TO PREVENT BEE sTINGs.
Just Hold Your Breath and Be Invul-
nerable-The Theory.

1t is a fact not generally known that II
one holds his breath. wasps, bees and hor-
nets can be handled with impuuity. The
skin becomes sting proof, says Science. and
holding the insect by the feet and giving
her full liberty Of action, you can see her
drive her weapon against the impenetrable
surface with a force which lifts her body
at every stroke But let the smallest guam
tity Of air escape from the lungs. and the
sting will penetrate at once. l have never
seen an exception to this in twenty-five
years observation. l have taught young
ladies' with very delicate hands to as
tonish their friends by the performance
Of this feat, and / saw one so severely
stung as to require the services OF a ply
stefan. through laughing at the witty re-
mark Of her sister. forgetting that laugh
ing required breath. For a theory in ex-
PLANTATION. / am led to believe that holding
the breath partially closes the pores Of the
skin. My experiments In that direction
have not been exact enough to be of any
scientific value. but l am satisfied hat II
very sensibly affects the amount Of insensi-
bic perspiration.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE STORM.
Mr.. Cleveland Warned to Keep His
Weather Eye Open.

The terrible storm which played havoc
along the Atlantic coast early Thursday
morning. of which such full accounts were
given in Thursdays Star. did not come with
out warning. Its probable course was
traced by the weather bureau with exact
ness. and the storm signals We're ordered
up Wednesday from North Carolina 20 Mas
sachusetts. The early eye of the YEA. her
prophet could foresee danger in the peculiar
conditions on Cape Hatteras "Wednesday
morning. and when the attention Of the Sec
rotary of Agriculture was called to the mat
ter he promptly telegraphed the President
at Buzzard's Bay that there would be a
dangerous storm along the south New Eng
land coast Thursday. II he had my inten-
ton Of going fishing on that day. the Sec
rotary thought perhaps his warning might
be very timely.
As IL turned out the storm came a little
early before the President could possibly
think Of going down the bay that Thurs
day morning. But he doubtless turned over
when he heard the roaring wind and said
Those weather chaps are sometimes
mighty good prophets"

SEVENTY LIVES LOST
In the Great Gale That Swept the
Atlantic Coast.

1t is now known that not less than sew
enty men lost their lives in the great storm
that swept up the Atlantic coast from the
West Indies on Wednesday night, and IL is
feared that the list is far from complete
The fatalities, so far as reported UP TO .
follows:
Seventeen were lost by the laundering Of
the Reading collier Panther OF Philadelphia
and the barge Lykens Valley OF South
ampton, l. l.: eighteen went down on the
fshing schooners Ella NJ. johnson and
Empire State of Manasquan: four were
lost from the Mary +. Kelly at Asbury

Mary Lizzie. two from the fishing schooner
Maggie of Gayhead; Me: four from the
fishing smack Melinda Wood of Barnegat
light. and five from the Philadelphia
schooner Narragansett of the New Jersey
Highlands. There are many vessels still
unaccounted for, and II is likely that the
death list will grow for several days.

fore Going 10 the Country.
When you go for an outing to a place FIVE
miles from any drug store or medical man
you will find little consolation in beautiful
scenery and rustic simplicity il you have a
headache. a touch of malaria OF sore
throat, and know that in your carelessness
you did not bring a grain Of duinine. any
headache powders or potash lozenges.
Every mother Of a family should take a
box, or, better still, a regular little medi-
cine case filled with all the necessary. in
dispensable articles. which are SO easy TO
obtain in the city, but which, in case OF
sudden illness at night in country place.
would be hard to obtain digitalis or
morphine. The sensible woman takes:
Quinine pills in two-grain pellets, nitre in
case Of fever, cold cream for sunburn and
arnica, Ponds extract and vaseline in case
powders is good for headache and syrup Of
rhubarb is excellent for the children when
they are generally upset from too much
candy, mountain air and too good a time.
box of seidlitz powders is also good to
have on hand. and some mustard leaves
are always blessing in disguise when
needed.
If there is a small baby in the family OF
course many other things will suggest
themselves; or IL you are a chronic sufferer
from any particular Ill, from toothache TO
nervous prostration, you will know Just
what you need better than any one else.
For toothache the tiny mustard plasters
that come by the box are excellent for
