Cover Them Over with beautiful flowers. 

 Deck them with garlands, those brothers of ours. 

 Lying so silent, by night and by day, 

 Sleeping the years of their manhood away. 

 Give them the meed they have won in the past ; 

 Give them the honors their future forecast ; 

 Give them the chaplets they won In the strife. 

 Give them the laurels they lost with their lite. 

 Cover them over— yes, cover them over- 

 Parent, husband, brother and lover ! 

 Crown in your hearts those dead heroes of ours. 

 And cover them over with beautiful flowers. 



— Will Carleton. 



I'lie I^eM^ Secretary of the Ontario 

 Bee-Keepers' Association, we learn from 

 the Canadian Bee Journal, is Mr. F. A. Gem- 

 mill, of Stratford. He was recently ap- 

 pointed in place of the late Mr. Cornell. 

 Mr. G. is one of the most prominent and 

 highly respected apiarists " over the line." 



Profitable Bee-Keeping-, by Mrs. 

 Atchley, will continue for some time in her 

 department of the Bee Journal, at least 

 each alternate week. Until further notice 

 we can furnish the back numbers from May 

 1st, beginning with her " Lessons," to new 

 subscribers who pay $1.00 for a year's sub- 

 scription to the Bee Journal — that is, we 

 can commence their year with the number 

 having the first lesson, if they so desire. 



A I*iire Honey Bill has been intro- 

 duced into the Canadian legislature, and 

 Mr. S. T. Pettit, with other bee-keepers 

 there, are working hard to secure its pas- 

 sage. We hope they will succeed in mak- 

 ing it a law, and then see to its strict en- 

 forcement. The United States needs some- 

 thing of the kind, and that right speedily. 

 But nothing can be expected from Congress 

 until the people of this country stop send- 

 ing politicians to Washington with "axes 

 to grind." What we need is honest repre- 

 sentatives of the people, and not a lot of 

 spoils-seeking misrepresentatives. No anti- 

 adulteration laws can be expected from an 

 " adulterated " Congress. 



The Five-Banded Italians are 



given a good "send off" by Mr. J. W. 

 Rouse, of Missouri, in the last Progressive 

 Bee-Keeper. He says he is " sure they are 

 superior in every respect, as a whole." Mr. 

 Rouse is one of Missouri's best bee-men and 

 apiarian writers. 



JProl. C V. Riley, for about 30 years 

 chief of the Entomological Division, U. S. 

 Dept. of Agriculture, has resigned, and 

 Prof. L. O. Howard has been appointed as 

 Prof. Riley's successor. We understand 

 that Mr. Howard has been the mainstay of 

 that branch of the service for several years, 

 and is the author of a large portion of the 

 publications which bear Prof. Riley's name. 



The Chicago Record, from which we ob- 

 tained the above information, says that " it 

 has been Prof. Riley's practice for years to 

 claim the authorship of everything that 

 was written in his bureau." From this it 

 will be fair to assume that Mr. Frank Ben- 

 ton had a pretty big hand in preparing the
