incubation with the Poison.
That a person who has been often
stung by bees becomes in time IN
mune 10 the poison Of the sting is as
serted by DR., II. F. Parker, according
to the Medical Times. He reports
that when he first began to keep bees
he was frequently stung, and that
each sting was attended with acute
pain; but that as time went on the
pain and swelling became less. In
thefollowing year, while transferring
a hive Of bees, he had an experience
which he thus relates:
"Sting followed sting insuccession

1 imagined what a picture | would

hands and feet. l could feel the
needlelike thrust, but then it didnot
seem to pain as much, and at last fin
ished the task. With aching head,
slight nausea and vertigo slowly com
ing on, I left my task with a sigh Of
relief for what was accomplished,
and filed with wonderment as to
what my personal appearance would
be.
"Tmagine my establishment to find
merely slightly raised red spots, like
little pimples, with the red sting in
the center, as the result of each and
every sting, | must have had some
thing like 40 of them on various parts
of my body. My clothes were full Of
them, but they, being so thick, did
not allow the stingst to penetrate. The
dizziness, nausea and headache left
me, and Richard was himself again.
"When I again visited my bees !
did not dread the singing properties
any longer, at least not so much as
formerly, and then, and ever since, /
have found that when a bee does sting
me the pain is only sharp for an in
slant and there is an absence Of the
after-swelling. : :

more times than / was at that time,
and yet none Of the symptoms above
referred to have been reproduced
Am I not. therefore, immune to the
poison Of the honey bee, at least to a
certain extent?

CATCHING A MILK THIEF.
Now a Philadelphia Rid Himself Of
a Petty Nuisance.

A Philadelphia man has devised
method of preventing one of the
most Vexatious forms Of petty thiev-
Gy-stealing milk from household
srs' dOorsteps, His experience leaves
the reader somewhat in doubt as to
the success Of the method, but at all
events it is worth trying. He put a
milk can of his own on the stoop,
fastened a piece Of twine to the bot
tom Of it and then ran the twine un-
der the door, and by devious ways up
stairs and into his bedroom. Then
he tied the string around his finger,
and went to bed secure in the knowl-
edge that he would be Informed as
soon as the thief touched the can.
Beside him he put a shotgun, both
barrels loaded with light charges.
Early in the morning a jerk of the
signal line all but pulled off his fin
ger. Before he had time to reach the
front door the thief was far down the
street with a policeman in pursuit.
The inventor, in his righteous wrath,
very nearly shot the policeman. Be-
tween them they recognized the fugi.
tive, and, though he has not been ar.
rested, he is not likely to steal any
more milk.-N. Y. Post.
