Bee atlnQ Fatal.

That the sting OF a bee may. In
certain circumstances. prove fatal
within few minutes is shown by the
death Of MIR. w. M. Rhind. builder.
Of Fulham road. London. who died
from shock within half an hour of the
time he was stung. 1t was stated that
Mr.. Rhind, who was robust man Of
about forty years Of age. was afraid
Of bees. as he had been severely stung
when young boy. 1T Ia remarkable
indeed, for death to have taken place
so soon after the man received the
sting" said a medical specialist. THE
only explanation is that the shock
was made overpoweringly acute by
reason of an overmastering dread of a
sting Just as unexpected good news
has proved fatal almost instantly, so
bee sting-a little thing to normal
mind---could be fatal II the fear that
accompanied 1t was sufficiently
strong"

Hungarian Banks.

Paul Nash, the American consul gen
eral at Budapest, in his report to the
department, reviewing financial con-
ditions in Hungary, shows that every
branch of industry in that country is
financed by banking concerns; run.
ming from the manufacture Of ma
chinery to the export Of nuts, and yet
there has been only one bank failure
of Importance In 40 years. The assist
ance of the banks Is necessity for
Hungarian industry because the In
dividual investor, as In most agricul-
tural countries, does not regard manu-
featuring with any degree of enthusi.
asm, and but for the banks and the
government little progress would be
made toward industrial independence

Suggestion for Grating Trees.

Waxing is one Of the most impor-
tant factors in successful grating.
The work must be done carefully,
that the scions be not disturbed, and
completely. that all air and moisture
shall be excluded. A very good wax
Ia made by melting together four
pounds Of resin. two pounds of bees
wax and one pound of tallow. When
melted pour into a tub of cold water
to COOL then pull. the same as for
taffy, until 1t is of clear golden col
or. OF course grating should be done
on warm, bright days; otherwise the
wax hardens so quickly 1t is difficult
to do the work we'll. Young trees may
be retopped in single season; tree
eight to ten years old In two years.

mo" CHILDREN
THEY ARE EITHER ILL OR POOR
~ NouRisHED.
New Scientific Pedaoogics Declares
the Normal Child 10 Interested,
Alert, Bright Minded and
Full of Physical vlvacity.

In many ways the world Is growing
less cruel. For this we must largely
thank the scientific spirit which is
daily recognizing more and more OF
the affairs Of life which belong to its
department. 1t Is coming into fashion
not to kick the man who Is down, but
to call committee to inquire into
why he is down and that leads natu-
rally to helping him up. The new
| method Ii to be welcomed most Of all
as 1t bears upon the destinies OF little
children.
The new scientific pedagogics no
longer divides children summarily into
good and bad. stupid and clever. On
the contrary. 1t takes close cognizance
of the wonderful relation between
mind and body, stomach and brain
and learns thereby that persons, and
above all children, are much more nat
urally divided into the sick or the
we'll, the hungry or the fed. the weak
or the strong.
Both in this country and in Europe
Investigations Of this matter have
been made, with significant results.
One fact proved by them is that there
Is no such thing as lazy" child. The
normal child is interested, alert, bright
minded, full Of waking curiosities
about the world into which he has
come and endowed with m almost I'M
Quenchable physical vivacity. What,
then Is the matter with the little. In
ert, stupid. dull-eyed creatures for.
ever at the bottom Of the class. who
never put question or seem to pass
given point?
The matter Is that they are I'LL.
Some Of them are hungry, and 1t Is as
hopeless to expect child to study
we'll wheu he needs food a. 1t would
be to expect fire that needs fuel to
burn we'll. The hunger may be due
to an actual lack Of food or 1t may
be that the teeth are In such poor con-
dition that the child cannot chew and
therefore does not digest. Or 1t may
be that the food offered to 1t at home
10 entirely unsuited to its needs.
Some Of the children cannot hear
we'll and some cannot see. They do
not complain because they do not
know what Is the matter. They ac-
cept constant rebuke and defeat with
the dumb mystincation OF ignorance.
Many Of them have never drawn one
natural breath since their birth, ow-
Ing to the presence of enlarged ton
Bils and adenoids.
These children can never compete
with their fellows until all these hin.
ORANGES have been rer'oved. Some
recent Investigations made by a
French physician show that among
we'll nourished children only 10 per
cent. have physical defects, while
among the poorly nourished over &C
per cent. suffer from these defects.
This question OF feeding Is being
met in many cities both here and
abroad by the supplying of substan.
tial luncheon either free or at a nom.
inal cost.--Youth's Companion.

