Bee STINCS CURE
FOR RHEUMATISM
Wealthy Brewer Receivers After
Three Weeks Treatment.

ilopelessly crippled for two years
by rheumatism. William r. Fitzgerald.
wealthy brewer of Ansonia. Conn.
has been cured by exposing himself
to the attack of the bees.
Leaving hospital n month ago,
when all remedies failed, Mr.. Fltzger-
aid tried the bee experiment as final
resort. 4 friend who had benefited by
like treatment suggested IL to him.
4 hive OF bees chartered in the
garret of Mr. Fitzgerald's home daily
divided their time between gathering
honey and hurying their weapons in
their owner At times the bees would
not sting until angered by poking.
Their stabs caused severe pain in the
patients arms and legs. but he sul-
fered heroically. After three weeks of
the treatment he is able to walk with
ont crutchos.
Medical journals recently have been
discussing bees as a cure and stated
that their sting neutralized the acid,
an excess OF which causes rheumatism
and gouty affections. The value of the
cure was, however. doubted. Mr.. Fitz.

Crab Makes Its own Wig.

There is a small crab found upon
the English coast that is SO afraid Of
his enemies that he has found out. or
has perhaps been taught. n clever way
to hide himself.
The writer once saw one Of these
crabs which was kept as q pet, and
he was lucky enough 10 visit him
when he was in the very act of max
ing his wig. The crab first tore of
a piece of green, ribbon-like sea-
weed with his pincers, and put one
end in his mouth.
This he sucked and nibbled and
moistened with some kind of glue
that hardens under water. and then
he pressed the sticky end upon his
back. BY and by his broad back
was covered with a regular green and
waving wig so that as he crawled
about he looked like n bunch of sea-
Weed in gentle motion.
We must suppose that he makes a
very sweet mouthful for a hungry
fish, and that he makes the wig to
preserve him from being gObbled up.
From time TO time the wig requires
repairing, of course.-Raja Yoga Mes
