THE AMERICAN BEE KEEPER. 



January 



±Ils face had assumed a bluish hue, 

 which was quickly followed by a green- 

 ish coJcr and then by a purplish tinge. 



The case looked serious, for he was 

 evidently apoplectic. 



Finally, to the relief of all, he was 

 resuscitated. 



All demanded an explanation. 



"I am subject to heart disease," he 

 at length exclaimed, "and any severe 

 shock is likely to kill me. It's a won- 

 der I'm alive to tell the tale. " 



"What tale?" they asked eagerly. 



"Heavens, gentlemen!" he replied, 

 as his cheeks blanched ^t the recollec- 

 tion, "you'll hardly believe me, but I- 

 swear on my oath that when the waiter 

 knocked that piece of bread and butter 

 out of my hand it fell to the floor 

 with the butter side up." 



The others surveyed him pityingly. 



"Something has affected his brain," 

 they whispered one to the other. "Such 

 a thing is unheard of. It could never 

 have happened. " 



One by one they drew away and left 

 him alone. — New York World. 



Ice Cream Now Made in a Minute. 

 I have an Ice CreHin Freezer that will 

 freeze cream perfectly in one minute; as it 

 is such a wonder a crowd will always be 

 around, so anyone can m:ike from five to six 

 dollars a day selling cream, and from ten to 

 twenty dollars a day selling Freezers, as peo- 

 ple will alwavs buy an article when it is 

 demonstrated that they can make money by 

 so doing. The cream is frozen instantly 

 and is smooth and free from lumps. I have 

 done so well myself and have friends suc- 

 ceeding so well that I felt it my duty to let 

 others know of this opportunity, as I feel 

 confident that any person in any locality can 

 make money, as any person can sell cream 

 and the Freezer sells itself. J. F. (Jasey &

THE chinaman's SUNDAY. 



While John Chinaman's face is inscruta- 

 ble, and it is impossible to know his thoughts 

 during the hours from early morning till 

 late at night, in which he silently labors 

 over the washtub and ironing board in the 

 little laundries that are scattered by thou- 

 sands through New York and Brooklyn and 

 surrounding communities, yet it is very safe 

 to say that he very often lives over again in 



memory his last Sunday with his cousins 

 and friends in Chinatown, and looks for- 

 ward with much anticipation to his next 

 visit. On Saturday night he works very 

 late ; but his shop is closed on Sunday 

 morning. Then every train and trolley car 

 and ferryboat traveling in the direction of 

 Chinatown has its quota of stolid Mongolian 

 passengers. The three short streets in the 

 slum district have become a Meca, and Sun- 

 day night they are overflowing. — From 

 '■ Chinatown in New York," in Demorest's 

 Magazine for January.
