POISON IN BEE STING.

When a bee stings it gives its vic
tim hypodermic injection of an
irritant poison. This is the bees
defense against its enemies. In
the abdomen of the bee lies a
gland which secretes the poison.
This passes down to a double
bulb in which it is stored until need
ed. From the bulb a slender tube
passes through the sharp sting
which lies in a sheath. When the
bee stabs its sting into the skin OF
the man the muscles squeeze the bulb
of poison and drop of this ia
squirted into the wound.

United states Takes official Rec 1g-
milton of the Claims Of Dr..
Frederick f. Friedman.
New York. n. Y, Feb. 26.-Tne
United States government took official
recognition Of the claim Of DR.. Fred
erick F. Friedman to the discovery Of
a cure for tuberculosis when, by the
order Of the surgeon general, a ply
sician Of the United States Marine
hospital, Dr. Milton II. Foster, was
sent to meet the young German ply
stefan on his arrival aboard the steam
ship KrOnprinzen Cecelie. At the re-
quest Of the surgeon general, Dr..
Friedman consented to turn over
quantity of this bacilli to be tested by
physicians of the hospital corps.
DR.. Friedman, who comes to this
country at the invitation Of Chas. Fin
ley, a New York banker, who hopes
the physician viii be able to cure MS
son-in-Iaw, Ray Paris, of this city, de-
clared the remedy was not a secret.
It consisted of bacili taken from a
turtle into which tubercular baciln
from a human being had been injected,
he explained.
Il have been working upon the cure
for IA years and in the last two and
a half years I have treated from $500
to 5000 patients" he asserted
How many I have absolutely cured
I cannot estimate. but their number
has run into the hundreds The
remedy cures all forms of tubercu-
losis except such cases that are quite
hopeless, that is on the point of death.
the process is a slow one, but the
effects are to be seen two or three
weeks after incubation. The time
when an absolute cure can be said
to be effected is a matter Of months
The method of administering is 90
percent of the cure.
Il want all mankind q benefit by
my discovery. 1 already have turned
over some Of my bacilli to the Ger
man government and am very glad
to turn it over to the American gov
eminent"

Lavender Raaa.

When you buy lavender, be sure
that you are getting only the flowers
the tiny dried blossoms with no in
termixture of stems and leaves-for
the fragrance will last twice as long
If you buy 1udiciously. The prettiest
bags are made about three inches wide
and four inches long, made OF gauZe
ribbon with the edges fringed instead
Of hemmed. II 1t is three-inch rib
bon you can simply fasten the edges
together with some fancy stitch, and
the bag will be finished quickly. But
a daintier way is to use inch-wide rib
bon, which usually has a finer and
more delicate design, and faggot the
three widths together with the finest
twisted embroidery silk. Then tie
the mouth of the bag with narrow sat
in ribbon the shade OF the faggoting;
make light bow with five or six fly
away loops and ends, and send your
bag In a little box SO that the rib
bon will not be crushed on the way.

she thought of the kindly deeds he

were many, and one concrete deed Of

HAS HOME THAT is UNIQUE
Remarkable DomlcIIe Provided by the
Government for Use of Ono Of
Its Officials.

Many people are quite happy in the
homes in which they live; many more
of the millions of New Workers wish
that their lives had been cast in diff
ferent places; but 1t is safe to say that
even the most satisfied individual
would envy the home Of one resident
of New York. a resident who lives on
no street, alley, or avenue; has no
neighbors; neither owns his home nor
pays rent.
Out on the extreme end Of one Of
the longest piers in the Hudson river
there is perched a tiny building,
wrought Of corrugated iron, and re-
sembling more nearly a bomb-proof
shelter than a peaceable dwelling.
This strange little apartment, never
theless, is fitted with all the COM
forts and luxuries that combine to
make a bachelors existence suffer
able. Rich paper sheaths the walls,
heavy carpets lie underfoot, piano
stands in the corner, capacious
leather chairs offer the comfort Of
quiet ease, while an excellent man
servant obeys and anticipates the
slightest whim.
The occupant of this small domicile
is a naval officer on extended fur
Tough, who controls and directs the
multifarious industries of the pier,
welcomes the great ocean liners as
they warp into their havens, dis
patches them as they are towed out
into the rivers food, attends to every
want of the transatlantic travellers,
and holds absolute dominion over his
little maritime world.
