Honey Mead is a drink which is becoming popular in some of our 

 cities within the past few years. We do not favor drinking, but if men 

 must drink something, we think the more innocent the drink the better 

 for them. 



CIT5T BEE-KEEPING. 



In the whole round of natural history, nothing is more interesting 

 than the study of the honey bee. Not only those who live in the coun- 

 try, but almost anywhere in our land, a few bees may be kept with 

 pleasure and profit. A single hive, with an "Observing Hive " filled 

 from it in the summer and placed in the parlor (see ' 'Observing Hive") 

 will furnish means to test and study the curious things about the bee. 



Not only is this true in our smaller towns and smaller cities, but even 

 in the heart of our largest cities, bees will find pasturage among the 

 millions of flowers that bloom under every window that decks the lawns
