The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-08-04

In New Zealand, for instance, where
there are no b~umblebees, it is neces-
sary to SOW a fresh crop of clover
every year, with seed imported from
England.
Flowers being thus dependent on
certain insects, they naturally make
every effort to insure the visitation
of those species which are necessary
to their existence. The insects them
selves are not generous in the least,
and they certainly would not carry
pollen for nothing if they could help
it. So each flower makes a bid for
their services, usually offering honey
in payment; and for fear they might
not know just where to come for the
honey, bright petals OF sepals are
flung out like banners to attract their
attention. Often the@blossoms ex-
hale an attractive perfume rs an adj
ditionaI guide to the hungry messen-
gers. Attracted by these signs, the
insects crawl in to feed, and the
flowers are so cunningly arranged
that it is impossible to get at the
honey without becoming busted with
the pollen. At the next place the in
sect stops for lunch he shakes off
some of this dust upon the stigma of
the flower, and the desired result is
accomplished August Woman's
Home Companion.

Insects and Flowers.

The fact is that most of the beau
tiful flowers which attract our at
tention during the summer could not
get along at all without, their friends
the insects, and no doubt the insects
would fare very badly without the
flowers.
However, it is the flowers in which
we are most interested just now. In
order that the seeds of one of these
flowers may set, or as the botanists
say, become fertile" it is necessary
that its stigma be busted with some
of the yellow or brown dust called
pollen, usually from the anthers of
some other flower. This pollen must
be carried to it in some way, other
wise the seeds will never ripen. In
some cases the wind plays the part
of messenger, and blows the pollen
from flower to another, but most
of the attractive flowers we see are
so made that insects alone can deliv-
er the dust to them in the proper
manner. Some flowers are so formed
that only particular kind of in
sect can accomplish their fertiliza-
ton. For example, the purple clover
could not exist without the humble
bee, and where there are no humble
bees no purple-clover seed is ripened.

The King Was Extinguished.

Sultan Abdul Hamid, always
afraid of his own life, never forgets
to impress upon the minds of his
subjects that s~overeigns are immor-
tai, in SO far that their lives can
never be taken by an assassin.
There is an old Turkish supersti-
ton to this effect, and Abdul wants
his faithful followers to clearly un-
derstand that it would be absolutely
useless to try to murder him.
When, therefore, King Alexander,
of Servia, was murdered, the Sui
tan's orders went out to all the pa
pers in Turkey that, ch~ronicling this
event, they must use this expression:
"The King of Servia was extinguish-
ed last night while Queen Draga
succumbed to a revolution of blood"
It is to be hoped that all vicious
Turks with sultanicidal intention
will understand that their master is
immune from swords and bullets

MIR. Bryan's First Bow.

William J. Bryan went to Lincoln,
Nebraska, to practice law with no
assets but a thoroughly legal educa-
ton, a large native ability and a tai
ent for public speaking.
He made a speech or two in Lin
coin, and was then pressed into ser
vice by the local Democratic com
mitteee for work in a State cam
paign. He was told to go to a village
about twenty miles from Lincoln one
night and address the pOpulace on
the issues of the day.
Mr.. Bryan drove Ver. 1t was a
long, cold ride. When he arrived at
the village he was escorted to the
district school building where the
meeting was to be held. He found
that a pompous Irish citizen was to
preside.
The young lawyer thought it was
no more than fair that he should
get an advertisement out OF the
meeting inasmuch as he was to pay
his own expenses. He asked the
chairman to say, in announcing h!m'
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. William
j.. Bryan, the rising young attorney
from Lincoln, will now address you"
The chairman did not grasp the
idea. Mr.. Bryan took him out be-
hind the schooI-house and coached
him. After ten minutes work the
chairman seemed letter perfect:
The meeting began. The local
orators had their say. Then 1t was
time for Mr.. Bryan. The chairman ma
looked at him. Bryan nodded. Inc

