ABOUT HANDLING BEES.
Frequent Stings Render a Person I'm
muae Against the Poison.

Washington will recall q set OF
moving pictures which shows the
b indling of bees without apparent
danger" said scientist at the Depart
ment of Agriculture this morning.
!"It is a fact beyond dispute that a
Iparson who has been often stung by
lbees becomes absolutely immttne to the
Ipoison.
"When | first began handling bees |
was frequently stung, ssand each sting
was accompanied with acute. pain, but
as time went On the pain and swelling
became less. In the following year,
while transferring a.bive of bees, Il had
an experience which is the basis. Of
| this story.
I'm handling my bees sting after
sting followed in legs. arms, fingers,
neck and face. | imagined what a
picture | would present-closed eyes
aud swollen hands and feet-and then
| it did not seem to pain as much, and
at last flushed the task. With aeh-
ing head, slight nauseau and vertigo
slowing coming on, | left my task
with sigh of relief. but filled with
wonder as to what my.personal ap-
pearance would be.
''Imagine my astOnishment TO find
merely slightly raised red spots, like
little pimples, with the red sting in
the center, as the result of each aud
|every sting. | must have had some
thing like fifty of them IN various parts
of my body. My clothes were full OF
them. The dizziness, nausea and head
ache soon left me, and l was myself
again.
when again visited my bees did
not dread the stinging properties any
longer, and ever since l have found
that when u bee does sting me the pain
is only sharp for an instant. and there
is an absence Of the after swelling.
have since been stung many more times
than was at that time, and yet none
of the symptoms above referred to has
been reproduced. Am l not, there
fore, immune of the honey bee s poison
to a certain extent +?
"All authorities On bee cnlture state
the fact, as a crumb of comfort to
no vices in beekeeping, that the poison
of a bee will produce less and less ef-
feet upon their systems. Hush speaks
Of seeing the bald head of Bonner. q
celebrated apiarist, covered with
stings. which seemed to produce upon
him no unpleasant effeet.' Rev. Mr..
Kleine advises beginners to allow
themselves to be stung frequently as
surfing them that in two. seasons their
systems will become accustomed to
the poison, ,,or at least immune against
| it, and this fact is no more to be doubt
ed than that vaccination is preven
tive against smallpox. "-Washington

ALL BOW TO" "OMEKs"
Superstition is Rampant in Chicago
Today.

Would you start on journei on Fri
day? Would yon look at he new
moon over your left shoulder Would
| you walk under ladder ?
Mrs. John O'ConDor. told the mem
bers of the League of Religious Eel
lowship that the average person would
not. She declared that superstition
exists today as it did in the dark ages,
but that now neither fancy nor ter.
r)r marks the forms of superstitions
as they exist In the civilized world,
but rather a nameless something which
often influences and sometimes con.
trols the everyday acts of men.
Mrs. O'Connor named the following
''evil omens' as those which still are
needed even in practical Chicago:
The number 13.
Spllling salt and the antidote, throw
ing salt over the left shoulder.
Starting Oil journey or commenc
ing anything on Friday.
Picking up PIN with the point to
ward you.
Walking under ladder.
Getting out of bed on the wrong side.
Turningiback after you have start
ed on journey.
Stumblingiup stairs.
Seeing the moon over the left should
e..
Falling of family portrait.
Breaking looking. glass.
Howling of dog under a sick per-
SON. window.
Passing horseshoe without picking
it up.
Defying fate by saying you are new
er sick; antidote, touching wood or
rapping under the table.
Seeing pin and letting it lie.
Giving knife or other sharp article
to a friend and a penny with tit keep
it from cutting the friendship.
Other members of the league con-
tribute the following. which they say
are believed in today:
Dropping fork means woman is
coming.
Dropping a knife means man is
coming.
Dropping a spoon means a letter Is
coming.
Two forks at your plate mean you
will have company.
Two spoons forecast.an engagement.
Bubbles on your coffee mean money,
80 do leaves in tea.
Ii you hang hairpin on hook you
are sure to have company.
Mrs. OConnor declared that number
13 had come to be so generally regard
ed as an omen of evil that many hotels
and steamships had no rooms so num-
bered.
''Those l have named are only tie
most common evil OInens," she said.
sThere are scores of others. You
probably all know someone who CAL
ries horse chestnut in his pocket or
wears an iron ring on one of his fing.
ers, or a nutmeg around his neck to
prevent rheumatism.

tions, but we create and foster the
same spirit in our children. Old moth
er goose and and a little later the for
tune as told by the buttons-from the
cradle to the school fables of ghosts

Concluding Mrs. O'Connor declared
"People of unquestiOnabie veracity
and intelligence have testified to the
seeing of ghosts. Psychologists have
called such visions hallucinations, bu'
N, ,sticism still fascinates. The for
tune teller and the palmlst are still
consulted and astrOlOgers still practice
their mystic art. This seems incon
gruous in an age of materialism. y

Appendicitis Averted.

Medical Talk for the Home in ii
May issue contains the following
which may be of interest to our read
ers ct some future time
There is story going the rounds
that when Sir Thomas Upton. thu
owner of the yacht Shamrock, wal
last in our country that be came very
near having appendicitis. 1t was re-
ported In the public press at the time
that he was about TO be operated up0r
for appendicitis in New York City.
1.-The story has it that the physic
ians who attended Sir Thomas Lipton
agreed that he had appendicitis. There
was some hesitation about operating
upon him, partly owing to his condi
tion of health, and partly to the world
wide attention that would be attract
ed to the subject in case of failure.
"a distinguished surgeon was called
in constellation, and he made-a most
extraordinary proposition. He sug-
gested that before any operation was
attempted that they try an injection
into the colon of equal parts OF com
mon molasses and milk. These were
to be heated to temperature OF 100
degrees F., or about the same temper
ature as the human body. A pint and
a half of milk added to pint and a
half of molasses constituted the whole
injection.
'This, by means of a flexible tube,
was injected into the colon, high up.
The injection is supposed to traverse
the colon and reach the caecum, which
is that potion of the colon where the
vermiform appexdix is situated.
1.-The astonished physicians in charge
finally consented to try this remedy.
The injection was given and immedi-
ately there passed away a large accu-
mutation of decomposed feces, which
gave Sir Thomas immediate relief.
This obviated the necessity of an ope-
ration with the knife.
"The name of the surgeon who sug-
gested this injection is not given, but
it is stated that he said, when recon-
mending the injection, that Sir Andrew
Clark, distinguished surgeon in Eng
land, invariably used this Injection
before be would permit a surgical
operation. In nine cases out OF ten
the injection will cure appendicitis
and make an operation superduous.
"Surely it is not a very difficult
experiment to perform, and undoubt-
edly would be perfectly harmless. We
would, therefore, advise our readers
who may sometime in the future hap
pen to be interested in case of appen-
dicitis to note carefully this remedy.
Equal parts Of milk and molasses.
heated to the temperature of the body.
Three pints in quantity. Injected high
up into the colon by the use OF tiex:-
bic rubber tube and syringe. The body
in a recum bent posture, lying on the
right side with the hips slightly ele-
waited. The injection to be given very
slowly.
1--WE should certainly advise this
experiment in any case Of suspected
appendicitis before an operation ls
permitted. 1t will do no harm even il
it does no good, and the cleansing
power of both milk and molasses
makes it extremely probable that II
will prove to be great remedy il
these cases"
