CHILDS a WMRD.
OUR DEBT. TO BUMBLEBEES.
the Part These Busy Workers Play In tha
Fertilisation of Flowers.
Barney Hoskin Standish writes an
article on “The Bumblebee” for St
Nicholas Mr. Standish says: The work
of the bumblebee in bringing about the
txosfl fertilization of flowers is as im
-1 portant as that of the honeybee, and
these two stand at the head of the list
1 of insects useful in this respect. Each
has its flowers which it alone visits,
but there are many flowers on neutral
ground visited by both. So we may
■ay of the bumblebee, as of the honey
bee, the more bumblebees the more
seeds; the more seeds the more flowers
—especially wild flowers, as the tall
bellflower, touch me not, Solomon’s seal,
gentian, Dutchmen’s breeches and tur
tle head. But probably the most impor
tant work this insect does for agricul
ture is upon the fields of red clover.
There is abundant proof that this plant
willjnot produce seed without the co
- operation of the bumblebee. It is im
possible for the wind to bring about the
fertilization of the seed, as it may do
in the case of Indian corn, grain and
some forest trees. The tube of red clo
ver blossoms, too, is so long that other
Insects (including the honeybee) are
not regular visitants.
Here is proof that this plant must
have visits from the bumblebee. This
insect is not a nativoof Australia, and
red clover failed to produce seed there
until bumblebees were imported. As
soon as they became numerous the plant
could be depended upon for seed.
Again, the blossoms of tho first crop of
the Mediunj Red clover of our own
country are just as perfect as those of
the second crop, but there are too few
bumblebees in the field, so early in the
season, to produce fertilization, hence
little or no seed in this crop. If bumble
bees were sufficiently numerous, there
is no reason why much larger yields of
clover seed might not be expected than
at present.
Here is what a well informed farmer
says about it:
“It was formerly thought that the
world rested shoulders of Atlas.
I can prove that its prosperity rests on
the bumblebee. The world cannot pros
per without the farmers’ product. The
farm will not be productive without
clover. We cannot raise clover without
seed, and we cannot have clover seed
without the bumblebee, because it is
this insect that carries the pollen from
flower to flower, securing its develop
ment and continuance. Let us learn to
know and to protect our friends. ”
TWO WAYS OF LOOKING.
If All Saw Things Alike, This Wonld Be
an Uninteresting World.
“It is a pity that more of us cannot
cultivate the twofold way of looking at
things,” writes Edward W. Bok in The
Ladies’ Home Journal. “There would
be less friction in life if we did, and
sweeter sympathy, kinder understand
ing and broader and fuller living. The
fact is that we never reach the dignity
of true living unless we do learn this
all important lesson. And that it may
be cultivated admits of no doubt. It is
simply a question of schooling ourselves
not to condemn generally what indi
vidually does not happen to be to our
taste. If, for example, we prefer brown
as a color, there is no reason on earth
why we should condemn the taste of
any one who preferred to wear green.
What the vast majority of us need is to
be a little more self poised, more judi
cial, more willing to see good in the
tastes of others, although they do not
please our own particular fancies. It we
ail thought alike, read the same books,
saw the same plays, wore the same col
ors, this would be an exceedingly unin
teresting world.
“We cannot see all things in the
same way, but we can come near to
justice and true respect by taking a two
fold view of things while still retaining
our strong individual views. Seeing a
possible good erase for everything does
not necessairly mean a weak individu
ality. The most uncomfortable people
in the world are those who assert their
judgments in a hard, decisive and final
manner, as if they were courts of last
resort. On the other hand, the bright
est and best minds are those that have
most respect for the opinions of others?”
Remenyi and Pumpernickel.
“My first meeting with Remenyi,”
says H. J. Cleveland, “was over a liv
ery stable in Council Bluffs. A concert
hall was there and he was to play. A
jackass in a stall beneath persistently
brayed. Remenyi would not play. I was
on my way to Japan, or thought I was,
and introduced mysqlf to him after his
audience had been dismissed. He beg
ged of me to find some pumpernickel
for him. I searched Pearl street resorts
until I found some and took it to his
room. He ate with satisfaction and then
played for me, played until, boy as I
was, I cried. That was at 2 o’clock in
the morning, and in a large hotel filled
with people. We had the halls filled
with people in their nightrobes before
that private concert ended. His love for
pumpernickel was no more strange than
that of Janauschek for stale beer, and I
have got many a pint of that for her
after a most thrilling depiction of Mary,
queen of Scots.” —Chicago Times-Her
ald.

