IqETS stung daily.
Practice of an Iowa Man to Ward
Off Rheumatism.
S»y» There la Little Proflt In Be*
Culture Nowndaya nntl Keep*
Apiary Solely to Prevent
Dread Dlaenee.
j Receiving the stings of bees dally to
prevent rheumatism would not be a pop
ular remedy among people generally,
lyet Myron G. Beals, of Sioux City, la.,
has been a bee culturist for years only
for the benefit which he says he receives
physically from the stings of his busy
Insects.
Mr. Beals is one of the largest pro
ducers of honey in this country, having
.several hundred hives. Of late years he
h&B expressed a desire td retire from the
business of an apiarist, and would dc
so but for the fears that if the stings ol
his bees upon his body are not contin
ued, after his system has become inoc
ulated with the virus, he will become 8
helpless cripple from rheumatism.
Mr. Beals is sincere in his belief, and
points to the fact that his mother, whc
lives in the east, is an Invalid from rheu
matism, and a sister is a cripple from
the same disease. It is in the family
blood, he maintains, and the stings ol
his bees are his only salvation.
“There is no proflt in the honey bust
'Bess any more,” said Mr. Beals, “espe
cially In the west. The country has
grown and settled up so that the wild
flowers are almost extinct, and the
bees have few sources of supply foi
their raw material. I suppose I shall
keep my bees, however, as long as I
live.
“It is a fact known to the medical pro
fession that the sting of the bee has vir
tue in a curative way, and the vires cat
be bought at the drug stores. I scarce
ly notice the stings of the bees any more
,as far as the pricking sensation is con
cerned. It used to be painful, but nos
,1 can receive stings all over my head
face and arms and scarcely notice it.
“Bee stings have killed many humat
beings, as well as cattle and horses. II
« person not accustomed to stings wen
to receive as many as I do at one tlm<
II don’t believe he would survive th<
experience. I believe the effect of be
Ing Inoculated with the poison of th<
fbee is like having the system Ailed witt
•fcoohol or any narcotic—the more yoi
(have had of it the more you can stand
"There is nothing in the statement
Itket it is .possible to handle bees in i
careful or 'kind way and avoid be inf
•tung. I have been in the business foi
A good many years, and know they ari
no respecters of persons. You are ap
to get stung when you are not expectins
It. When one bee in a swarm stings yoi
you are almost certain to be stung agaii
•nd again, for there is a certain odo:
which seems to come from a sting tha
Attracts other bees and angers them
The more you fight a swarm the mori
you will be stung, for bees are peculiarly
subject to excitement.
“Bee culture is one of the most fas
einlating studies. It is an interestini
science. I understand how to care foi
them, and want their stings. I have oc
easlonal rheumatic twinges in my mus
eles that give me anxiety for fear I shal
be subjected to the fate of other mem
bers of our family, and I shall not rui
any chances by letting go of my bees.”

The vereatile kaiser of Germany, 01
a recent visit to Dantsig, investigate,
workmen's homes and manner of lif
and chatted with the men employed li
the government arms manufactory
The kaiser aaked the men what ren
they paid, When told, he exclaimed
“It is much too high.”
The kaiser inquired whether the gov
ernment factory provided kitchen
where the midday lunches could b
warmed. The kaiser said to a membe
of his suite: “These kitchens are as nec
esary to workmen as for us, for work
men have Just as sensitive stomachs a
we and like their food warm instead o
cold. Besides, their wives don’t have t
bring their husbands warm dinner:
They can remain at home to attend t
the child.” The result of the kaiser’
visit will be kitchens installed In all gov

