GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



701 



Rasperries are not the only delicious and 

 healthful food that the " g-ood Shepherd" 

 provides, almost without any care on our 

 part. I told you about our two hives of 

 bees. It took me twenty minutes to make 

 the new colony and put them into the new 

 hive. It does not seem to me I have g'iven 

 them any time at all since then, except to 

 take off the honey. We have taken oft" over 

 twenty full sections, and there are more 

 than as many almost ready to come oft". 

 The honey is raspberry and white clover. 

 After basswood blossomed (almost a month, 

 later than it does in Ohio) it g-ave the honey 

 what I called a cinnamon flavor; and even 

 if I have several times called certain sam- 

 ples the " finest I ever tasted," I say now 

 that from our own hives, close by " the 

 cabin in the woods," is ahead of all. I 

 may chang^e my mind again; but my last 

 verdict is that not even Hilbert's maple mo- 

 lasses can "take the cake" from the clo- 

 ver-raspberry-linden honey. This one hive 

 has already g^iven us honey that would sell 

 for three or four dollars, and that, too, as 

 readily as butter and egg's. 



Now, I might go on and tell of our pota- 

 toes, peas, sweet corn, beans, and things 

 without number, that cost so very little to 

 grow on this fertile soil (and I presume 

 there are thousands of localities just as 

 g-ood), and all these chances the Lord has 

 g-iven to all his children. If one's wants 

 are simple, and not many, we need not 

 work so very hard to have them all sup- 

 plied. 



A young couple belonging to my Sunday- 

 school class called at our cabin a few days 

 ago. The young man said, just before he 

 left, that he would just like to have a small 

 piece of land and fix it up as I have done, 

 right here in the dense woods. And, by 

 the way, he helped me make m3' first clear- 

 ing here. On each side of the walk to the 

 front door we have a bed of sweet peas and 

 one of pansies. The former were sent by 

 Burpee to test. The latter were presented 

 by our neighbor Cole, the man who grows 

 peaches so successfully. Well, it has ta- 

 ken only a very little work to get these 

 beautiful flowers, and yet they have given 

 us just bushels of the loveliest flowers I ever 

 saw anyivhere. 



In spite of all these wonderful opportuni- 

 ties there are people around here, as well as 

 everj'where else, I suppose, who complain 

 thej' " can't make a living," and who have 

 no word of thanksgiving and praise on 

 their tongues or in their hearts, to the great 

 Father above for all these gifts, and for the 

 possibilities that lie before us all. "No 



time of year they begin to ripen. Of course, one 

 should take any change of food a little at a time at 

 first; but when one finds no bad results follow I feel 

 sure there is benefit in using the new fruit quite freely. 

 To be sure I am on safe ground I have twice tried the 

 effect of what might be called eating the-e berries to 

 excess; biU I slept better than usual after it, and no 

 bad result followed at all. If you are ailing, try my 

 " raspberry cure ;" and if you can't find the " medi- 

 cine " where you live, " without money and without 

 price," come over to our woods and help yourself. 



good thing will he withhold from them that 

 love him. "

THE GOOD TIME COMING — ANOTHER EVI- 

 DENCE OF IT. 



We cop3' the following from the Cleveland 

 News and Herald of July 16: 



QUIT BUSINESS OR LEAVE CITY ; POLICE SEND THIS OR- 

 DER TO CLAIRVOYANTS AND FORTUNE-TELLERS. 



A mysterious rustling and bustling may be noticed 

 in different quarters of the city. Wigs, skulls, and 

 cross-bones, incense, fantastic robes, and mystical 

 books can now be had at a discount, and manyot them 

 have been relegated to ashpiles. An exodus of " pro- 

 fessors " and " madames " of clairvoyancy has begun. 



The reason for all this is that Captain of Detectives 

 Kohler has given notice that all clairvoyants and for- 

 tune-tellers must either quit the business in which they 

 are engaged or leave the city. He has warned them 

 that, unltss they have ceased the practice or have left 

 the city within twenty-four hours, they will be liable 

 to arrest. As a result three noted " professors " have 

 left the city already. 



"Can't I stay here for three days until I make up 

 my expenses?" asked one indignant "professor" 

 when served with the notice. " I just came here, and 

 haven't made a cent yet." 



" You will be served just like the others," said Cap- 

 tain Kohler. The " professor " decided to move. 



For seme time it has been thought that there was no 

 law to prevent clairvoyants and fortune-tellers from 

 doing business. Many complaints which have been 

 made to the police recently have caused Captain Kohl- 

 er to investigate. After consulting will! a number of 

 lawyers it was found that section 7017, subsection 4, of 

 the Revised St itutes of Ohio, covers the point. 



The law is as follows: ' Whoever shall represent 

 himself to be a clairvos'ant, palmi-it, astrologer, or for- 

 tune-teller shall be guilty of a mi.sdemeanor. and, on 

 convict on thereof, shall for each and every offense be 

 fined not more than $100 and not less than $25, or im- 

 prisoned in the county jail for .a period not longer 

 than three months, and not shorter than thirty days." 



For a number of years peisons calling themselves 

 " professors " have appeared in this city and have ad- 

 vertised e.Ktensiveh'. Ihey have claimed to be the 

 greatest clairvoyants on earth, and many persons 

 have put faith in them. 



Notices were sent yesterday to eighteen " profess- 

 ors " and " madames " who are doing business in the 

 city. They were told to cease business or leave Cleve- 

 land. Many of them preferred to leave the city. 



May the Lord be praised for such a law, 

 even if it did take a "number of law3'ers" 

 some time to find it. Now if the3' will add 

 the " weather prophets," or all such as 

 claim to be able to foretell the weather a 

 year ahead, we shall be able to protect by 

 law still nioreoi that class whose "money" 

 is "soon parted" with. Chief Moore, of 

 the Weather Bureati, will, I am sure, ap- 

 prove my suggestion. 



For years past it has grieved my heart to 

 see in the large cities signs of clairvoyants, 

 fortune-tellers, etc., right otit in broad day- 

 light. It is not only a burning shame but 

 a disgrace to the present age. Where are 

 our schools and colleges with their great 

 endowments? Of course, the News and 

 Herald (and we hope other daily papers as 

 well) will refuse to insert the advertise- 

 ments of these charlatans and impostors.
