 publication. We are always in need 

 of articles. 



Judging from the complimentary 

 remarks made by certain ••Bee Edi- 

 tors" and others concerning each 

 other, it is about time to form a 

 '■mutual admiration" society. About 

 the only one "not in it" would be 

 Henry Alley. In some instances it 

 is really quite sickening to the gen- 

 eral reader. 



A descriptive circular of our thin 

 outside winter case will be mailed on 



application. 



The American Bee-Journal has 

 adopted the plan of printing original 

 contributions with the lines extend- 

 ing entirely accross the page. It 

 looks well.

LITERARY ITEMS, 



The complete novel in the Septem- 

 bernumber of Lippincott's is "( 'aptain 

 Molly," by Mary A Denison, and deals 

 with the philanthropic work of the 

 Salvation Army. The heroine, a 

 banker's daughter, leaves a luxurious 

 home to dwell for a time in Paradise 

 Flats, and tries, not without success, 

 to alleviate the miseries of her neigh- 

 bors there : the hero follows her in 

 disguise, and the tale comes to an orth- 

 odox end. The three short stories are 

 of unusual merit. "Josef Helmuth's 

 Goetz," by Frederick R. Burton, is a 

 weird tale of a too imaginative musi- 

 cian and of a violin which imprisoned 

 a human soul. Will N, Harben does 

 his very best work in "The Sale of 

 Uncle Rastus," a slave whose devotion 

 to his master assumed a unique form. 

 Laura A, Smith writes of " Songs of 

 the Battle-Field," and gives speci- 

 mens of them, music as well as words, 

 from many land.-. "How I Found the 

 Baron," by Edward Wakefield, des- 

 cribes a queer piece of semi-political 

 history, including a dangerous exped- 

 ition through the wilds of New Guinea. 

 In " Head-Lines, " W.T. Lamed col- 

 lects and comments on some of the 

 worst liberties of the American press.
