Something SSr Bee= Keeping Sisters 

 in th e Winter T ime. 



We think all ladies will agree with us in sayinfj that every man should at least under- 

 stand some business, with which, in case of neeessity, he could support himself and family. 

 The wealthiest people frequently come to want, and wretched, indeed, is the man who cannot 

 earn a living after his wealth is gone. He sometimes fills the grave of a suicide. And why, 

 in this enlightened age of progression, should not woman, as well as man, be able to depend 

 on her own resources i In ease her husband dies in poverty, must she starve or depend on 

 charity J In case her husband fails to provide and grossly mistreats the woman he has sworn 

 to cherish, must she humbly submit? A THOUSAND TIMKS, NO ! Let every woman, 

 before she marries, have some knowledge that can be used to make her a living. Every mother, 

 rich or poor, should make her daughters, in a certain degree, independent, by giving them 

 some kind of a trade, and teaching them to be self-reliant. Mothers should have their 

 daughters learn to sew, and not neglect this important part of their domestic education. The 



daughter so taught will not only make a better wife and mother, but will also be more likely 

 to secure a better husband, and will always command his respect. He will not look upon her 

 as a helpless ■' know-nothing," but will know that if he fails in his duties, she can live without 

 him, and this can only strengthen the bond between them. A thorough knowledge of dress- 

 making can always be turned into gold, and become the means of support for the mother and 

 her little ones. She may never have to use this knowledge in this way, but she has a trade and 

 can use it if necessary. 



The outline cut shown herewith is a condensed copy of THE NEAV LiONDOX 

 LADIES' TAILOR SYSTEM for drafting and cutting ladies' and children's garments. 

 For simplicity and accuracy it has no superior among the more expensive systems. Thousands 

 of girls have learned more about drafting and cutting with this system than they knew about 

 it after serving their apprenticeship in some of the dressmaking shops of the United States 

 and Canada. Thousands of the best garment cutters have laid their complicated and expensive 

 system aside, and are now using THp: NEW LONDON TAIIjOR SYSTEM. Thousands 

 have been sold at So. 00 each, but we mail it Free to a paid-in-advance subscriber to the Amer- 

 ican Bee Journal for sending us two new subscribers at .^1.00 each; or we will send it to any 

 one with a year's subscription to the American Bee Journal, both for $1.75; or, we will mail 

 the Tailor System alone for $1.00. Address all orders to

the time on buckwheat just west of the 

 yard. Through over conficlence, the 

 men in charge of the horses (a spirited 

 team) were told to drive right up 

 ag-ainst the apiary where the bees were 

 flying by the thousands against a 

 strong wind. A few bees at once at- 

 tacked the horses which could not be 

 induced to move, one throwing it.self in 

 the harness. The bees then literally 

 poured out on the horses by the thou- 

 sands, and the men, after vainly trying 

 to get the horses to go, and after re- 

 ceiving a lot of stings, concluded that 

 " 'twas better to fight and run away, 

 and live to fight another day," so ac- 

 cordingly took " leg bail " on double- 

 quick time. 



Being only a short distance away at 

 the time, and hearing the noise, the 

 writer arrived on the scene of action 

 bare-headed and in his shirt-sleeves. 

 Needless to say he met with a very 

 warm reception. After with great dif- 

 ficulty unhitching the horses by the 

 assistance of a brother, who had now 

 arrived, and by the free use of the whip 

 induced them to leave the place slowly, 

 covered with swarms of angry bees. 



The poor brutes were literally stung 

 over every inch of their bodies, and it 

 was thought that they would certainly 

 die. Salt was given to them as soon 

 as possible, but owing to the way they 

 kicked and plunged after being put in 

 the stable, hardly anything could be 

 done by the way of removing the 

 stings. However, they have pulled 

 through, and to-day (a week after the 

 stinging) they appear to be improving 

 nicely, although their bodies are cov- 

 ered with lumps full of pus which are 

 now discharging. While the writer re- 

 ceived hundreds of stings on the head, 

 face and neck, aside from a severe pain
