GETS STUNG DAILY.
Practice of an Iowa Man to Ward
 Off Rheumatism.
He Says There Is Little Profit in Bee Culture Nowadays and Keeps Apiary Solely to Prevent
 Dread Disease.

Receiving the stings of bees daily to prevent rheumatism would not be pop ular remedy among people generally yet Myron c. Beals, of Sioux City, la, has been a bee culturist for years only for the benefit which he says he receives physically from the stings of his busy insects.
 MT. Beals is one of the largest pro ducers of honey in this country, having several hundred hives. Of late years he has expressed a desire to retire from the business of an apiarist, and would do so but for the fears that if the stings of his bees upon his body are not contin- ued, after his system has become inoe- ulated with the virus, he will become a helpless cripple from rheumatism.
 MT Beals is sincere in his belief, and points to the fact that his mother, who lives in the east, is an invalid from rheu- matism, and a sister is a cripple from the same disease. It is in the family blood. he maintains and the stings of his bees are his only salvation.
 There is no profit in the honey busi- ness any more" said MT. Beals, ''espe- cially in the west The country has grown and settled up so that the wild flowers are almost extinct, and the bees have few sources of supply for their raw material. I suppose l shall heep my bees, however, as long as live.
 'It is a fact known to the medical pro fession that the sting of the bee has yir- tue in curative way, and the vir''s can be bought at the drug stores. scarce ly notice the stings of the bees any more, as far as the pricling sensation is con- cerned. It used to be painful, but now can receive stings all over my head, face and arms and scarcely notice 1t.
 Bee stings have kille ~-many human beings, as we'll as cattle and horses. If a person not accustomed to stings were to receive as many as do at one time don't believe he would survive the l experience. I believe the effect of be- ing inoculated with the poison of the bee is like having the system filled with alcohol or any narcotic-the more you have had of it the more you can stand
 There Is nothing in the statement fhat 1t is possible to handle bees in 6 careful or kind way and avoid being stung have been in the business for a good many years, and know they arc no respecters of persons You are ap' to get stung when you are not expecting 1t. When one bee in swarm stings you you are almost certain to be stung again and again, for there is certain odoI which seems to come from sting thai attracts other bees and angers them The more you fight swarm the more you will be stung. for bees are peculiarly subject to excitement.
 Bee culture is one of the most fas- einiating studies It is an interesting science I understand how to care fol them, and want their stings. have oc casional rheumatic twinges in my mus cles that give me anxiety for fear shal be subjected to the fate of other mem bers of our family, and shall not TUT any chances by letting go of my bees"

 alton, Calls a Halt.

MOVE MILLIONS AS RAGS.
Unbonded Government Clerk Carries Money from Washington to New
 York in a Suit Case.

Col Edwards, chief of the division of insular affairs, recently told the story of a bureau clerks remarkable trip few days ago with $3,000,OOO of government cash. The clerk is Marion E. Beall, whose home is in Fort Wayne, Ind. For fear of robbery the officials kept the trip secret until after the clerk had delivered his precious burden in New York
 Under the direction of the insular department the hints and the bureau of printing and engraving have been making money for use in the Philip pines To. Mr. Beall was assigned the duty of overseeing the shipment of the money to the island possessions. The bureau of printing and engraving turned out $3000,000 in $i000 bills. The insular department wanted to get the money to New York. Beall went around to see the express companies about the cost of transporting tho treasure. Eight hundred dollars" :" said each of the companies.
 That's too much" said Col Ed wards when Beall reported. Whats the matter with you putting the money in suit case and taking it up yourself?"
 Why, sure, can take it If you are willing to trust me with It." said Beall.
 The money was put in a suit case and Beall, although not even under bond, carried it from this city to New York. whence it was shipped.

California Fiaberma Gafciiex Curi- ons Fish weigAins i@5 Pounds
 with Rod and Reel.

