Some of the Popular
Cures for Rheumatism.

American men OF science have re-
turned to an old cure for rheumatism.
In the shape OF bee stlngs. The sclen-
tiflc explanation Is that a bee when
singing iniects formic acid which Is n
cure for rheumatism. What probably
happens Is that the patient. after hav.
ing sat for some time on the beehive,
forgets all about the rheumatism.
II Is probably the long continuance
OF damp weather which has inspired
30 many newspaper correspondents to
give the world Just now their notions
on cures for rheumatism. We referred

revival OF cure by bee stings-a meas.

doorway OF a hotel In Port au Prince

who was familiar with Haytian Gus

march ahead, but were forced along
against their wills by the persuasive
powers OF long black whips in the
hands OF brilliantly uniformed per-
sons. evidently officers Of the Haytian
army.

the New York Sun. For outing pur-

are the plain tailor-made waists OF

but the dainty. sheer lawns and soft
silks with their tucks and frills are so
much more attractive that the original
shirt waist is quite eclipsed by the
more feminine variety. All over en-
broideries are used for white waists,
and in small designs Of dots and birds

bands with narrow lace finishing the

stripping it in three rows up and down
