GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

over it again — that was all. But my blood was not 

 clogged with waste material. It was pure, and circu- 

 lating properly, caused by attention to matters named 

 above. Under these conditions I will wear an over- 

 coat a few days, if I wish, and leave it off when an ex- 

 tra-cold day comes. I will even go without my under- 

 clothes any day in winter, or sit by an open window in 

 a hall where a meeting is held, and let cold air blow 

 directly on me, or do any thing else that people gener- 

 ally think causes a cold, and no bad effeclswill fol- 

 low. I have tried the-e things enough to know. But 

 were 1 overeating — eating fiom habit when food was 

 not strongly wanted and relished, and taking in.suffi- 

 cient exercise, and brt-athing impure air largely', then 

 I should not dare to take such chances. By the way, 

 to get fresh air, the other night I got our Mr. Henry, 

 who carries a screwdriver on purpose, to take off the 

 outside storm-sash from my bedroom window. The 

 glass was out of one-fourth of the inside window, and 

 1 was glad of it, although it was zero weather. INIy 

 only fear was that they might put it in, as the sash 

 was stuck so it could not be raised ; but they did not, 

 and I breathed in good health nine or ten hours each 

 night. I believe in these matters I advocate, good 

 friends, and use them to keep in the best health.

Tobacco. 



For obvious reasons we withold the name 

 and address of the writer of the following 

 letter: 



Mr. A. I. Root:—\w the early eighties a relative ob- 

 tained a smoker from you oti the promise never to 

 use tobacco again. This proniise was not what you 

 called for. The fact is, he nez>er used tobacco. His 

 children protested at the time. He always seemed to 

 be an honest man otherwise. He passed on "over 

 the river" a year ago. I used the smoker last season 

 probably the last it will ever be used Every time I 

 lit it last summer the thought would come, " This 

 smoker never was paid for. It ought to be paid 

 for." Though I was in no way responsible for his 

 getting it. still I have used it, and don't know why I 

 shouldn't pay for it. I inclose money order for 75 

 cents. 



May the Lord be praised, dear friend, 

 that there is at least here and there a man 

 who wishes to shun even the appearance of 

 evil, and who recognizes that he is, at least 

 to some extent, "his brother's keeper." 

 Another thing, it gives evidence, at least in- 

 directly, that the present generation is more 

 honest than the one preceding it. I believe 

 it is true that mankind in general are get- 

 ting to be a little more keenly sensitive to 

 the importance of being honest in their ac- 

 tions as well as in words. Seventj'-five 

 cents is only a small matter, I know, but it 

 rejoices my heart to know that we have a 

 start made by at least one person in regard 

 to this matter of conscience. Now, is there 

 not some one else who will be moved by this 

 little story to fix up something that hap- 

 pened long ago? I do not mean to put in a 

 plea for what may be due The A. I. Rcot 

 Co., but rather for what may be due your 

 fellow-man. It is a good investment — yes, 

 a magnificent investment — as I happen to 

 \<-no\v irom personal experience. Look back 

 over your life, and pay up whatever you 

 find is not exactly square or is not what it 

 should be. It may not make you any rich- 

 er in this world's goods, but it will make 

 you richer when you come to make that last 

 review before death calls. Once more let 

 me quote, " What shall it profit a man if 

 he gain the whole world and lose his own 



soul? " Keep the voice of conscience in 

 good running order, so it may speak out 

 sharp and bright and clear. Do not snub 

 it by your acts, and make its voice so faint 

 that it will in time be no longer heard. 

 Now, dear friend, I wish it were my privi- 

 lege to give your name, but may God bless 

 you for this little act.
