small fortune they intended to make
from selling the honey from Eph's
tree, saw only the bees. Carefully
Frank crept up to q bunch of golden
rod, and caught a bee In his bee box
with its glass cover. Then he and the
other two boys went out into q clear
place in the field, fastened the box to
the top of a staff, and watched the
captive bee load himself down with
honey. When his little gripsacks
could ho.d no more, Frank carefully
drew the cover, and the bee raised
lazily out, circled about in the air a
few times and then few swiftly off to
the eastward. Much excited, the boys
waited and presently the bee came
back, bringing a companion with it.
and both settled down in Franks box:
Con, delightedly.
Then Frank put down the cover and.
with the bees in the box, the boys
walked as far in the direction that the
bee had gone AS they could and feel
sure they were ON the right track, and
then the bees, being again loaded with
honey, they let them out and watched
their flight. This vas repeated many
times. The hours slipped quickly
away, and slowly the sun sinking
in the west
"If we don't get there soon," said
Con, "I'm afraid they'll stop for the
night"
"Another trip will do it." answered
Frank, encouragingly. ''The trips of
the bees are getting very short"

try nearly al day, and Frank wasn't
sure that he knew the way back
again.
Frank was too much absorbed to re-
ply. The bees had just settled again
into his box, and he was ready to take
up the march in the direction from
which they came. The boys stood in
n natural opening among the trees.
The woods rose high on all sides, and
Frank was confident that the bee-tree
was only Il short distance away.
"Corm on" he shouted to the boys,
and taking the bee-box and staff, he
led the way into the woods.
"Wlat's that" asked Con. suddenly
stopping. Ppm sure 1T was NEON

"Fool!sh." said Frank, 'don't YOU
know we're ten miles away from any
houses"
A moment more they plodded on,
and then Fred stopped, listening.

Frank said it was only bullfrogs.
In two minutes they came to a rail
fence, and rank didn't know how to
express his surprise. Con and Fred

bushes, and there, not 100 yards away,
stood q small log house. and back of It

much chagrined to say q word.
Don't go up there" he said, finally,
''or they'll find we've been out chasing
tame bees"
. But the words were hardly out Of
his mouth before they heard a voice
calling them by name, and then they
saw old Eph, his shoulders fairly sEtv-
ering with suppressed mirth, come
down through the field.

asked.

peered into the bee box. When he
saw the bees inside he went of into

ashamed to offer any defense.

Experience with Anutoxinc.

After an experience Of two years in
the use of antitoXine. DR.. John III. Nc
Collum. city physician of Boston and
resident physician at the Boston city
hospital, gives many statistics to show
the value of the agent in the treat
ment of diphtheria. "-As Il rule" says
DR.. McCollom, patients are not sent
to Il hospital unless they are seriously
i'll, and for this reason statistics based
on hospital cases give a much better
idea of the benefit Of any prescribed
method Of treatment than can be OBJ
tanned from cases in private practice"
In Boston, from 1873 to 1894, the ay-
crage death rate in diphtheria cases
was 30.7. AS this comprises 24.S13
cases, the average fatality of the dis
ease can readily be seen. In the Bos-
ton city hospital, from Sept. i, 1895. to
May l, 1896, when every case was
treated with a%ntitoXine, there were
1.359 cases Of diphtheria treated. with
l1O deaths, giving Il percentage Of
1880. The Importance of the early adj
ministration of antitoXine is shown by
the statistics of the hospital. OF the
1850 eases admitted, 53 died within
twenty-four hours of admission, and OF
these quite Il large number died with
in two or three hours. DIR. McCollom
says that in nc instance has any Sc
rious effect followed the use of anti
toxine i'll the hospital. In a few in
stances abcesses have appeared at the
point Of injection, but it is believed
that the injection of a~ntitoNinc was
only an exciting cause Of Il predis-
posing condition of the system. Sc
we're joint pains have been noticed in
five instances. lasting from twenty
four to forty-eight hours, but i'll nc in
stance have they been an element of
danger.-New York Post.

One of the most beautiful things IN
American politics is the liberaiity OF
public opinion, and the great respect
which men of America have for the
opinions of their opponents. During
this, the greatest political battle ever
fought on earth, we have yet to hear
of the first incidence where blows or
quarrels have usurped the functions
Of quiet debate, which demonstrates
the capability of Americans TO be
controlled by the weight OF argument,
and quietly submit to he inevitable,
when beat, at the polls. While the
American people are lidienled Iy then

the money question.

This has been the most expensive

amount Of printed matter circulated
by all parties has most of it been
carried through the mails under Con-
gressional franks and, OF course, at
the exp, nse of the government. So
YOU see that although each Of the
campaign committees was claiming to
be educating the voters, the taxpayers
will have to foot a considerable por-
ton OF the educational expenses. The
ranking of campaign documents Is
not new by any means, but it never
before reached the proportions of the
