HARMONY OF THE G(^SPELS. 



You can not imag-ine what a help this is in study- 

 ing the Sunday-si:hool lessons, or in any study of 

 the life of Christ. The four gospels of Mattliew, 

 Mark, Luke, and John, are arran.ued in iiarallel col- 

 umns, so that you can see on the s;inie page, with- 

 (mt hunting it up, just what each writer has to say 

 on a given event. It is neatly hound in cloth, and 

 quite full of explanatorj- notes. Pri(„e 35 cents. By 

 mail, 5 cts. extra. Given fi'ee postpaid for one new

NOTES OF TRAVEL. 



Three years ago, when Uncle Amos went west, 

 many became .so interested in his notes of travel 

 that they subscribed for Gleanings mainly for 

 these notes, although not interested in bees or bee- 

 matters. The notes of travel which begin in this 

 number bid fair to be still more interesting than 

 the former series. He will be gone longer, and will 

 make many more stoiis by the way; will visit many 

 places not included in the first trip. Moreover, he 

 has taken the Kodak along', and some views will be 

 given later on. This attractive feature of Glean- 

 ings, that will doubtless continue for the ne.xt four 

 or five months, ought to help make it easy to obtain 

 new subscribers among your neighbor bee-keepers. 

 If there are those wlu') would like to have Gle.\n- 

 INGS simply for the notes of travel, we will make a 

 special otter of this last month of this j'oar and the 

 first four months of next year— that is, from now 

 until May first, for 40 cents. If you wish the jour- 

 nfil stopped at the end of that time, please so re- 

 quest in making the order; otherwise it will be con- 

 tinued till ordered stopped and arrearages paid. 

 We will send a club of three five-months' subscrip- 

 tions for $1.00, or five for $1..50. No premiums al- 

 lowed on any but lull-year stibscriptions. The 

 above club rates will give club-raisers a nice mar- 

 gin for their trouble. If j'ou appreciate our efforts 

 in trying to make Gleanings interesting and help- 



DOVETAILED HIVES, 1890 PATTERN. 



We still luue on hand nearly a thousand hives of 

 last year's pattern that we had made up and packed 

 ready foi- shipment liefore we decided on the 

 changes in the hive. There are some 41111 No. 1e 

 and tiO I No. 2e. All of them, with the exception of 

 about half of the No. 1e, are just like those we 

 have been sending out the past sea.son, with thick 

 top-fi-ames, except that they are X inch narrower, 

 leaving no room for the follower and wedge in the 

 super or division -boai-d in the brood-chamber. 

 There are many who do not care for the.se extras 

 who would nt)t bother with them for the extra con- 

 venience they attord. We have been using, in oui' 

 aiiiaiy, side by side, some of these hives, together 

 with the new ones }i inch wider, and have experi- 

 enced very little inconvenience. We don't like to 

 have these in our way, with danger of their ffet- 

 ting mixed with the new hives in filling orders. 

 To make an extra inducement to clean them out 

 quickly, we otter them at the following inices. 

 which are 25 per cent lower than (iresent prices of 

 the regular pattern. We would rather .sell them 

 below co.st than keep tliem any longer. We will 

 allow the .same (luantity discounts and early-order 

 discounts and dealers' discounts on these' prices 

 that we do on our regular list.

Complete with sections, separators, and founda- 

 tion starters for sections, add 1.5c each to No. 1e, 

 and 30c each to No. 2b;. This will include wood (not 

 tin) separators. Tin separators, 5c extra on each 

 super. There surely was never as good a hive 

 ottered for any thing like such a price, and they 

 ought not to remain here long at this rate. It is 

 needless to say we will make no more when these 

 are used up. 



DODECAHEDRON P.iPER-WEIGHTS. 



A year ago we made a special importation from 

 Germany of 1000 of the beautiful glass paper-weights 

 of which the above is a very poor representation. 

 Nothing would be more appropriate for a bee-keep- 

 ei-, as it illustrates the mathematics of the honey- 

 cell to perfection. It is such a beauty that any- 

 body will be pleased and delighted with it. No 

 matter which way you turn it, you will be charmed 

 by new beauties. The above cut gives the actual 

 size. When we found it in < hicago it was retailing 

 at .50 cents; but buying lOUO of them we ,a-ot them at 

 a figure that enables us to .sell them at 20 cents 

 each, or 6 for $1.00; one dozen for $1.80. By mail, 3 

 cts. extra on one; 12 cts. extra on 6, or 20 cts. extra 

 per dozen for postage, and packiTig to prevent in- 

 jury. We will send one free postpaid for a new 

 subscription to Gleanings with W.oO; or for a new 

 subscriiition, with your own renewal, with $2.00, 

 and 5 cts. for postage, we will .send two; or, if you 

 prefer, we will send one and a copy of any of the 

 following books, you iiaying postage (5 c.): Merry- 

 banks and His Neighbur; Stepjiing Heavenward; 

 Christian's Secret of a hajjpy Life, paper; R(jbinson 

 Crusoe, papei ; or any of the following, and we will 

 pay ijostage; Revi.sed New TestamiMit; Ten-cent 

 Dictionary; Child's One-syllable Primei-.