effort he roared: "Ladies and gentif7

Is the College Boy EducatedP

In his baccalaureate sermon to the
graduating classes of Columbia Uni
versity, the Rev. DR.. George A. Cor
don, of Boston, talked of "the edu-
Gated youth, with his gifts, his in
tellectual habits, his culture, his u
periority over thousands" How
many such youths do the colleges
produce? Mighty few. Take a COM
posite photograph of the American
undergraduate, and the result is no
budding Emerson, no ~ascetic burner
of the midnight oil, but a jolly, noisy,
rather queerly dressed, highly clan
nish young man or boy, whose great
est enthusiasm is for athletic sports.
He has wide Culture" in such vari-
Gus and difficult subjects as briar-
wood pipes, bull-terriers, amateur
photography, scarf-pins, sign-collect-
ing, and variety shows. His art-gal-
lery is a collection of pictures of
actresses, goddesses whom he wor-
ships ignorantly and from afar-un-
less he marries a chorus girl, and
scandalizes his doting parents. His
literature is the sporting page" and
the harmless, unnecessary contempt
rary novel. His science is boxing or
golf or tennis or lacrosse. His heroes
are not Homer, Dante, and Shake
speare, but those greatest men in
the world, the Captain of the Eleven,
the Captain of the Grew, the Captain
of the Nine. He is a perfectly good
fellow. He is a simple, manly fell
low, with a very apparent down on
his face of sophistication. But he is
not an educated youth" except in
so far as he knows that he isn't

THE HOME CIRCLE
Ode to Death.*

Hymn sung at the conservation of MagnO-
liza Cemetery, Charleston, S. C.l
Whose was the hand that painted
thee, o DEATH
In the false aspect of a ruthless
foe,
Despair and sorrow waiting on thy
breath
o gentle Power! who could have
wronged thee so?
Thou. rather should'st be crowned
with fadeless flowers,
Of lasting fragrance and celestial
hue;
Or be thy couch amid funeral bow
ers,
But let the stars and sunlight
sparkle through.
So, with these thoughts before us,
we have fixed
And beautified, o Deathi thy man
sion here,
Where gloom and gladness-grave
and garden-mixed,
Make it a place to love, and not to
fear.
Heaven! shed thy most propitious
dews aroundl
Ye holy stars! look down with ten
der eyes,
And gid and guard and ~consecrate
the ground
Where we may rest, and whence
we pray to rise.

A Forgotten North Carolina Hero.

A reunion is to be held at Fort
Fisher, on the 18th of August, of
the survivors of the Confederates
who were captured there on the 18th
of January, 1866.
This is eminently right and proper,
for the heroism of the garrison of
that famous fort should be perpet-
uated to the remotest generation.
The gallant survivors have just cause
to be proud of their heroic defense,
and will no doubt meet again on that
historic spot with mingled pride and
sadness.
The b~ombardment of Fort Fisher
was the heaviest since the invention
of gun powder. Many acts of
heroism in its defense have never re-
ceived the praise which they SO much
deserve. Indeed they are known to
very few persons. For instance,
scarcely any one has heard of the
heroism of Private Christopher @.
Bland, of Company X, Thirty-sixth
North Carolina Regiment. The flag
staff was unprovided with halyards
and when the order was given to
raise the battle flag young Bland
promptly volunteered to do so. He
seized the flag and began climbing
the staff under a heavy fire from the
enemy's fleet. Undismayed by the
shrieking of shells which fell around
he climbed the staff and fastened the
flag at the top. Just as he came
down a shell tore loose one end of
the Nag, and at once this young hero
again climbed the staff, while shells
fell around him almost as thick as
hail, and again fastened the flag in
its place. and strange to say he
escaped unwounded. History has
taught every schoolboy the heroism
of Sergeant Jasper at Fort Moultrie,
when its flag staff was shot down by
the British fleet, but not a schoolboy
has probably ever heard of this more
daring feat of Christopher G. Bland.

Courses of Reading for Summer Moods

Courses of reading must be taken
as suggestive rather than arbitrary,
so wide are the diversities of taste
and so far apart are the interests
and educational opportunities of a
great company of readers. These
short lists have been made in re-
Spouse to numerous requests, and
have no more ambitious aim than to
suggest orderly reading in two or
three directions suitable for vacation
moods and opportunities. Those
readers who would like to make or
renew their acquaintance with Eng
fish fiction at successive periods in
its representative works may find
pleasure and profit in the following
novels. An admirable preparation
for this course is Mr.. Perry's "Study
of Prose Fiction:
Goldsmith's "Vicar of Wakefield"
Mrs. Radclife's "The Mysteries of
Udolpho;" Miss Austen's "Sense and
Sensibility;" SCOTS "The Heart of
Midlothian" Miss Bronte's "Jane
Eyre" Thackeray's "Vanity Fair"
Dickens 'David Copperfeld y Troll
lope's Dorchester Towers; George
Eliot's "The Mill on the Floss; -
S~tevenson's kidnapped" and
"Prince Otto" Hardy's "The Wood
landers;" Barrie's "The Little Min
ister;" Mrs. Humphry Wards "Da-
vid Grieve."
A selection from American fiction
in chronological order might include:
Irving's "The Sketch Book"
Cooper's "The Last of the Mohe-
cans;" Hawthorne's "The Scarlet
letter." Poe's Tales; Mrs. Stoves
