GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Aug. 1 



that "melon" will grow down to normal size. No 

 wonder these express companies are opposed to a par- 

 cels post. 



I see by the papers that this thing is mak- 

 ing a big stir all over our land. May God 

 help us in our demand for a parcels post. 



John Wanamaker said some time ago that 

 there were a hundred reasons for a parcels 

 post, and only six reasons against it; and 

 these six reasons were— ^/je six great exj)ress 

 comj)anies.

THE $1000 TAX ON SALOONS, ETC. 



QViite often it is thrown up against the 

 Anti-saloon League that it did not turn in 

 and help, or at least not with any vim or 

 energy, when the tax was raised to $1000 for 

 each saloon: and we of the Anti-saloon 

 League have, I believe, as a rule, owned up 

 that the Anti-saloon League of Ohio and of 

 the United States has never helped to further 

 the principle of taxation for revenue. The 

 Wi7ie and Spirit News, of Columbus, Ohio, 

 explains the matter to a dot, and, in fact, 

 they are giving us some excellent "ammuni- 

 tion" in the way of suggestions in our cru- 

 sade against the saloon. Read the following: 



While we do not now, and never did, approve of such 

 a thing as the $1000 saloon tax, believing it to be out- 

 rageous, if not highway robbery, nevertheless it is a \ 

 law, and probably will remain one. At the same time 

 there never was a law enacted that did not have good 

 features attached to it, so it is possible that it may • 

 have some. For instance, it can not be denied that an 

 immense revenue will accrue to the State, MAKING 

 THE LIQUOR BUSINE.SS OP OHIO INDLSPEN- 

 SABLE TO THE STATE. 



The matter in capitals in the above hit the 

 point exactly. In other words, this revenue 

 comes by robbing poor helpless women and 

 children where there is a drunken father in 

 the home. Dear friends, can we ever, while 

 we have our senses, consent that the State of 

 Ohio should receive its revenue by depriving 

 its helpless children of necessary food and 

 clothing, and by humiliating the mothers of 

 these same children by obliging them to go 

 half fed and half clad, taking in washing 

 etc. ? Ood forbid; and may God help us, each 

 and all, to arise in our might and declare 

 that this shameful thing shall go on no longer. 



OVER FOUR MILLION LEAFLETS. 



The Wholesale Liquor-sellers' Protective 

 Bureau declare they have sent out during the 

 past year 4,582,200 pieces of literature to 

 counteract the work the temperence people 

 are doing. Now, I do not feel very much 

 worried about the " leaflets, " but I am trou- 

 bled when I see respectable home papers giv- 

 ing place to statements defending the gene- 

 ral use of beer and other spirituous liquors. 

 If they would append some signature telling 

 who made the statement, or whose opiiiion 

 it was, the public might accept it or not; 

 but in many cases we are led to believe it is 

 an editorial, and the opinion of the editor or 

 publisher of the periodical. Look out for 

 those who come to you in sheep's clothing, 

 but who inwardly are devouring wolves. 



THE WRIGHT BROTHERS' AIR-SHIP. 



The latest thing we have heard from the 

 Wright Brothers is the following, which I 

 clip from the Womaii^s Natiotial Daily: 



Dayton, O., July 19.— The aeroplane built by Or- 

 ville and Wilbur Wright is said to have been sold to 

 the French government. The machine was intrusted 

 to the Adams Express Company to-day for shipment 

 to Paris via New York. 



The above seems to indicate that they have 

 sold their invention to France, and will at 

 once make some flights as soon as the machine 

 reaches its destination. With modern facili- 

 ties the exjjress company ought to deliver it 

 in Paris so that we may soon have reports 

 in regard to their success in teaching our 

 friends across the water how to tiy. 



Later: — We clip the following from the 

 Cincinnati Enquirer: 



Dayton, O., July 20. — According to information ob- 

 tained to-day, Wilbur and Orvilie Wright, inventors 

 and builders of the Wright flyer, the only aeroplane 

 ever successfully tested in this neighborhood, have 

 practically sold their machine to the French Govern- 

 ment, and have received the first payment of the re- 

 ported purchase pricfe, 1,000,000 francs, equivalent to 

 about $200,000. Negotiations had been conducted on 

 a basis of $300 000; and that the sale has been effected 

 at a handsome figure is a matter of great satisfaction 

 to their friends,
