respectiDg — if you don't bother the combs or 

 the young ones. 



But approach ihe bee-hive with any one of 

 these terrific, high-smelling " odors " or per- 

 fumes attached to your person, and the self- 

 respecting bees will pour out and sting you 

 until you leave. 



One of our readers informs us that experi- 

 ment, often repeated, proves absolutely that 

 the bee will not tolerate the insult to flowers, 

 or to womanhood, implied in the wearing of 

 the abnormal and offensive perfumes. 



Women, be guided by the wisdom of the 

 bee as you are inspired by that little animal's 

 industry. Be your ownselves. Be the nat- 

 ural flowers that Nature made you. Don't 

 allow anybody to peruade you to make your- 

 selves hideous with the perfumes that are a 

 hundred times worse than the noise of a 

 boiler-shop. 



You wouldn't go around with a horrible, 

 clanging, banging wash-boiler or beating 

 drum to disturb the people. Then don't dis- 

 turb them with "perfumes'' more vicious 

 and unforgivable than the savage tomtom. 

 Be clean. Throw perfumery away.— *'««

Forty Years Among tlie Bees, by Dr. 



C. C. Miller. — This book contains 328 

 pages, is bound in handsome cloth, with 

 gold letters and design; it is printed on 

 best book-paper, and illustrated with 

 112 beautiful original half-tone pic- 

 tures, taken by Dr. Miller himself. It 

 is unique in this regard. The first few 

 pages are devoted to an interesting 

 biographical sketch of Dr. Miller, tell- 

 ing how he happened to get into bee- 

 keeping. About 20 years ago he wrote 

 n small book, called "A Tear Among 

 the Bees," but that little work has been 

 out of print for a number of years. 

 While some of the matter used in the 

 former book is found in the new one, it 

 all reads like a good new story of suc- 

 cessful bee-keeping by one of the mas- 

 ters, and shows in minutest detail just 

 how Dr. Miller does things with bees. 

 Price, $1.00.

 apiaries or apiarian scenes. It also 

 contains 3 bee-songs, namely, "The 

 Hum of the Bees in the Apple-Tree 

 Bloom," "Buckwheat Cakes and Honey," 

 and "The Bee-Keepers' Lullaby." This 

 booklet should be placed in the hands 

 of everybody not familiar with the 

 food-value of honey, for its main ob- 

 .iect is to interest people in honey as a 

 daily table article. Price, 25 cents, or- 

 3 copies for 50 cents.
