The honey-bee has been an object of great interest from the very earliest ages; the most ancient historical records make frequent reference to it “A lit­ tle balm and a little honey” formed part of the present which Jacob sent into Egypt to Joseph in the time of the great famine. The “busy bee” figures also n Greek as well as Hebrew his- tory. The little creature has given a name to many females ofh'gh degree. I’he Hebrew namo of the bee (Deborah) was given to Rebecca’s nurse, as also to that magnanimous prophetess whose courage and patriotism inspired the Jagging zeal and waning energies of her dispirited countrymen. The Greek name of the bee (Melissa) was given to one of the daughters of Melisstis, King of Crete. It was she who, with her sis­ ter Amaltluea, is fabled to have fed Jupiter with the milk of goats. She is «aid, also, to have first discovered the means of collecting honey from the stores of the bees, from which some an­ cient writers inferred that she not only bore the name, but that she was a du­ ally changed into a Doe. Another Greek story tells of a woman of Corinth, also bearing the name of Mel s a, who. hav ng been admitted to officiate in the festivals of Ceres, the goddess of agriculture, afterward re­ fused to initiate others, and was torn to pieces for her disobed ence, a swarm of uees being made to rise from her body. The old Greek name for the bee seems to have fallen into d suse in this coun­ try as a name given to females, though there can be no reason why its use should not be revved, for it is, at least, is melod oils as the Hebrew name of the same significance, still applied to mony a ma’ron and maiden—a name which is expressive of honeyed sweet­ ness, as also of unwearied energy and unt r ng industry. Those who have hail personal knowl­ edge and experience of bee-culture will bear out. the remark that bees are not partis ular as to the s ze or the position of the home in which they choose to dwell, so that it suffices for them to curry on xvith security their wonderful operations. In their wild state, Cavi- t>os of rocks and hollow trees are alike available; and in their domestic condi­ tions they have no preference for a straw skop over a wooden box, nor for the wooden house over the straw castle. The bee, wh’ch, while under proper control and management, is one of man’s best friends, proves, when as­ sailed by him in any way. a terrible ad­ versary. Allusion is made to this by Moses in his story of what befell the Israelites in their wilderness sojourn: “The Amoritos came out aga nst you. and chased you as bees do. and destroyed you.” The strength and force of their sting is such as to enable them to pierce the skin of the horse and other large animals and kill them. Their ordinary speed when in flight, is from sixty to eighty miles an hour, and they have been known to fly past the windows of in express train when traveling at full peed in the same direct on. Their manner of attack is to da-h straight at ¡he object aimed at; and commonly, when excited by the presence of some unknown spectator, and especially by the intermeddling of some undexterous or mischievous petson. they will attack the face, »¡ra ng especially at the eye*. When, therefore, the thousands wn ch inhabit a single hive are aroused by the sound of alarm, well understood bv all the inmate«, to repel an invader, they sally forth with a courage and deter­ mination wlfch none can withstand, »Hacking the foes on every j side with a 14IXz 1 r aw iury it is impossible to resist.

Mungo Park. too. the African traveler, mentions a mod­ ern instance which took place near Dooproo: “We had no sooner unloaded the asses than some of the people, being ia search of honey, inopportunely dis­ turbed a large swarm of bees. They came out in immense numbers, and at­ tacked men and beasts at the same time. Luckily, most of the asses were loose, and galloped up the valley; but ______ were ve.rv the horses and neoDle much stung, and obliged to scamper off in all directions. In fact, for half an hour the bees seemed to have put an end to our jour­ ney. In the even ng, when they be­ came less troublesome and we could venture to collect our cattle, we found many of them much stung and swelled about the head. Three asses were miss­ ing; one died in the evening, and anoth­ er next morning. Our gu'de lost his horse, and many of the were much stung about the head and face.” The fierceness and unrelenting cruelty of the ancient Assyrians, and the ter­ ror with which their swarming multi­ tudes filled the inhabitants of the lands they invaded, have caused them to be likened to bees in their much-dreaded attacks on such as have aroused their anger; “And it-hall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the Jam! of Assyria. And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the deso late valleys, and in th» holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes. The “h'ss” was simply a call, in allus'on to the note of the queen bee,'as she issues her royal mandate to her ever loyal subjects to prepare for action. It has also been supposed to allude to a custom prevailing in very ancient times in connection with the bee culture, or honey-raising in the neighborhood of rivers. During th.« dry season, a number of hives would be placed on a flat-bottomed boat, in the charge of an attendant. Very early in the morning thé boat would begin th. day’s voyage, gently gl'ding down the river, the bees sallying forth with the sun to collect their gold< n stores and deposit them in their several hives, wh'ch they commonly know In some mark. The innumerable Howers on the banks of the rivers offered them a fine harvest-field. At the approach of evening the well-known whistle or “hiss” of the care-taker—a decent imitation of the queen’s own call— would bring them back to their hives in multitudes, when the boat would be paddled back to the farm or other place of rendezvous. As an article of food, and as a much- valued and even royal luxury, honey has been used from the remotest ages. Nor was it much, if anv. less in request as a healing medicine for both inward and outward application. And though it mav have fallen somewhat into disuse in the.-e days, when many good things are overlooked, and when the artific al too often supplants the real, it may be safely predicted that the wide and rapid spread of b e-culture will induce a re­ turn to some of the wiser uses and methods and forms of adaptation em­ ployed by our early forefathers, as well as simulate to new applications and developments of its wondrous powers. When and by whom mead or metheg lin was first made from honey, could not lie cas.ly determined. The two words are not unfrequently applied to lhe same liquor; but that is not correct, as they are dissimilar. Both, however, aré made from honey, sometimes also from the refuse or washings of the comb. Queen Elizabeth had such fond­ ness for metheglin as to prescribe care­ fully how it should be made and with what a variety of herbs it should be flavored. In Wales, it long continued to be held in high esteem; and its vari­ ous beneficial properties have been quaintly set forth in a letter ad­ dressed to Cliffe, the historian, by the learned Welshman, Rev. James Howells (born 15'J4), brother of Thomas How­ el’», some time Bishop of Gloucest- r and Bristol. The uniqueness of the communication is the apology for its quotation in full: S ir —To Inaugurate a new anil jovial new year unto you, I send you a morning's draught namely, a hottie of metheglin).
