THE LITTLE B. BEE.

"There are several popular errors about the ways of bees which need rec tifying," said Ike Hubbard, a honey hunter. "The average bee, instead of being an example of industry, is about the laziest thing that flies.
 Even in the busy season in midsun1- mer no bee will quit it's hive until af- ter the sun well up and has taken off the heaver part of the dew, and so soon as the sun slants towards the hills in the afternoon every bee will come fly ing home and go to roost, though dark ness is four hours away.
 "Then there are few bees that will hunt for honey from flower so long as they can find corn syrup or brown su- gar to steal. This fact is so well known to apiarists that many beekeep- CTS buy corn syrup for fifty cents a gallon and pass it along to the bees, which convert 1t into something that resembles honey, but is not honey; and still sells for the genuine product of the hives. When a man can buy syrup for fifty cents gallon and then sell it back to the trader as honey for eight dollars a gallon he can get rich right away. provided he has enough bees.
 "The greatest mistake that Is made about bees is the beief that they follow straight lines when carrying home their loads of honey. I assure you that the bee line one reads about in the books does not exist.
 "When a laden bee is going home with big load of honey in it's stomach and gread wads of pollen on it's hind legs it takes the easiest course regard less of any line. In our hilly Maine country no bee will rise in the air to surmount hill when 1t can go around the obstruction. '. "a
 When a sharp rise lies between my honey box and the bee tree every bee flies away on the arc of a circle, so as to avoid exerting itself by rising. In such cases I place my box on either side of the hill and make. my triangu- lation nearer the apex. If one were to go chasing after bee that was fyingq around hill his calculations might lead him to China.
 "The beekeepers tell us that while clover honey is the best, but l do not agree with them. Domestic honey, such as is gathered from white cloved, buckwheat and other cultivated plants, is too sweet.
 ITO my mind wild honey that is stolen from the blossoms of the dog wood and basswood and wild thyme and hints and nettles is far better than anything bought in the stores. It has gamy flavor about it that sug- gests wild woods and great trees and singing brooks and everything that lives out of doors and away from the contaminating taint of mankind.

IN DENTER.
A Recent Prominent Social Event.

4 Recent Prominent Social Event.
 The following is from the Denver (Colorado) Times of November 30. The groom is a nephew of our esteemed townsman, George O. Cruttenden, the well-known carriage manufacturer:
 In the world of weddings there has, perhaps, been no more delightful event this season that the marriage of Miss Helen Sill Woodrow, of Chillicothe, to Charles Frederick Parker, of the City of Mexico, which was solemnized last night by Rev. Monroe Markley at the home of the brides sister, Mrs. E. T. WelIes, of 1345 Franklin street. If the future of the newly-married couple partakes of the color used in the dec orations it will be a rosy one. The house was veritable symphony in pink, this color scheme being carried even to the ices and dainty place cards, upon which plump cupids with sugges- tive bows and arrows disported them selves. The bride was charmingly gowned in white crepe de chine, with touches of rare old rose point. Her veil was caught with orange blossoms and she carried white roses.
 At o'clock the Episcopal service was read and the bride was given away by her brother, J. Wilson Woodrow. Mrs. Thomas Woodrow, a picture in the gown in which, but few months ago, she took her marriage vows, acted as matron of honor. She carried pink roses. Herbert R. Woodrow, brother of the bride, was best man. Mrs. Helen Woodrow, mother of the bride, was present and wore a handsome black gown trimmed in point lace. The bridal couple entered the parlor to the strains of the "Lohengrin" wedding march, which was softly played by Miss Givens on the pipe organ which was some time ago placed in the Welles home, and be- fore bank of palms and pink chrysan- themums they took the vows which made them one.
 The groom, who is a graduate of Yale, invited many of his former fellow students to be present, and all united in wishing him the happiest future im- aginable.
 Mr. and Mrs. Parker will make their home ir the City of Mexico, where the groom is engaged in business.

THE BERKELEY SERMON.

Rev. St. Clair Hester, of Brooklyn,
 Preached Before the Students at.
 Trinity Church.
 The third of the series of Berkeley sermons was delivered at Trinity P. E. church Sunday night, the preacher be- ing the Rev. St. Clair Hester, rector of the Church of the Messiah, Brook lyn. The speaker took as his text the 4th chapter of Matthew and the 22nd verse, And He called them and they left the ship and followed Him." Leadership was the powerful theme of the discourse in which the preacher pointed out that since the days of Christ men had always looked for some one to lead them. There was, he said, deep downnin the heart of every man the longing to follow some good and true man. Monarchies had @ king for their leader. The army had its general and the navy its admiral. In politics the leader was a boss. The people sometimes get dissatisfied with bosses and they were turned down" But so soon as that was done another rose up to take his place. all of which went to show that man must and will have leader. If 1t was SO in earthly things, it must be so in religious things. Men and women crave for a leader, & guide, a shepherd; te lead them to the promised land. Pontius Pilate put the question, What shall we do with him2" It was question that came to them; a question they could not evade because 1t would come to them again and again. It was es- sential that those who did the think ing for others should be guided by a divine power. The only leader capable of leading us on to perfection. And Jesus from every consideration and ev- cry standpoint must be our leader. Our salvation, our satisfaction and our hopes was in following the Lord Jesus as our only leader sby surrenderine ourselves unto Him and following in His footsteps.

The managers of the Hamburg American line gave a grand dinner on board their new steamship "Amerika" on the evening of December '. A full description of the steamship Amerika was printed in our columns few weeks ago, and it is only necessary to say that the ship is one of the largest afloat, and perhaps one of the most luxurious of any of the many large lines now plying the Atlantic. The dinner was very elaborate affair and would have done justice to Hotel As tor, over five hundred guests, including the company's agents from all over the country and members of the press, sat down to dinner; and as will be seen from the following menu, Tt was a dish worthy of king" Amongst those those present from New Haven were Mir.
