Making the World Go Round.

The sweet, simple. homely happen.
ings that are the vital things In whit h
men and women are universally inter
ested. Fine writings and doings are
all very well in way. but most peo.
pie like frankness and a plain story
told without frills and furbelows. It
is the little upremembered acts of
charity and blindness that count. The
hale. hearty, good mornings. and the
tender good nights. the smile, the
warm handshake, the ''old fellow. I'll
stick by you, and the slap on the
back. These be the things we live
and die by. Little of the tragic or

of daily joys and Borrowings, our
secret yearnings. hallowed hopes, and
these are the things that make our

QUEEN BEES WORTH $500 EACH
Some Of the italian Insects Are ex.
tremely Valuable,

Just as there are valuable strains
in horses. cattle and other stocks On
there are varieties of queen bees
winch are worth many hundred times
their weight in gold. The most vain
able strain, says the New Yorl
Herald, is the Italian, and many Ital
ian bce farmers demand and receiv,
without question prices ranging from
$50 to $500 for single queen bee of &
certain kind. Such bees are sent al
over the world.
The owner OF a bee farm near ty
tawa, Can. goes to Europe annual,
and brings back with him bees of ar
aggregate va.ue of thousands O
pounds. He is enabled through tho
agency of an Italian firm to effect NJ
insurance upon the most valuable O.
his queens.
This bee farmer has many strang,
experiences in connection with III,
assistants he is obliged to engage. O.
course all bee keepers must submit tC
a certain amount of stinging. Bu
in some cases the poison in the stint
acts directly upon the assistants an,
makes them alarmingly i'll. other.
are immune, though ttung hundreds O
times.
Bee farmers are often applied TO b,
persons suffering from rheumatism
who wish to place themselves in th,
way OF being stung. And, strange a.
1t may seem, the virus of the bee stint
does often act as a cure to person,
suffering from serious attacks of rheu
matism.

Some farmers think they ere max

feeding corn and alfalfa. Alfalfa and
corn and clover and corn are ccmbi
nations that cannot be excelled for
cattle feeding and fattening. provided
they can be obtained at a reasonable

greatly reduces the per ton cost oi

THE AFTER-pINNER ORATOR.
English Innovation Has Many Good
Points to Recommend II


A London club, the Bartholomew
gave its annual banquet the other day.
The postprandial orators were con.
splcuous by their silence. Not a
speech was made. When the banuuet
had reached the oratorical stage little
books were distributed among the
guests and in these booklets were
printed the speeches of the gentle
men who had accepted invitations to
respond to toasts. London Truth says
this banquet was an epoch.making af-
fair. 1t was certainly a unique one
and not unworthy of imitation on this
side OF the Atlantic. The Bartholo-
new club of London has established
precedent which ought not to be
ignored in the United States because
OF its English origin. The banquet
Is entitled TO some consideration and

February is n month of severe storms
and intense cold.
Even in the South where the prevail
ing temperature is much above wintry
latitudcs, February brings sudden
changes OF temperature.
Mercury sometimes drops 20 degrees
in a single night.
Therefore. the following health hints
are applicable to the whole of North
America:
psnHLsfion.
The sleeping rooms should be well
ventilated, but SO as TO avoid direct
currents of air.
Bsfbins.
Those In vigorous health should take
cold water towel bath every morning
before breakfast. Those in feeble
health should take n brisk dry-towel-
rub every morning.
DIET
The diet should be n generous one,
including meat, and occasionally fresh
vegetables.
Sunshine.
The nights being long and the days
short, as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during
the day.
Ciofhfns
The head should be kept cool at al
times. The feet should be kept warn
and dry, day and night.
pe-rg-na
When unavoidably exposed to cold ol
wet, few doses of Peruna will aver
bad consequences.
Prceauffo1.
| When seized with chill. or ever
slight chilliness, n dose OF Peruns
should be taken at once.

WAS CURED RAPIDLY
RHEUMATISM IN TWO SEVERE GASES
MASTERED IN FEW WEEKS.
The Remedy Used by MIR. schroeppei and
by Captain IAlfour in Great Demand In
Vicinity OF Their Homes.

The Remedy Used by Mr.. schroeppei md
by Captain LAfour in Great Demand in
Vicinity OF Their Homes.
In the winner Of 1902 3 Mr.. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by severe at.
tack Of rheumatism. His doctors treat
ment proved unsuccessful, hut he subse-
quentlv regained his health by means
which he describes with great enthu-
siasm.
"After five or six weeks Of helpless.
ness aud pain. said he, during which
was receiving regular visits from the
doctor. felt as bad as ever. just then
my mother. woman eighty years Of
age, paid mo visit. She had received
great benefit from DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and she was confident they would
help me. At her solicitation l gave mp
the doctors treatment and took the pills
in its place"
"And were you cured as the result of
taking her advice?"
"Yes, quickly aud thoroughly. Be.
fore the second box was finished l felt
very manifest improvement, and within
two weeks | was able to leave my bed and
take up my neglected. farm work. l con-
tinued to use the pills, however. until
eight boxes had been taken, although
long before that felt that every YES
tige of the disease had been eradicated.
"Aro there no traces left?"
absolutely none. For year and
three months there has never been tho
slightest return of the old trouble. For
this happy result and my family freely
praise DIR. Williams Pink Pills"
Within the bounds of China township,
st. Clair county, Mich, there is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry
Schroeppel. His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted great deal of attention.
One of Mr.. Schroeppei's neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing of the
salutary results in Mr.. Schroeppel's S case,
decided to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for an attack of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes aud now declares himself
free from the painful nilment."
1t is little wonder that DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are much i'll favor in the com.
munity where Mr.. Schroeppel and Cap
tain Balfour are so well and favorably
known. They are sold by all druggists
and are equally successful in curing
neuralgia, sciatica and partial paralys sis.
