the world know
how to dwarf trees. 1t is a secret
carefully preserved by the Japanese.

You know. boys and girls. we have
our day divided up into twenty-four
hours, beginning at y and ending at
y.
But the Japanese divide their time
into twelve parts. There are always
six parts belonging to the night and
six to the day The day begins at sun
rise and ends at sunset. And no mat
ter whether the day be long and the
night short. or the day short and the
night long. each one always consists
Of six parts.
You know there are two hands to
our clocix There are two hands also
to the Toxic clock, but the difference
between their clock and ours is in the
numbers on the face q the clock.
Our numbers stay exactly where the
clock maker put them in the first
place. but in the Toxic clock the NUM-
bers can be showed from one position
to another by the man who owns the
clock
The sunrise number is always
moved to keep pace with the time Of
the sunrise. and the same thing is
done with the sunset number And
then the five numbers between them
are moved until they devide the day
into six exactly equal parts.
