he was cheated. I had some comb honey 

 I had had so long it was candied (and it 

 was solid). I gave him a pound section, 

 asking him to try it, and let me know about 

 it. I saw him in a few days, and he said it 

 was as hard as a stone, and be would like 

 to know how I made the confounded stuff 

 and got it into the comb. He was going to 

 get a colony of bees to get some pure honey 

 to eat !

 ignorance ? Geo. L. Vinai-.

A Smoking Fact. 



It is very considerate of the ladies and 

 educators to stir up public interest against 

 the evil of cigarette smoking, but I venture 

 to say that if the daddies of the boys ad- 

 dicted to the evil habit were to. set their 

 youngsters the example of abstinence in 

 the use of tobacco, far greater good would 

 result than present prospects indicate. 

 What the boys need is moral suasion, with 

 the occasional help of a springy rattan, to 

 promote right conclusions regarding the 

 filthy and dangerous habit of smoking. 



No use in the old deacon lecturing upon 

 the terrible vice, when his breath reeks 

 with the fumes of an old pipe, and his 

 patriarchal beard is streaked witti coloring 

 from tobacco chewing. Boys soon learn to 

 despise hypocrites. Dr. Pbiro.

Bubby Has His Say. 



Wunst pa found a swarm ov bees 



Buzzin' 'mongst the apple-trees 



Way down in the orchard ; an' 



He ist beat on a disbpan 



Till they settled on a lim ; 



Nen he took a saw an' dim 



Up the tree, an' let 'em down 



So tbay peart neart touched the groun'. 



I stood fur off when pa kum 

 Frum the tree an' got a gum 

 Fer them bees ; nen he ist took 

 Down the lim an' shook an' shook, 

 Shook an' shoo/,-, till all the bees 

 Filed back in the apple- trees ; 

 Nen they chawed the rag — got mean 

 'Cause they couldn't find their queen. 



Bout a bushel ov 'em lit 

 On pa's head, an' thay ist bit 

 Him rite on the eyes an' nose — 

 Their sharp teeth stuck in his clothes 

 Tight as burrs— an' the fur flew ! 

 Bet yer boots the air wuz blue 

 'Round thare; 'cause pa ripped an' tored 

 'Bout the orchard, nen he swored ! 



Ma, she kum an' pulled up three 

 Kinds ov weeds fer pa; an' she 

 Took an' beat em with a rock — 

 Plantain, jimson, yeller dock — 

 Till thay mellered ; nen she fixed 

 Up salt, soda, camflre. mixed 

 With them weeds — an' that ere stuff 

 Stopped the hurtin', sbure anuff ! 



Pa don't like bees, no-sir-ee!— 



Took an' sulfered every bee 



On the diggin's ; an' said he 



Hadn't enny further use 



Fer sich stock — an' nen cut loose 



On 'em ! — Iliinny won't indooce 



]fim to keep bees ; no, not one-

That New Constitution. 



There is one clause in it which would 

 surely cut uie off from ever becoming a 

 member of the new organization, as pro- 

 posed on dage 757 of the Bee Journal for 

 1SU5. That is the clause which makes an 

 "assessment" possible. It is a theory of 

 mine that every man is entitled to know 

 the price of a thing before he buys it, and 

 no man can know the cost of membership 

 in a society where an assessment can be 

 made.
