The government of the land of
the Brahmin is strictly in the hands
of the man of the father during the
youth of the family, and ofthe eldest
son when he maTles. The son al
ways takes his wife home to the pa
ternal roof, and as the sons marry
additions are built to the house un-
til it often becomes a village in it.

imprisoned-literally buried alive.
From the day of their marriage
which is at very early age, thev

than the narrow expanse of sky and
cloud that looks down upon them
between the walls of their prison
home. No men are allowed to en-
ter the house but the members Of
the family and the priest, except on
very rare occasions, and then un-
seen by the women.

PerSinnOnS

Whats them things, mister ~
asked man of a Fulton market
fruit dealer, pointing to a peculiar
looking fruit about two inches in
diameter, of a terra-cotta color, and
closely resembling an apple in shape
and having needle-like point at
one end and something like an acorn
cup at the other. There was a ma
lIcious twinkle in the dealers eve AS
he SAID
why, these are the celebrated
Tennessee persimmons. Haven I
you ever tasted them? Try
one"
1t was not mellow but it looked
tempting, and the mans teeth met
beyond a piece the size of a silver
dollar. The one piece satisfied him,
evidently, for all the sstringent
qualities of green persimmon be-
gan to take immediate effect upon
his tongue, teeth and lips. His
mouth was growing smaller by de
grees. he could not laugh with grace,
he could not be angry, he could not
articulate yet all the time he had
the modification of seeing the dealer
aud his neighbors well-nigh con-
vulsed with laughter. With a
smothered oath be went away.
These persimmons," said the
dealer. "came from farmer near
Nashville, Tennessee, who makes a
speciality of growing them. He
finds it profitable business, and
has brought the heretofore almost
worthless fruit to high state of
perfection. These specimens are
green, of course, and were sent to me
for comparison with the japanese
persimmon. | find them larger,
but cannot Judge of their flavor till
they ara ripe, which they are not
till bitten by the frost. Frost mel
lows them and removes all their
astringency, makes them as sweet as
sugar and of a most delicious
| flavor.
"The persinmon, indigenous to
the South, grows upon small trees
seldom exceeding fifty feet in height
aud in wild state the fruit is small
and unattractive, though extremely
sweet after frost. Children are fond
of the persimmon, but they are most
popular with the 'possum, who
walks forth nightly to regaie himself
and become the victim of the boys
and dogs who know Just where to
find him. A persimmon tree is a
'possum's Delmonico. Some people
have experimental with persim-
mons In various WAYS, and | have
known them to be dried and pressed,
in which condition they eat as well
the dates of Arabia. The farmer
from whom these came has realized
as much as ten dollars bushel for
his cultivated variety, and 1 u,.der-
stand he has DEVOTED goodiy
portion of his land to a persimmon
orchard with the intention of show
ing the American people just wha,
can be done with a product which
grows in every old field in the
Southern and Central States, and
has heretofore been looked upon as
little less than a nuisance.-N Y

Diamonds for Drills.

Diamonds are comparativel
cheap nowadays" rock drill man
ufacturer said, land the diamond
set bits used in the diamond drills
do not cost as much as they used
to.
Are genuine diamonds used in
these drills, or are they called dla-
mond drills because the steel has an
extremely hard temper ?" the repor-
ter asked.
Diamonds are used in the drills.
They are chiefly one and two carat
stones At present they cost about
$40 carat. They are in the rough.
The diamond-set bit is hollow 1t
is a steel thimble, having three rows
of diamonds embedded in it, so that
the edges of those in one row project
from its face, while the edges of those
in the other two rows project from
the outer and inner pheriphery re
spectively. The diamonds of the
first mentioned row cut the path OF
the drill in its forward progress,
while those on the outer and inner
pheripherv of the tool enlarge the
cavity.
How are the diamonds set in the
bit?"
The bit is of soft steel, in which
holes are drilled. After the diamonds
are fitted the metal is hammered
against them SO that they remain
firm"
"Do the diamonds wear
out?"
Their edges which come in con-
tact with the rock get a little smooth
and then they are taken out and re-
set, so that a fresh edge is pre-
sented."
Have all the hollow drills three
rows of diamonds ?"
No. Some have only one row,
but these are not very large. The
diamonds stand out from the steel
setting, so that the steel does not
come III contact with the rock.
How are the diamond drills
worked ?"
by a rapid rotation, varying
anywhere from 400 to 1000 revolu
tions minute There are different
machines used for different kinds of
drilling"
Where do you get the diamonds
for the bits?" the reporter in
quired.
"They come principally from Bra
I'll. Some come from Siberia and
some from the south of Africa the
latter, however, are more CLASSY and
not SO tough as the Brazilian dia-
monds, and are much more likely to
crush under presSure.-Neio York

brave fellow standing aloof with ap-

Boy Drowned.

UNIoNTowN, January 10.-This
afternoon about 4 o'clock Alfred
Wilhelm, aged 5 years, youngest son
of William Wilhelm, was drowned
in Redstone Creek. He and several
OF his little companions were playing
on the ice which gave way with him
and he was carried under by strong
current. The body was found about
seventy-five feet below the spot about
an hour afterward. Several hundred
people assisted in the search.

The MIseries of a Mean Man.

Sometimes | wonder what a mean
man thinks about when he goes to
bed. When he turns out the light
and lies down. When the darkness
closes in about him and he is alone,
and compelled to be honest with
himself. And not a bright thought,
and not a generous impulse, not a
manly act. not a word of blessing,
not a grateful look cometo bless him
again. Not penny dropped into
the outstretched palm of poverty,
nor the balm of loving word drop
ped into an aching heart no sun
beam of encouragement cast upon a
struggling life; the strong right hand
of fellowship reached out TO help
some fallen man to his feet-when
none of these things come to him as
the God bless you " of the depart.
ed day, how he must hate himself.
How he must try to roll away from
himself and sleep on the other side
of the bed. When the only victory
he can think of is some mean victo
ry, in which he has wronged a
neighber. No wonder he always
sneers when he tries to smile. How
pure and fair and good all the resi-
of the world must look TO him, and
how cherries and dusty and dreary
must his own path appear. Why
even one alone, isolated act Of mean
ness is enough to scatter cracker
crumbs in the bed of the average
ordinary man, and what must be
the feelings of 4 man whose whole
! life is given up to mean acts When
there is so rauch suffering and heart
aches and misery in the world, any
how, why should you add one pound
of wickedness or sadness to the gen
eral burden? Don't be mean, my
boy. Suffer injustice a thousand
times rather than commit it once
