Mr.. Wilkins threw his Panama

beach-front donkey happened to be
running loose. The animal espied
the Panama hat on the sand, and,
believing that it was some kind of
choice hay fit for a good meal, il
very complacently started in, and
was on the last morsel of the hat
when MI. Wilkins looked up and

AT first he felt like killing the

THE BEE-sTING CURE.
Experiment OF Mr.. Aprogle In Acute
Attack OF Rheumatism.

Attack OF Rheumatism.
Carl Aprogle, a thrifty German
trucker of Caroline county, Nd, was
induced to try the bee-stiDg cure for
rheumatism. He had been long af.
flicted and had tried many remedies
which failed. His last attack az
most incapacltated him for work. 1t
was the worst he had ever had and
he became desperate. A neighbor
advised him 10 try the bee-sting cure,
which he said be bad seen used effec.
lively in Germany as cure for
rheumatism.
The nearest beehives we're at Mr..
ID. j. Zacharia's, some miles distant.
and Mr.. Aprogle had himself put
abroad his blackboard wagon and
carted to Mr.. Zacharia's, who said he
was willing to have his bees sting
Aprogle, but was not willing for
him to go entirely without clothing,
as Aprogle wanted to do. Mr..
Zacharia suggested that he 60 bare
foot, roll up his trousers and tie a
veil over his head and face; this
Aprogle, who does not believe in
homeopathy, refused to do, but final
ly agreed to wear a shirt reaching a
part of the way to his knees.
The rheumatic then hobbled with
his two sticks to the beehives. Some
bees came out, buzzed about, looked
curiously at the intruder and per.
formed lncantations, but would not
sting him. Aprogle was disappointed.
lie went closer to the hives and
mingled right with the bees, but they
would not sting him. They did not
seem TO like that kind of rheumatism.
Finally Aprogle got mad. The idea.
of having come all that distance to
get the bee-sting cure, and being re-
fused it iufuriated him; so he pro-
ceeded to modest the bees in their
hives. lie assaulted hive with his
cane and overturned it. Then he
upset two or three more hives, bring
ing the bees to their senses. They,
in turn, got mad. They assaulted
Aprogle, who could neither leave his
rheumatism on the scene of conflict
nor get away with it. His lone shirt
protected him not. The bees stung
his equator and his tropics, his north
pole and his south pole, his diameter
and his circumference, his zenith and
his nadir, his apogee and his perigee.
Some of them left their stings stick
ing in his rheumatism SO that he
looked porcupiny. Then Mr.. Zach
arias had one Of his men throw
long lasso over one of his feet and by
the help of yoke of oxen drew him
away from the apiary.
Mr.. Aprogle does not know whether
or not his rheumatism is cured. He
is now trying his best to get we'll of
the remedy.

