TOWNS ARE BUILT TO oRDEE
English Contractor on Educational
Tour Of United States Sees
Many Strange Sights.

As another example of the large
scale upon which things are done in
America, a builder who has been taxi
ing an educational tour in the United
States told of the towns that are rap
idly built on the great western plains,
says Casters Journal.
There contractor is ordered to
build a town just as in Europe he
might be asked to build house or a
public building. So common is the
feat that one land agent may build as
many as 20 towns in few months.
each with it's waterworks, its court
house, and other public buildings COM
plete.
The towns thus built to order differ,
of course, from the old boom towns
las they were called which sprang
up literally in day, and now and
again disappeared almost as rapidly.
These boom townss were generally
the result of rush of settlers eager to
acquire shares in a tract of free land.
One day such tract would be a bar
rem plain, and on the next town Of
several hundred people.
The rapidity with which town is
built is due largely tp the existence OF
what are called frame houses
wooden dwellings SO constructed that
they can be easily transported from
one place to another, and put together
in a few hours.

QUEER RHEUMATISM CURE
for Af1iction--AgenJs Out
in Force.

After long experiments by bacterial
ogists in their employ an incorporated
firm of wholesale chemists of Phi1adel-
phia has sent agents to Texas with in
structions to obtain all the bee singers
they can for medicinal purposes. An
offer for $4,000 singers was placed
with one bee farmer in that state.
A serum for injection through the
skin will be made from the potent fluid
with which the tiny weapons are
charged. OF stingers efficacy for the
cure of rheumatism the chemists say
their experiments have left no doubt.
The tale of how scientists hit upon
the idea of experimenting with the
stingers is told thus: A farmer af-
ficted with rheumatism was set upon
by swarm of bees and frightfully
stung. His face. neck and limbs were
covered with red spots and swollen for
days When the swelling subsidized, to
the farmers delight, the rheumatism
was cured
special laboratory is being con-
structed near Philadelphia for the
transformation of the bee stingers in
to-a serum

Hint for Mothers.

Doctorsrecommend giving very young
children certain amount of hard food
40 bite on. Hard candy is better for q
child than creams and chocolates, be-
cause the former has to be chewed well
before it can be swallowed. This has
a double advantage. The well-masti-
Gated candy is easier digested, and the
child has exercised important muscles
Half the children on the Atlantic coast
have adenoid growths in their throats
or suffer with some other throat
growth This is said to be largely due
In the first place to artificial feeding,
when they are babies, and later to too
much soft food. The proper develop
mentsof the throat depends on exercise
ofthe neck and Jaw muscles. Y. Post.

There was a very exciting time
Friday evening about 8 o'clock in the
| lower part of the village, caused by
| runaway. Calvin Harding, clerk at
| the local station, and his lady friend
Of Watertown drove to the depot here
| with an outfit owned by Mr. McCleary
of the above place. The horse, which
| had been hitched nearby broke loose,
and, hearing it, they Immediately
went out AS they again got into the
carriage the horse acted very strange
| ~ and the young lady was told to
alight. She had no sooner done so
| than the impatient animal dashed the
carriage from side to side and landed
the driver on a heap of cfnders near
| by. The latter appeared at fist to be
seriously injured and a physician was
called for without delay. In an I'm
slant the fugitive beast, going at full
speed, was taking the sharp corners
under the railroad bridge Instead of
following the road he entered into
McLean's yard, dashed the carriage
against Bodens stone door steps and
thrust his head through window,
breaking sash and all. This was
perhaps caused by the sudden turn
given to the shafts when the front
wheels struck the stone steps. He
broke the fence near the pine tree in
attempting to jump it and then turned
around to make the circuit of Nc
Leans house, when he was finally
stopped. Mr. Harding was uncon
scious for some little time after his
/ fall. The horse was badly
i cut by the window pane be
