The value of bees to fruit growers can
scarcely be overestimated. Some years ago
a place was leased to tenant who kept a
few colonies of bees. In one corner of the
yard was large and thrifty looking apple
tree that always bore an abundance Of
blossoms, but no fruit. A number of col
onies of bees were placed underneath this
tree, and, much to the surprise of the own
er of the place, the tree was loaded with
extremely fine apples, something that had
never occurred before within the memory
of the man who had owned the place for
25 years. The next season the bees were
distributed under trees that had not been
in the habit of bearing freely. The most
surprising results followed the trees being
full of very fine specimens of fruit. II the
blossoms on an APPLE plum or pear tree
are covered up and the bees are kept away
from them until the blossoming season is
past, there will be no fruit This has been
tested again and again. New York Led

Late Dining
Injurious to Health.
Causes Dyspepsia, Wakeful-
ness and Insomnia.

The habit of dining out at night after
concerts and theatres, or at balls, brings
about a good deal of suffering. The
stomach is overloaded without the nee
essary activity to aid the digestion. The
tossing about at night and sleeplessness
are the immediate results. Dyspepsia
and indigestion are sure to follow in its
course.
One glassfui Of Johann Hof's Malt
Extract taken before retiring will re-
move all this treuble 1t will aid
the proper assimilation of the food
and produce healthy, sound sleep.
Johann Hoff's Malt Extract should also
be taken during the day with every
meal, particularly by week and debili-
tated people and children who lack the
necessary power to digest solid food.
The Genuine Johann Hoff's Malt Ex-
tract has remarkable nutritious action,
both tonic and invigorating, and has
proved to be of great value in chronic
diseases, producing contActions of the

GUNS USED BY SOLDIERS.
Description of the Krag-Jorgensen and
the Lee Rifles.

Description of the Krag-JOrgensen and
the Lee Rifles.
Since 1890 the regulation rifle of the
United States army, supplanting the for
mer weapon, theSpringfield rifle, has been
the Krag -Jorgensen magazine rife. 1t
was adopted upon the recommendation of
board composed of Lieutenant Colonels
r. II. Hull and j. P Farley Major II. d.
Freeman and Captains S. e. Blount and
George S. Anderson. The result of one of
the tests in competition with other weap-
ons follows;
For accurate aim the Lee showed 40
shots in two minutes the Krag-Jorgensen
80, the Springfield No. /, 36, and the
Springfield No. 2, 80. In the firing at will
for one minute the results were as follows:
Lee, 2S; Krag -Jorgensen, 28; Springfield
No /, "a and Springfield No. 2, II shots.
Upon the results of the tests, approved
by General Schofeld, the general COM
manding the army, the Krag -Jorgensen
was adopted. 1t has a magazine chamber
for five cartridges, which can be dropped
by the simple pull of bolt. 1t is possible
to load single cartridges and fire one after
another, reserving those in the magazine
for time of need, when the five shots can
be fired without pausing to reload. The
cartridges are of an alloy OF tin and lead
in a steel case In passing through flesh
and bone or any solid substance they make
only small wound, but in semifuid mat
ter they explode, so that a man shot in the
intestines or brain is practically blown to
pieces. The reason for this property of the
bullets has never been satisfactorily ex-
planned
The gun the marines are armed with is
the Lee rifle, a magazine gun, with a cali
ber of 1886 inches. Its range for point
blank firing is between 600 and ZOO yards.
Smokeless powder is used with it, and a
hardened lead bullet, which has copper
jacket plated with tin. The gun has a
magazine for five cartridges, which are
| put in at once, being fastened together
with metal clip. The gun can be used
| for firing and reloadipg after each shot or
the five shots can be fired in quick success
sion, and the gun reloaded with five more
| while it is at the shoulder. The chief adj
vantage claimed for it is that the cartridge
| chamber can be opened by a straight pull
and without turning up the gun. The
| gun without the bayonet is almost four
| feet long and weighs eightpounds and six
ounces. The bayonet adds about eight
inches to the length and pound to the
weight The cartridge is about three
inches long, and 1S0 rounds weigh eight
pounds six ounces.-New York Tribune

THE WORCESTER SPY. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER o 1898
MY GLEN.

I know a retreat where blackberries sweet
Hang low on a ruined wall,
And partridge berries play hide and seek
At the foot Of the pine trees tall
Just out through the brush, where the robin
and thrush
Ger their nests carol praises TO God,
You may see where grows in stately repose
Americas own goldenrod
Here fairies dance when the moonheams
.glatte
And lure me from mortals away
Eown the mossy lane where they hold their
reign
And fan would linger for aye,
When day has begun, comes the beautiful sun
For one hurried glimpse Of the dell
That through sorrow and pain until day
dawns again
In his mind the bright picture may dwell.
With the coming of spring, when the green
forests ring
With the glad, happy notes of the birds
In the beautiful glade, with its wide spread
ing shade,
Are whispered the sweetest of words.
In the warm summer days, when orpheus
plays
On the thousand stringed Tyre Of the gods,
We loiter and dream on the banks of the
stream
And keep time with our angling rods.
But I'll tell you not where to seek this spot,
With all natures bright beauty in store,
For there mortals would HE. then the fairies
would fly,
And my glen would be mine no more,

The First Use of Field Music.

Gustave Kobbe writes an article on
r'The Trumpet in Camp and Battle" for
The Century Mr.. Kobbe says:
The first use Of field music of which we
have absolutely authentic information was
at the battle of Bouvines, that village Of
French Flanders where the French have
won no fewer than three victories-Philip
Augustus debating Otto " of Germany
there in 1914, Philip of Valois defeating
the English there in 1340, while In 1894
the French defeated the Austrians at the
same place. 1t was at Bouyines in 1914
that trumpets sounded the signal for the
victorious French charge the first authen-
tic instance Of q command given by a
trumpet call.
