OCTOBER ON THE FARM The cold
weather came on early this year. but that
is no sion that we shall not have our New
England Indian summer. We can count
with considerable certainty on that to-
wards the end of this month though it
sometimes comes in the early part ofncNt.
Still, the advent of severe fro>ts ten day

tree, admOi>h Us to hurry up the hlrvcst-

Legends and SnperStitiOnS.

Traditions. legends, and superstitiOns,
closely linked rs they often are, remain
very distinct in themselves and in their in
iluencr. \ tradition may be true; a lc-
gend is not only untrue, but improbable
and Il superstition is u foolish belief in the
supernatural and impossible. The first
two are apt to be full of interest and charm
the last is always a blight wherever it may
settle.
The world abounds in wild and marvel
on, stories that are believed in by the I'M
educated. For instance, in almost every
country there are legends about long sleep

All" begged each silly, pouting leaf,
LET us little longer stay;
Dear Father Tree behold our grief,

We do not want to go away"

To the great Tree the leaflets chung,
FlOlicked and danced and had their way,
Upon the autumn breeZes swung.
Whispering all their sports among
Perhaps the great Tree will forget,
And let Us stay until the spring,
If we all beg and coax and fret
But The great tree did no such thing:
He smiled to hear the whispering.
- Come, children, all to bed he cried;
And ere the leaves could urge their prayer
He shook hI- head and far and W idc,
fluttcgiug and lu>tling everywhere
Down -pei the leaflets through the air.

Golden and red, 4 huddled swarm,

BAD FLOUR \ CAUSE OF DISEASE
Pctor>burgh. Mich, has for some time
past been afflicted by an epidemic of ccrc-
bro->pinal meningitis, and IN investigation
INTO the cause has been made, from which
it appears that the prevalence of the dis
ease l. due to the presence of some poison
in the food of the people. In connection
with this matter. it is stated that expert
mcnts conducted many years ago showed
that grain affected with smut was capable
Of producing violent illness, crgot of wheat
proving even more active than crrot of
rye. The crop of wheat raised in the vicin-
ity Of Pcter,burgh last year contained
much more smut than usual, and it is pos
>iblt that bad flour has been the cause Of
the prevalent sickness.
