These will be in the na- ture of experiment stations such us have been established at various places throughout the country for the practi- cal education of those who desire to study the scientific questions of agri- culture and horticulture. Here will be demonstrated the best system of fer tillzing the soil, of sowing the seeds, of caring for the crops. of harvesting them, and then for handling the same in barns and storehouses. Visitors to the Exposition will be given the op- portunity for instruction in the diseases which infest the realm of Flora and the medicines or surgery that must be employed to combat the dangerous inroads.

A Bit of Good Advice In r,ms.

An Antoinctte Sterling story relates to "The Lost Chord" which she made famous. The song did not appeal to her when the manuscript was sent to her by Sullivan. But Sir Joseph Barn by spent an evening at her house al that time, and in a casual way she re. mark By the way, Arthur Sullivan has sent me manuscript of new song, which he has asked me to sing. You might look at it. Personally, l don't think much of it and am going to return it." Barnby tried 1t over there and then, and before he had gone half through 1t he stopped and said: "'Going to return it. did you say? 1t Is wonderful-an inspiration. Certain ly, tell him you will sing it. It Is bound to make both you and him." Mime. Sterling always thanked the fates for bringing Barnby to her house that night.-London Chronicle.

The Glorious News.
 We are all ready to carry good news to our fellow men. After Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo a messenger start ed for the Russian capital to tell the cZar that his national enemy was over- thrown. On and on he went. While the horses were being saddled at the different taverns he would sleep; then into his saddle and on. When he rush. ed into the Petersburg palace the czar was at dinner. But, undaunted, he car ried the good news into the royal ban quet hall, and then, after telling the news, he dropped at the feet of the ear and fell into a slumber from which no one could rouse him. If a cZar's soldier would be so anxious to tell his chief of an earthly victory shall we not be anxious, like the Emmaus disciples, to tell all the world of a heavenly victory? From this church embowered with flowers, where we have seen the risen Christ in vision and heard him in song and sermon, shall we not carry the news every where? The news! Aye, tell the glo- rious news that Jesus has risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept.
 But there is one other fact that l would impress upon your thoughts in this Easter afternoon revelation. AS soon as Christ revealed himself unto his two disciples he vanished out of their sight. If we do not at once re- ceive Christ when he reveals himself, in all probability we shall never re- ceive him at all. One moment he is here, the next he is gone forever. Some of us in our past lives know when we saw him. We know that there was a certain moment of cer- tain service when Jesus came to us and said, Here am l." and if we had

TICKETS SELLING
FOR VULCAN GAME
CROWD WILL SEE BASEBALL
WEDNESDAY, WHEN NEW YORK
AND BIRMINGHAM PLAYS FOR
BENEFIT OF FUND.

ARRANGEMENTS for the benefit game to
be played wednesday for the Vulcan
fund are being rapidly completed and
tickets are selling rapidly. This promises
to be the most largely attended game OF
the early part of the season
Tickets for the game have been placed
in several cigar stands, soda water foun-
tains, and with the members of the Com
mercial club, and 1t is impossible to find
out how many tickets have been disposed
of, but the demand has been good at all
places, and 1t looks as If at least $1,000
will be cleared for the fund.
The showing made by Birmingham yes
terday against the New York team will
have material effect on the size OF the
crowd Wednesday, as the people Will not
EXPECT to see such one sided game as
they had thought. The fact that Birming-
ham played the visitors a comparatively
close game and in fact lead In the score
for several innings shows that the local
team is all right.
BY Monday several more of the Biz
mingham players will be here, and the
team will be in even better condition to
face the Giants. The plan to pitch Nc
Gininty, II II is possible, has proven quite
an interesting feature of the game.
McGinnity Is known as the Iron Man
and the idea was that he should pitch
this game which is for the benefit of Biz
minghams iron man.

NOT JOE WHEELER.
General Is Too Wise to BE Caught
Flowing.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
II read the other day." said a veteran
of the war between the states, that
when General Wheeler returned to his
Alabama home after the war was over
with the north he was one day sought
out by some one who wanted something
at his hands, and found the general in
field blowing, with his regulation uni
form on and too busy to attend to any
thing on the outside, because he must get
his blowing done. This reminds me of
one time l went to see a play at one Of
the theatres, in which continental SOL
der has a part, and when he came on
the stage he was armed with a Spring
field of the most modern style.
Talk about General Wheeler logged
out in a long tailed double breasted con-
federate gray coat with brass buttons
at intervals, and half-buried in thigh
boots, blowing In the heat of a June day,
even in North Alabama. Isn't that too
ridiculous? AS to the general ever hav-
ing taken job as conductor on a one
mule pillow Is concerned, he isn't built that
way. He would just naturally have gone
out and in week hunted up some job at
which he would make enough in a day to
pay for blowing hundred acres.
IF you don't think the general can turn
his talents to good account just read his
expert utterances on the war in the east.
wherein he takes command on one side
one day and the other side the next, and
the third day helps Hobson out with the
naval side of the question, putting in the
balance of the week with the legal points
In the controversy. Oh, no, you don't
catch General Wheeler blowing"

and they have a great desire to yisn

any funds. but the lads talked so much
about their ambition that wager was
posted that they could not work their
way Ito New York. starting without
penny.
The boys left their homie on the night of
November %. walking the cross ties. They
visited San Antonio, Galveston and other
points in Texas, going then to New Or
leans, where they were cared for few
days by the Mexican CONSUL From New
Orleans they went to Mobile, coming to
Birmingham from that place. When they
arrived here they did not have a cent.
Up to last night they had not found an
agent Of the Mexican government in Bir-i
mingham, nor even a Mexican family.

any kind of work to make a living They
expect to pick up few dollars in Biz

ney to the nations capital, and thence
to Gotham. They will stop over in At
lanta for few days.

of work" said Ontiferos. I'VE have
shoveled coal and helped on freight trains
in order to get to ride. It has been n
long time since we left home, because
it was necessary at times to stop and
work to get money to travel on. The
question of food has been serious at
times. We have eaten apples In the
orchards, and once or twice we were
forced to kill birds and roast them over
the fires we kindled to satisfy our hun
ger"
Under the terms of the wager, the boys
must be in New York by May 2. They
can remain in New York as long as they
please, when once there.
They will take a steamer from New
York when they tire of sight seeing,

favors a system under which two silver
dollars shall be equal to- one gold dollar.
Otherwise, 1t is said the export of pro-

is believed that the opinion of the United
