EDITOR. 



Vol, nvm, July 16, 1891, No. 3, 



Editorial Buzziiigs. 



I Could smile at the grave 

 Of mj' friends ; couldn't you. 



If you knew that from heaven 

 They smiled back at you ? 



'We are sorry to learn that Mr. 

 Geo. E. Hilton, of Fremont, Mich., is 

 still suffering from the effects of la 

 grippe. He is threatened with paralysis, 

 and is very weak. This intelligence 

 came from his brother, who called at 

 our office last week. His many friends 

 will be pained to read this notice. 



A Hint to the many friends of the 

 Rev. L. L, Langstroth will be timely. 

 The amount subscribed for his annuity 

 has again become due, and we hope that 

 each one will now send him the usual 

 " free-will offering." Let every lover of 

 that "grand old man" act promptly, 

 and help to pay our debt of gratitude. 



Removal. — Circumstances have 

 made it to our advantage to remove to 

 more commodious q-uarters, and we may 

 hereafter be found at 199, 201 and 203 

 East Randolph Street — two blocks north 

 and one block east of our former loca- 

 tion. This move doubles our floor space 

 — of which we now have over 10,000 

 square feet. Our former location was in 

 the fifth floor of a building, but we now 

 occupy the tiiird floor of a building near 

 the corner of Fifth Avenue and Ran- 

 dolph Street. Our friends are always 

 welcome. 



Some One at Darrtown, O., wrote 

 us to send a copy of the Constitution of 

 the National Bee-Keepers' Union, but 

 forgot to sign any name. Who is it? 

 We cannot send anything until we know 

 to whom to address it. 



Apliides and Honey-Deuv.— 



The aphides, this year, have been more 

 plentiful than for the past many years. 

 All the trees have been loaded with 

 honey-dew. To keep it out of the clover 

 honey has been almost a superhuman 

 undertaking. Many a crop of honey has 

 been entirely ruined by it. Let none of 

 it be put upon the market — under any 

 circumstances. That would be disas- 

 trous. 



'*I^a Orippe " is Still Here.— 



There were 424 deaths in Chicago 

 during the week ending Saturday, July 

 4, an increase of 31 over the corres- 

 ponding week of last year. 



Callers were numerous last week. 

 Mr. John T. Calvert, Business Manager 

 of Gleanings, gave us a call on his way 

 to Minneapolis to attend the meeting of 

 Christian Endeavor. The next day Mr. 

 F. H. Macpherson, Associate Editor of 

 the Canadian Bee Journal, gave us a 

 friendly call. He is traveling on the 

 lakes for the benefit of his health. He is 

 slowly recovering from the accident of 

 last Winter. Success to both.
