THE  FALL. 
These  are  the  kind  of  mlldlsh  days 
That  cheer  an'  brace  an’  cool  a  fellow. 
The  woodland  leaves  begin  to  blare 
An'  all  outdoors  gets  kind  of  mellow. 
The  elm  tree’s  dozing  in  a  haze. 
The  afternoons  get  soft  and  stiller. 
An’  from  the  ash  tree  swings  and  sways 
A  soft  an’  pudgy  caterpillar.

A  new  principle  in  pruning  shears  is  evident  in  the  Levin ;  or,  rather,  a  new 
application  of  the  old  principle  that  a  sliding,  diagonal  cut  is  easier  than  a  straight 
direct-pressure  cut.  This  appears  to  be  the  best  thing  yet  offered  in  pruners,  and 
is  strongly  indorsed  by  horticulturists.  Although  the  patent  was  secured  only  in
