If a person follows these rules he will always be healthy, according to Governor W. N. Ferris, who addressed the delegates attending the annual convention of the Michigan Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis.
Bees Acquire Opium Habit.
The honey bees near Fostoria, Ohio, have contracted the opium habit. Like the Chinese, they get theirs from the poppy. Many residents of Fostoria grow Oriental poppies. The bees have found this out, and of late they are leaving acres of clover blossoms to hunt out the poppy beds.
They work vigorously for an hour or so, and then fall to the ground, apparently as stupefied as are Chinese opium smokers after “hitting the pipe.”
It is said if the bees could only be kept sober, there would doubtless be a great demand for the honey.
The Kaiser Held Up?
A report in circulation at Berlin, Germany, apparently originating in Vienna, is to the effect that the kaiser is about to sell the old Monbijou Palace, now the Hohenzollern Museum. It is asserted that the sale is due to the fact that the recent increase of the emperor’s civil list is insufficient.
There was a similar report some weeks ago regarding the alleged projected sale of a castle in the Rhineland.
Confirmation of the report is not obtainable.
