Sheep Eat Bottle Trees.

During the prolonged drought that
has devastated large areas OF Queens
land, a few squatters have been able
to save remnant Of their fiocks and
herds by feeding them on bottle trees,
The scientific name of this tree ia
sterculia, but its popular name gives
an idea Of its shape. It is like a
soda water bottle, magnified to o
height Of four or five feet. The bull
bous part contains mucilaginous
substance, which is wholesome and nu-
tritious to those who have acquired
its taste. 1t was pathetic to see the
thirsty sheep gather around a bottle
tree, pick up the chips, chew them
and extract all possible moisture.

rransyaal Postage stamps.

The Transvaal government has ID
sued a set Of postage stamps, which
are in great demand by collectors.
There are ten varities, each of differ
ent color, ranging in price from one
cent to $780, All Of the stamps bear
the head Of King Edward, fa9sng to
the left, in an oval within a finely
beaded frame, in gray black. Above
the head is a crown. and at the foot
the word "Transvaal." The one-cent
stamps are a bluish-green, and the
colors of the othsrs range from scar
let to orange, olive green and purple.
The British colonial ONCE, meantime,
is considering a new coat-of-arms de-
sign by Lockwood Kipling, father of
the poet and novelist, for the new
Orange River colony, which was for
merly the Orange Free State. The
coat-ofarms consists of a plain heral'
die shield bearing an orange'tree, and
above 1t Tudor rose; on the ground
are waved lines, the symbol Of water,
typifying the name Bloemfontein
Two springboks support the shield.

The benefits that will undoubtedly
result to farmers from the recent incor-
poratlon Of the International Harvester
Company which took over the business
Of the five leading harvester manufac-
turers have probably not been consid-
cred by large portion of the farming
community.
The economical necessity Of consol-
ldation Of the interests Of manufacture
ers and those of their farmer custom
ers must be apparent to any one who
understands the present situation.
The increased and increasing cost Of
material, manufacturing and selling
the latter in consequence of extreme
and bitter competition between manu-
facturers and their several selling agents
has made the business improbable.
The two alternatives left for the
manufacturers were either the increas-
ing of the prices OF machines or the re-
duction of the cest Of manufacture and
sales. The latter could only be accom-
plished by concentrating the business
in one company.
AS can readily be seen, the forming
Of the new company was not n stock
jobbing operation but centering Of
mutual interests. There is no watered
stock; the capitalization Is conserva-
tive and represented by actual and tan
gible assets. There is no stock offered
to the public, 1t having all been sub.
scribed and paid for by the manufac-
turers and their associates.
The management Of the International
Harvester Company is In the hands of
well known, experienced men.
The officers are: President, Cyrus II.
Mccormick; Chairman Executive Com.
mittee, Charles Deerlng; Chairman III.
nance Committee, George w. Perkins,
Vice-Presidents Harold r. Mccormick
James Deering, VIM. II. Jones and John
j. Glessner; Secretary and Treasurer,
Richard F. Howe. The members Of the
Board Of Directors are as follows: Cy.
rus Bentley, William Deering, Charles
Deering, James Deerlng, Eldridge NJ.
Fowler, q. H. Gary, John ]. Glessner,
Richard f. Howe, Abram NJ. Hyatt,
William II. Jones, Cyrus H. McCor.
mick, Harold F. Mccormick, George
w. Perkins, Norman B. Ream, Leslie
N. Ward, Paul ID. Cravath.
The International Harvester Com.
pany owns five Of the largest harvester
plants In existence, the Champion,
Deering, Mccormick, Milwaukee and
Plano-plants that have been produc-
ing nearly or quite 90 per cent. of the
harvesting machines Of the world.
1t also owns timber and coal lands,
blast furnaces and a steel plant; II has
a new factory in the process of con.
structIon In Canada.
1t is believed that the cost Of produc-
ing grain, grass and corn harvesting
machines will be so reduced that the
present low prices can be continued
and that consequently the results can
not be otherwise than beneficial to the
farmer, To maintain the present prices
Of these machines means to continue
and increase the development Of the
agriculture OF the world, for no one
cause has contributed or can contrib
ute more to this development than the
cheapness Of machines for harvesting
grains.

