The Novelty Pocket-Knife 



(A heavier and strouger kuile than the one we offered heretofore.) 



HOWARD M. MELBEEp 



HONEYVILLE, O. 



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



Vour Name on the Knife.— When ordering, be sure to say just what name and address you 

 wish put 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 entering- into this celebrated knife is of the verv best quality; the blades afe 

 hand-forg-ed out of the very finest English 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 linings are plate brass: the back springs of Sheffield spring-steel, and the finish of the 

 handle as described above. It will last a lifetime, with proper usag-e. 



Why Own the Novelty Knife? Incaseag-ood knife is lost, the chances are the owner will 

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

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

 and you meet with a serious accident, and are so fortunate as to have one of the Noveltit's, vour 

 Pocket-Knife will serve as an identifier; and in case of death, your relatives will at once 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 accompanying cut gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact 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 $1.25, or give it as a Premium to the 

 one sending us THRKE new si'bscribers to the Bee Journal (with $3.00), and we will also send to 

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

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

granulated sugar. This was what inter- 

 ested me. I presume thai the bees gath- 

 ered it very rapidly, so that the transfor- 

 mation into glucose or levulose was not 

 complete, or as complete as usual. Thus 

 there was more of the sweeter cane-sugar 

 than in the usual honey. This was also the 

 reason why the peculiar honey-flow was so 

 little to be detected. A large tableful of 

 people all noticed the swe*>t character of 

 the honey, and the very delicate flavor. 1 

 have tasted honey made from cane-syrup 

 which was not as sweet, and was more 

 characterized by the usual honey-flavor 

 than was this. 



The past week I have been away up to 

 Julian. 38 miles from a railroad. This is in 

 San Diego County, and is in a very fin© 

 honey region. The honey crop has been 

 small, but good, and the bees are now in 

 fine condition. A. J. Cook,

Is Christianity Practical in Worldly 

 Affairs ? 



Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, author of ''In 

 His Steps." one of the most widely read 

 books in the English language, has written 

 an article which establishes the practica- 

 bility of the teachings of Christianity as 

 set torth in hi> book, which have been put 

 to the test in innumerable religious bodies 

 the world over. Mr. Sheldon declined to 

 write for publication anything relating to 

 his individual work in applying his teach- 

 ings of "In His Steps.'' until others were 

 convinced that those teachings were appli- 

 cable to everyday afl'airs. He has now 

 taken up his pen and shown that the ques- 

 tion, " What Would Christ Do V may b& 

 answered by every Christian, and the pre- 

 cept followed. " Is Christianity Practical 

 in Worldly Affairs '" will be publisht in 

 the November Ladies' Home Journal.

A New Feed Grinder.— The Electric Wheel 

 Company, whose several line« of goods are 

 familiar to our readers, are out this season with 

 a new feed grinder. Their card appears on an- 

 other page. Any who intend buying a feed 

 grinder will please write The Electric Wheel 

 Company, Quincy, 111., f()r special catalog, and 

 mention the American Bee Journal.! . l i 



. A Famous Dehorning Knife.— The advertise- 

 ment »>f A. C. Brnsius. of i ochranville, Pa.» 

 makes its first appearance in this issue of our 

 paper for the new season's business. Our read- 

 ers will remember this gentleman as being the 

 manufacturer of the now lamous Dehorning 

 Knife which has been of such great value to 

 stockmen everywhere. This is the dehorner 

 which took highest award at the World's Fair. 

 It differs from all other devices of its class in 

 the fact that it cuts evenly from tour sides at 

 once. This prevents all bruising and crushing 

 of the horn and constitutes the most humane 

 way of removing the horns. Then, too, it is a 

 (juick and safe way for both man aud animal. 

 Write Mr. Brosius for circulars, prices, etc., 

 saying you saw his advertisement in the Amer- 

 ican Bee Journal.
