American men of science have re-
turned to an old cure for rheumatism,
in the shape of bee stings. The scien-
tific explanation is that a bee when
stinging injects formic acid which is
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.
1t is probably the long continuance
of damp weather which has inspired
so many newspaper correspondents to
give the world just now their notions
on cures for rheumatism. We referred
briefly the other day to the American
revival of cure by bee stings-a meas
ure heroic enough to please every 81

Life'S Plans Seem
Sadly Out Of Joint.

If, indeed, the intention was that
fife should mean happiness, how sad
has been the laundering! For consid-
er, for one thing. the pitiful ignorance
which has resulted in such tragic suf-
fering to humanity. AS n matter of
fact, man has been cheated of his
birthright, supposing him entitled to
hf ppiness. for has he not been COM
pc led, unaided, to wrestle with the
problem of fitting himself to his en-
vironment? Through long ages. by
sweat of brow, travail of spirit and
onerous physical toll, he has struggled
to adjust himself to conditions into
which he was thrust. He found no
paradise of happiness free to all Life
is a perpetual struggle, not elysium,
says Vogue. Not only have millions
been the victims of hideous slavery,
but the whole race, from all time, has
suffered cruelty because of ignorance,
the most pathetic phase of this suffer
ing being the unprecedented cruelty
and injustice which results from ig-
norant parentage. Can those who
claim happiness as birthright explain
why sentient beings predestined for

happiness are not put in the way OF
achieving it? For instance, is the fate
which is supposed to dispense happi-
ness asleep, or gone on journey,
that it permits northern capitalistic
unholy love of money to combine with
southern parental greed for the tor
ture of children, in the process of mill
money getting? If happiness be the de-
signed portion for humanity, then are
life's plans sadly out of joint, for the
most cunning of malevolent spirits
could not possibly devise greater vari-
ETY. or more decorating kinds of misery
than those which human beings in all
grades of society are made to expert
ence. Apart from the inevitable per-
sonal sorrows which affect all, how is
it possible for any but the very young
or the very selfish to be happy in
world where the majority are miser-
able because of disease, little health,
dire poverty. incapacity, onerous la
Dor or cruel anxiety? Life as disci-
pline for character-building is an in
spring conception. Life as an abor-
tive happy hunting ground is an appal'
ling theory.

A Three Days Jag
On SuIphuriC Acid.

Ex-Representative Morgan of Mis-

topper in the state of the muddy water.
When he first settled down to practice
the town boasted of drug store run
by one of his friends. The store had
a soda fountain and back of this, with
the bottles of liquids otherwise medi-
cinal, was placed bottle of whisky

known as Uncle Billy. 1t was Uncle
Billy's habit to step into the drug
store every morning, pass behind the
counter, and help himself to a tum
bier of whisky.
Good mornin'," he always said, and
Good mornin, Uncle Billy" every
body said to him. That was about all
that passed in conversational way as
he made his regular morning call.
One morning Uncle Billy had made
his regular visit to the habitat of the
whisky bottle. and was just disappear
ing through the door when the drug
drunk out of the wrong bottle. He
had taken his potion from a bottle of
sulphuric acid. Well, the druggist was
almost panic-stricken. Uncle Billy
had gotten out of sight, meantime
and the druggist closed the door of his
shop. and in fear and trembling sent
for his friend. the struggling young
lawyer who later represented the state
in congress. When told the situation

VOLUNTEERS FOR THE FRONT.
Embarrassing Mistake Made by
Visitor to hayti.

That the character of the frequent
revolutions in Hayti tends decidedly
toward opera bouffe is attested by
story which has gained currency in
the navy department during the last
week. 1t emanated from a man who
held, under one of the mushroom gov
errments of Hayti, the post of admiral
of the Haytian navy, the same office
held by Admiral Killick, who is re-
ported to have gone to the bottom
with his ship, the Crete-a-Pierrot,
when it was sunk by the German gun
boat Panther.
The admiral was standing in the
doorway of hotel in Port au Prince
in company with another American,
who was familiar with Haytian Gus
toms.
Down the main street came band
of negroes. They were ignorant look
ing and seemed little inclined to
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.
"who are those-convIcts?' asked
the admiral, turning to his friend.
The friend appeared surprised, for
he had just finished talking of the rev.
olution reported to be raging outside
Port au Prince. why, no indeed,
they're not convicts," he replied.
They are volunteers going to the
'front.'

Y.ursan ADVISED that the only thing
to do was to open the doors just as II
nothing had happened and to await
developments.
Both momentarily expected word OF
Uncle Billy's death. Three days
passed and no word came. Finally
they were about to conclude that he
had dropped dead from his dose OF
the poison in some obscure spot
where no one had yet come along to
discover him, when Uncle Billy, look
ing a little the worse for wear, but
smiling all over, walked in rather ner-
vously. The druggist was beside him
self for joy.
Glad to see you, Uncle Billy" he
exclaimed, and repeated. 81 am GER
tainly glad to see you this morning.
I've got bottle of the finest brand
of whisky I want you to try"

And the old man, who. instead or
being killed by the poison, had got
ten a three days jag on it. insisted on
being allowed to sample the sulphuric
acid again.

How Young Moody Came to Admire

Paul d. Moody, son of the evangel-

that made him very popular with his
fellows.
One day Paul was induced to get

Some Of the Popular
Cures for Rheumatism.

the left hand is cure infallible. But
of all these notions the most interest
ing and probably the most popular in
England is that known by the name of
the potato cure, as the London Globe
says. 1t is said that if person suf-
fering from rheumatism will carry a
potato about with him he will find
himself free from pain and distress.
1t is asserted that a potato carried in
the pocket of n rheumatic person Will
speedily become as hard as rock,
while in the keeping of person free
from the complaint it remains in its
ordinary condition. Therefore it would
appear as if the explanation of faith"
in this case does not apply-as 1t
would perhaps in the matter of
charms. 80 far as we know, science
has no pronounced judgment on the
potato cure, but it would certainly be
interesting to obtain scientific ex-
planation of the hardening of the po-
tato.

Garrison for South Africa,

Al the end of the year there will
still be about $4,000 British troops in

garrison of this size will be main
tained during the whole of next year
or for longer. 1t is hoped that ulti.
mately $1,000 men will be sufficient to
garrison South Africa, but 1t is pos.
sible that the military authorities may
determine, for the purposes of train
ing, to K"ep the army corps there.

Ex-State Senator Arkell OF New

is that they will not give particle.
