Tiew. At a small round hole the professional 

 guards have less chance to get in their mon- 

 keying with each incoming bee. So far as 

 that may cause popularity it would be a gen- 

 uine popularity. Page 356. 



NEW vs. OLD COMB FOUNDATION. 



As to new foundation being better than old, 

 a majority of the experts (15 out of 29) say it 

 is not. Three more join the same rank with 

 an " if" — if you'll steam it, or temper it, or 

 dip it in warm water. Then 9 more, inclin- 

 ing more or less to think there is some differ- 

 ence, think the difference is quite small. 

 That leaves only 2 unaccounted for, neither 

 of whom thinks the difference large. Seldom 

 we get so near absolute unanimity. Page 356. 



HONEY vs. SOAP FOR WASHING. 

 I haven't gotten around yet to the experi- 

 ment of washing a pair of big, rough, dirty, 

 masculine hands in honey used instead of 

 soap. Of course we are interested to see that 

 a competent judge finds it to work tolerably 

 with feminine hands. Lack of penetratu'e 

 power is the off-hand suspicion one would 

 feel toward honey for this purpose; maybe 

 we suspect wrongly. The soap we quite com- 

 monly meet imparts a bad smell, and honey 

 wouldn't do that. Also, soap often carries 

 in itself a fearful nastiness, only partly elimi- 

 nated by strong alkali ; and honey is innocent 

 on that score. Say, Sister Wilson, try a batch 

 of handkerchiefs and napkins, and similar 

 small hardware, with honey and not a particle 

 of soap. Using as little water as practicable, 

 soak over night and wash out in hot water. 

 May be there's something to be found out yet, 

 who knows? 'Spects nothing but decidedly 

 white honey should be used on delicate goods, 

 lest it stain them. Page 360.