carbon bisulphid were secured. Wads
of cotton, varying in size from hens

thrust into every burrow that opened
on the surface. The holes were se-

were the holes opened by their occu-

stroyed by second dose. Wherever
a burrow is found about any building

The strongest bees are put on duty
for guards, it is these guard bees that
dart out at you. With the italian bee
pr the milder Cyprian, If you do not
,Hotice them they will merely buzz near
your face a moment and leave you.
But often the cross black bees will
come at you with the intention of
stinging you, especially IL there is rain
brewing, or they are short of resin in
the hive, or your clothes are perfumed
with some scent they dislike, tobacco,
for instance, On account Of these
guard bees, and the keen scent they
employ to single out enemies--as they
know every bee of their own house by
this scent as well as sight-it is almost
impossible for strange bees to pass
them into the. hive. But the robber
bees do not come single handed, they
come when the worker bees are far
afeld, and killing the guard and nurses
barring their way, they buzz in and
clean out the hive. Sometimes the
worker bees stay at home to resist the
attacks and the strongest side is victor,
but It usually ends In the demolition
OF the colony aud the fighting, robbing
spirit spreads to other colonies. 1t is
strange about bees In this line; IL they
hnd a starving bee they win feed and
care for II tenderly, but in case OF
weak colony they are almost sure to
sneak in and steal their small store.
They are very much like nations Of
human kind in this respect.
Ants and those dy bees which look
so much like a bee that even bees
are sometimes deceived by them, they
usually rid themselves Of. But the bee
Keeper must keep a close watch. Ants
are bad in this country, and most bee
stands are made with tapering legs and
set In cans or crooks of water. Last
winter | saw a fine stand Of bees
brought to starvation because the
owner neglected setting the stand legs
"a water. In every hive the bees
starved before half the winter was
over, and all on account OF the fall in
Avaus OF ants.

Child Slavery in
Mills of the South.

Boys and girls from the age of six
years and upward are employed. They
usually work from six o'clock in the
morning until seven at night. At noon
! saw them squat on the floor and de-
YOUR their food which consisted
mostly of corn bread and bacon. These
weaZened pigmies munched in silence
ad then toppled over in sleep on the
floor In all the abandon of babyhood.
When it came time to go to work the
foreman marched through the groups
shaking the sleepers, shouting in
their ears, lifting them to their feet,
and, in a few instances, kicking the
delinquents into wakefulness. From
a quarter to one until seven o'clock
they worked without respite or rest.
These toddlers, | saw for the most
part did but one thing-they watched
the flying spindles on frame twenty
feet long and tied the broken threads.
They could not sit at their tasks; back
and forth they paced, watching with
.inanimate, dull look the flying
spindles. The noise of the machinery
and the constant looking at the fly
ing wheels reduce nervous sensation

HUSBAND IN NAME ONLY.
Curious Contract Between Couple Re.
Gently Made in Berlin.

Here is a curious advertisement
which recently appeared in a Berlin
paper: "A distinguished lady desires
to marry genuine count; will pay
well for the title"
A few days after 1t appeared a
genuine count called on the "distin.
guished lady" who was a divorced
actress, and told her that, if they
could agree as to terms, he would be
most happy to marry her. He admit.
ted that his income was only 5000 a
year, and that, therefore, he was con.
stantly in need of money.
In few minutes the two came to
an agreement, and a contract was
signed. The count will receive $500
on the day of the wedding, and as
soon as he receives it he will leave
his wife and never again approach
her. Moreover, he pledges himself to
give his wife, within two months after
their marriage ample cause for pro.
curing divorce from him, and she in
turn promises to pay him $4,000 on
the day when the divorce is granted.
This singular contract was drawn
by lawyer, whose office is in the
Friedrichstrasse, and is said to be per.
fectly valid.

Shah as Shopkeeoer.

When a certain late shah of Per
sia became temporarily embarrassed
for money he had quite a unique meth
cd of filling his purse. He would &c
to the market, where, after examin.
ing the shops, he would select one
and turning to the proprietor woult
say: will you take me In as a part
ner in your business for the day?'
The offer was, of course, eagerly ac
cepted. The shah would take his seat
near the shop entrance, and say to
his courtiers, whom he always tool
with him on these occasions: Now
I'm the salesman. Who'll buy?" Tho
latter, not daring to refuse the offers
of the royal merchant, set about clear.
ing the shop of its contents, paying
sometimes $3.50 for goods that were
not worth $50. No one was allowed
to beat down prices or to leave the
place without making purchases
When everything was sold the shah
had list Of the cost price of each
article made out, and Loyalty shared
with the shopkeeper the amount OF
the profit realized.-Pearson' Weekly

Chicago Men Not Gallant.

The lack of gallantry on the part OF
Chicagos men was never so forcibly
illustrated as in the case OF sweet
Beulah Corley, who had the misfor.
tune to be found drunk in a doorway,
writes Roswell Field in the Chicago
Evening Post. When she was fined by
the judge, and had no money to save
her from the bridewell, she appealed
to the spectators, offering to marry
any man who would pay her fine and
save her from further disgrace. And
in this whole city there was none to
heed her cry. 1t Is true that most men
would shrink from hasty promise to
love and cherish young woman who
leaped into fame by decorating a door
way while in condition of intoxica-
tion, but we dare say the knights OF
old would have responded chivalrously
to the invitation. Still, at the prevail
ing prices for meat and coal. Beulah
must not be surprised that gallantry
has its limits. We hope by this time
that the fine has been paid, without
the added incumbranco, and that she
will 20 and sin no more.
