CG-Relation,of Bees and Flowers


Cd-RelatiOnof Bees and Flowers
< The bees, Mr. Darwin says, have solv-
ed difficult problem. They have made
their cells of proper shape to hold the
greatest possible amount of honey with
the least possible consumption of prec-
ious wax in their construction. No hu-
man workman is skillful enough, to do
what a crowd of bees can do, working in
dark hive-make.oells of wax of sthe
true form- The ndm5erio of ITunlble Bees
in the country will depend upon the
number of cats, How can that be? Be
cause the number Of bees is dependent
upon the number of field mice, and the
fewer mice, the more bees. IF the whole
genus of humble bees became extinct, or
very rare, the hearts ease and red clover
would become rare erssYOtlla saisappea It's.
How is that? Because bees promo te'the
growth of those flowers. The visits Of
bees are necessary to the fertilization of
some kinds of clover, and almost indis-

POlfteness as an Investment.

THE grievous error we fall into is, in
looking for direct instead of indirect CON-
pensation. When we declare that polite
ness costs nothing, we really understate.
Not only does il cost nothing-it is
materially profitable in the long, scme-
times in the short run. Every one of us
goes where he is well treated, and stays
away from where he is ill treated. In a
great city competition in each branch of
trade is necessarily active, and the trades
man or merchant who is courteous on
principle must soon discover that his
principle and interest are identical. What
man ever forgets the place or person
where or by whom he was atfably received,
when there was no visible motive for such
reception? The poorest memory, the
least impossible nature, will retain SO
much as that.
Smith, who lives uptown, actually goes
far downtown to buy his smallest gar
ment, because, years ago, @ bit of in
formation was pleasantly given to him at
the shop he now regularly patronizes.
Jones does not object to walking half a
purchase cigars, for the reason that the
cigar-vender comprehends the art of
amiability.
Robinson will never have another hat
ter (though his friends criticise his hats,
from the fact that the halter once exchanged
a defective head covering without grumb-
ling, or even without trying to make
Robinson believe that he did not know
what he wanted.-Junius Henri Bro1one,

These tables show that the children
who have bank accounts have saved, on
an average, $3.50. The schools have
given them this, besides the ordinary edu-
cation and besides the extraordinary
education in the habit of saving. The
latter is the great need of the poor. They
are comparatively more extravagant than
the rich. Waste soon becomes second
nature unless checked early in life. The
tables given show that it is among the
poor children in the ordinary primary
schools that the system has worked best.
The infant pupils are too young and too
unable to learn anything to save much :;
the children of good social rank cannot
be very easily reached in this way; and
the adults are apt to have their habits of
extravaganza confirmed. The success of
the savings banks is said to have pro-
duced a very marked effect on the So
cial and moral life of the working
classes in Client" The experiment has
recently been tried elsewhere-in Ant
werp, in Burgess, in the rural districts.
Everywhere it works well. A number of
societies have been formed which give
prizes to Industrious scholars in the shape
of bank books containing credits for small
amounts of money. In Brussels society
has been organized under very distin-
guished auspices, which intends to intro
duce NJ. Laurents invention into every
school in Belgium. How would it do
to try the experiment here ?-Chtcago

Soaking Seeds.

When one sows wheat or corn, the
seeds terminate SO soon after sowing that
no previous preparation is required to ac-
CELEBRATE the process. But in those which
take a few weeks time much is gained
by soaking them.
All seeds require to absorb a certain
amount of moisture before they can grow :;
hence if soaked in cold water before sow
ing this much is gained, and the plants
are ready TO terminate at once on being
put into the ground. The harder the out
side shell of the seed the more useful is
the cold water soaking process. Very
hard seeds, like peach stones and cherry
stones, are often put in cold water by
nurserymen for week before sowing.
Many tree seeds require some time to
soak, and thus have to be put in the
ground in the fall of the year. If not
sOwn till the spring, after the ground
dries, it is no uncommon thing for the
seed to lie in the ground all the summer
and the next winter, and not grow before
the following spring. Apple seed and
pear seed often do this; hence they are
sown in the fall, or else soaked some
time in water before sowing. Even when
sown in fall, if dry when put in, it often
results that they do not grow. Generally
this is when frost Immediately follows the
sowing, in which case the seeds stay
frozen all spring, that is, "frozen in ,.
and thus they are unable to get that soak
ing moisture which they require. Sin
gularly enough it has been an idea with
some people that it is the frost which
helps seeds; and people, in getting this
class of seeds in the spring, often inquire
if they have been frozen. 1t is the water.
not the frost, which helps them. Frost is
rather an injury than a benefit to seeds
That is to say, the moisture without the
frost is much better than the frost and
moisture both.
These hints about the value of water to
seeds may be of service to many of our
readers. Many have endeavored to get
still further benefited by soaking seeds in
guano water, or water in which some fer
tiliZing substance has been dissolved. 1t
may be that there is value in this, though
we have never found it So The advan-
tage, wherever any has been seen, has
probably been owing to the mere soak
ing; and the effect would have been just
the same if pure water had been used.
