. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. 612 AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL Sept. 25, 1902. excuse for not having these two articles in every house where there is any occasion for their use ; and vfhen they are provided, let them be used whenever there is a letter or postal to write. One thing more, good writing paper is cheap enough so that there is no excuse for using the thin, slazy, spongy, dingy stuff that is sometimes used. I am led to make these suggestions, as so many com- munications come to this office, and I presume it is the same at other offices, which are written in pencil on a postal, and the shuffling about in the mails often rubs the writing until it is scarcely visible. Then, to add to the difficulty, the writer often miscalculates the length of his communication, and, as he approaches the bottom of the card, he crowds the words closer and closer, and writes finer and finer, and the signature is so crowded that it is often impossible to decipher it. If you find that a postal will not hold all that you wish to write, throw it aside and take a sheet of paper. If one sheet will not hold it, take another. Attention to these things will add greatly to the com- fort of those with whom you have correspondence, and may be to your own advantage, as a communication that is un- decipherable, or that is misunderstood, may result in a serious disappointment to the writer. By way of postscript, however, it may be well to say that if you have learned some fact as to bee-keeping that has not before been given to the public, no matter how little a fact, editors will be glad to have you write upon "any old thing " in any old or new way, just so they get the fact, and they will appreciate it all the more if they can read it first time trying.
