The convention of the New York Democ-
raey was rather tame affair. The row
which usually gives great eclat to such oc-
casions was avoided this year by complete
surrender to Tammany's demands. John
Kelly was spelling for a fight, bat there was
nobody with courage enough to fight him.
The voice of the majority of the delegates
selected is evidently for Cleveland and of
course this fact will have great influence

Hi. boy! I've come to get some more =
Those apples that had before
Yes, these, my little shaver.
One bite brings back my boyhood; I'm
Transported to by-gone time
By their familiar flavor.
Alas! since from neighbours trees

With cheeks to crimson shaded.
And taste like this-a pleasant tart
And sound and perfect to the heart,
Full twenty years have faded.
How often, on the way to school.

Beneath that fruity shadow,
Through which the sun of summer bright
Cast down dappled net of light
Upon the emerald meadow
And how that leafy covert rang
When all the feathered minstrels sangi
The twitter of the linnet,
The merry robins gurglina gush,
The bluebird, bobolink, and thrush
hear them all this minute.
And there sweet Kitty Ransom came
With eyes of blue and cheeks a-fiame.
AS home from school she wendell
AS nimble footed as a fawn,-
A fieck of light upon the lawn,
OF grace and goodness blended.

S.lers; if neglected, in a few years time
it will be impossible to get the informa-
ton, as those who can give the knowl-
edge will have past away. Such a work
was accomplished by DIR. Dance in the
West Indies many years ago, and did
much good. We may have common
weeds among us that are valuable but
with the nature of which we are at pres
ent unacquainted. Scientific men gener-
ally visit the State in winter at which
time the annual plants have died down,
therefore the work should be prosecuted
during the summer months. We have
no doubt that many plants that are con-
sidered peculiar to other countries may
be found growing in Florida.

pie mentioned the fact of comb honey
being free from the moth providedit had
Mr.. Watson Allen thought it required
fumigation at least once after removal
from the hive.
The report of the committee on
Questions" was here given. Let me
state that the ''Question Box was a
large smoker and the question written
upon slips of paper were dropped into it.
Could there be more appropriate bal
keepers convention than smoker?
QUESTION. Do young bees winter as
well as old ones? Answer. Very much
better.
Q. Is it certain that bees know each
other by the scent? A. Yes, their scent
or some other cause.
A. Yes.
Q. Will a colony which has just
swarmed as readily accept a queen be-
fore cutting out cells as after? A. No.
Q. Should the publishers of our bee
journals deal in supplies? A.. Yes.
Q. Is there any egg-keeping compound
that will keep queens eggs over winter,
to hatch in spring? A. Yes, queens
ovaries.
@. Will the discussion of the subject

Notes from Pinellas.

AT last the spell is broken-the earth
is wet and the sky is reeking with mois-
| ture-even now it drizzles. The great
mango tree "near the WE'LL" unable to
bear up another feather, gave way un-
der the weight of the water which the
leaves and fruit caught, and the last half
OF the top now rests on the props which
keep it from tearing entirely off and
| falling to the earth--mother earth-yes,
it must go back soon from whence it
came--a sad job for me to detach it and
drag it off. But no use to cry over split
milk-may be it will make the growth
extra in year or two. They bear too
heavily any way. Some said, "you
should have picked off half the fruit"
another, ''you should have tied it up and
propped it." Oh, yes-well-you, read
er, may profit by this calamity and adj
vice; it is too late for me. / 90 out,

the fruit to shed woefully-but the ways
OF Providence are queer; they may

then these wrinkles on my brow will be

in April bring big prices; this 1 know
