It was in that year that other resi- dents of the province than aplarists "began to take mote of the province's ~~ honey production and the local pro- duct began to seize the domestic mar- "ket in preference to the fmported 'honey. To-day Manitoba is in a posi- "tion to adequately meet its own needs' in this regard. In 1918 the honey crop of Manitoba was a little lower than the previous year, averaging 64 pounds per hive, nd making a total of 944,104 pounds. The price, however, was substantially higher, ranging from 25 cents to 85 cents per pound. In that year 180 + t the f year the provincial honey crop was estimated at 900,000 0 y , the average yield per colony was only 60 pounds, making a total of 160,000 pounds, which was sold at 36 cents per pound. This was fol lowed by a very favorable season for apiculture, some engaged in the cult reporting productions of close on ten tons.

He sings; and his song is heard, Pure as a joyous prayer, n The trickster asks a spectator to shuffle a pack of cards and to select a card, holding the cards face down so that neither he nor anyone else can see which card he selects. Without looking at the card, he puts it face down in an envelope which the trickster seals, The trickster holds the envelope at arms length and de- clares that, with X-Ray eyes, he will look through the envelope and name the card within. He mames a card and opens the en- velope to disclose the card he named. The trick is largely in the en- velope. This is prepared, really two envelopes being used. One envelope 1s pushed into the other and the flaps are pasted together. If this Is neatly done the envelope will not seem to be prepared. Be- fore the flaps are pasted together, a card is taken from the pack and put in the outer envelope between the second envelope and the front of the first. The selected card goes into the inner envelope. The flap is sealed down and most of the trick is done. The trickster names the card he put in the en- velope in the first place and opens the envelope by tearing a hole in the front. While the card is be- ing examined he absentmindedly puts the torn envelope in his pocket. There he exchanges the torn but prepared envelope for one which is torn but not pre- pared.
