BEE sTlNes CURE RHEUMATISM

Elder Whitmer Finds It Most sue-
 eessful Remedy.
 If you have rheumatism, q healthy swarm of bees can cure you They will sting the disease out of your body. The bee cure has been known for some time, but it isn't always a successful medicine. The latest report of eue- cess is given in the American Bee Journal by Elder Daniel Whitmer. He says: "I believe that bee poison, with some people, is good remedy; it has proved a bonanza and antidote to the writer for many years Prior to my entering the bee industry had been a forms, attacking the limbs and other portions Of the body. Finally, by oyerwork and manual labor, was at tackled with sciatic rheumatism, re- sulting in paralysis of the back, thighs, kidneys, bladder, etc., and was under the doctors care and confined to my bed and room for three months. Under the doctors treatment I be- came eenyaleseent, but unable to per- form manual labor on the farm. AS yet the great numbness in my limbs was so present that in my invalid con- dition I chose apiculture as pursuit to give me livelihood. One day in handling a colony of bees I became somewhat careless in the manipulation and irritated the bees to the extent that they rushed out of the hive and stung me desperately in the numb parts. If I had TO feeling before, it was evident I had then, for I just danced as I never did before, for I don't believe in it. h twenty-four hours I was a we'll man. so far as rheumatism was concerned, numbness all gone"

 Newspapers.
 s. Charles Phillips of London, Eng land, is in St. Paul in the interests of a trip that is to be made to this country next summer by party of British newspaper proprietors and publishers, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press. He is attending to the preliminaries and ar ranging for the reception of the sixty members of the party that will be in St. Paul in June. There will be in- eluded the proprietors and representa- tiYes of all of the largest newspaper and publishing houses in the kingdom, and they are coming to the United States for the purpose Of Investigating our methods and with the intention of arranging for the purchase of paper supplies in this country. England is at present dependent upon the conti- nent for it's supply of pulp from which to make paper, said MT. Phillips. We have not the quantity nor the quality of wood necessary for the manufacture of the paper we need. We have se- Cu1 SO tIS dISel pOItlOu Ol our Supply of pulp for newspapers from Scandi- navia. Nearly all of the fine paper came from Germany until recently, when the United States entered the market. Ten years ago not an ounce of pulp was secured in the United States by England. Today thousands of tons of it are being shipped over each year. The finer qualities of pulp made in this country are the best in the market. It is a fact that Ameri- can factories are today shipping to the German towns from which ten years ago this country received it's high grade paper material. It is the inten- tion of the publishers that are to visit this country next summer to inspect the important paper factories in the United States and Canada, with a view to securing an intelligent understand ing of the situation, and making ar engagements for securing their future supplies.

TO ENGLAND IN TWO DAYS.
Passenger Steamships of the Future Will Cross in Forty-eight Hours.

Fast electric ships crossing the ocean at more than a mile a minute, will go from New York to Liverpool in two days" writes John Elfreth Wat llIns. Jr.. of What May Happen in the Next Hundred Years in the December Ladies Home Journal. The bodies of these ships will be built above the waves. They will be supported upon runners somewhat like those of the sleigh. These runners will be very buoyont. Upon their under sides will be apertures expelling jets of air. In this way a film of air will be kept be- tween them and the waters surface This film, together with the small sur face of the runners, will reduce fric- tion against the waves to the smallest possible degree. Propellers propelled by electricity will screw themselves through both the water beneath and the air above. Ships with cabins arti- ficial!y cooled will be entirely fire proof In storms they will dive below the water and there await fair weather"

Shade For the Hog,

Shade For the Hog.
With shade in which the hog can be
in comfort during hot weather means
not only better health for him, but an
actual gain of a pound or more per
day with the same ration, that the
hog without such arrangement actu-
ally loses a pound II more per day.
One of the most perfect arrangements
for this purpose is made by placing
posts in the ground reaching about
four feet above the ground upon
which a platform is built of poles or
cheap lumber, and such platform ar
rangement covered over with a thick
covering of straw.
Scatter lime and salt on the ground
plentifully under this shed. The salt
draws damp and prevents dust from
accommodating under the shed, and the
lime is m of the best dis~infectants
that can be used about hog lots, and
also destroys all unpleasant doors.
The absence of side walls allows
perfect ventilation. One upon trying
this plan will be surprised to find how
comfortable and pleasant il is for the
hog beneath the shed during the hot
test of the weather, and how much he
receives from the extra growth for the
small outlay Of labor in constructing
such shade.
Plenty Of pure water for drinking
purposes should be kept at all times
within easy access of the hog, espe-
cially during hot weather. = Farm,

The strength of the inbursting cur
rent simply cannot be calculated or
counteraeted by any mariner. In
width the straits vary from nine to
forty miles; and when the brownish
fog never absent from the northern
horizon spreads southwark. obscuring
every landmark. it is impossible for
any captain to keep up speed and re-
tain his bearings. He may refer to
his chart as often rs he plcases and
tell himself, .'Thus and thus have we
come, and here is the place we are"

may be at least a hundred miles out

Grief.stricken Mans Suicide.

William Winters, one of the oldest
citizens of Kearney, who became deli
rious from grief over the death of his
aged wife, was killed by falling or
jumping out of a second-story window
at his home. Winters's wife died q
few days ago, and he grieyed so oye1
her death that his friends could not
control him. He had spent much of
the night sitting heal the corpse of his
wife, with his head bowed as if in
prayer. He was left alone in the room
and was subsequently missing. A
search was made and his body was
found in the yard. He had evidently
crawled out on an extension, and it is
question whether he fell off of this or
jumped with the intention of ending
his life. He was e~ighty-six years of
age, and is said to have been an uncle
of the late Vice-President Hobart. A
double funeral was held at the Win.
tiers residence.
