he was a close observer and an original 

 investigator. In those branches of 

 science cognate to the science of apicul- 

 ture he was well posted, and was seldom 

 found nodding in his contributions to 

 the bee-journals. Of course he was 

 "set" in his views and opinions, but 

 that may be tolerated in an intelligent 

 and upright man. That he was enthu- 

 siastically absorbed in the science and 

 art of apiculture goes without saying. 

 And he "died in the harness" among 

 his bees, with the hive he was mnaipu- 

 lating still uncovered. 

 Mr. Cornell was the eflScient Secretary 



S. CORNEIL. 



of the Ontario Bee-Keepers' Association 

 at the time of his death, and had been 

 one of its directors for many years, and 

 its President a few years ago. He was 

 also one of the successful delegates of 

 Ontario bee-keepers to the Indian and 

 Colonial Exhibition in London in 1886. 

 In 1890, I think, he met some of our 

 American friends at the North American 

 Bee-Keepers' Association meeting at 

 Albany, N. Y. 



Our Association will greatly miss Mr. 

 Cornell ; the bee-journals on both sides 

 will miss him ; and the fraternity in 

 general will miss him, and deplore th-e 

 fact that, in his own language from his 

 diary, he "forgot the world and fell 

 asleep." Allen Pringle. 



Upon hearing of Mr. Cornell's death, 

 Prof. Cook wrote us this note : 



I was very grieved to read of the death 

 of Mr. Corneil. He was a very able and 

 candid gentleman, and his death is a 

 serious loss to all bee-keepers. 



A. J. Cook. 



Personally, we wera not acquainted 

 with Mr. Corneil, though of course we, 

 like a host of bee-keepers, knew him 

 through his interesting contributions to 

 bee-literature, and shall miss his able 

 pen productions.

Oood Hojiey-Sellers will likely be 

 needed soon, and the little .S2-page pamph- 

 let, "Honey as Food and Medicine," has 

 for years proven itself valuable in making 

 repeated sales of honey. Its distribution 

 will create a demand for the honey first, and 

 then the bee-keeper can follow it up and 

 supply that demand. Send to us for a 

 sample copy, only 5 cents ; 10 copies, post- 

 paid, 35 cents ; 50 copies, .$1.25; or 100 copies 

 $2.00. Try 50 or 100 copies, and prove their 

 ability to aid you in disposing of your 

 honey at a good price.
