The Man who fears to go his way alone. 

 But follows where the greater number tread, 



Should hasten to his rest beneath a stone ; 

 The great majority of the men are dead. 



—Life. 



A General Gathering: of bee- 

 keepers will occur on Sept. 8, 1892, at 

 the Fair Grounds at Hamline, Minn. It 

 will not be a regular convention, but 

 held for the express purpose of giving 

 the bee-keepers a chance to become ac- 

 quainted with each other, as well as 

 with the working of the State associa- 

 tion ; and above all, to make arrange- 

 ments regarding their exhibit at the 

 World's Fair next year. Mr. A. K. 

 Cooper, editor of the Bee-Keepers' Maga- 

 zine and Secretary of the Minnesota 

 Bee-Keepers' Association, and Mr. J. P. 

 West, the President, will be in attend- 

 ance at Hamline. 



On Pretty Good Terms.— 



Friend Hutchinson, of the Bee-Keepers' 

 Review, always has some good sugges- 

 tions to offer — a kind of " special topics" 

 we presume. In his August number we 

 find the following observation and hint : 



The bee-keeping editors are all now 

 on pretty good terms with one another. 

 If there is one of them holding a 

 "grudge" against another member of 

 the fraternity, I'll tell him how to get 

 his revenge, if he must have it. Let 

 him keep perfectly still about it, but go 

 quietly to work and so improve his own 

 journal that it will "run out" the other 

 fellow. 



But we don't know of anybody that we 

 want to "run out," though of course 

 the item was not meant for us, as we 

 have no " grudge " against anybody. If 

 a brother editor has a " grudge " against 

 us, we would advise him to "drop it," as 

 holding on to it won't make him any 

 happier, or us either. So far as we 

 know, there is now perfect harmony 

 among bee-editors, which is just as it 

 should be. 



Mrs, Stephen Berry, while out 

 looking at her flowers recently, was 

 stung on the right temple by a honey-bee. 

 She went into the house and was im- 

 mediately taken ill. Before a physician 

 arrived, she died. Death occurred within 

 thirty minutes of the time when she was 

 stung. According to medical opinions 

 the poison was implanted in an artery, 

 and, entering directly into the circula- 

 tion, quickly found its way to the heart. 

 She was 35 years old. 



The Boy in the following amusing 

 anecdote seemed to feel much-abused : 



" Why, Willie, why are you crying so?" 

 "Boo-hoo ! Mamma won't let me have 

 any sugar on my honey." 



Great Britain, during the month 

 of June, imported honey to the value of 

 nearly $18,000.
