Bee's Stinj Cures Rheumatism.
If you have rheumatism n. healthy
swarm of bees can cure you. They -will
sting the disease out of your body. The
bee cure has been known for some
time , but it Isu't always a successful
medicine.
The latest report of success is given
iu the American. Bee Journal by Elder
Daniel "Wliitmer. lie says :
"I believe that bee poison , "with some
people , is a good-remedy ; it has proved
a bonanza aud antidote to the writer for
many years.
"Prior to uiy entering the bee in
dustry I had been a victim of the dis
ease in its different forms , attacking
the limbs and other portions of the
Lody. Finally , by overwork and man
ual labor , Iwas attacked Avith sciatic
rheumatism , resulting in paralysis of
the back , thighs , kidneys , bladder , etc. ,
and was under the doctor's care and
confined to my bed and room for tkree
months.
"Under the doctor's treatment I be
came convalescent , but unable to per
form manual labor ou the farm. As
jlet the great numbness in my limbs
was so present that in my invalid con
dition 1 chose apiculture as a pursuit
to give me a livelihood.
"One day in handling a colony of bees
J became somewhat careless in the
manipulation and irritated the bees to
the extent that they rushed out of the
liive and stung me desperately in the
iiumb parts. If I had no feeling before ,
it was evident I had then , for I just
danced as I never did before , for I don't
believe in it.
* 'In twenty-four hours I was a well
man , so far as rheumatism was con
cerned , numbness all gone. "

DOCTOR IS DRIVEN INSANE.
Experience in a Madhouse Dethrones
His Bcason.
A celebrated Scotch physician tells a
story of a madhouse doctor whose
presence of mind alone saved his life :
"A great friend of mine was for a
considerable time the medical sup
erintendent of a lunatic asylum near
Glasgow. One night In making his
customary rounds he. had occasion to
visit the patients in the kitchen , who
were preparing the dinner. There were
seven of. them , all big , sturdy fellows
who were believed to be harmless. The
keeper only looked in upon them now
and again , feeling that his constant
presence , was unnecessary.
"The doctor unlocked the iron-barred
door of the kitchen and went in among
the. lunatics. There were flye large
boilers containing scalding water ready
for making the day's dinner for the
patients.
"One. of the , lunatics , pointed at the
boilers full of hot water and laying his
hand upon the doctor's shoulder , said ,
'Doctor , you'll make a fine , pot of broth , '
and the. words had no sooner been ut
tered than the other six : madmen shout
ed in a voice of delight , 'Just the thing ! '
and , seizing the doctor , were in the very
act of putting him into , one of the large
boilers of scalding water when the doc
tor had the presence of mind to say , but
not a second too soon :
" 'Capital broth , but It would ta'ste
better if I took my clothes off. '
"The madmen with a yell of delight
said 'Yesaud the. doctor asked them
to wait a moment while he went and
took his clothes off , but as soon as he
got out of the kitchen he turned the key
in the door and ordered the keeper to
see to the lunatics being put undei
restraint.
"The. doctor's presence of mind saved
him , it is true , from a terrible death ,
but he died shortly after raving mad.
The experience had destroyed his
reason. "
The Religious "Slot Machine/ *
In the Adirondack Mountains , at a
place of popular resort , there is a
chapel where the contributions are
often liberal in the summer season ,
but where the contributions still chief
ly consist , as far as bulk goes , of small
coins. The rector of this church , whc
Is a man of dignified and rninisteriaJ
appearance , Is accustomed to go with
the Sunday offering to one of the ho
tels , and receive a check for the amount
of it
One Monday morning he was countIng -
Ing the money at the desk of the note !
cashier , and was at that momenl
scraping together the nickels and cop
pers , which were in abundant supply
Just then a bell-boy came up who
seemed to have something on his wind.
"What is it , my little man ? " asked
the rector , in his most honeyed tone.
"Beg pardon , sir , " said the boy , "but
are you the man what runs the slot-
machine downstairs ? "
The boy could never understand why
all the people , including the rector ,
laughed at him. The laugh was really
on the Sunday contributors to the
church funds. Many clergymen , we
have no doubt , will sympathize with
this supposed proprietor of the slot
machine.
Clock Worked by a Geyser.
One of the most curious clocks In
the world is that which Amos Lane , of
Amidee , Nev. , constructed some time
ago. The machinery , which is notliing
but a. face , hands and lever , is connect
ed with a geyser , which shoots out au
immense column of hot water every
thirty-eight seconds. This spouting
never varies to the tenth of a second ,
and therefore a clock properly attached
to it cannot fail to keep correct time.
Uvery time the water spouts up it
strikes the lever and moves the hands
forward thirty-eight seconds.

The John M. Smyth Co. Have No
Agents.
The AveH-merited popularity of the
great mail order establishment of the
John M. Smyth Co. of Chicago scorns to
have induced unscrupulous parties to go
through the country and falsely represent
themselves as sales agents for this house.
By thus representing themselves they
hare succeeded in imposing upon many
by selling goods and takiug cash and
notes from victims who actually believed
they were purchasing goods from the
representatives of the firm direct. The
John M. Smyth Co. have no agents and
denounce as frauds all parties traveling
through the country and claiming to rep
resent the firm. The public should be on
the lookout for such impostors.

Consumption
"My mother was troubled
with consumption for many
years. At last sue was given
up to die. A ncignbor told her
not to give up but try Aycr's
Cherry Pectoral. She did so
and was speedily cured , and is
now in the enjoyment of good
health. " D. P. Jolly.

Cures
Hard Coughs
No matter how hard your
cough is or how long you have
had it , Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
is the best thing you could
possibly take. But it's too
risky to wait until you have
consumption , for sometimes it's
impossible to cure this disease.
If you are coughing today ,
don't wait until tomorrow , but
get a bottle of Cherry Pec
toral at once and be relieved.
It strengthens weak lungs.
