 keeping, are advised to obtain the first Vol-

 tion of scientific bee-keeping, including the 

 best statement extant of the celebrated 

 Dzierzon theory. These articles run

 pen of the Baron of Berlepsch. We have 

 but a few copies left; price. $1.25, in cloth 

 boards, postpaid.

Rates of Postage. 



We are requested to give the legal rates of 

 postage to assist our correspondents in 

 avoiding mistakes in mailing manuscripts 

 and papers. Here they are: 



All mailable matter called "domestic," 

 i.e., matter sent from one point to another 

 within the United States, as distinguished 

 from '^foreign" mail matter, is divided into 

 three classes, known as first, second, and 

 third-class matter. These classes are sub- 

 ject to different rates of postage. 



First-class mail matter consists of letters, 

 sealed packages, matter wholly or partly in 

 writing, except book manuscripts, local or 

 drop letters, and postal cards. The rate on 

 this class is three cents for each half ounce 

 or fraction thereof. 



Second-class mail matter embraces all 

 newspapers, magazines and periodicals, ex- 

 clusively in print, addressed to regular sub- 

 scribers and mailed from the office of pub- 

 lication. The rate for this class is two 

 cents per pound on periodicals issued week- 

 ly or oftener; on those issued less frequent- 

 ly, three cents a pound. 



Third-class matter embraces all pamph- 

 lets, occassional publications, transient 

 newspapers, magazines, handbills, books, 

 maps and many other articles not included 

 in the first or second-class. These are 

 classified into two sorts and subject to 

 different rates. The articles specitied 

 above, pamphlets, transient newspapers, 

 etc.. ai"e subject to a postage of one cent for 

 each ounce or fraction thereof. 



Matter of the third-class must be done up 

 in wrappers left open at a side or end, so 

 that the contents may be readily examined 

 without destroying the wrapper. 



The rates of postage on letters and news- 

 papers to Canada are the same as within 

 the United States. The postage on letters 

 to Great Britain, France, and Germany, is 

 now five cents for each half ounce or frac- 

 tion thereof. Pre-payment is optional. 

 Newspapers go to these countries at the 

 rate of two cents for each paper, no single 

 paper to weigh over four ounces.
