The Novelty Pocket-Knif e 



(A heavier and strong'er knife than the one we offered heretofore.) 



HOWARD M. MELBEE, 



HOHEYVILLE, O. 



(This Cut is the Full Size of the Knife.) 



Your ^anle on the Knife.— When ordering, be sure to say just what name and address you 

 ^vish imt on the Knife. 



The Novelty Knife is indeed a novelty. The novelty lies in the handle. It is made beautifully 

 of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as plass. Underneath the celluloid, on one side 

 of the handle is placed the name and residence of the Subscriber. 



The Material eiiterinfr into this celebrated knife is of the very best quality: the blades are 

 hand-forgred out of the very finest Eusjlish razor-steel, and we warrant every blade. The bolsters 

 are made of German silver, and will never rust or corrode. The rivets are hardened German silver 

 wire: the lininsrs are pl.ate brass: the back springs of Sheffield spring-steel, and the finish of the 

 iandle as described above. It will last a lifetime, with proper usage. 



Why Own the Novelty Knife? In case a good knife is lost, the chances are the ownerwill 

 never recover it; but if the Novelty is lost, having name and address of owner, the finder v. ill re- 

 turn it; otherwise to try to destroy the name and address, would destroy the knife. ^ If tr.Tveling. 

 and you meet with a serious accident, and are so fortunate as to have one of the Novelties, your 

 Pocket-Knife will serve as an identifier; and in case of death, your relatives will at ono.e be ap- 

 prised of the accident. 



How appropriate this knife is for a present '. What more lasting memento could a mother 

 .give to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a lady to a gentleman, the knife having 

 the name of the recipient on one side? 



The accompanving cut gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an e-Kact representation of 

 this beautiful knife, as the " Novelty " must be seen to be appreciated. 



How to Get this Valuable Knife.— We send it postpaid for SI. 25, or give it as a Premium to the 

 one sending us three nevi- subscribers to the Bee Journal (with $3.iXl), and we will also send to 

 each new name a copy of the Premium Edition of the book. Bees a.nd Honey. We will club the 

 Novelty Knife and the Bee Journal for one year, both for $1.90.

The Oliver Typewriter. 



IT TOOK 25 YEARS to find out that typewriters have been built up-side-down. 



The OLIVER is built rig-ht-side up, where the WORK IS IN SIGHT. 



THE OLIVER IS POPULAR because it is an up-to-date typewriter, not in the 



Trust, and because it shows every word .\s you write it.

yard seem no attraction tor tbem. Indeed, 

 I see them on nothing but the poppies, and 

 they act as if they would devour every 

 flower — roll and dive into the pollen like 

 crazy things — but are shy of the many other 

 flowers in the garden. Well, I don't com- 

 plain. Guess they know their business. At 

 all events they are multiplying and seem- 

 ingly happy. I am wondering if they'll 

 make me a nice lot of filled sections. No 

 sign of it yet. Dk. Peiro.

Bees Had a Hard Time. 



The bees have had a hard time of it — al- 

 most continuous rain. I had very little 

 surplus fromiour two spring honey plants — 

 salmonberry and vinemaple — just enough 

 to feed back now. I lost one colony out of 

 30, but have increast now to 33.

White Clover Fails to Yield. 



You can put me down for blasted hopes 

 as far as honey is concerned this year. 

 Clover fails to yield, tho pastures are white 

 with it. Bees are just about holding their 

 own. I am in hopes they will get enough 

 to carry them thru till fall, as we generally 

 get some honey from heart'sease.

Keep Your Temper. 



Be good-tempered. It pays in every way; 

 it pays if you are an employer; it pays if 

 you are an employee; it is profitable in 

 every walk of life. And this is taking the 

 most selfish view. You owe it to others to 

 be good-temperpd ; you owe it to your own 

 mauhood. to your own self-respect. In 

 making others comfortable, you are making 

 things agreeable for yoursell : you are gain- 

 ing and keeping goodwill, which may be of 

 value and help to you hereafter; you are 

 accumulating a capital of popularity and 

 good report which may be used to advan- 

 tage, perhaps at a critical lime. Good tem- 

 per is a great factor in success. — Business.
