Just when bees were introduced into the
United States is a matter Of speculation.
They were not brought by the very ear
lest colonists, though one finds mention Of
bees and honey in tales Of New England
that date back to the close of the seven
teenth century. In 1853 the Spaniards
brought them TO Florida, and whether
the Spanish padres and settlers took them
TO the Southwestern and Mexican settle

but it is presumable they did Wax for

tation was not so sure in colonial days as
on home manufacture.
The common brown or German bee was
the first that was cOlonized In America.
She proved thrifty and reliable in all
things but her temper, and that was bad.
In 1860 the Department of Agriculture
brought over some Italian bees with their
golden queen. and they have long en-
JOyed popularity among bee keepers.
About 1850 Cyprian bees were brought
from Cyprus, where they established
reputation, since unequaled. as honey
gatherers. They have also gained a more
unenviable reputation as being the most
vicious Of all bees. one keeper solemnly
affirming that a colony which he had
angered drove him with his whole family

cast his fortune with his people.
One of the finest tributes ever paid
to the character of General Lee, ap-
peared in the Sunday School Herald
OF Dayton, o., as follows:
General R E Lee has been called
A Paragon of Politeness.' He was a
royal gentleman in the home and So
cial. circle, but the same spirit was ex-
hibited in the camp and on the march
He was always and everywhere the re-
fined gentleman. And ne was more
than this-he was a devout and hum
bic Christian in every walk of life
The Christian spirit was ever q con-
spicuous manifestation. Lee never
spoke a scurrilOus word of the FEEDER
al army. He would speak of the Fed
erals as General Grants folk or as
Our friends over the river He was
a man of clean lips One has said:
A soldier would as soon have thought
OF kissing the lips of a raging volcano
as of telling coarse jest in his pres
ence-' Could more be said of the
brave general? Yes, more, even as
the Christian counts more with God
than the polished gentleman. The
chaplains in their work has constant
encouragement from the General. and.
better yet, Lee gathered with his men
in their camp prayer meetings and took
humble part in the exercises. No
wonder his men loved him and fol-
lowed where he led, even though it
were into the cruel jaws of death.
The bravest may be the best. and
courage, courtesy, and tie Christian
spirit may be clements of the same
character"

overcome his sense of duty; if he had
desired to be known in history as q
conqueror, and hailed as the savior of
the Union. his sense of duty would not