“That’s my intended, the policeman,

“I’m waitin till his appetite goes

A MODEL WIFE.
She Dona Black lu Memory of Her Un
mourned Predecessor.
He had asked her to be “his’n, ” and
she had made up her mind that she had
"worked out” long enough anyway. So
■he accepted him. She was perfectly
satisfied with her place, but she wanted
to have a bouse of her own. So they
were married.
It wasn’t long afterward that she
came back to see her former mistress
about something, and the latter noticed
that she was wearing mourning. Os
course she waa sorry'for .her and was
rather surprised that sno made no men
tion of her bereavement. It is, indeed,
a grievous thing when a honeymoo* if
cut short. • '
Finally the former mistress brought
up the subject herself.
“You are in mourning, Maggie,” she
suggested.
“Yes,” replied Maggie complacent
ly, and with no show of feeling at afl.
“1 fought it was the least I oould do
fer ’im. ”
“It is showing no more than proper
respect of course. lam very sorry. It
mnst have been a great shook.”
“Great shock!” exclaimed Maggie in
surprise. Then as she grasped the idea
ahe went on, “Ob, he ain’t dead,” with
tire accent on “he.”
“You haven’t lost your husband?”
Maggie shook her head.
“Then why are you in such deep
mourning?”
“Just to-please the poor lad, ” an
swered Maggie. “You soe, it’s this
way,” she went on when she.had de
cided to tell the story. “After we was
married he comes to me. an he says,
‘Maggie,* he says, ‘the poor woman
er had anybody to put on mourn in fer
her, ah I dnnno that she’s been treated
right, ’he says. ‘Who?’ray a L ‘Me first
wife,’ says he. ‘She was all alone in
the world, exceptin fer me,’ be says.
‘She had no wimmen folks to vyear
mournin fer her. * And so I says to him,
TH do it fer the poor woman,’ I says.
An here I am.”
And the best of it is that the story is
absolutely true.—Chicago Post.
DREW PAY, BUT DID NO WORK
And When Discharged Wanted a Certifi
cate For Ability and Honesty.
“Fancy a fellow picking your pocket
and asking for a‘character,* ” said A
business man the other day. “That’s
been my experience. I hired a young
man about a month ago to solicit orders
for me on commission, with |2O a week
guarantee. As he turned hothidg in
after a fortnight I began to sußpeqp-that
he-was vraKing for in<teher>firm sjad
doing nothing to earn the >2O, go I told
him tbat if nb materialized 'by
the end of the week he must not expect
to eontlnne in my employ.
“I made inquiries which convinced
me* that he was doing what I suspected,
bntlget no legal proof that he was tak
ing my money on false pretenses. So
when the week was up I was forced to
pay him a third |2O, making |6O in all,
which, I felt Sure, he had or
nothing to earn. Before doing so I told
him of my suspicions, which was fool
ish, as I met only with denials which I
couldn’t disprove, although in answer
to the questions of the cross .examina
tion I put him through he made state
ments which I knew to be lies.
“In spite of my accusations he seem*,
ed to think that my paying him the
final |2O waa acknowledgment that I be
lieved his denials, and after receiving
the money he asked if "I would give a
certificate as to bis ability and honesty
in case he found it necessary to call up
on me for one. I answered that I would
at least sign nothing against him, for
after paying him to no purpose money
I could ill afford I didn’t want to make
an enemy of him. but advised him not
to put me to the test.”—New York Sun.
GREEN BADGES OF COURAGE.
Sashes Worn by Army Surgeon* and Their
History.
A great many people do not know
why army surgeons wear green sashes.
It is not so much an insignia <tf rank as
it is a protection to the wearer. Accord
ing to the code of war, surgeons are
never shot or taken prisoners. To delib
erately shoot a surgeon while he is
wearing his sash is considered a viola
tion of the code, punishable by death.
Because of this provision surgeons of
one army never refuse to look after the
wounded of the other army if it is possi
ble for them to do so. During the civil
war it was often the case that after a
battle the field hospitals wonld contain
almost an equal number of men dressed
in blue and gray. The Federal army
had the best surgeons and the best
stores, and a wounded Confederate con
sidered himself in great luck if he was
removed to a Federal hospital to be
cared for by Federal surgeons and phy
sicians.
But in the heat of battle a green sash
is not much protection, and surgeons
were often wounded or killed. But this
did not keep the surgeons at the rear
until the battle was over. They were
often found in the thick of the fray,
dressing wounds and sending the wound
ed to the rear. Theirs was a perilous ai
well as a noble dnty, and they perform
ed it well.—Omaha World-Herald.
A Popular Choice.
Lady Castlerosse heads the.list of the
newly elected poor law guardians of
Killarney. She was nominated by her
father-in-law, the Earl of Kenmare.
Her election, it is said, has aroused ths
greatest interest among Ireland’s poor,
Who hope that if members of the aris
tocraoy take up such duties larger me; r
urea few the relief of distress will fol

If you would be well spoken of, learn
to speak weß of others, and when you
have learned to speak well endeavor

