most highly favored persimmon we ever
ate had many seeds.
Like the persimmon OF the southern states
this is only fit TO eat when very ripe, and
the Japan persimmon is improved by very
light frost. though it will come to perfsc-
ton without this aid. When fully ripe it is
30 exceedingly soft that ie will not bear
transportation, but while yet bard iJ may
be packed and shipped as well as any fruit
and people who love them and wish to lay
IN a supply, should get them while they are
firm and store them In shallow boxes hold
ing only single tier of fruit, till they are
perfectly soft. Then it will be found that
the astringent taste that is so particularly
prominent when in an unripe condition has
changed into the most delicious flavor
They are not an acid fruit, but the flesh
IS OF that rich, sweet Consistence and taste
that people in warm cOun ries learn to love.
The taste for the fruit is a growing one, and
the more one eats the greater the desire.
An old friend who has some very fne ones
says that he is much more fond Of them
than Of oranges, and that they are very
beautiful, seeming to be Just the fruit that
is needed at this season Of the year. Those
who wish TO market them should
pick them while firm and get them
off. but for homeuse they can
be left on the tree and picked as needed, or
stored away. The ripening can be fastened
by placing small box of them in a warm
room, and by careful management the sea-
son can be prolonged two or three months.
We have seen it suggested that special
cup and spoon ought to be designed and
used in serving this delicious fruit, and a
neatly-shaped persimmon cup and spoon
may soon be announced among the accept
able presents Of the holidays.

began feeding it pretty freely
to my pony horse. About the third or
fourth day his bowels became very lax and
the cassava, acting as a vermifuge, relieved
him of thousands Of worms, some three
inches long. These were followed by con-
siderable quantities OF sand. After this the
horse began to "shed." his color changed his
belly, which had been terribly distended,
shrank to its nominal proportions and he
ceased to drink such enormous draugbts Of

OF fair caliber who believe the root has
medical qualities which caused this. | think
so myself, aid believe the virtue is in the
bark.
Where is the profit in this wonderful
plantl you ask. / answer In the tapioca
and lard. All these will ray handsomely,
in my opinion. Turn it into these articles
and put them on the market; give it to
everything that will eat # at home and no
one root on the face of the earth will pay
such a profit. ! am of the opinion tina, at
least one-third of the horse food might
consist of cassava roots the year round,
and our stock do better than the best We
could do for them otherwise.
To do this, be sure to always cut it off
and put it under straw and earth three or
four inches deep by the middle of November
everywhere in South Florida. Let the tops
be broken off pretty well down, pile the
heavy stalks evenly in a fiat heap. cover
them as above directed, and once In seed
you will always have it at planting time.

Thirty Varieties of Cotton Tested.

The latest bulletin Of the Alabama ex.
pertinent station mo. 40 presents COM
parative tests of thirty varieties Of cotton
Out of this number the five varieties yield
ing the largest quantity Of seed cotton per
acre are, the following named in order OF
productiveness:
Peterkin 1874, petit gulf 976, storm proof
1856, Truitt 95S, "wonderfuln 956.
or the thirty varieties the finest staple
AZ and the one commanding the highest
price 49, cents was the Cook" 1t
yielded 643 pounds per acre.
1t requires a good many tests before a
satisfactory conclusion can be arrived at.
At the Mississippi experiment station, as
previously cited. the Peterkin made a very
poor showing in a test Of thirty odd varie-
ties.
Any Of our readers actually engaged in
farming, and who would appreciate the bull
letins of the southern experiment station,
may get them by making application. Some
of them are very valuable.

II the soil is shallow the potatoes must be
planted shallow, but such soil need not be

been made per acre time and again, but our
common coils do not turn out more than

200 to 800 bushels can be easily made. Do
not let rank. unfermented manure, either

STAY WITH ME, JACK"
That Was the Plea Redwine Made to
Bis Friend.
From the atlantic Journal.