FOX FARM IN MAINE,
Owner Raises the Black Variety Of
Reynard-Skins Bring High Prices.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Elijah Norton Of Bangor Me, finds foxes
a more profitable crop than potatoes or hay.
and so he long ago quit planting and hoe
ing and moving, and is now deyotinR his
entire attention to raising the sharp-eyes
and bushy-taied little animals, whose fur Is
in great demand always and everywhere
When Norton began raising foxes 1t was an
experiment; now he has the business estab-
lished on highly profitable basis, and his
sunny hillside farm on the bank of the
Piscataquis is known as the best-paying
piece Of land in Maine.
The Norton fox farm is not the fret in
Maine, for foxes had been successfully bred
by a man on Heron Island, Boothbay Har-
Dor, for years before the Dover enterprise
was thought Of.
When Norton got ready to 20 into the fox
business he visited the Heron Island farm,
and one on Prince Edward Island in the
Gulf of st. Lawrence, to get points and also
to buy some breeding stock. Then he started
In to beat the original fox farmers, and he
has succeeded.
Being an old hunter and knowing the ways
OF foxes, Norton at the outset recognized
the fact that to be healthy, and thus profit
able, his stock must be contented and to in
sure that happy condition he so constructed
and arranged his Enclosure as to dispeil the
idea of capttvity-which foxes cannot en-
dure. He built fence sixteen feet high, Of
- oiiu specially "oNSH wire, 10 keep
the foxes in and to keep other animals out
Six Enclosures thus formed cover about one
and half acres, and in each Of them
Is Kennel, built of wood and set deep into
the earth, serving as nursery and as den
for the foxes in winter At first few of the
foxes escaped by burrowing down under the
fence, but Norton stopped this by carrying
the wire down four to eight feet to the solid
ledge The whole farm has been allowed to
grow up with rank grass and weeds, SO that
1t resembles the native haunts Of the fox in
the wildwood. and Nortons stock does not
seem to realize that 1t is living in captivity
stranger visiting the place sees at first
only rank growth Of weeds and under
brush, the foxes all scurrying to cover at his
approach, but on looking closely one NAV
detect here and there q pair of bright ewes
peeping out at him from the tangle. The
Norton foxes are as wary and alert as ever
their ancestors were In the wilds of Maine
Canada, Ohio and Alaska from all of which
regions the colony has been recruited.
On the farm are common red foxes from
the woods of Maine; blue foxes from Alas
IA, silver grays from Prince Edward Island
and blacks from Ohio. The reds are the
commonest and least valued of foxes: hines
are worth more; but the silver grays and
blacks are the aristocrats. AS a matter Of
fact, the black and the silver gray are the
same breed, silver gray being a hlack
with sprinkling of gray hairs The black
fox pelt is among the most valuable of furs
fine specimens frequently bringing $500 m
5000, while in several instances as high as
$1,000 to ST 200 has been paid Ordinarily
a black fox pelt is quoted at $500 to $3.50

RICHNESS OF NOME FIELD.
Greatness Of the Gold Deposits Nov
Firmly Established.


From the Seattle Pust-Intelligencer.
It is not at all surprising to be told by
those familiar with the facts that the gold
output of Nome this year will probably
equal that of the last two seasons put to-
Rether This is what everybody believed
who knew anything about the conditions.
1t has pleased the sensational newspapers
to represent the Nome incident as mere
feverish excitement, which disappeared
with the vanishing Of the supposed f1ctions
that began It, 1t pleased the cities which
Seattle has outstripped to take the cue and
to speak Of the gold product of the north as
waning. The record of the Klondike, about
which exactly the same things were said,
is there. The record of Alaska's gold out
put is there The record of Nome will take
care of itself.
This is the first season that there
has been any opportunity whatever to
measure nationally the possibilities Of Nome
as a gold producer. The first summer was
one Of a mad rush by inexperienced people
to get into the country, believing that all
they had to do was to shovel up free gold
en- the beach. They tumbled over one an
other impeded or excluded the real miners
and brought back the stories Of disappoint-
meut and disillusion inseparable from such
an enterprise
Both the first and second seasons work
was done under uncomfortable difficulties.
There was worst of all, the judicial wrangle
the endless appeal to the courts, the tying
up of some of the best properties and the
check upon prospecting and development by
the certainty that the first move must be
lawsuit There was the worst kind of
weather, late spring and early fall, too
much ice and too little water. The country
was bare Of those necessary accessories to
mining on a generous scale-weter and fuel.
A more unfavorable condition for produc-
ing gold in large quantities it would be
hard to imagine.
Now for the first time Nome is in a posi-
ton to show what she can. do as a gold
producer. A strict administration of JUS
tice has held down the unruly elements and
given certainty to titles. The worthless and
the inexperienced element has largely dis
appeared from the country Capital has
gone there in large quantities Fuel and
water are to be had in abundance. and
claims can now beSworked there with the
advantages available elsewhere The first
result is the announcement that the years
output will probably equal the entire pro-
duct of the past. The Nome region is
about to show, having for the first time an
opportunity, what it can do as gold pro-
Queer We think that the showing will
be very satisfactory, and that it will ser
this down as not only one of the richest,
but one of the permanent mining districts
of the north.
