Your Voiceless Lips, oh, flowei'S, are living 

 preachers, 



Each cup a pulpit, and each leaf a book. 

 Supplying to my fancy numerous teachers 



From the loneliest nook. 



Dr. C. E. Rullison, an apiarist of 

 Flushing, Micb., died on Dec. 22, 1890. 



Mr. G. H. Knickerbocker's wife 

 " is now on the road to a full recovery." 

 This we are glad to learn from Mr. K. 

 liimself. Her illness has prevented him 

 from furnishing the report of the New 

 York State Convention. We expect to 

 give some more of it next week. 



Helping, by sharing the responsibility, 

 is the view which Milo George, Bowling 

 Green, O., takes of being a member of 

 the National Bee-Keepers' Union. He 

 says : 



Suppose it may never benefit one-half 

 of the members individually, I feel that 

 every bee-keeper in America should be- 

 long to it, so as to help some others out 

 of trouble. I think that it is their duty 

 to join the Union I 



Easter Joy is an excellent Easter-day 

 exercise for Sunday schools, just issued 

 by the enterprising music publishers, S. 

 W. Straub & Co., 243 State Street, Chi- 

 cago. It contains beautiful songs, well 

 selected scripture readings, choice reci- 

 tations, etc. Price only 5 cents. 



There are Wants and wants and 

 wants — and there are so many of them, 

 that we have concluded to create a De- 

 partment in the American Bee Jour- 

 nal, for making them known in an 

 inexpensive but elScient way. Many 

 have desired such a Department hereto- 

 fore, and now that we have more room 

 than formerly, we can accommodate 

 them. Ten cents a line will now let 

 your small wants be known — if you ivant 

 to do so. 



Sickness and Death in the family of 

 friend Chas. F, Muth, of Cincinnati, O., 

 prevented his attending the Ohio State 

 Convention at Toledo, last week, or pre- 

 paring his essay in time for that meet- 

 ing. The essay may be found on page 

 260. Three of his grand-children were 

 attacked with diphtheria, and two of 

 them died on one day; the other is ap- 

 parently recovering. The Bee Journal 

 extends its sympathy to the bereaved 

 family. 



Stolen America, a Story of Bermuda, 

 by Isobel H. Floyd, is the title of an in- 

 teresting novel, just received from the 

 authoress, 56 Clark St., Jersey City 

 Heights, N. J. 



She is an alarmist, who thinks that 

 the time may come when Great Britain 

 may be desirous of interfering with the 

 United States. Then she imagines that 

 with Canada at the Northern boundary, 

 and Bermuda as her naval stronghold, 

 so near to the Eastern coast, she may 

 become extremely dangerous. Her 

 patriotic appeal is in the form of a love 

 story, and will be read with interest, 

 even without endorsing her alarm and 

 fear.
