UNCLE JED's TALK TO WIDE a-=- sl AWAkEs..

The garden is the place for thoughz as well as for work and the place for the pansy which the French people made a symbol of thought by calling it pense. which means thought.
 It was a happy thought which gave the pansy to the flower garden, for it is the best expression little Johnny Jump-up. the little spotted violet ever gave to the world. ...--
 You see c. Wide-Awalce gardener 150 years ago noticed that some of the Jchny Jump-ups kept swelling up and looking different and larger than the others so he selected those and grew them apart. and from this start all of the t.2oe or 1-5eoe ferent form ed and marked pansies have grown.
 And this gardeners happy thought which the pansy represents opened a ner~s age for plant growers, for 1t. re- veaied the fact that flowers could be something different if human thought and heads would just help them. = ,.
 Flower growers in this age are a1- ways watching flowers to see if they show signs of transmitting or work fng to take on a new form or color; snd by selecting the flowers which how these signs larger and often ,rettier flowers are grown. -5--- ,zE'
 The pansy did not do this alone, neither can any other plant without he aid of the little insect wizards the lower has attracted to its service by ups of nectar. The flowers treat

Henry Hudson.

Dear Uncle Jed: We have been talk ing the Norwich Bulletin for two years. Every Thursday I look for the Wide-AWate Circle. I read some of the interesting stories in it. This is my first story to the Wide Awake and I am hoping to be successful. Henry Hudson set out in the Half Moon with a crew of twenty men, Dutch and English. from Amsterdam, March 25, 1909. in the hope of discov- ering northeast passage to the Dutch East Indies. Having to dispute for more than a night with continual fogs and ice he left the place and tried to discover a passage by the southwest He reached Norway and from there sailed for the F'erol Islands. He reached the coast of America about July 12 and continued steering west ward. On August 20 he discovered Delaware Bay.
 From this anchorage he coasted northWard and finally reached Sandy Hook bay. On Sept. II Hudson sailed through the Narrows and anchored in New York bay.
 The next day. Sept. 12, 1909, he en- tered his memorable voyage up the majestic stream which now bears his name. It is supposed that the highest place which he must have reached in the river was the neighborhood of the present site of Albany.

The Cat and the Orioles

There was a cat living in the coun- try. He was very fond of birds. He did not belong to me, but he used to follow me just the same.
 One day as I went to the potato gar den. he followed me. There was an oriOle who was very unhappy for fear of the cat
 The oriole chirped and hopped from limb to limb on a cherry, tree. called the cat fo me, but he did not come so went along leaving the cat behind. I soon saw that the OriOle must have young birds among the trees. At least the cat went away leaving happiness for the bird.
 l went to see the oriole the next day and found him on a limb covered with cherries. I looked at the oriole very plainly and found out what she was on the limb for. She was busy gather ing cherries for her young. After that the cat did not go there any more.

Coffee i

Coffee
 Coffee is the seed of\an evergreen tree which is found in many parts of the tropics. under cultivation it is pruped down to a height of ten feet or less. It has leaves somewhat re. sembling those of the laurel, and bears small white blossoms and berries of about the size of cranberry and of .he same color and shape.
 Inside each berry are one or two seeds beans which form the coffee of commerce. The seeds are usually half globes. fitted together with the flat sides facing each other and sur rounded by a sweet. f1eshy pulp. The berries grow close to the stalk all over the tree. They are picked off when ripe, and the seeds, properly dried and cleaned, are shipped all over the world.
 The coffee tree is supposed to have originated in Abysinnia and to have received it's name from the province cr Kaffa. where it still grows wild. It was first carried over to Arabia and planted there in the districts fnom where the purest- of the famed Mocha coffee comes.
 Toward thes end of the seventeenth century it was taken to Java and then to other tropical countries all over the world.
