My son. hear the instruction Of thy
father, and forsake not the law Of thy

Let us swallow them up alive as the

Cast in thy lot among US; let US all
have one purse;
My son, walk not thou in the way
with them; refrain thy foot from their

Telllno the Bees.

The custom Of telling the bees is
often referred to by those interested
In curious happenings. In some parts
OF England it has always been the
habit to inform the bees whenever
there is a death in the family, par
ticularly when It IS that Of the mas
ter or mistress.
Some one raps upon the board sup
porting the hives and says: Mourn
with us. Master (or mistress) Of the
house is dead
It is thought that II this duty Is
neglected the bees will die, and many
old servants are fond Of telling how
the bees pine away when no one
thinks to give then the sad message.
Ave Maria.

Dust is an enemy to plant life.
Plants breathe through their leaves

Some plants need watering twice a