WEALTH OF STAGE FOLK.
Modjeska Said to Hara done West to Have
the San Melt Her Money.
When May Irwin recently paid f8S,«00
in cash for some real estate, people were
surprised, for the general Impression is
that actors never make any money or save
any. Proctor’s two fine theaters in Al
bany are monuments to enterprise, for ho
started out as an equilibrist.
William A. Brady, the well known
manager and part owner of a New York
theater, started as a super In San Francis
co. His wealth Is supposed to run up into
the hundred thousands.
William Gillette makes no secret of his
wealth. He made over >50,000 last year.
Melba can drew her eheck for >900,000
and still would have enough left In band
not to miss it
Lillian Bussell, who started her career
as a singing soubretto nt Paster’s theater,
rang her way Into a >75,000 house In New
York.
Perhaps the greatest fort unp ever made
by actor or actress is invented in the estates
of Adelina Patti. She is worth today over
99,000,000, and in the zenith of her career
she was rated nt many, millions more.
Every cent of it warinadc behind the foot
lights.
Sarah Bernhardt baa got so much
money she never slops to coffnt It She
used to pay Sardou more than <50,000 a
year in royalties.
Llly'Lttagtry oould lose >500,000 and
still she would be independently ricb.
Her English racing stables diene are wotah
double that amount, and she is also the
possessor of valuable ground along the
Thames.
Modjeska is living on a farm in Cali
fornia. Sho is the richest farmer in the
state. Her neighbors say sho went to Cali
fornia to allow the hot western sun to
melt her money.
Jean de Beszke could lose >900,000 and
enjoy a peaceful nap an hour later. His
lands in Russia alone are worth twice
that much. The most prosperous evening
in tho great tenor’s career was in this
country. He sang for 20 minutes at a
Boston concert, and when the proceeds
were counted up his share figured up just
>IOO a minute.
Joseph Jefferson earned more than
<IOO,OOO in old “Bip Van Winkle” alone.
His grounds adjoining former President
Cleveland’s In Massachusetts are worth
twice that amount, and ho owns other
valuable properties throughout the United
States. Jefferson Is jjrobably the richest
actor on the American stage today. Ev

enough to sustain an average person for
more than a year.—Chicago News.
Troubles of Her Own.
She was a thin old lady and climbed in
to tho car at Kingston with many hesitat
ing turns of the head, and when her big
black valise and other bundles had been
piled upon the seat in front of her she
pushed back her red striped shawl and
looked out of the window with an,air of
contentment. The train had not proceed
ed many miles, however, before she Begljn
to fumble among her bundles in a nervous
sort of way and suddenly she broke out in
a most pitiful wail:
“I knowed it! Laws a massa, whut
Will I dq?”
The passengers all looked sympathizlng
ly toward her. The kindly old man across
the aisle went over to her and said:
“My good woman, what is the trouble?
Can’t we do anything for you?”
“Oh, man, I can’t bear it! Let me off!
Stop the train! Stop it quick!”
1 The old man gave the bellcord a vigor
ous pull and the train came to an abrupt
-halt.
“What’s the matter hero?” asked the
conductor sharply, aS ho came in from the
forward car.
“Why,” sobbed the old lady, “I plum
forgot thet peck o’ turnips I had sacked
up to take to my son John Henry in At
lanta.”'—Atlanta Journal.
Monte Carlo and Orris Root
“Dear, wicked, gay Monte Carlo-is the
place to get essence of orris root, ” said the,
woman just back from Europe. “It’s the
saving grace of that beautiful, disreputa
ble little principality, and when a demure
woman, who would faint at the idea of
putting a louis on tho black or rod, is
found at Monte Carlo she tells you oalxq
ly that-she has oomo for a supply of orris
violet—and is believed. Sniff this hand
kerchief. Isn’t thit delightful? Well, it
only has one drop of tho essence on it.
One drop on the lace of one’s frock will
make the whole costume smell like a vio
let. If ono have scruples— but what wom
an ever bad scruples where a perfume is
concerned—one can buy Gritsse violet at
Nice, and so not even have the name of
the gamblers’ paradise on the bottle. But
the violet which outvioleta every other
violet in sweetness and clinging powers is
the little bine flower of Ajcardl, found in
San Remo. Its soent, a triple extract, is
sold in a little oellar shop where the walls
are lined with bottles and the air is as
fragrant as spring woods. It costs about
2 francs an ounce.”—New York Mall and

The Milk the Cow Gave.
An American consul in the far east had
a dishonest oook and steward. One day
the milk pitcher was brought upon the
table filled with the bluest and thinnest
milk conceivable. This was too much for
the official. He sent for both of his serv
ants and wanted an explanation; They
poured tho milk out, lookedat it critically,
smelled it With an exprearioa of deep con
cern, tasted it and then assured him it
was perfectly good. He said be Was aware
that it was good, but be wanted milk like
ho had had before. The cook looked op
with a happy smile and said, “That was
yellow milk.”
“Yes,” answered the official, “it waa."
“AU right,” remarked the oook in re
turn, “that yellow milk all the same come
from yellow cow. Farmer have seU that
same yellow cow, and this milk oome aU
the same from black and white oow.”—

Japanese Children.
“A joyous heart is always pure," say
the Japanese, and they encourage .and
take part in the amusements pfitiieir lirtle
ones with a seat that shows their belief.
The Japanese are naturally a gentle asd
childlike race, fond while brave
and chivalrous in action and earnest in
study. The boys and girls while at play
romp, laugh, and shout and have a “royal
good tkne,” but travelers say they do not
see among them quarrels'or angry words
and gestures. Score this to the eredit of
our dark eyed little cousins in the land ot
the “sun’s source."
They have the advantage of being loose
ly and warmly dressed and of being out
a great deal in the open air. In their
homes there is bnt little furniture to tnm
ble over, and there are few useless orna
ments which they are told “not to touch."
