The Honey Crop.

The honey crop of the resent year is
not up to the standard either in quantity
or quality. In some localities the So
called "honey-dew'' has been so album
dant as even to kill the leaves of the
trees where it was deposited, and, of
course, the bees gathered it in large
quantities, and deposited it in the hives,
but it is unworthy of the name of hon
ey, not beng of the nature of that arti-
Gle at all.
But now comes worse trouble, and
it is of a two-fold nature we refer to
the uses to which this so-called ''honey-
dew secretion is put, when gathered
by the bees. To sell it for honey will
be as damaging TO the sale of pure hon
ey as to put glucose upon the market
and sell It for honey, and it should not
be done under any circumstances. A
one-pound section well-filled with this
stuff was placed on our desk few days
ago, with the question, ''What is it?n
It neither has the smell or taste OF hon
ey, and is the poorest kind of a substi-
tute for it. To all, then, the Bee Jour-
nal would say: "Do not undertake to
sell it for honey; no matter what the
amount may be which the bees have de-
posted in their surplus honey sec
tons"
The other point of the "cau tom
which we would give, is this: If the
fall crop of honey should be a poor
one, the bees may have nothing upon
which to subsist during the coming
winter, except this secretion of the
aphide, misnamed honey-dew, and the
result of such state of affairs may be
very detrimental spreading disease
and death all around.
Should there be bountiful honey
crop this fall, it will be indeed "a God
serfP' to the poor bees-savIng the
lives of millions. Let us hope that it
may be so, especially as the Eastwood
has failed in many places, and the early
havest has been, generally, but very
slight one.
In case the fall-harvest is also fail
ure. there should be close inspection
of the contents of the hives, q general
cleaning-out of the aphid@ secretion by.
the use of the extractor, and system
attic feeding of the bees with sugar
syrup, or good honey, for winter stores.
We give this word of warning thus
early, SO that no one may have an ex-
cuse for neglecting the matter until it
is too late and thus entail a severe loss
of bees during the next winter. Bee

(which means," said Kate, dropping
her official manner, ''that we have had
all this good time, and don't owe a
cent for anything, and have six dollars
and seventeen cents apiece coming
back to us" and she counted out four
little piles of money.
''And coal in the bin, and food in the
larder," added Beth.
The next month, we paid five dollars
a week each, and had surplus, and
after that, four dollars week usually
covered all expenses.
When we started, though we asked
no advice, we had floods of it, and no
end of dismal predictions. "You'll
quarrel" you'll run in debt" s'You'n
find the work too hard, y you'll get
tired Of it, and, most dreadful of all,
'You'l II be talked about
"Well," said Kate, when this was
brought up, eff a good name in the
past, and orderly living in the future,
won't save us, why. let them talk.
They must talk about something, and
while we are under discussion, some
body else will escape" So that was
disposed of. And we did not run into
debt, and we did not quarrel. 1t would
be too much to say that we never dit
fered, but our differences were never
bitter.
We used to think sometimes that
Beth shirked her share of the work, but
she was the sWeetest-tempered creature
living, and always willing to make
amends. Then we had to hold tight
rein on Kate, who was apt to want lux
uries out Of season, at exorbitant prices:
and [ was sometimes trial about the
cooking, being absent-minded. and apt
to burn things up. AS to Mamie, she
was never anything but comfort. We
didn't keep her long, for one day, to-
ward our first Thanksgiving, there was
an unusual futter in the house. We
trimmed the rooms with flowers and
tied white satin ribbon on The Climax;
the minister and a few friends came in,
and almost before we knew it Mamie
and the young architect had gone off
together in hack, with The Climax
wailing in basket on the front seat.
But this did not break up the society,
for another good friend stood ready to
fill the vacancy, and stepped promptly
in. And did we not find the work too
hardP Well, sometimes it seemed a
bother, but, divided among four, it was
not oppressive; and if the larder got
empty, or other work pressed, we took
our dinners out for a day or two.
And we did not get tired of it, but
after a three years trial of the plan, are
more and more satisfied, for it is Home.
We leave it in the morning with regret.
and return to it gladly at night, feeling
that it is ours, that we are not there on

A fierce desire to quote something-any-

but blemish to a speech? Now the

Cleveland and the Business-Men.

We have frequently stated that one great
element Of CLEvELAND's strength lies in
the fact that the businessmen OF the coun-
try are with him. As soon as he was
nominated it became apparent, from inter-
views with leading merchants, bankers.
and others in our principal cities, that he
was accepted as meeting the demand OF
conservatism, which Is but another name
for healthy business sentiment. This
idea has been steadily growing, steadily
crytalizing, until now II Is one
OF the most suggestive features OF The
campaign. While Mr.. BLAINE is making
"triumphal tour" and is being greeted
with brass hands, fireworks. and clubs
gorgeous in button-tinsel armor and tin
helmets; while the burrah boys are giving
him circus benefits, such as can be relied
upon In any city In any campaign, the
solid men are giving CLEVELAND oeniits
that are accompanied by little fuss and
fuTore, but whose influence is thousand
fold more effective with the great
mass OF the people. We allude
10 the work OF the various clubs
that have been organized In the commercial
exchanges. &C.. OF the country, for the pur-
pose Of defeating Mr.. BLAINE, aud whose
members are not carried away by any
epbemeral enthusiasm. but are actuated
by an earnest conviction that business has
all to gain and nothing to lose by change

commenting on this development OF the
campaign, says:
The organization OF clubs, composed
largely OF Republicans IN the commercial
