Two Thing's that should never fret you, 



Neither worry nor annoy — 

 " What you can help— what you can't help ;" 



Then your life would be all joy.

O. "W. Demaree's second attack 

 of sciatica, last Fall, was followed with 

 La Orl'ppe in his family — so our genial 

 friend has had his full share of adver- 

 sity this Winter. It is a pleasure to be 

 able to report that a marked improve- 

 ment now exists in his family, and we 

 hope that his sciatica will not return 

 again to trouble him. 



RegfulatiotlS for exhibitors in the 

 several departments of the Exposition 

 have been issued, and can be obtained 

 by all intending exhibitors by applying 

 for them, either in person or by mail. 



F*ire destroyed the residence and 

 nearly all its contents of Mr. and Mrs. 

 Charles Turner, of Wenona, Ills. Their 

 two little boys went into the cellar, with 

 a candle, for apples, and accidentally 

 caught the straw on fire. So rapidly 

 did the flames spread that the fire was 

 beyond control before help came — Mr. 

 Turner being absent at the time. Their 

 many friends have presented them with 

 nearly $500 in cash, so as to divide the 

 loss with them, as they had no insur- 

 ance. Mr. T. is a bee-keeper, and one 

 of our subscribers. We congratulate 

 him upon the escape from the burning 

 building of his wife and children. 



The Illinois State Exposition 

 Board has set apart $40,000 as a 

 special fund for the encouragement of 

 live stock exhibits at the Fair. The 

 fund is apportioned as follows : Horses, 

 37 per cent. ; cattle, 30 per cent ; hogs, 

 15 per cent. ; sheep, 12 per cent. ; 

 poultry, 6 per cent. ; for bees, not a 

 cent ! They are not recognized ! 



Xlie Marshall County, 111., Farmers' 

 Institute was to have opened on Feb. 2, 

 but was postponed on account of the 

 ravages of La Orippe, until March 1 and 

 2. Mr. A. Coppin is to give an address 

 on " Bees — how to manage them success- 

 fully," as we notice by the report of the 

 Executive Committee of that society. 



Tlie Horticultural Department of 

 the World's Fair is planning to have a 

 magnificent rose garden in which will be 

 fully 50,000 plants, besides large 

 groups in special areas. The garden 

 will be of classic design with temples, 

 arbors, archways and trellises. 



The Hditor of the British Bee 

 Journal has had a severe attack of La 

 Orippe, from which he is now slowly 

 recovering. We are fully able to com- 

 prehend its meaning, and condole with 

 Bro, Cowan.
