could not get down to the factory long- 

 enough to tell the new man something 

 about the new work. 



One day I was greatly surprised to see 

 him on the street, looking fairly well. I 

 stopt ray buggy, and askt him to get in and 

 ride. Then I began to ask him what doctor 

 or what means had been used that be should 

 be so much better. What do you think he 

 said ? Why, it is the old story. His last 

 doctor was sensible enough to tell him that, 

 in his opinion, it was the tvbncco he used 

 that was killing him. and that be would 

 have to make his choice and do it soon — to 

 go on with his tobacco, just as he was. 

 doing, and dw, or give it up and live. 



The doctor told him he had tobacco heart, 

 and the announcement waked him up some- 

 what. He said if tlud was the case he would 

 stop then and there and stop mtirdy. He- 

 did stop and gained so rapidly that in two 

 or three days he was out on the street, and 

 has been at work a good deal of the tim& 

 for 10 hours a day for several weeks. He 

 says he has a terrible fight with the old 

 habit, but physically he is gaining strength 

 every day. He seems glad to talk about it, 

 and to tell his friends his experience, and 

 has given me permission to tell it here in 

 print. 



A particular friend of mine, who takes 

 care of my teeth, in speaking of Mr. Herk- 

 ner's case, said he too had quit the use of 

 tobacco in all shapes. He said he was get- 

 ting to a point in life where he needed all 

 the nerves there were to be had — that is, in 

 order to do his difficult and intricate work 

 as it ought to be done — and be had satisfied 

 himself that tobacco saps the nerves of life 

 more than any other one thing. 



Well, there afe several more right around 

 here who are getting very rapidly to this 

 very point, where it is a matter of life and 

 death. No doctor can do anything for any 

 man when tobacco is killing that man. un- 

 less he gives up its use ; and our best physi- 

 cians are asking their patients, " Which 

 will you dp— use tobacco, and die, or give it 

 up and //i)e.i"' A. I. RoOT. 



We never have been able to comprehend 

 why any one who desires to be clean and 

 healthy should want to use filthy tobacco 

 in any form. Tobacco contains a poison, 

 and must naturally, to a more or less ex- 

 tent, be injurious to those who indulge in 

 its use. Better let it alone, and be both 

 cleaner and healthier. 



No Surplus Honey. 



Cold days have commenced to make their 

 appearance here. My bees are all in their 

 winter quarters on the summer stands. 

 Last winter I lost all but 3 colonies ; not on 

 account of the cold weather, but the snow- 

 drifts would block up the entrances. The 

 past season I increast the 'A to S colonies. 

 Besides all the honey they gathered. I had 

 to give them .Vi pounds of sugar to supply 

 them for the winter. Using all the honey 

 for the bees I had not a bit left for myself. 

 I hope to have iietter luck this winter, and 

 wish the best success to the American Bee

Common Elater op Spring Beetle. 



Prof. A. J. Cook :— I mail you a queer in- 

 sect, the name of which I cannot fiud. No 

 one around here knows anything about it. 

 I sent it to the office of the American Bee 

 Journal, but Mr. York advised me to send 

 it to you. When it was alive, and when 

 taken between the thumb and finger, it 

 would thump its head upon the table. It 

 was not as black as now. It was found un- 

 der the bark of an old tree.

[The insect is one of the common Elater 

 beetles. These are often called spring beet- 

 les, as when placed on their back they will 

 spring up, often several inches, and strike 

 on their feet. They do this by means of a 

 peculiar spring-pole arrangement on the
