GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



7V 



Did you e\er think how even the women who tliink 

 intemperance such a curse could almost alone, if real- 

 ly in earnest, sta:np out Ijoth intoxicating drink and 

 tobacco? Simply refuse to have any thing whatever 

 to do with the user of either ; but it must be absolute, 

 always, and nnrelenting. They will not do it, even as 

 individuals. Are they really in earnest ? Actions 

 count ; words, bnt little. 



1-or the best waj-, if we could only find it, I am 

 Sincerely yours, 



Couneaut, O , Nov. 2 D. Cummins. 



No information is given as to what paper 

 the clippinpf referred to, f;;"iven in small 

 t3'pe, came from. It is indeed a sad state 

 of affairs to contemplate. The educators 

 of our nation, teaching" in all otir schools 

 and colleg-es the effects of tobacco on the 

 human sj'stem, and at least to some extent 

 warning our boys against the habit, and 

 right while this is going on the Secretary 

 of the Agricultural Department of Washing- 

 ton is using government monej' to ptish this 

 indtistry, not only throughout the United 

 States but even into our new possessions, 

 the islands of the sea! The trotible can be 

 met; and, through the grace of God, it must 

 be met. We can not put the whole burden 

 on the shotilders of our women, even if they 

 are not as a rule tobacco-users. But ever}' 

 man who loves righteousness, temperance, 

 and purity, and who hates iniquity, must 

 enter his protest, and that right vigorously, 

 and then the reform will come, and we 

 have God's promise that we shall reap in 

 due time if we faint not. 



MAKING GOOD MKN AND WOMEN ; THK 

 CHEAPEST WAY TO DO IT. 



The following gem from the Promoter, of 

 Grand Junction, Col., for Januarj', comes 

 in nicely with the notice I gave in our last 

 issue of Miss Remington's work among the 

 children: 



The costliest way of making good men and women 

 is that which looks toward reforming them after they 

 have started out on the wrong track. And it is so uii- 

 certain too. The time to start a tree growing straight 

 and true is before it has liegun to go wrong.

With cable communication and equable win- 

 ter temperature of 70 degrees, is reached in 

 48 hours from New York by the elegant 

 steamers of the Quebec Steamship Compa- 

 ny, sailing every ten days up to January, 

 and then every five days. The situation of 

 these islands — south of the Gulf Stream — 

 renders 



FROST UNKNOWN, 



and the porous coral fonnation prevents ma- 

 laria. The Quebec Steamship Company 

 also despatches highest class passenger 

 steamers every ten days for ST. THOMAS, 

 SANTA CRUZ, ST. KITTS, ANTIGUA, 

 GUADALOUPE, DOMINICA, MARTIN- 

 IQUE, ST. LUCIA, BARBADOS, DEM- 

 ERARA, and the principal WEST INDIA 

 IvSLANDS, affording a charming tropical 

 trip at a cost of about $4 a day. For de-
