hooked the pork" verdict matched by O
Carlisle jury, when they found a watch stealer
guilty, but recommended hum to mercy, be-
cause IL was really hard to say whether he had
taken the watch or not. An Irish jury recon-
mended a man TO mercy on the grounds that ne
had recollection OF the transaction; bot Of all

a;convicted person was recommended 70 mercy,
replied because il Is an aggravated case,

an aggravated case that a Swiss jury fOlnd ex-
teIuatipg circumstances in a couple of ruff ans
numbering q POOR shoemaker who objected TO
their stealing the boots off his feet. A Welsh
jury were not content with performing their
own functions, but usurped the Judges prerog-
alive. Having TO decide as to the guilt or inno-
cence of a man charged with uttering forged
note, the sapient men of Cardigan said I'VE
fLd the prisoner guilty of telling stories about
the note, and think he ought to pay back the
money, and have three months for it" death

case were locked up for the night, 1t was dis

unteered his assistance, just TO have the pleas
ure of dining with the real iurymen. At an
other trial. Just as the case was drawing to its
end, some body called attention to the fact that
one OF the jurors had vanished; he was found
sitting unconcernedly in the body of the court,
having walked out of the iury-bO without any
of the responsibility attached to the part for

The PersImmOn.

We have received from a Washington CORES
pondent very interesting communication
about the persimmOn, which was brought to
the notice OF our readers so prominently in our
last. Our pages at present are so largely occu-
pied by other more pressing matters, and par
ticularly in the horticultural department that
We are compelled to omit the article until our
next issue, when it will be published. We will,
however, give the following portion of it, which
may be made available at the present time, to
those who have the fruit already on their
farms:-
The perslmmon is q fruit, which, when ripe.
can be dried by spreading out on a board in the
shade, and when dried put away for use, being
careful not to let them get too close and mildew.
IL can also be dried and put away like raisins;
in fact, some varieties dry themselves on the
tree, when they can be put up in boxes, and
separated from the seeds. spread upon earthen
dishes, and dried like peach leather. A syrup
can be made from the fruit, equal in flavor to
good m0lasses. The fruit is also used in m king
a very fine beer, superior to that called lager,
and many other drinks sold under the name of
beer. When distilled, il will also yield an enor-
nous product of spirits. AS the season is now at
hand for manufacturing up this fruit, we will
herewith furnish the original recipe for beer, as
published in the first volume of the American
Farmer for the year 1919, April 10th, page 22:-
for very pleasant beverage, is published ger
batim, as 1t was furnished us by o particular
friend. Mr.. Jefferson's receipt
Gather the persimnons perfectly ripe and
free from any roughness, work them into large
loaves, with bran enough to make them consis-
tent, bake them so Thoroughly that the cake NAV
be brown and dry throu ghout, but not burnt;
they are then at for use; but If you keep them
any time, 1t will be necessary to dry them fire.
quently In an oven moderately warm. OF these
lOayes broken into coarse powder, take eight
bushels, pour over them 10 gallons of cold water
and after two or three DAYS, draw 1t of; boil 1t
as other beer, hop 1t; this makes Q very strong
beer. By putting 50 gallons Of water in the
same powder, and letting II stand two or three
days longer, you may have q very dne small
beer."-AmeTicoR Farmer.

Tools fer the Farm

A correspondent of the Farmers Union
writes:-There is no better way for farmer to
invest few dollars than by buying few tools
for the farm. Much time and expense can be
saved by repairing broken farming tools your.
self, instead of carrying them to a carpenter
and paying high price for a job, which per-
YOURSELF, and at a cost of less than one ausrter
the price paid for the work. There are many
days of leisure in the early part of the winter
that you can devote to the Over-hauling and re-
the spring, and have them in prime order when
the hurry of spring work begins. Surprising
you have broken rake handle; instead OF
throwing 1t away, lay the head by, or If you
have an old handle, put that into the good head
and you have whole rake that will last you o.
long rs q new enc costing thirty cents. II you
break pitchfork handle, don't buy . whole
new fork the next time you 20 to town, but buy
handle and put the old tine into It., and you
have rs good fork a. can be bought and for
less than half the cost of new one.

DRESS III CHURcH.-Nowhere, We are
ashamed to say, is the bad taste OF ostentation
in dress more conspicuous than here. II seems
as IT. with many, the Sabbath were the grand
occasion for display, and the church the place
for self exhibition In no other country have
churches as in some Of our own cities. I'm
Europe-not only, but on the continent-such
display Is rigidly forbidden, not by Law. but by
the recognized canons OF good taste. Nothing
Is considered more v1lgar-a more certain mark
OF low breeding than this kind Of osteutation
in place OF worship. II Is only the "new
rieh"-what we should call the "shoddy" PEG.

Of God. But - that class is larger in this coun-
Try than anywhere else, We have more Of thase
