How to be Prosperous.

Much good advice has been given in the
newspapers and elsewhere on methods Of
retrenchlng personal expenditures in these
hard times. Some persons begin TO re-
trench by cutting off their subscriptions 10
religious and benevolent purposes others
by advising a reduction Of expenditure for
education still others recommend that peo-
pie use less sweetening and many more
that we wear the old clothes, eat less meat
and save the bread as far as possible. How
few realize that our expenditures for tobac-
CO are more than for bread and that the
money paid for our liquors would buy all
the meat and bread we would eat or all the
cotton and wooden goods and all the boots
and shoes we wear, and still leave enough
money to pay for our schools, our charities
and our contributions for missions. The
follow ing table gives the comparative figures
of the money spent yearly by our people for
different objects:
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1885-10-15

----Liquor, $s50,0OO.OOO.
---Tobacco, 5000 ,009. 900.
$505, 100000.
Meat, 1906, 100000.
----Iron and steel. 1920. 900 900.
----Woolen goods, S237 100000.
---Sawed lumber, 1888 100000.
--Boots and shoes, Sl96, ,0OO, 900.
Sugar and molasses, Sl55 100000.
Public education, $S5 100000.
Christian missions, home and foreign, $5,-
100000.
If our people could be persuaded to aban-
don the use Of liquors for the next year, and
distribute the amount saved among the ten
million of families in this country, every
family would receive $S5 to spend for bread
meat, shoes, clothing, etc. Every indus
try would start up as if by magic, employ
ments for working men would multiply
on every hand, wages would advance, thous-
ands of miserable homes would be made
happy, and the country would leap forward
to unexampled prosperity.

Bee Stings.

Bees do not sting except in self-defense,
writes correspondent of the New Eogland
Farmer. The beekeeper goes from hive to
hive, removes the covers, admits the light,
very unwelcome to the bees, takes apart the
brood nest, finds the queen, takes her in his
hand. and carries her away, and not sting

gloves III he be q farmer, he may run in
from the field to hive swarm with his arms
bare to the elbow. and be rot stuug. aud yet
Thousands of bees fl around him, and many
aljght on his person. But every beekeeper
is stuDg more or less, and the stings. for the
greater part, are the result of the Keeper 8
caIelessness. In handling frame, he does
not see the bee beneath the top bar, and
PAGES finger on him. A sting follows, as a
matter of course. 1t sometimes hap.
pers, however, that two or three
bees, often only one, are determined
to ttirg. In opening hive, single bee
may take bee line for the face, and
this bee must be struck down and killed
The bee likes planed surfaces. He makes
slow Roadway crawling in the grass where
the blades twist and turn and anger him
Hence while crawling upon the back OF a

able swelling to the shoulder. The arm is
twice its natural size, and the swelling does

exactly painful, but certainly uncomfort-
able. Hence this bee-keeper must wear
gloves and a veil. When q single sting

No disease which does not confne man TO his

by the miseries born OF indigestion, it is highly
desirable for the brain sake, as well as for the
sake OF every other portion Of the SYSTEM that the

Ross turned pale and fed from the room. his
audience were surprised and greatly excited.
The moment many of them realized what was
the matter they became howing mob and
pursued their lecturer for a mile yelling all the
time. At this point Ross, who was brcathess
and driven TO bay, turned suddenly and
stabbed two OF his most active pur-
suers. Others coming up at the moment
seized and disarmed the Inurderous rector.
The police then put In an appearance and AR
rested Ross. He was taken before "a magistrte
to-day when charges We're lodged against him,
and he was remanded for a week without ball.
Ii transpires that Ross disappeared from BEL
fast two years ago. leaving wife and three
children. Mrs. JOY, who was a teacher in his
Sunday school. also disappeared at the same
time, which led TO a report that the couple had
eoped. This runor WAS confirmed when Mr..
Joy received letter from Ross in which the
latter said: "lour wife has undergone mail
practice and you had better arrange for obtain
Ing a divorce from her." Mrs. Joy was found
