WOMAN IN ODD BUSINESS
Makes Fair Income by Depriving Bees
of Their stinos, for Sale to
Druggists.

A correspondent of the Boston Her
aid tells of woman beekeeper IN
Auburn, Maine, who for more than q
quarter Of a century has derived .
good income, not from marketing the
honey, but from selling the .stings.
Manufacturing druggists buy them,
for each sting contains an infinitesi'
NAL quantity Of formic acid. which
druggists extract and sell.
When the woman begins the days
wo-k she lights peculiar lamp. which
throws Off q dense smoke. That stupe-
fies the bees, and she collects In box
as many as she thinks she Will need
for the day. She works in her dining
room with all the curtains drawn e1-
cept the one. at the window before
which she sits. Firmly fixed IN front
of her is a high-powered magnifying
glass.
She opens the box, gives 1t a shake.
and the bees come out. The light OF
the window in front Of her attracts
them. and they swarm upon It. She
reaches out with her left hand, plucks
a bee from the window and, holding
it under the glass, takes small pair
Of tweezers In her right hand and
draws the sting, She drops the sting
into a cup Of sugar Of milk in order
to preserve it. Then she kills the bee
by dropping it into cup Of soapsuds,
for a stingless bee Is of nos'worth In
the world. The stings are shipped
in glass bottles that hold five hundred
each. - - .s.cEH
The woman keeps count OF the stings
that she draws each day. On the
average she daily draws about nine
hundred. The greatest number she
ever drew in one dayEisshfteen hun

ments for Producing Milk in Vermont
While the figures obtained show the
requirements of producing milk In that
particular section, and may be approx

they do not apply to dairy sections
where other conditions and methods OF
management prevail. Il. ,s
It was found that Bill pounds Of

Making OF q Language.

That the slaag and idioms Of today
will be correct English tomorrow is
the opinion OF Prof. 81. Glicksman OF
the English department, University Of
Wisconsin. sour language is made up.
Of what was once slang, idiom, coll
loQuialism apA jargon," he said lately,
and warned that the only deplorable
feature about slang was Its tendency
to produce mental slovenliness. Pro-
fessor GlicEsman then referred to the
word "mob" as slang OF 200 years ago
and as such denounced in the Spec
tator'' by Addison. 1T is an abbrevi-
alton Of the word mobile Even so
the word pep IS vital and virile and
will survive with the word 'snappy.'
But to gain recognition slang must be
free from yulgarity and cheapness,"
said Professor Glicksman.

DENIES WOMAN IS MYSTERY
Man 10 Pulling Himself for Nothing,
10 Assertion Made by Writer
Of Gentle Sex. s.

After declaring to the reporters VINO
met him in New York that the women
Of today care for nothing but having
a good time and have assumed an ath-
tude Of pagan enjoyment, the English
essayist, Gilbert K. Chesterton, is re-
ported as moving majestieally along

ton to see about the baggage.

DON'T" he said, with a sweep OF his
stick. 2. 4.
It is evidents from the report that,
although wOman may have changed
much since before the war, as Mr..
Chesterton says, some Of the oldtime
masculine attitude toward them re-.
mains. May stranathan writes IN the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. In further proof
of this, the Englishman goes on to
speak in the same old prewar way
about the psychology ,of women, using
the familiar weEds, II speak reverent-
ly as Of q mystery, for a man never
knows what aew0man will do" and
then he tells how she will act under
certain circumstances. HI q s,.
The mystery about It IS not in the
psychology Of woman. but in the fact
that, having supposed that a woman
would act in 'rthe way most natural to
all humanity, he thinks 1t is mystert-
ons because woman does It. He
describes a man as likely to act the
same way under similar circum-
stances, but does not see any mys-
terry in the masculine point Of view.

Gas Warfare on Rats.

The chemical warfare service has
recently demonstrated that rats can
be killed with poison gas. A mixture
containing 80 per cent Of phosgene
and TO Of chlorine was used. This
was allowed to escape over an area
Of goo square feet. Fifteen rats were
on the area, and they Pall died from
the effect Of the deadly poisonous
gases. - l.
They were killed at cost Of 40
cents. WithiE Is minutes the phos'
gene had dissipated, while the chlor-
Inc gas required 80 minutes to diffuse
beyond the danger point. In view OF
the millions Of dollars loss caused
yearly by these pests, any means OF
destroying them is welcome.

Discovery Of a huge volcanic crater

Justice to the Redbuq.

Many times the bedbug has been
accused Of transmitting disease, but
the investigating scientist Of the
United States public health service
says the bug apparently has been
charged with wrongdoing when not
guilty, as the pest has no way save
the mouth in which to carry germs
and is too busy eating to make mouth
germs of any special danger. How
ever, the flea, louise and mosquito have
been convicted Of being disease car
riers.

Her will was drawn by one of the officers
of the Provident Life & Trust Co, of
Philadelphia, and this company named
