In the World--Its Trade Extends to
Nearly Every Civilized Nation on Earth.
ST. Louis Republic, January q, 1896,
One of the largest institutions in this State
is the Stark BROS Nurseries and Orchards
company at Louisiana, No, and Rockport
Ill. The trade OF tile firm extends not only
throughout the United States, Canada, Ger
many, France, Italy, Hungary and other
foreign countries, butt has n Number OF GUS
toners both in New Zealand aud Australia
Eighty years ago there came from Ken
lucky to Pike county The late Judge Stark,
then young man fresh from Old Hickory's
New Orleans campaign. He started the
nursery aud planted the first grated or
chard nj the s,ate, having brought the scions
on horseback from Kentucky.
The business has descended from father
to son, and is now conducted by the third
generation, assisted by the fourth. This
iicm has more than loo travelling solicitors,
and employs more people IN its offices than
would be necessary to run q large manufas-
turing concern. The extensive packing
houses of the company are adjaecnt To the
city, connected with the railroad by special
tracks. From these packing houses hun
nreds of carloads of trees are shipped an
nually. The nursery grounds embrace a
number OF farms convenient to the city, and
even extend to Rockport, Ills, where there
is plant of several million trees.
The popularity OF the concern is the
establishment OF large orchards These
orchards in "a states aggregate nearly 30,
GOO acres, and more than 3,500,0O0 trees on
the partnership plan. The firm is also in
terested in about as many more trees on the

Louisiana firms have more travelling men

largely due to the large number of men en-

How to Do It So Tina. They WIN Not

In fence building, one can very easily
spend plenty of money, and if not care
1ul in selecting the kind of fence, and
building it, one will be disappointed in
"a year or two, to find his fence all
sEagged and out of shape. For cheap
ness, durability and neatness, there is
nothing better than either the smooth
wire fence, or woven picket. The end
posts are the secret of success. These
must be solid, as the strain all comes
on them.
s l will try to illustrate my way of
bracing an end post, that holds them
perfectly solid. The plan is original
with me, and I am glad to say that there
is no patent on it. The end post should

it has proved to be a great success as a
social organization, it has never for mo-
nent lost sight Of the fact that it is first
of all a musical organization. During all
these years there has never been a week
when rehearsals have been omitted. That
is a record of which any society of singers
might well be proud, and which few can
equal.
The membership at present consists of
about $50 passive or contributing members
tbirty-five life members, twelve honorary
and fifty-seven active, or singing members
OF this whole number about one-third are
native born Americans.
The officers Of the club ere as follows:
President, Mr.. Frank Claudy; vice presi-
dent, Mr.. John Waldmann; financial secre-
tary. Mr.. r. Brauler; corresponding secre-
tary; Mr.. F. Escherich; treasurer, Mr. Louis
Faber; musical director, Mr.. VIM. Wal
decker.
Mr.. Claudy was for several years the
president of the Saengerbund, but several
years ago he refused to run again for the
office, and he was succeeded by Mr.. Wald-
mann, who served until the last election
Then Mr., Waldman declined to allow his
name to be used again, and then, as If the
society believed in rotation in office, Mr.
Claudy was called upon.
The Germans have the reputation, per-
haps above all others, Of knowing how to
have a good time in life, and the members
of the Saengerbund seem to prove the
truth Of the statement. The house is open

WeILKnown Organization.
SOCIAL SINGING CLUB

Beginning next Monday evening and con-
Saengerbund will give a leap year festi-
val at it's handsome and capac1ous home,
on G street. The festival is designed for
the double purpose of celebrating the open
ing of the new music hall and bowling al
leys and of doing something toward re-
ducing the Indebtedness which this popu-
lar musical organization has contracted
through the addition of these improve
ments.
For weeks past the ladies of the Saen-
gerbund have been active n making ar
engagements for this great event, and there
Is every likelihood of it's being a pro-
nounced success The new music hall Is
being handsomely decorated, and around
the walls pretty little booths have been
erected; there will be instrumental music,
singing and dancing and the various mill
tary well the musical organiZat ionS
Of the city have been invited to attend as
the guests of the Saengerbund. While the
affair will be thoroughly informal it will
differ somewhat from the general run of
fairs in that it will not be open to the pub
lie except by invitation of the members.
A large number of complimentary tickets
have been sent out and it is expected that
the accommodations of the house will be
taxed every evening With a membership
OF nearly 800 1t can readily be seen that
were the doors thrown open to every one
the building would not be near large
would gather.

social organizations in the city. By its
music 1t has added much to the pleasure
of the people and has always been among
the first to offer its services when enter
tainments have been gotten up for the
benefit of objects In which the public was
interested.
The arrangements for the coming festival
have been made by a number of commit
tees, made up of prominent members of the
Saengerbund and of ladies who have en-
joyed the privileges of the house, which is
open to the families of the members. Those

Worms That Live I'm the Eye.

From Tit Bits
This is not so improbable as 1t may seem,
but only people who live in tropical coun-
tres suffer in this way. The worm in
question is mere thread-one of the filaria
and looks like very little piece of YER
micelli: but when examined under a micro
scope, 1t is seen to have a round head and
a pointed tail.
1t has been found in the eyes of Euro
peans who have lived on the Congo and in
similar countries. The eye becomes more
or less inflamed and swollen until the worm
Is either extracted or migrates of its own
accord.
This migration is one of the peculiarities
of the "loa," as it is sometimes called. 1t
goes from one eye to the other, passing
urder the skin at the back of the nose.
1t will be seen in one eye for q day or
two, then 1t will disappear; but few days
later reappear in the other eye.
