GLEANINQS IN BEE CULTURE.

that time, perhaps there was no other way. I 

 shall not now undertake to decide; but had I 

 been at that time, say during that whole win- 

 ter's term of school, seeking guidance and di- 

 rection from my Bible and from Orrifit Jesxis, 

 there never would have been any need of such 

 a crisis. It was not my fault just tJiat day that 

 one of my pupils told me face to face that I 

 was not man enough to make him behave him- 

 self; butiticas my fault during the weeks and 

 months — yes, from the very first week of that 

 school till the last. I was doing that which I 

 knew no one who holds the sacred office of 

 teacher had any right to do. Many may say it 

 ■was a little thing; but downright sin is never a 

 little thing. J knew I was sinning. If my good 

 -old mother had at that time looked into my 

 heart, I should have been ashained of the 

 thoughts that were lurking there. May God 

 forgive me! Well, now, it does not always need 

 a itwther^s eye to read a man or to read a 

 teacher. My pupils lost their respect for me 

 when I might have gained and /leid their re- 

 spect and esteem. Now for the lesson: 



If there Is any cause of war between the 

 United States and Great Britain, then both 

 England and the I'liited States should be 

 ashamt-d of it; and it is not too late to mend 

 matters even now. without war or a thought of 

 war. This stmding by our flag, and this 

 Fourth of July spirit of patriotism, is all right 

 providing the patriots are CVi?-isi«i?i.s first and 

 patriots afterward; or. in other words, if both 

 England and the United States are seeking 

 ^rst '• the kingdom of (u)d and his righteous- 

 ness." most sun-ly should there be no faint 

 thought of even trj/ijig to see who is greatest. 

 or discussing the matter in regard to war. In 

 our bee-keepers' conventions, vvlien we meet 

 on such exceedingly friendly terms and friendly 

 ground, the very thoufiht of such a thing is 

 painful. Whyl instead of lifting a finger 

 against these friends, I would turn around and 

 fight for them. They might be mistaken, but 

 they could not be vicious and selfish. 



A few days ago we were talking about a 

 quarrel over a division fence, where pistols were 

 used. I said, *' In such a case it is far better to 

 get shot than to shont somebody else." If a 

 burglar gets into one's house in the night, of 

 course this would alter the case entirely. I am 

 talking about quarrels between neighbors — 

 neighbors whose farms are separated by only a 

 line fence. And is it nut true, dear friends. 

 that England anA America are separated by 

 only a line fence? Should there be a quarrel, 

 it would be a quarrel between neighbors. Dur- 

 ing my recent visits in the South in Florida 

 and at Atlanta I have had exactly the same 

 feeling. These people are not only our neigh- 

 bors, but exceedingly kind, unselfish, and self- 

 sacrificing Tielghbors. Should I stupidly for- 

 get at some future time the pleasant relations 

 that have existed between us. it would give me 

 exceeding pain. Let me illustrate: 



While stopping at one of the homes in Flori- 

 da, when I arose in the morning some forty or 

 fifty dollars were gone from mv pocket. Just 

 as soon as made the discovery I decided in my 

 own mind that I should never mention it; if 

 gone, it was by my own stupidity, or some 

 tramp thief had been in my room while I slept 

 and I would not give pain to the good friends 

 who were entertaining me, even if it cost me 

 97iY(?i.i/ times the sum in question. After I had 

 fully decided what to do, however. I found my 

 wad of money kicking around under my feet. 



Now, there has been a growing feeling of 

 friendship, of peace and good will, not onlv be- 

 tween the North and South, but between Eng- 

 land and America. This feeling has at least 



been growing among a great part of our people, 

 that, if there is any shooting to be done, we 

 should prefer to be shot rather than that a 

 weapon should be even pointed toward these 

 good friends of ours. If money is lost. I am 

 sure I am right when I say there is a feeling 

 that we would sooner loose a good round sum 

 rather than wound the feelings and sensibili- 

 ties of those whom we know are so much above 

 taking that which does not belong to them 

 that it is utterly impossible for any trace of 

 selfishness and greed to lurk in their hearts. 

 We know this is true of individuals. Now, I 

 do not know about nations; but I do know, I 

 think, as friend Goodhue says, that what is 

 true of people is true of nations. 



ARTIFICIAL HONEY. 



SELLING KECIPES. 



It is some time since recipes for making honey 

 have been advertised; and, in fact, this whole 

 principle of sellins recipes for a certain sum of 

 money— 25 cts. or$2.5 00 as the case maybe — 

 has been so nearly played out we have given 

 but little place to the matter. Here is one, 

 however, sent by one of our contributors. It 

 seems to be right in our line, so I think I will 

 give the advertisement in full. 



THE WAY TO MAKE MONEY IS TO MAKE HONEY ! 



We always have honey at our house, eat it three 

 times a day. Make it ourselves. As good or better 

 tlian bees' tioni'y; good tasting and perfectly whole- 

 some. Co-ts ( n'y one-third as much. Honej' sells 

 readily every wUv re at from 15 to J!0 cents per pound. 

 You can mak^ it in almo^t any quantity in five 

 MINUTES at a cost of only 6 or 7 cts. per pDund. In- 

 gredients to be ohtained at grocery svores. This 

 recipe is worth to any family $50 every j ear. 



IT'S A MONEY- SAVER. 



I sell the recipe with full directions neatly printed 

 for only 50 cents in 1 or 3 cent stamps or cash. 



AGENTS 



can sell this recipe to nearly every family, as almost 

 everybody likes good honty; and by showing them 

 the honey you can make witli this recipe they will 

 buy at once. I allow agents half the money they 

 sell recipes for. It will pay you five thousand dol- 

 lars per year for the next few years, if you hustle. 



Sa.y. my dear friend, if you fail to see money in 

 this, I am s irry. I tell you candidly and perfectly 

 honestly Ihat 1 am offering you 



A MIGHTY GOOD. THING. PUSH IT ALONG. 



I have not secured an atient in your county, or 

 you would not I'ave received this circular. First 

 come, fir t served. Act quickly, or you may be too 

 late. 



If you will send me 25 cents withiti 10 d.-iys, and 

 will also distrilnite a few circulars among your 

 friends for me, 1 will send you full instructions how 

 to make the honey; and if every thing isjiot abso- 

 lutely just as 1 herein represent 1 will glaoiy return 

 j'ovn- money. 



Send 25 tents for the recipe, and a test will prove 

 that I aro indeed your friend. If you want to make 

 money easily, honestly, raiiidly, address at tmce 



H. M. Daniels, Akron, Ohio. 



Well, the above is quite taking, now, isn't it? 

 We sent the 25 cts., and. instead of distributing 

 circulars, as per request, we reprint the whole 

 thing here in Gleanings. That is right, is it 

 not? for our readers are all our " pirsonal 

 friends;" and while we are in a friendly mood 

 I think we might as well give you the recipe 

 right out. It will save time and postage and 

 money. My impression is. that the same thing 

 is found in Dr. Chase's recipe-book, and per- 

 haps in many other recipe-books as well. Here 

 is your splendid honey, made in five minutes, 

 at a cost of only or 7 cts. per lb.
