The Novelty Kn'fe is indeed a novelty. The novelty lies in the

 transparetit as glass. Underneath tiie celluloid, on tme side of tbe 

 handle, IS plaiPd the n^ra^ and resid nee I'f any one desir- d, and on the 

 oiher side pictures ot a yueen. Drone aud Worker, as sho au heie.

 silver, and w. 11 nevt-r ru<^t or corrcde. Therivets aie hardened German
