ROYAL WORCESTER CORSET CO. Worcester, Naas. A Benefit to Barmen. The benefits that trill undoubtedly result to farmers from the recent Incor poration of tbe International Harvester Company which took over tbe business of tbe five leading harvester manufac turers have probably not been consid ered by a large portion of tbe farming community. Tbe economical necessity of a consol idation of tbe Interests of manufactur ers and those of tbeir 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 tbeir several selling agents —has made tbe buslbess unprofitable. The two alternatives left for tbe manufacturers were either tbe Increas ing of tbe prices of machines or the re duction of tbe cost of manufacture and sales. Tbe latter could only be accom plished by concentrating tbe business In one company. As can readily be seen, tbe forming of the new company was not a stock jobbing operation but a centering of mutual Interests. There Is no watered stock; tbe capitalisation Is conserva tive and represented by actual and tan gible assets. There Is no stock offered to tbe public, It having all been sub scribed and paid for by tbe manufac turers and tbeir associates. Tbe management of tbe International Harvester Company Is In tbe bands of well known, experienced men. The ofilcers are: President, Cyrus H. McCormick; Chairman Executive Com mittee, Charles Deering; Chairman Fi nance Committee, George W. Perkins; Vice-Presidents, Harold F. McCormick, .Tames Deering, Wm. H. Jones and John J. Glessner; Secretary and Treasurer, Richard F. Howe. The members of tbe Board of Directors are as follows: Cy rus Bentley, William Deering, Charles Deering, James Deering, Eldridge M. Fowler, B. H. Gary, John J. Gleaner, Richard F. Howe, Abram M. Hyatt, William H. Jones, Cyrus H. McCor mick, Harold F. McCormick, George W. Perkina, Norman B. Beam, Leslie N. Ward, Paul D. Cravatb. The International Harvester Com pany owns five of the largest harvester plants In existence, tbe Champion, Deering, McCormick, Milwaukee and Plano—plants that have been produc ing nearly or quite 90 per cent, of tbe harvesting machines of tbe world. It also owns timber and coal lands, blast furnaces and a steel plant; It ha* a new factory In tbe process of con struction In Canada. It fa believed that tbe cost of produc ing groin, grass and corn harvesting machines will be so reduced that tbe present low prices can be continued, and that consequently tbe results can not be otherwise than beneficial to tbe farmer. To maintain tbe present prices of these machines means to continue and Increase tbe development of the! agriculture of tbe world, for no ont cause baa contributed or can contrib ute more to this development than tbe cheapness of machines for harvesting grains. Transvaal Postage Stamps. The Transvaal government baa Is sued a set of postage stamps, which are In great demand by collectors. There are ten varitles, each of a differ ent color, ranging In price from one cent to 92-60. AH of tbe stamps bear the head of King Edward, facing to the left, In an oval within a finely beaded frame, In gray black. Above the bead la a crown, and at tbe foot the word "Transvaal." The one-cent stamps are a bluish-green, and the colors of the others range from scar let to orange, olive green and purple. The British colonial office, meantime, la 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. Tbe coat-of-arma consists of a plain heral dic shield bearing an orange-tree, and above it a Tudor rose; on the ground are waved lines, the symbol of water, typifying tbe name Bloemfontein. Two springboks support the shield. Sheep Eat Bottle Trees. During the prolonged drought that has devastated large areas of Queens land, a few squatters have been able to save a remnant of their flocks and herds by feeding them on bottle trees. The scientific name of this tree is sterculla, but its popular name gives an Idea of its shape. It Is like a soda water bottle, magnified to a height of four or five feet. The bul bous part contains a mucilaginous substance, which la wholesome and nu tritious to those who have acquired its taste. It was pathetic to see the thirsty sheep gather around a bottle tree, pick up the chips, chew them and extract all possible moisture. PATIENCE.

A special from Birmingham, Ala., says: While rounding a curve on a high embankment near Berry, Ala., at 9:30 o’clock Monday morning the en gine and four cars of an excursion train on the Southern railway leaped from the track and rolled over and over, smashing the coaches into kind ling wood and causing the instant death of> thirty persons and the injur; "of elghty-one others. Physicians say at least twenty-nine of the Injured can not Mve. With the exception of H. M. Dudley, trainmaster of the Southern railway living at Birmingham; J. W. Cook, en gineer, and Roscoe Shelby, of Colum bus, Miss., and Mrs. Marie Cox, all the dead and Injured are negroes who had taken advantage of excursion rates from points In Mississippi to Birming ham. The dead whites are: H. M. Dud ley, trainmaster of the Southern rail way, Birmingham, Ala.; J. W. Crook, engineer; Roescoe Shelby, Columbus, Miss. The dead negroes are; Jim Smith Iaola; Lillie Martin and child, Colum bus, Miss.; Charley Carp, Columbus, Miss.; Ezel Patterson, West Polht, Miss.; 'Ed Clarke, Columbus, Miss.; Nute Green, Columbus, Miss.; Willie Thompson, Columbus, Miss.; twenty dead whose bodies have not been iden tilled. Crushed Like Egg Shells. When the wreck occurred the train was running at a rate of 30 miles an hour, and Just started around a curve on top of a 60-foot embankment. With out warning the tender of the engine suddenly left the track, jerking the engine and the first four cars with it There were ten cars to the excursion train, but the fourth broke loose from the fifth and with the heavy engine plunged down the steep Incline. The cars, which were packed with passen gers, turned completely over several times and were crushed like egg shells, killing and crippling the In mates. Persons who have returned from the scene of the wreck say It Is Indescribable. The dead bodies of the negroes were scattered in every direc tion and the moans and appeals fot help from the wounded were heart rending. As soon as the accident was report ed to the officials of the road, wreck ing train*, carrying physicians, were hurried from Columbos, Miss., and Birmingham, and everything possible done to alleviate tbe sufferings of the Injured.