From the AtLdrtG Journal
When the bank officials and others had
questioned Redwine for hours after his
arrest and had game but little informa-
ton, they prepared to leave him until morn
ing.
The sudden fall from a social favorite and
a trusted official of an influential bank to a
fugitive from justice had made a terrible
change in the young mans appearance.
He looked haggard, worn and weary, and
after the excitement attendant upon his ar
rest and the modification following his
arrival at the station house in the presence
of such a bowling mob, he seemed well
nigh exhausted, but he was forced to sub
NIT to a rigid examination from the officers
of the bank officials and Jack Spalding on
the part of tie creditors.
W hen the excitement had begun to die
away and the attorneys were leaving him
in charge of Patrolman WImbish, who had
arrested him, he seemed to feel the need of
friend, and recognizing one in Mr.. Spald-
ing from the manner in which he had
questioned him, he turned toward him and
with an appealing look said, Stay with
me, Jack; don't leave me-"
HIS FEELINGS OvERPowERED HIM.
Mr.. Spalding consented, and taking him
by the hand Lewis Redwine led him to one
corner Of the room and began 10 talk to
him, but his feelings overpowered him, and
throwing his arms around the attorneys
neck he broke down and wept like child
He recovered himself with an effort, how
ever, and for an hour the two talked in an
earnest manner. Then Mr.. Spalding left
him alone with the guard, but he was in
possession of the secrets of the young mans
heart, for when asked about it this morning
he said:
''HE HAS NOT A DOLLAR OF THE MONEY.
'Of course can't divulge what Redwine
ssid to me, but this l will say; am satis>

Flora, fourth daughter of Phillip and

died July 10th, 1898, OF heart failure.
She was beautiful girl in her 10Th

all. While her parents, brothers and sis

Flora was great sufferer for days and
weeks at the time with that most painful
disease, inhammatory rheumatism, and
was sweetly patient through it all.
The family has the heartfelt sympathy
of wide circle OF friends. 1t is always
so hard to feel "Thy will not mine, o
Lord, be DONE" but theirs is Christian
family and the resignation will come in
time, and they will see their loss is her
gain, for our loving Heavenly Father

FALLS OF ROUGH.

Last Tuesday evening Colonel Green's
yard presented a beautiful sight. Bor-
dering the avenue leading from the gate
TO the house were japanese lanterns;
seats were placed before the veranda, and
the veranda itself was turned into stage;
and very pretty it looked, decorated with
the lovely maiden-hair ferns which gro
in such abundance in this vicinity; and
for the stage lights, more of the pretty
lanterns were used. And what was the
reason of all this2 Why, the merry
crowd of guests at Mrs. Green's hospita-
BILE mansion had put their heads together
and brought their talent and ingenuity
to work to make some money for the
church, and the result was the tableux,
songs and Rotations which took place at
the time before mentioned. Mrs. Green
was to have had charge of the entertain
ment, but owing TO her sudden illness the
charge was passed on to one or two of the
ladies in the house, who made brilliant
success of it, but all present missed Mrs.
Green and felt that it would have been
better if she could have been one of the
happy crowd.
The first thing on the program was the
"Baby Chorus" from Wang" which
was sung and danced by four little girls
with their dollies. The little tots were
all in white and acted their part nicely.
They had hardly gotten off the stage be-
fore in came lot Of little boys with pup
pies, kittens and little pigs for their dol
lies. They very successfully minced
the little girls, and the effect was ludi-
crous. JAMES Whitcomb Riley's "When
de Folks is Cone" was next recited by
young lady dressed as a darkey. After
her came little boy, dressed in the same
costume, who picked lively 'chune" on
his banjo that set oil feet to moving. The
old favorite, "Billy Coy" was very pref
tily sung by two little girls. Then one
or two recitations followed, and another
pretty, old ballad, "Conling Thro' the
Rye" was sung. Columbus before
Queen Isabella" made a beautiful tab
,leau. Once, when the curtain was drawn,
lovely Beatrice" appeared in a large
gold frame. The last thing on the pro-
gram was the two statues, Music" and
Liberty Enlightening the World" To
come down most abruptly from the clas-
steal to the commonplace, refreshments
were next served. On account of the
warm night they were eagerly welcomed
and the pretty girls who served them
were kept as busy as bees. After the re-
freshments the crowd separated, after en-
joying most pleasant evening.
