dies have been exhausted strike may
be declared with the national officers

is gathered. the wfnepres5 troi, the vim

to the ladies' connected with the wine
farm, and all the time there Is n perfect
festival Of song, simple and bright, and
full OF harmony.
In Tuscany, in France. in Germany, and
in Russia there are numbers OF harvesting
songs. all more or less full Of poetry. AID

we should like 10 think that our own
country is not far behind in this matter
Of harvest singing. although the gleanings
are not associated with the romance OF

not even given place to the broad hook

supper was always an occasion for the
singing Of good. old-fashioned songs. OF
which each man had his own repertoire

Watermelon Eloquence.

Qtichmond Christian Advocated
He who listens to the cry OF the
melon-venders. whose carts traverse the
streets Of Richmond in August, has les
son in the philosophy of sound and its
multiplied adaptations to various pur-
poses. In order TO attract attention, the
driver of tho melon-cart from Hanover
and Hen-rack-er must utter singular
cry. unlntellgible to most men, and GER
tainly to stranger. The less you know
what he is saying. the more you will
come out to see for yourself. Some OF
them utter a high-pitched note. like that
of cracked riccolo: some A prolonged
melancholy wall. like q funeral dlrge;
others deep cultural exclamation that
comes from the chest I'm weird moaning.
Doubtless there Is studied effort In IT all.
The drivers may be selected for qualiiica-
lions In this respect-for honesty. dill
gence. but above all. for vocal gifts,
power TO yell and cry, and lamentingly
bewaii the wants OF the citizens who
thirst and languish uncontrolled by the
sweet flesh Of canteloupes and water
millions" Long live the cry Of the melon
pedler! 1t Is one Of the varieties Of life.
