When Leaves Fall.

The call to the country is never so
strong as in autumn. Custom and
commerce and society have conspired
TO call men back to the city just when
the heat has passed, and the mellow
ing air and the coloring world is most
alluring in the country. When the
haze hangs over the hills, and leaves
are green and gold and scarlet, and
soft sunlight of Indian summer fills
the world, then the west wind stirs in
man the half extinct memory OF his
hunting ancestors and he longs to
strike the trail for the unknown woods.
Then 1t is his primal instincts prompt
him to build wood fires and sleep un-
der the starlit skies. But, alas! stern
necessity or feverish night of winter
gaiety call most men back to the nerv-
Gus grind of the world as it is. But
only IL we could strike the long trail
and answer the call of Indian summer,
what wonderful high adventure, what
keen delight, and restful health we
might find over the rim yonder-from
whence the west wind comes.-Har

Il is from these abrupt spontaneous
appearance Of strange characters
that some OF our most valuable va
rieties Of plans and animals have
come Perhaps one Of the most ia
miiiar sports In animal world Ia the
White Plymouth Rock chicken. This
sariety Is a pure sport derived from
the Barred variety and the pure white
chicks occurred in two or three places
In this country al about the same
time. Fortunately they transmitted
their white color 20 their offspring and
thus was created a new breed, pure
white In color. and true Plymouth
Rocks in every other characteristic.
Another interesting and valuable
sport Is the Polled Durham breed Of
cattle, a hornless breed descended
from the true sports Of the Shorthorns,
The first true polled Shorthorns we're
born Of horned parents, but their of
spring we're usually hornless.
| In the vegetable kingdom. one Of
| the latest sports is the Dwarf Tomato
which We told you about In a recent
article. It came spontaneously from
tall stock, had full sized fruit in
smaller numbers. and the stalk was
stir enough to support the fruit. II
Immediately became populor and bids
fair to supplant its parent variety for
field use, because it produces more
and better fruit to the acre.

Not all lands, however, are blessed
with this benefcent tolerance toward
the poet, as recent trial in Cairo
made evident. A young native OF the
country, Abdul Hahn FL Masri, was
sentenced to serve three months in
