Bees Still at Wopk. 



Bees are working hard yet, and the 

 honey they are bringing in now is of .a 

 very fine flavor, and water-white. We 

 work for both comb and extracted 

 honey. I have taken off a good deal 

 of comb honey this week, and still 

 have more on the hives. I expect to 

 extract next week.

Climate 



" Swarm Rhymer" and 

 the Weather. 



Dear Mr. York : — I am real mad ; 

 you allowed me to fall up against that 

 confirmed dyspeptic, Mr. Hasty, the 

 man of "afterthoughts" but not of 

 forethoughts, or, shall I say it, a man 

 of no origitial thought. Now, I hope 

 he will go away back in a corner and 

 be a good boy. 



Yes, I am provoked, as he saw fit to 

 " yump " all over me, as your friend, 

 Yon Yonson, would say. On page 712 

 he takes me to task for a trifling matter 

 that a poor compositorf of the "Jour- 

 nal " caused me to set forth in a pre- 

 vious number (p. 628). My recollec- 

 tion of the statement, " Close upon a 

 century ago", was written, "Close 

 upon a //a//-century ", etc., but some- 

 how the "half" fell by the wayside. 

 Further along in the same article the 

 half-century statement crops up all 

 right — possibly it might have been one 

 of }ny " afterthoughts ". 



SAN FRANCISCO'S CLIMATB. 



Why, my dear Afterthoughter, didn't 

 you know that San Francisco had more 

 than one climate in a day ? Eaws a 

 massa, you can have a different cli- 

 mate for each of the 3 meals you choose 

 to eat in the day. This is a generous 

 clime ! Yon see, we are almost situa- 

 ted on an island. The city is about 6 

 miles across from east to west. The 

 sun goes down in the Pacific Ocean, to 

 put it that way, and that's the cold side 

 of the city — the cold winds and fogs 

 breed and come in from there. On the 

 north is the Golden Gate, and that is 

 not a breeding place for much of any- 

 thing, unless it is crabs, fish and pieces 

 of old hulls of ships that went down to 

 Davy Jones' locker in some of those 

 dense fogs that roll in the Gate upon 

 the peaceful waters of the Bay of San 

 Francisco, which generously washes 

 away, twice a day, the large amount of 

 sewerage that is carried into the bay 



from the city's admirable drainage 

 system. The east side is fairly calm. 



Then, the city is divided into valleys 

 by hills of high and low degree. These, 

 along with other causes, produce cur- 

 rents and counter currents to bestir
