1t is PALESTINE unique geographical
position that enables her to produce
such fine honey. Here the flora of
three different continents meet, and this
fact coupled with other circumstances,
has made the conditions in Palestine

apiary on novel lines. They conceived
the ingenious idea of furnishing the
bees with material for honey making
purposes throughout eight months of

(kTOO much heathenism" in the
preparations for the modern
u wedding ceremony is soundly
berated by the Rev. Harvey
Klaer, Of this city, in a recent sermon
on marriage.
And this being near the season of
roses, orange blossoms and brides the
Rev. Mr.. Klaer's remarks are timely
and worth thinking over both by the
happy couples-to-be themselves and
by their overzealous friends.
Marriage is a solemn ceremony. not
a thing 10 be made a brunt for prac-
tical Joking. the singing Of old shoes
and the tieing of tin cans to the bridal
couples cab. Deck the bride with
orange blossoms and lilies of the val
ley; dress the bridegroom in raiment
fit for king; but placard their suit
case and their little cottage with
clever 90 wittiCisms-never.
Dr. Klaer is right. There Is too
much heathenism in the modern we'd
ding. When folks get over the idea
that wedding is a joke they may be
in a fair way TO get over thinking
marriage itself is ? joke. Let there be
levity and good nature at the bridal
bower. for the joining Of a pair of
loving souls into the holiest Of bonds is
no cause for tears; but none of the
rude jesting and pointless joking that
mar so many wedding ceremonies.
Practical jokes are getting to be too
ancient to be funny anyway.

tude. they waited until the flowers OF
that locality were over. and then con-
veyed the hives on camel-back to a
higher place, thus following up the
consecutive blossoming of different
flowers. They were even able to sepa-
rate the produce of these overworked
bees into orange blossom honey"
thyme honey" and so on, with each
succeeding flower. BY using modern
extraction machinery and replacing
the combs, one hundred hives were
made to yield no less than six tons
of honey in the year. This is nearly
three times as much honey per hive
as the maximum yield on the great
honey farms of Australia and America.

Bunny was a lovable character. His

TADPOLEs AND WELFARE WORK

THE Legislature defeated the local
option bill, and that settled it
- for this session. The Senate and
House will reach conclusions on
the child labor bill this week, and
that will settle the long debate over
this measure for another two years.
The workmen's compensation bills will
be put up to the Governor as the MEM
bers and senators want them. and that
will settle the compensation dispute.
Thus are matters of vital import to
the welfare of the State at large de-
cided once and for all.
But while that method is good
enough for mere taxpayers and their
progeny. it is not sufficient when the
interests of Pennsylvania frogs and
tadpoles are at stake. Only the other
day Governor Brumbaugh vetoed
frog and tadpole protective bill and
already there is another in the Sem
ate. The rights of the bullfrogs must
and shall be protected. What would
spring be without the bullfrog chorus?
