Gently remarked an officer of one of our

Of blood poisoning are among our en-
ployes, and the cause in most of these
instances would doubtless surprise YOU
more. A scratch on the hand from a bone
of a calfs head or a pigs foot often dis
ables a man for week, and. strangely
enough, in almost every case that has
come under my notice. the scratch has
been so slight as to be almost imperctp.i-
BILE.
The first intimation the man has of
his injury is swelling of the forearm,
accompanied by smarting pain. Both
swelling and pain generally extend to the
shoulder under which large lung some
times forms. Even after the presence of
the scratch has been in this manner
demonstrated 1t Is often impossible to de-
tect 1t. 1t is usually caused, in the case of
the calf's head. by the sharp edge on the
bone Of the neck, due to the carelessness
of the butcher who sewers the head from
the carcass. If he does his work well and
his cleaver has severed the joint per-
fecty, all is well, for there is no sharp
edge to cut, but IL he has missed the Joint
by even a hairs breadth. which happens
in five cases out of ten, there is an edge
on the bone that will probably work mis-
chief.
''Of course, none Of these cases has ever
resulted seriously, as prompt measures are
always taken. and as we always insist that

physician. This rule we never vary. for

Hunting Dogs and Pigs stung to
Death by nm Angry swarm.
Luke Whitaker lives with his wife eight
miles lack firm the village OF Bushkill. in
the Pike county, Pa. woods. says the New
York Sun He has always kept several
hives Of bees in his yard. a number Of hunt
ing dogs and several pigs. His dog kennels
were only a few rods from the bee hives.
There had never been any trouble between
the bees and the dogs or pigs. but the other
day one Of the swarms took offense at one
Of the dogs for some reason and suddenly
came out Of their hives In a body and at
tackled the dog. They covered him COM
pletely. and soon stung him TO death.
The yells of the poor dog. which was
chained to the kennel. seemed to arouse the
bees i'm the other hives. and one swarm af-
ter another came out and attacked the other
dogs. The great commotion at the kennels
drew Mrs. whittakers attention TO them,
and. discovering the trouble. she ran out
with the intention of untying the dogs. so
they could escape from the bees. As she ap-
preached the kennels one of the swarms OF
lees attacked her and drove her. almost
blinded by their singers. back into the
bopse. The struggles of one Of the dogs
broke its chain, and IL escaped to the woods.
and has not been seen since. The rest OF
the dogs were stung 20 death.
After killing the dogs the bees turned
their attention to three little pigs in a pen
and two old hogs in another pen. The little
pigs were smart enough to bury themselves
in some straw. and thus saved their lives.
The big pigs were stung TO death. The bees
then returned 10 their hives. IL being near
night.
That night Whitaker turned the fumes OF
sulphur into the hives ami smothered all
the bees. They had killed 500 worth OF
6ogs and so worth of pork.

STRINGING BEADS.

One OF the Amusements Of the Happy
Days Of Youthful Fcminfnisy.
From the New York sun
when I went home the other night"
said Mr.. Gratebar. Il found my two young
e. children each with a dish OF beads OF
various colors and q needle and thread
busily engaged In stringing beads I am
sure that neither of them had ever thought
OF such n thing when 1 went away In the
morning. but they were at IL then with the
keen interest attending q new enjoyment.
that seems to indicate entire familiarity
with the work in hand. They were already
m aking bead bracelets and rings. and ask
ing their mother to thread their needles for
them. and going ahead generally as though
they had been stringing beads all their
lives.
And indeed. they had come by that
faculty naturally enough. for stringing
beads is one of a number OF amusements
of childhood the love for which appears TO
be implanted IN the human race. and TO be
transmitted from generation 20 generation:
and though their desire to string beads had
only that day been actually awakened IL
had really always existed. The only ques-
ton was what had now developed H.
Perhaps the neighbors children across
the way are strlngIng beads. IL may be
that they saw a bead bracelet worn by
some little girl at school: possibly their
mother suggested the beads. OF II may
be that the desire broke out OF itself as
sooner or later Il was bourd 20 do; but
however that may be. this r. the bead

children Of the Gratehar household"
