that purpose, and that there may be no
misunderstanding in the matter, shall
inform you beforehand that you, Serv-
ant Gf you bring One), and horses will

you for which pecuniary compensation

it most beautifully. The nose is delicate

worth. The eyes are black and deep,
and in repose gaze with dreamy look
as if they could tales unfold. The
arched eyebrows match the eyes in

the fair, smooth brow and curling round

CHICAGO. Nov. 20.-A meeting of the
managers of the lines in the Central
Traffic association was held to-day to
consider the question of restoring all
east-bound freight rates. There was
no difficulty in reaching an agreement
to advance the rates on grain and pro-
visions to the old tariff of 25 and 80
cents respectively, but when it came
to restoring dressed beef and live stock
rates the trouble began. The Penn
sylvania management, whose opposi
ton to the ditferential system was one
of the causes leading to the dressed
beef dispute, does not seem to have
changed its position on that question,
and as the lines which were formerly
allowed differential rate on dressed
beef feel that they are entitled now to
the same privilege, the controversy was
renewed. The meeting finally adj
journed until tomorrow morning with

timent seemed to be that all difficulties
would be overcome tomorrow, and that

A SINGER THAT STINGS.
A Wasp That Carries the Spanish
Inuuisition in His Tail,

Inquisition in His Tail.
New York Telegram.
When Mexican wasp feels we'll, and
is Tot troubled with rheumatism in the
back, it can put more of Its fine work
into a square inch of mans cuticle
than any other live fowl on the globe.
A man who has been thoroughly stung
by Mexican wasp takes delight in
drinking melted lead or gallon Or-two
of hot liquid sulphur, they are so de-
licious by contrast. A few red-hot nails
driven into the soleS of ones feet seem
to ease the pain inadvertently left by
these wasps.
eff you have never been stung by an
old-faShiOned Mexican wasp writes
Charles Brazil from Pueblo, Col, ''it is
an experience you want to avoid care
fully, contenting yourself with such in
formation about the little beauty as you
can gather from third parties and dOcu-
ments. 1t is. when mature and healthy,
about two inches long, with a sting that
looks like the point of fine cambria
needle. 1t is a brownish red in color,
and it's disposition is always hostile.
When it stings you there is for a mo-
ment or two sensation of numbneSS
above the part, which rapidly gives
place to a pain that can only be de-
scribed as agony. If you can imagine
how it would feel to have wire drawn
through the most sensitive part OF your
body and then raised slowly to a white
heat, you could perhaps torn theoret-
ical idea of what the feeling is like.
THE sting is never fatal, and the
pain passes away after an hour or so,
but it's simply anguish while it lasts.
During the Mexican war one of the COM
panies of Doniphan's command camped
in an old building where there was a
colony of these wasps. They managed
to disturb the insects in some way, and
the company was completely routed and
demoralized; some Of the men ran
miles away from the place before they
were found an gathered in. DR. Gum
ming, of Beshoar, Col, has made quite
a study of these articulates, which, he
says, represent an unclassified member
OF the wasp family. There are, be-
lieve. no living creatures outside of the
snakes, scorpions and centipedes which
are able to inflict so much suffering on
their enemies"
