THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



the Porter, which appears to be about 

 perfect. We will endeavor to give 

 an illustration and description of it 

 next month. 



Edward R. Newcomb, formerly of 

 Pleasant Valley, N. Y., has moved to 

 Chicago and has given up his supply 

 business ; also the manufacture of 

 the Stanley Automatic Extractor. 



Everyone whose subscription has 

 expired, or is about to expire, will do 

 well to take advantage of our seed 

 offer given in another column ; a $1.50 

 box of seeds, &c, for only 25 cents. 



The ever-increasing migration to 

 the Tropics from American ports will 

 probably receive a fresh stimulus 

 from the article on the Highlands of 

 Jamacia, which Lady Blake, the wife 

 of the Governor of Jamaica, contrib- 

 utes to the March number of the 

 JSorth American Review. 



"the flowers of CHILI." 

 This week's issue of Frank Leslie's 

 Illustrated Newspaper being the col- 

 ored number, contains a beautiful 

 page of portraits of the handsome 

 women of Chili, a sleighing scene in 

 Chicago, character sketches from the 

 tenth annual dinner of the famous 

 Clover Club of Philadelphia, illustra- 

 tion of the Young Women's Christian 

 Association and Margaret Louisa 

 Home of New York City, and of the 

 "Captain Prat," the formidable Chil- 

 ian ironclad. The Children's Depart- 

 ment contains a beautiful story entitled 

 "Majorie's Valentine," and the Graph- 

 ological Department is full of inter- 

 est, while the fashion letter and edit- 

 orial pages, together with the beauti- 

 ful colored front page, make this 

 number the handsomest that the 

 Arkell Weekly Company has ever 

 published. Price only 10 cents; 12 

 numbers $1.00, with flower premiums 

 catalogued at 81.25 by Messrs. Pete* 

 Henderson & Co., SI .25. 



The complete novel in Lippincotfs 



Magazine for March, "A Soldier's Se- 

 cret," is by Captain Charles King, 



who alone among living Americans 

 ha3 the secret of the military tale. 

 What he does not know about army 

 life in the West is not worth know- 

 ing, and what he knows he can impart 

 with unsurpassed and unfailing 

 charm. The post, the bivouac, the 

 battlefield, — whatever goes on at 

 these he makes to live again before 

 us ; for he has been a part of it all, 

 and his heart is with the cavalry still. 

 Hislaststory has a very recent theme; 

 the Sioux war of 1890, — and will be 

 found equal to any of his previous 

 work.
