ATTACKED BY BKEs.-A few DAYS since
Samuel W. Passmore, of East Noting
ham, took his family on a visit to his
brother Georges, at Rising Sun. While
there, his little son, about two years old,
ventured too near hive of bees In the
garden, when a large number Of the bees
made an attack on the child, singing
him on the head, face, neck and body
very seriously. The screams of the little
fellow soon brought the parents to the
spot, aud while they were engaged in
getting him away from the hive the beea
stung them severely. A fatal result
might have followed the severe
stinging the child received, had II
not been for the presence Of
mind Of George u. Passmore who, as
coon as the condition Of affairs WAS per
ceiSed set about preparing a cup of car
bouate of soda (baking soda) and water
with which he Immediately aud thorough
y washed the child wherever n bee stini
had been received. This had the desirei
effect OF counteractlng the sting poison
and no swelling occurred and the chill
recovered Ia short time. This cas-
shows, first, the Importance Of care II
keeping children away from bee enclo
sures, ard secondly the efficacy of sod
when quickly applied to any stlngs tina
may be received from bees. - Oxford Press
