PERSIMMONS IN MICHIGAN.
Farmer Near Niles Gathers Them
from . Tree Standing Upon
His Farm.

1t is not often that people can harvest
a crop of fruit at this season of the
year, especially in this latitude, but
Henry Ridenour recently gathered the
persimmons from tree standing upon
his farm, northwest of Niles, Mich.
This tree is more than 40 years old,
having been planted by his father, and
has attained an unusual size. The bark
resembles that of the walnut, while the
foliage is that of a tropical nature, the
persimmon being a native of southern
ATTITUDES; but this particular specimen
seems to have become quite hardy, as it
withstood the blizzard of last February
and came out smiling in the spring of
1899. The fruit natures late in the sea-
son; in fact, cannot be eaten until after
hard freeze, when it soon ripens and
is delicious to the taste. There are a
few OF these trees growing hereab bouts,
and this one of Mr.. Ridenour's is prob
ably the largest specimen to be found
in all this section of the country.

tie firm of Perry Mason & Co., supposed
publishers of that most popular of
papers the Youths Companion, had no
existence in fact but was title assumed
to hide the identity of Mr.. Ford who
owned and controlled the entire bust
ness. He left an estate amounting to
$2,50e,00e Which all goes to charitable
institutions. The entire plant anu good
will of the Youths Companion is left to
his administrators to operate for the

less the executors are unusually astule

sectarianism. The Companion published
as an adjunct of the Baptist church will

TO SAVE A BIG SUM.
F1an by Which $500. 900 May Be Saved
In the Purchase of Typewriter
for Government,

A plan which may result in the saw
ing OF 100000 to the government was
presented to the cabinet the other day
by Secretary Long. This sum repre-
sents an amount expended annually for
1ypewrlters, which it has been repre-
sented may be wholly saved. It is esti-
mated $4,000 typewriting machines are
purchased each year by the government
for use in the Washington departments
and in other cities. These machines
have cost $500 each.
All the better class OF machines are
used and no uniformity is maintained
in buying them. Recently board was
detailed at the navy department to
look into the typewriting business, and
representatives of the various COM
panies appeared before the officers. T&
The board has completed its report,
giving what its members regard as the
necessary qualities in typewriter. It
was disclosed that such a machine as
was described, of which at least three
concerns produced samples, could be
bought for $50, with a liberal profit to
the maker. y.% =: 4 r .*@ ~ q, (
The report says the $500 price for the
machine represents the cost Of agencies
and the item of commissions. It is be-
ieved the governmental order can be
bulked SO as to have the $4,000 type
writers delivered at one of the depart
ments for $50 each. This on an order
for that number Of machines would
mean a saving Of 100000. 81 Y 5@S 81 ,.9sas5 II

WHILE the State Teachers Assccia-
| ton, which held its annual meeting IN
St. Paul last week discussed many ques
tions of Importance from an educational
standpoint we have not noticed that any
reference was made to one of the great
est fool conditions that now exists in
the educational system OF this and many
other states. Reference is intended to
the total absence of uniformity IN the
text books used in the public schools.
The distance from Minneapolis to New
Ulm 10 but 80 miles and yet the removal
of pupil from the schools of that city
to this necessltates the purchase of an
entire new outfit of books, and the same
state of affairs exists between the great
majority of the schools of the state. Is
this necessary? Why cannot course of
study be promulgated from the Office of
the State superintendent and series of
text books be selected common to all
the schools? Is it that there is too great
rivalry between the different publishers
of school books? Then let the state
| take charge of the publication of the
necessary books ana furnish them to the
school districts at figure somewhere
within the radius OF their actual cost.
This may sound like perternalism, but
it's good horse sense. Unfortunately,
however, the text book question, like
the baking powder agitation, seems only
to get the attention of the Legislature
! when some impecunlous senator or as
| semblyman runs short OF expense money.
