the sale of dear books is the conviction OF M
c. X. Shorter, and he Illustrates his statement
by a mention of the four volumes of Froude's
"History"-those dealing with the reigns of
Henry VIII and Edward (which have been
included In Every Mans Library" Reasons
connected with copyright have forbidden the use
at present Of other portions of the History. p"
Nj Shorter believes that those who read these
newly published volumes Will go to the org-
nal publishers and buy the whole work He
holds. by the way. that many copies Of a
really admirable history or biography are sold
when the book is dear if it were cheap.

with some sort of concrete. In the

a bronze statue Of the god Kronos.

The Smooth Way.

In the last generation Tyler Cobb
Esq, was a well-known citizen OF
North Bridgewater-now Brockton-
Massachusetts,. He was famous
throughout Plymouth county, says q
contributor to the Boston Herald, for
his witty retorts and dry humor.
Never having taken a sea trip, Mr.
Cobb one day conceived the idea OF
making voyage to New York. Ac
cordingly he. sailed from Boston in a
small schooner.
The first day out a storm was en-.
countered and Mr.. Cobb became VIC
lently sick, but after several hours he
mustered up courage and strength to
look out upon the troubled waters.
As he looked from the side of the
little ship up the trough of the sea, II
seemed very smooth to him. The cap
tain's cutting of the waves was sense
less" he told himself.
But as this mad steering continued,
the unhappy passenger finally crawled
out, on hands and knees, to where the
captain stood at the wheel, and rails
ing his voice above the din Of waves
and wind, shouted:
Man. man, keep in the ruts, keep in
the ruts!"-Youth's Companion.

Amazing .Appetites.

The appetite of a whale is wonder,
full. His chief diet consists of jelly
fish He has simply to open his
mouth and paddle along leisurely in
order to take in jellyfish by. the cart
load. Such is the method adopted by
the whalebone whale. The sperm
whale, on the contrary, captures huge
shoals of fish, weighing often several
tons Like his brother, the whalebone
whale he must be constantly on the
lookout for food. Otherwise he would
starve. AS many as IA seals have been
taken from 30-feet killer" Other
fishes of enormous appetites are not
uncommon. The bluefish, for example
thrives on sardines and other small
fish. Most curious of all eaters is the
hydra, strange creature that can be
turned inside out without imparing
its appetite or its power to eat.

FIND A CURE IN BEE sTINas.
Undoubtedly Give Relief In Cases Of
rheumatism and Gout.

Not a cure for the stings of bees, but
the sting of bee as cure for some
thing else-namely, rheumatism or
goW. The belief that rheumatic pains
may be relieved by allowing a bee to
sting the affected part is prevalent in
widely distant lands. 1t has been
classed by many with other odd popu-
lar cures" such as splitting on the bot
tom OF stone to cure warts and so on
But there is no doubt that, in this case,
tradition is correct, for the bee cure
has been tested and reported upon too
often by reputable physicians to admit
of error.
An Oxford professor has recently
spent some time in tracing the origin
and history of this queer but effective
method of treatment. 1t first appears
in print, so far as he could find, about
fifty years ago in Partisan medical
Journal, in the shape of an account of
the experiences of French beekeeper
who, finding a rheumatic trouble Of
long standing relieved by the acciden-
tai sting of bee on his wrist, caused
bees to sting him in other parts of the
body, and so was cured. Since his day
the cure appears from time to time in
medical literature, often as a supposed
new discovery. 1t has been successful
ly employed In many parts of the
world. DR.. Fere, an Austrian physi-
clan, has a record of about seven hun
dred cases in which he has used it.
The sting causes considerable pain,
but this soon ceases, as the part be-
gins to swell, and after two or three
such treatments the rheumatism disap-
pears for six months Or so.
Evidently the sting acts as a natural
hypodermic injection, and the so-called
poison" contains the curative princi-
pie. A chief constituent of the fluid is
formic acid, but whether this or some
minor element is responsible for the
effect of the sting is not certainly
known.-Montreal Standard.
