Fair is the flush of the dawning 



Over the fare of the sky ; 

 Sweet is the tangle of mus.ic 



From wild birds fluttering- by ; 

 Brilliant the glow of the sunset, 



Graceful the bound of the deer ; 

 And glad is the laugh of the children 



Ringing like joy -bells clear.

Father LangfStroth, in this 

 issue of the Bee Journal, concludes 

 the account of his " head trouble." He 

 wishes us to correct the reading of the 

 first sentence of the second paragraph 

 of his first "head trouble" article, 

 found on page 174 of the Bee Journal 

 for Aug. 4, beginning thus : "I quote 

 so largely," etc. He intended to have 

 it read as follows : 



I quote so largely from the blessed 

 book, because I hope some of my read- 

 ers, overpowered by gloomy foreboding, 

 may find help from my own personal 

 experience, and much more from their 

 confirmation by God's word. 



Not in September.— By the fol- 

 lowing announcement received from 

 Secretary Hutchinson, we learn that it 

 is now decided that the North American 

 will not meet in Washington in the 

 month of September. Bro. H. wrote us 

 thus on Aug. 6 : 



Friend York : — I am now able to an- 

 nounce officially that the North Ameri- 

 can will not meet during the G. A. R. 

 Encampment. As soon as it is known 

 definitely what societies will meet in 

 Washington near the end of the year, 

 Mr. Benton will let us know, and a date 

 will be chosen. Yours truly, 



W. Z. Hutchinson. 



Now that it is finally decided to hold 

 the convention later in the season, there 

 will be ample time for everybody to 

 prepare to attend when the time does 

 come. It will also give Bro. Hutchin- 

 son, and other leaders, a better chance 

 to "fix up "a fine programme for the 

 occasion. It should be made the largest 

 and best convention ever held by the 

 Association, as it will be a most favor- 

 able opportunity to impress the authori- 

 ties at Washington with the fact that 

 bee-keeping is no mere "side-show" 

 following the " agricultural circus." 



Prof. H. W. Wiley has again 

 been heard from — this time in reply to a 

 letter which we wrote him, asking what 

 he " meant by the last sentence of his 

 letter on page 77 of the Bee Journal 

 for July 14," referring to the words, 

 " there is a motive for it," used by the 

 Professor when speaking of apiarian 

 periodicals seeming to side with the 

 adulterators of honey. We asked him 

 if he "meant to say, or even hint, that 

 the bee-papers are in league with adul- 

 terators of honey." Here is his reply : 



George W. York & Co., Chicago, Ills. 



Gentlemen : — I am in receipt of your 

 letter, asking what is meant by the ex- 

 pression, " there is a motive for it," in 

 the letter published on page 77 of the 

 Bee Journal for July 14. In using 

 this expression I had in view the fact 

 that the bee-papers to which I alluded, 

 viz. : the American Bee Journal in 

 particular, and Gleanings in Bee-Culture,