MAKING A RIFLE FIT BETTER
Have the Tangs on the Frame Bent
Down Until You Have the Drop
You Want, Says Expert.

Compare the rifle and the shotgun
and you will almost invariably ma
the rife has much less drop OF stock
than has the gun. This is, of course,
due to the rifle makers not wanting
to carry a large assortment of rifles
fitted with stocks Of different shapes,
perhaps following the idea that most
people have that a shotgun must mt,
but any old rife is good enough. And
that Is what most of them get. Also,
If you'll watch the owner handle the
gun and the rifle you'll find there Is
a big difference With the gun built
for him he keeps his head up and
his eye on the target. With the rifle
he puts his head down and hunts for
the sights--and even then complains
of over-shooting. 1t doesn't occur to
him that this is due to the too high
modern front sight and the too
straight stock.
There ia only one way to remedy
this latter difficulty without giving up
your last cent to have a special stock
built for you. Simply have the tangs
on the rifle frame bent down until
you have the drop you want-that
ID, the one that brings the sights in
line SO that you wouldn't be both
cred where you couldn't see the sights
but could see the outlines of the
game. | have had this done on sew
eral Of my rifles. 1t costs something
less than 81. And last fall every
guide and native from New Brunswick
to the Smokes that saw and handled
my 1856 H. " wanted 1t. They all
spoke Of the way the sights aligned
but they didn't know why they did
! have only had the change made on
several "a and '92 model Winchesters
I'm not at all sure that 1t can be done
on the '95 model or any other make
Of rife. I believe. however it will
pay the hunter who is troubled with
over-shooting to look into the matter
and see II he can have his rifle al
tered in this way.-W. M. Newson in
Recreation.

Encourage Laughter.

A famous doctor once said. En-
courage your child to be merry and to
laugh abound. A good hearty laugh ex.
pands the chest and makes the blood
bound merrily along. Commend me
to a good laugh-not to little. snig-
Cling laugh. but to one that will
sound all through the house. 1t will
not only do your child good. but will
be q benent to all who hear, and be
an important means Of driving the
blues away from dwelling. Merri-
ment 10 very catching, and spreads in
remarkable manner, few being able
to resist the contagion. A hearty
laugh 10 delightful harmony; indeed,
It Il the most pleasing Of ell music. :"

Origin Of Trial by Jury.

Whence comes the system of trial
BY jury? In the opinion Of Bourguig-
non, a French jurist, Its origin loses
itself In the night OF time" Black
stone speaks of 1t as "a trial that hath
been used time out of mind" Reeves
thinks 1t was introduced into England
by the Normans, who themselves OBJ
tained 1t from Northern Europe 1t
10 certain that the Scandinavians had
An established Jury system more than
thousand years ago. The Normans
on their arrival In England found pre-
vailing there the ordeal of hot irons,
which enforced the carrying Of a
pound of heated metal by the accused
for given distance, and the ordeal
of hot water, In which by way Of
variation stone had to be withdrawn
from pitcher Of boiling water. No
attempt at reform in this direction
was made by William the Conqueror.

COST HIM MONEY TO FALL
BalIoonist Drops In at Football Game

Dr.. Eldridge. the Philadelphia aero

ed for money, and he says the efforts
to get a paying crowd would shame
the energy of the circus proprietor.
Apropos of his thought, he told the
following story.
"A certain balloonist, who had met
with some sort of mishap and who
was compelled to come down in a
hurry, and with little choice of land

THE field on which he fell was
being devoted to a football game be-

kled with water, the managers OF the
teams came to him and demanded
that he pay so cents.