I
IDEAL IN HOUSEKEEPING.
Nur of ths Old Coatoma and C«aa»
dltlona Are I’aaalaaic Entire
ly Away.
A generation ago to be an Ideal house
keeper was the chief ambition of almost
every woman. No girl desired a fairer
fate than to be placed at the head of a
household with a good and loving hus
band to supply all her wants and make
her the mistress and the queen of his
heart and his home. In most cases, says
the Peoria Herald Transcript, the girl
who started housekeeping had more or
less experience in theart under the tuition
of her mother. She loved to decorate and
beautify the house which was to be her
home during the rest of her earthly pil
grimage. She loved to create delicacies
for her husband and her children, and,
disguise it as we may, much of the af
fection she received was due entirely to
her skill as a homemaker. When her
children grew up around ner this kind
and sympathetic mother and the pantry
were the chief attractions in their world.
As they grew older the ties only grew the
stronger. When they acquired families
of their owe ths old homsstesd, with
Its abundance of good things, still had
attractions ter them. The kind old
mother was still their best friend. She
knew all the difficulties they had to en
counter in starting homes of their own,
and her advice and sympathy were
worth more to them than gold. The
grandchildren came to venerate her as a
sort of venerable goddess, and when
she finally went away from the home
circle she left a vacancy which could
never be filled.
But we are assured with every symp
tom of rejoicing that these conditions
are passing; that women have been
emancipated; that In the future they are
to be the rival, instead of the helpmate,
of man, and that they must combine to
enforce their just demands against the
hostility of the male sex. This is non
sense pure and simple. It may be trus
that there are more mannish women in
this generation than there were In ths
last It Is unfortunately true that a
larger proportion of the female popula
tion has been forced to be self-support
ing, but it is not true that women enjoy
the so-called "liberty” which goes with
tolling for a living.
The home Instinct Is too deeply
planted In the heart of women to be re
moved by the effects of a generation ol
club work. It will never he removed. A
few women may go after strange gods,
but the natural, wholesome girl will still
find her highest Ideal of happiness in
a good husband and a cozy home. Ths
dubs may succeed In making such homes
Impossible to a few men and women by
making the young women feel that they
have a more Important work In the
world than the prosaic duty of home
making, but among the masses of ths
American people the mother will con
tinue to be the bond which unites the
unities of that holy Institution the fam
ily, and she will continue In this exalted
role until the end of all things.
WHAT DROVE HIM TO DRINK.
Ska Was Happy and Yet Tnere was
an Awfnl Possibility Op
pressing Her.
“Darling,” he said, as he placed hli
arm around her waist and drew her ten
derly to his breast, relates the New York
Times, “why those pearly tears? Is the
home that I have brought you to less
I magnificent than you expected?”
“Oh, n-no,” she sobbed. “It la g-grand«
ar than I dared to h-hope.”
“Have you found since our marriage
that I am less exalted than you had sup
posad me to be?”
“Oh, F-Fred, you are a th-thousand
times more exalt-t-ted than I thought
you to b-be.”
Stooping down he kissed away two
large tears that were trembling upon her
! long, graceful lashes, and asked:
; “Has It grieved you to be taken from
your parents and the scenes of your
childhood, little one.”
“No, no, dear-dearest,” she replied.
“I would g-gladly go anywhere w-wlth
you."
“Great heavens!" he cried, in wild
alarm. "Perhaps you are ill. Tell me,
is it so, sweetheart?”
“No,” she said, through a fresh burst
of tears, “It Is not that.”
A look of deep perplexity overspread
j his handsome visage, and, pushing her
back so that he could look down into
her big, beautiful, tear-dimmed eyes, hs
, asked:
“Then, what In the dickens Is the
trouble?”
“I was J-Just think-thinking,” she re
I turned, “how miserable I should be if
you were to die and I w-were to marry
B-some one who wouldn’t appreciate all
this magnificence.”

ADVICE TO THE SHIFTLESS
Hard Sense, If Persisted In, Will Over
come Hard Luck—Don’t Tell
Your Troubles.
A very keen politician going
abroad for an extended tour ad
vertised for a man to relieve him
of the smaller worries of travel
ing, says the London Post. He re
duced the applicants to one, and
was about to complete the nego
tiations when the fortunate per
son began to tell him of his ca
reer, his ambitions, opportunities
and misfortunes—a genuine hard
luck story. The politician listened
for awhile,and then suddenly in
terposed: “I find that I do not
want you,” and when pressed for
his reason, added: “I never hire
bad-luck people, especially the
kind who talk about it.”
There seems to be an injustice
In this, and there doubtless is.
At the same time this politician
was a judge of men, or he would
not have been a successful politi
cian. Most persons who have
achieved success are obliged to lis
ten to bad-luck stories, despite
their efforts to avoid them. The
main reason the modern merchant
or manager protects himself with
a guard of doorkeepers and ante
rooms is to escape callers who
want to take up his time by nar
ratives of their misfortunes.
Every large center of popula
tion has its army of bad-luck suf
ferers, and among them are men
of education, men who are almost,
but not quite, strong enough to
reach success. Their point of
view is out of compass, their bear
ings are wrong; their attitude is
that some one who has succeeded
must make amends for their own
shortcomings. These unfortun
ates are probably the most hope
less persons in the world—hope
less not so much in their own
ideas as in the possibilities of
their reformation. When a man
places his own inadequacy on ill
luck he is not worth anything to
anybody—not even to himself.
Luck is the tide, nothing more.
The strong man rows with it if it
makes toward his port. He rows
against it if it flows the other
way. Fair or foul, flood or ebb, he
rows. And the world has very lit
tle time to waste on the man who
complains that the tide did not
turn at every bend to suit his
course.
NO TIPS FOR HIS WAITERS.
New York Restaurant Man Makes a
Discovery—Then Came a Change
in His System.
“My waiters get very few tips,”
said a downtown restaurant man,
“and I don’t have to print notices
to my customers that they are not
expected to tip the waiter. It is
really very simple and within the
power of a restaurant manager to
stop the custom if he wants to do
so,” says the New York Times.
“You see, when a customer tips
a waiter regularly he expects to
get extra service or to have his
I check scaled down, and the res
■ taurant is beaten by the game. In
l other words, the tipping of wait
ers took money out of my pocket.
“I said nothing, but kept my
! eyes open for a few days, and I
! saw that it was in handing the
check to the customer that the
waiters got their tips. When
they were doubtful of a man they
actually made him ask for his
check. That observation made it
simple.
“Without a word about tips I
made a rule that when a cus
tomer was served the waiter
should immediately lay down by
his plate the check for the amount
ordered and change it subsequent
ly if he ordered more. That left
no opportunity for the waiter to
dumbly suggest that his hand was
open, and it made it easy for the
customer to get away without giv
ing a coin to the man who had
served him.
“In a week tipping had practie
, ally ceased in my restaurant and
the checks began to increase tc
the right size. All paid for wha1
they got and others increased
their orders as soon as they wer*
relieved of paying tribute to th<
waiter. It worked admirably anc
helped my business. Restauranl
men are foolish not to stop th<
tipping imposition. They can dc
it if they want to.”
