It was the general opinion of those present that all honey-packages should be nicely labeled, and leaflets attached, giving the properties and vir- tues of pure honey. The next question was: "Is it practicable to introduce instruction in bee-culture into our common schools ?" Frank Benton stated that entomology was taught in Washington schools. Mrs. Harrison said that Natural His- tory in the Peoria, 111., schools included a study of bees. BEE-DISEASES AND THEIR TREATMENT.

Mr. Poppleton said that he thought he had lost 10,000 pounds of honey from damage to his colonies by bee-paralysis. Others present considered it of minor consequence. The gen- eral opinion was that no remedy yet proposed hit all cases. A. F. Brown said that foul brood had made its appearance in Florida, and that he had lost 288 colonies.

Gleanings for Dec. 15, is a Langstroth number, a dozen pages being filled by leading men from both sides of the Atlan- tic, with tributes of well-deserved praise to the man we all de- light to honor. Some extracts follow : LANGSTROTH'S invention—THE MOVABLE FRAME. Langstroth's name is closely connected with his invention, and this has certainly placed bee-keeping upon an entirely dif- ferent footing to what it occupied before the advent of the frame hive.
