Asks Brother If All Religious Duties
Are Over.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, tells a
story of Mark Twains early days in
Carson City.
''At that time" said Senator Stewart,
'the humorist had not attained to the
philosophic calm which comes with
college degrees. He was a journalist,
and an unterrified one. In Carson City
he boarded at the home Of his brother,
who was a model citizen and a Chris
tan.
Zone morning was a guest Of this
brother at breakfast. We had just seat
ed ourselves at the table when voice
drawled from the stairway above:
Have you read the Scripture lesson
this morning.,
Eyes was the reply.
Had family prayersT continued the
voice from above.
Eyes, SAM said the host, smiling at
me.
"There was pause, and then in the
now well known drawl came the fur
Their question:
Said grace?'
Yes. responded the patient head Of
the household.
All right, then came the cheerful
comment from the stairway: TIL be

erent youth, who in few years was
to promote the gayety Of nations, join
ed us at the breakfast table."-NeW

His Idea Of Absent. MIndedness

Counselor E., while cross examining
a witness in a will contest, asked him
what was his conception of absent mind :

the decedant as exceedingly absent mind
that a man who thought he left his

CURE BY STING OF BEES
ALLEGED STRANGE DISCOVERY
AS TO ACUTE RHEUMATISM.
Anti Toxic Effect Is CIaimed-Farm
ers of Southern Pennsylvania and
Maryland Believe They Have Found
Natures Remedy for Painful Dis
ease-Due Largely to Sluggishness

Special to the Globe.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 30.-Is
there new cure. discovered for rheu-
matism? We have heard of SO many
new propositions Of the effect OF
chemical constituents on the human
system recently that it Is hard to tell
what may or may not be.
Farmers and others coming into
town here are enthusiastic over the
cure of William Swively OF Shady
Grove, a lifelong sufferer from rheu-
matism who, after being terribly stung
by a swarm of bees, has been appar-
emily cured of his trouble. Some Of
our local doctors have formed the the
DRY that there is in the sting of the bee
a quantity known as formic acid, which
Is direct antidote for uric acid, well
known and acknowledged by the best
authorities to be the basis Of the pol
son which gives rise to rheumatism.
However it may be, it seems clear
that since Mr. Swively was so badly
stung his rheumatism has completely
disappeared.
Experiments of Kemp.
An experience which bears out the
supposition entertained in this con-
nection Is that of Charles E. Kemp, a
we'll known, wealthy retired gentleman
of Roland Park, a suburb Of Baltimore.
Mr.. Kemp some time since purchased
a couple of swarms of bees in order
to follow up the ideas of the Belgian
philosopher, Maurice Maeterlinck, so
that he might study their habits. In
fact he made hobby Of the bee ques-
ton, much as Maeterlinck has done.
In the course of his observations Mr..
Kemp, who has been a lifelong suf-
ferer from rheumatism was stung
many times. He has found that since
these experiences his rheumatism has
disappeared and his joints have be-
come as supple as they were before he
contracted the disease.
Others in his vicinity have expe-
rienced similar results and the two
states are agog with the question of
whether the acute sting of the bee
or rather, the poison conveyed by 1t,
is really the long sought specific.
OF course it Is impossible to say
whether or not 1t is the shock expe-
rienced from the singing of the bees
that has temporarily driven these
rheumatic pangs into allegiance, or If
the stings really have an antitoxic eff
feet, which it is possible they may
have. Violent poisons naturally have
their counteractants Salicylic acid as
1t Is administered in allopathic doses.
