ISSUING ADVERTISING MATTER.

The Illinois Central railroad,
through Its department of immigra-
ton, is preparing new booklet, en-
titled "The Unreclaimed Lands OF
Louisiana, the matter being compii-
ed by Capt. j. F. Merry, general Inn
migration agent.
Capt. Merry will address farm
ers' convention at Covington, Ten
nessee, on the afternoon of May
20, speaking on Diversified Farm
ing" a subject which is arousing gen
,eral interest among the southern
planters and agriculturists of today.
The farmers in Tennessee have been
engaged almost exclusively in cotton
growing, and they now want to take
,up dairying and gardening, for which
tthe soil of that section is particular
nv adapted. Capt. Merry has been
called upon several times during the
mast year to speak to southeners re
eearding the cultivation of the lane
and the ACCESSIBILITY of changing the
crop rotation, dtyersifying the farm
work as much as possible. and sat
asfactory results have been noted IL
many localities where such method'
lkaEe been pursued.

THE BEES STING.
An Ugly Weapon Something Ike
Three Bladsd Sword.

An Ugly Weapon Something Like q
Three Bladsd Sword.
The bees sting is made up of three
separate lances, each With q barbed
edge and each capable of being thrust
forward independently of the others.
The central and broader lance has a
hollow face furnished at each side
with rail or beading, which runs its
whole length. On the back Of each Of
the other two .ances there is longi-
tudinal groove, and into these grooves
fit the raised headings of the central
lancet
Thus the sting is like sword with
three blades-united, but sliding upon
one another-the barbed points Of
which continue to advance alternately
into the wound, going ever deeper and
deeper of their own malice afore-
thought after the initial thrust is
made. 1t Is n device of war COM
pared to which the explosive bullet Ia
but clumsy brutality. Yet this is not
al.
To make its death dealing powers
doubly sure this thorough minded anna
zon must fill the haft of her triple
blade with a subtle poison and so con-
triYe its sliding mechanism that the
same impulse which drives the points
successfully forward drenches the
whole weapon with fatal juice

GRAFT IN RUSSIA.
Removing the Difficulties In an Army
Officers rransfer

Removing the Difficulties In an Army
Officers Transfer.
A young Russian officer wished to be
transferred to another regiment and
took his request in person to one of
the lights of the Russian general staff.
That powerful officer shook his head
and declared the matter very difficult
to arrange-almost impossible. Then
his glance fell suddenly upon the shoes
OF the lieutenant. To the amazement
OF his visitor. the senior officer said
that the lieutenant's shoes We're not
nearly good enough for an officer and
that he would strongly advise him to
buy new shoes of shoemaker whose
address he gave. Then, telling his WIS.,
itor to return in eight days, he dis
missed him. The latter was clever
enough to realize that he could not re-
turn without the new shoes, so he hur-
riel to the shoemaker. On hearing
who had sent him the shoemaker said
that the lieutenant could have the
shoes in five days for the sum OF $3.50.
Much astonished, the officer went to a
comrade for advice. He was told to
pay half Of this sum at once and the
rest when his shoes were finished.
This the officer did, and, wearing his
new boots, he duly kept his appoint
ment with the general staff officer and
learned to his joy that oil the grave
difficulties" in the way Of his transfer

Are Bent Without Injury.

Are Bent Without Injury.
Saxhorns, SO called after a famous
Belgian family named Sax, who in
vented and introduced these instru-
ments about the middle Of the last cel,-
fury, are the mainstay of all modern
brass bands. They are manufactured
tn%many different sizes, from high So
prano to the huge contrabass or bonn
pardon, and the most important of the
lot Is the euphonium, which supplanted
the now obsolete "serpents'' and ophi-
cleides. The tallcst saxhorn ever made
stands eight feet high and contains
more than forty feet of tubing.
The advantage of seamless or ..solid
drawn" tubes for such instruments as
trombones and horns is considerable,
since, no matter how good the join
may be, sooner or later the action of
the breath will wear away the solder.

at one time very difficult, but, thanks

ton Is now both safe and simple. The
tube Is first washed out with a chem

plumbers to prevent solder from nd

lead poured in from ladle. Thus sup

and safely bent to the required shape.
