How the: Bees lode to Mill.

In the county of Surrey, England,
there are great fields of, lavender, and
roses, aed heiiotropes, and geranium,
where these sweet scented things are cul-
tivated for the perfumers.
I remember once riding through thirty
acres Of lavender when it was in full
bloom.
Men women and children we're busy
cutting the long stalks on which the pref
ty little purple buds nestled so close to-
gether, piling them on tho carts to be
carried to the crushiug-mill and the dis
tillery.
l think lever shall forget the sweet
smell that tloated over the country, or the
hum of the bees, as they followed the
carts all along the road, settling down OH
the lavender, and sticking so closely to it
that they can neither be shaken nor
beaten off: And SO, from their love of
these sweet flowers, they say there are
thousands of them crushed in the great
mill; and never see the tastlly labelled
bottles of lavender water in the perfum-
ers' stores but think of my ride through
that great purple field, and Of the poor
bees ride to the crushing mill. Youths
