Bees, in places where Fall flowers abound, will be well supplied with Winter stores. The late warm spell has been very valuable to fruit and flowers. Where there has been no rain, it has dried up vegetation, and some prairie fires have resulted. Foreigfii Mails, —The Govern- ment has just issued orders to the Customs Department of the Postoffice, to confiscate all photographs, prints, and other reproductions of artistic or natural objects coming per mail; and stating that in future they must be sent by express company, and regular customs entry and duty paid on import going through the United States stores. This Rule does no good, and much harm. Just think of the abominable administrative tyranny of confiscating a private letter from Europe, for instance, simply because it contained a photograph of father or mother, wife or child, who happened to be over there ! It is an outrage and a scandal upon our preten- sions to civilization. We well know what it means to import small packages by express. The delays in delivering, the Custom House exac- tions and broker's charges, the days wasted in waiting for what should be promptly received, are discouraging and exasperating. liutier's LrCtters on apiculture w^ere republished as
