THE AMERICAN BEE KEEPER. 



July 



Sincerity, 



The ouly couclusive evideuce of a 

 man's siuceiity is tJiat he gives himself 

 for a principle. Words, money, all 

 things else, are comparatively easy to 

 j^ive away, but when a man makes a 

 gift of his daily life and practice it is 

 plain that the truth, whatever it may 

 be, has possession of him. — James Kus- 

 Bell Lowell. 



Freckles. 



The uose is very apt to freckle, even 

 when no other part of the face is affect- 

 ed in the same way. These little brown 

 spots can be removed by putting on the 

 nose this lotion: Lemon juice, 3 ounces; 

 vin«?gar, 1 ounce; rosewater, ] ounce; 

 Jamaica rum, 1 ounce. Apply this with 

 a sponge several times a day. 



Loud Talkers and Low Speakers. 



"Funny writers and stage comedians 

 make the mistake cf representing coun- 

 try petjple as very loud talkers," re- 

 marked Colonel Leonard Ainsworth of 

 Arkansas. "As a matter of fact, per- 

 sons who are accustomed to the quiet 

 and solitude of rural life speak in a very 

 low tone of voice, while those who live 

 in the constant din and nerve racking 

 noises of the city naturally acquire the 

 habit of talking loudly. The reason for 

 the difference is plain. When you city 

 folks meet on the street, you have to 

 elevate your voices to a high pitch in 

 order to make yourselves heard. I nev- 

 er come to St. Louis or visit any other 

 large city that I don't soon get a sore 

 throat from overexerting my voice. Of 

 course, you who live here are used to 

 the strain on your voice and don't suffer 

 from it as I do. 



"If you ever heard an Indian talk, 

 you will realize the force of what I say. 

 I never saw a real Indian that spoke 

 much above a whisper. He illustrates 

 exactly what I mean. The Indian lives 

 in quiet and solitude. His atmosphere 

 is not filled with noises and tympanum 

 piercing sound.s. Consequently he does 

 not have to elevate his voice in carrying 

 on conversation. Your city arab, the 

 counterpart of the Indian, talks loud 

 enough when he comes to Arkansas to 

 be heard in the next county."-
