adulterated Mexican love gets foot
hold in the system it cannot be gottel
out very easily. A couple down in Mex

style of love is more fatal than an.
other kind, and from one to three death
occur per week on account of it. So

nue. of over $8,80O,00 To reckon it an
other way, they make clear gift of on
pound of pure honey to every man, wo
man and child in the vast dominion o
the United States. In 1860 over 2S, 1888,
1888 pounds of wax was made and givel
to us by these industrious workers. Al
agricultural exchange says the keepin.
Of bees is one of the most profitable. ia
vestments that people can make Of thei
money. The profits arising from tn
sales of honey average from so to 20
per cent. of the capital invested.
