Much complaint has been made to

late concerning the use of second hand
fruit boxes which, it is held, are full
of poisonous germs from particles of
decayed fruit elinging to- the boxes.
The secondhand use Of these packages
is a matter Of economy on the part Of

Col. Ames' Advice.

Following is an extract from letter
just received by Gov. Lind from Col.
Ames. The letter is dated Manila and
was undoubtedly written before the
colonel left the PHILIPPINE Islands. Col.
Ames says:
II have kept our regimental hospital
going, and we have had as high as 70
men there, besides all the men we have
had in the regular hospital. Many of
our men serving in the field ought to
be off duty, but they stick to it and
will suffer later in consequence.
II am very sorry to hear that we are
likely to be mustered out in San Fran
cisco. If we are Minnesota will never
have chance to see the 18th together
again as regiment.
IF our people desire us to come back
what there is left of us-as regi-
ment, they will have to do some pull
ing to accomplish it.
"Our wounded men are doing we'll,
and we are pushing the matter of send
ing the worst ones home. I have about
Sc, 5000 in gold of the regimental fund
still on hand, aud think this will pro-
vide for the mems wants and comforts
till we get back"

One day the old gentleman was toying

nizing that he could not run the bees
attacked him viciously. They stung
him repeatedly in the numb portions OF
his anatomy. Under the stings they
rapidly recovered lively sense of feel

executed a skirt dance which would
have done credit to Loie Fuller. Next
morning, though somewhat sore from
the stings, the elder states that every
trace of the rheumatism had left him,
nor has it ever returned. He urges all
victims of rheumatism to try the bee
sting cure, believing in all seriousness
that it will cure them.

Shakespeare and Insanity.

In work just published in Berlin en-
titled 'The. Representations of Insan-
ity in Shalespeare's Plays" the author,
DR.. Laehr, demonstrates Shakespeare's
wonderful insight into human nature
and the phenomena of insanity. He
shows how Shakespeare's delineation
of the onset of insanity in King Lear is
entirely in accordance with the knowl-
edge of the medical profession to-day
on the subject, although it was entire
ly misunderstood by the medical pro-
fession of Shakespeare's day. Besides
Lear, he selects the case of Hamlet for
examinations and discussion and he
treats his subject in the mastery way
which characterizes the German sci
entists. as