Edward Llewellyn, a cornet soloist of the Catalina Island band, is a most en- thusiastic and picturesque angler.
 Recently he made the record Jewish catch, one weighing 425 pounds; the oth- sr morning he though he would inscribe he tuna record also on his diadem, and taking the Catalina hiked out after the biggest specimens of the tiger-fish to be taken He had uncorked but a small DOT ton of his stock of patience when his reel began to whizz.
 And then it whizzed. By consummate skill Llewellyn prevented the fish from getting away in the first grand rushes, and then he began on the aggressive. For an hour and 21 minutes a fierce fight lasted Ii was ormidable-lookingc crea- ture that was at length brought alongside the boat, and there was debate, after it was gaffed as to whether it would be a welcome addition to the crew.
 Hung up on the rack here, the creature began to excite comment To the casual observer it was but a moon-fish a rather unusual catch. but occasionally caught and brought in by being entangled in the 6shermen's nets This, however, was caught with a hook and rod and reel, something unknown to fishermen hith- erto. A glance at the fish also showed a radical difference between this and the sword-fsh
 Its sword is not so long as that of the genuine sword-fish of this length the lower jaw is unduly elongated it has on it's back a collapsible fin, which, when extended, stands I'D 15 inches above the fish, but folds down into a grove. until 1t is unnoticeable; the tail is like the screw of a propeller, and very similar In appearance to that of the tuna
 The fish sharps are all guessing The like of this has not been seen here before, nor can any enlightenment be had from any books on the subject to be had here.
 The strange creature is nine feet long and weighs 125 pounds. The sword is 24 inches long and the tail is 39 across.

' 11esh 0UsteSin England who Chm Al fora to Ride in Carriages to Re-~~
 port Their Wherenbouts.


 A Stratford (England magistrate says he knows ticketsof1eave men who drive up to the police station in car riages to report themselves, leaving the offices with smiling faces. The police, who should know, say they would like to see them
 Most of these ex-convicts reporting their whereabouts to us come to the station wearing odd boots" said city police officer. They scarcely have the money to pay for drink, much less cab, while a carriage is out of the question"
 While such cases may be uncommon, however, the fact remains that there are men who, leaving penal establish ment, return to enjoy ill-gotten wealth and to partake of the pleasures of idle ness, says the London Mail. Three years ago a business man who had suf- fered imprisonment for serious charges of fraud drove up to police station to report himself, leaving in a smart brougham outside his two we'll dressed daughters, and wearing the tall hat and frock coat of responsibility. He asked for the superintendent in the airiest of manners, saying he had to see him on "a matter of private business. Only the severe and gruff manager of the station sergeant, who recognized him, brought him to realize his position
 The man whom the Stratford magis- trate sent to jail for his failure to re- port himself every month said that he had been turned away from his work and lodgings on two occasions when it was discovered that he had to call at the police station periodically He could scarcely have known that with the home secretary's permission ex- convicts are allowed to report them selves by letter.

AN ODD CASE.
Times and Can't spell Now -His Curious story.

Think of man learning how to spell three times and then not being able to spell correctly" said an observant man who takes an interest in subjects of this sort, according to the New Orleans Times-Democrat, land you will have my case summed up exactly. am not what you would call a bad speller by any manner of means But stumble now and then, and stumble badly. Why is it? It is the simplest thing in the world. grew up in the country, attended a country school and my first spelling was under the rules of the oll-time school teacher. I learned how to spell on my feet It is a curious fact that for a long time l could not spell the simplest words unless l stood up Standing l could spell anything, and, in fact, was always the winner in the spelling bee
 No one could turn me down, as we used to say in the country. We'll, after this learned how to spell with my pen cil. All my spelling talent went into the pencil My tongue forgot the art, and whether standing or sitting, could not spell a word unless it belonged to the simpler kind without using my pencil. Now l began to use the typewriter, and consequently had to learn how to spell
 again. Ask me how to spell word now and I will have to go to the typewriter unless the word is very simple one My tongue won't spell it and my pen cil will refuse to write it. So I have learned to spell three times, and as I said before am not good speller yet. !"
