THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



July 



toms. 



Yet Mr. Rogers, who has been chief 

 of the division for teu years, aud who 

 has been connected with it since it was 

 organized, assured the correspondent 

 that there has never been a case of in- 

 fectious or contagious disease contracted 

 "by one of the employees of his office. 

 Everyone of them handles the bills sent 

 in for redemption. They are counted 

 and sorted time after time. They are 

 the dirtiest specimens of money to be 

 found in the country. — Rochester Post- 

 Express. 



Looking For\rard to the Chase. 



"You ought to taJie some rest," said 

 the sympathetic friend. "Can't you go 

 fishing or something like that?" 



"Well, " replied Mr. Weary, "I'm go- 

 ing duck liuntiug pretty soon." 



"Where?" 



"Up on F street. My wife has seen a 

 dnck of a boiinet that I have to go in 

 pursuit of. " — Washington St ar. 



The Unselfish Cricketer. 



The cricket ground is a wholesome 

 training field for young Englishmen. 

 "It has cost me, one way or another, a 

 fiver to play in this match. I have trav- 

 eled 200 miles, and now I can say that 

 I have played on a side which made 536 

 runs, and if I had staid away they 

 would only have made 535." 



So said a very good cricketer at the 

 end of a two days' match, in the course 

 of which he had received three balls 

 only, but he said it without a semblance 

 of grumbling in his voice. Being a 

 cricketer, he had learned to lose sight 

 of his personal failure in thinking of 

 the success of his side, and we hope and 

 l)elieve that he felt that he would rather 

 win a match wherein he made one run 

 than score a century for a losing side. 



Only on rare occasions do we meet a 

 downright selfish cricketer, aud then 

 we instinctively feel that a man of his 

 stamp would have done better had he 

 ocnfined liis attention to the golf course, 

 and that he is for some reason naturally 

 incapable of taking advantage of the 

 countless opportunities that cricket has 

 afEorded him of conquering a selfish and 

 ill regulated disposition. — Blackwood's 

 Magazine.

THE ADVANCE OF WOMAN. 



Apart from any (j[uestion of right, would 

 it be for the best interests of civilization to 

 grant woruen a wider sphere of activity? 

 The trend and current of the social evolu- 

 tion is surely in the direction of larger lib- 

 erty for all, in the degree that they are able 

 to use it. It is in the direction of the re- 

 moval of barriers and needless restraints. 

 Every attempt at such removal in the past 

 has been greeted by loud phrophecies of 

 disaster. The aroused watch dogs of church 

 and state have started in full cry upon the 

 track of the innovator with angry yelpings 

 of alarm. Hut that whs what might have 

 been expected, and should frighten no one. 

 We all inherit a residua n of antediluvian 

 sentiments which remain suspenden in our 

 minds like mud in water and interfere with 

 the clearness of our thinking. It is only 

 when it has had time to settle, and we rec- 

 ognize it for what it is, that we gain full 

 command of our intellects. Now, I do not 

 pretend as yet to have full command of 

 mine; but, for all that, I stem to have a 

 few star-gleams of intuition which manage 

 to struggle through the turbid medium of 

 antiquated feeling. — H. H. Boyeson, in 

 July Lippincott's.
