THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



^p^ccial 1|otices, 



Examine the Date following your 

 name on the wrapper label of this 

 paper; it indicates the end of the 

 month to which you have paid your 

 subscription on the Bee Journal. 



For safety, when sending money to 

 this office get either a post office or ex- 

 press money order, a bank draft on 

 New York or Chicago, or register the 

 letter. Postage stamps of any kind 

 may be sent for amounts less than one 

 dollar. Local checks are subject to a 

 discount of 25 cents at Chicago banks. 

 American Express money orders for 

 $5, or less, can be obtained for 5 cents. 



"We wish to impress upon every one 

 the necessity of being very specific, 

 and carefully to state what they desire 

 for the money sent. Also, if they live 

 near one post office, and get their mail 

 at another, be sure to give us the ad- 

 dress we already have on our books. 



Honey as Food and Medicine. 



A new edition, revised and enlarged, 

 the new pages being devoted to new 

 Recipes for Honey Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in which honey is used, and 

 healthful and pleasant beverages. 



We have put the price of them low 

 to encourage bee-keepers to scatter 

 them far and wide. Single copy 6 

 cents, postpaid ; per dozen, 50 cents ; 

 per hundred, $4.00. On orders of 100 

 or more, we print, if desired, on the 

 cover-page, "Presented by," etc., 

 (giving the name and address of the 

 bee-keeper who scatters them). This 

 alone will pay him for all his trouble 

 and expense — enabling him to dispose 

 of his honey at home, at a good profit.

 three cent denomination, accepted for 

 fractional parts of a dollar; but money 

 is preferred.

1^ " The Bonheur des Dames ; or, 

 TheShopGirls of Paris." Euiile Zola's 

 new novel, just published by T. B. 

 Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia, is 

 his greatest, most finished, and most 

 absorbing romance. It opens up an 

 entirely new field in fiction, and will 

 be seized upon with avidity by count- 

 less hosts of readers. In nothing 

 Zola has written is his vivid natural- 

 ism so pronounced. The scene is laid 

 in the "Bonheur des Dames" dry 

 goods store, an immense Parisian es- 

 tablishment, employing a whole army 

 of girls and men. Zola pictures this 

 store from its modest beginning, 

 showing how it grew day by day, 

 ruining rival houses, and gradually 

 monopolized all the business of a vast 

 quarter of Paris. The daily life of 

 the shop-girls and salesmen, their 

 trials, troubles, temptations and 

 triumphs are depicted in the most 

 graphic and realistic fashion. The 

 heroine is one of the shop-girls. She 

 goes through the same experience as 

 the others, but differs from the ma- 

 jority of Zola's heroines in preferring 

 purity to dissipation and its gilded 

 allurements. She is, in short, a good 

 girl ; pure, guileless and innocent. 

 Snares are set for her, but her very 

 purity enables her to escape them all 

 and come out unscathed from many a 

 trying ordeal. She ultimately reaches 

 a suitable social position, attaining 

 fortune and happiness. Price 75 cts. 



The Apiary Register. 



All who intend to be systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a 

 copy and commence to use it. 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) $1 00 



" 100 colonies (220 pages) 1 50 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 2 00 



The larger ones can be used for a 

 few colonies, give room for an increase 

 of numbers, and still keep the record 

 all together in one book, and are there- 

 fore the most desirable ones.
