AUTUMN

Now gently falls the fading light.
The autumn's sunset vel,
While duskv grows the wavering night
OF whippoorwil and quail
The grain is bound the nuts are brown
on every wooded hill;
The light is sOftened on the down,
And sllvercd on the rin
The partridge drums. the plovers call
Salutcs the sportsmanS ear
And lust above the waterfall
The fisher sets his weir.
The redeemed leaves. with Wlthered wings,
Sweep lightly 10 the sod.
The autumn walks the land and sings.
With rustling sandals shod.

Diet as O Test of Civilization

The evolution of mankind may perhaps
be determined as certainly by the criterion
of food as by any other. The savage eats
the same coarse and monotonous fare for
centuries, while civilized man Is perpetu-
ally discovering and adopting new animal
or vegetable products. At every fruit shop
one Is reminded today of the fact that
bananas and tomatoes are new foods which
We have very wisely adopted, and which
have become as familiar and necessary to
for centuries. AS with fruits so with the
articles we see IN large grocery store.
Half of these were almost unknown even
a generation ago. The dinner of today Is as
different from that of the time, say, of DR..
johnson as that was from the cuisine of
the Conquest. If life was rude and vio-
lent in early communities, the kind of food
eaten and the way of eating 1t made it
oven more So How could one gorge On
oxen roasted whole, carving it up with
rude weapons, or even, like Falstaff, on
fat capons and an intolerable deal of sack,
without being heavy, earthly, and probably,
from our point Of view, noisy and ill-bred?
The fine manners Of the Elizabethian court
are problematical; they certainly would
not pass muster now. In short food is both
an index of the civilization attained and a
factor in the attainment A singular in
stance of both is afforded by the rapid
growth of manners in Russia Less than
two centuries ago Peter the Great gnawed
meat like wild beast and drank brandy
like savage; today the elegant method of
dining la Russo has spread over the civ
ilized world-London Spectator.

horseplay. Unoffending victims resent the
treatment and retaliate. Their prosecutors
warm to the fray. Bullying is carried on
with renewed energy. and a general melee
usually ensues. Scenes of this description
form part of the daily program, particu-
larry in suburban pleasure resorts. In
these places, where merrymaking Is the
order of the day, the proceedings appear
to include a fight at the finish as matter
of course. The exhilaration of the ball
room seems particularly conducive to
pugnaciousness. Dancing, with the ac-
companying pleasures of Irritation and re-
freshments, has, for example, resulted in
q serious ARRAY in public ballroom on
the picturesque riverside Of the Marine.
The dance music was capital, the tunes
were lively, and the couples were waltzing
to their hearts content, when a party Of

localities. The inhabitants Of two contig-
uous and equally unsafe neighborhoods-
La Glaciere and Gentily-have a long
standing feud. They fight pitched battles
among themselves on ordinary occasions.
When q third foe turns up, however, in the
shape Of any official whose duty it is to sec
that the public peace is not disturbed, they
bury the Ratchet for time and band to-
gcther to set upon the common enemy. One
unfortunate gendarme has thus lately been
assaulted in this manner. A police official
found him In the clutches of some twenty
rufiians. Other gendarmes were summoned
to the rescue and succored their unlucky
comrade none too soon. His aggressors
were provided with knuckle-dusters, re-
volvers and knives, all of which they knew
how to use with effect. Seven of the men
have been arrested. They have been found
