Persimmons as Food.

The only fruit, says a bulletin of the department of agriculture, which equals the persimmon in its value as food is the date. Nevertheless many persons with fine pers1mmon trees in their possession are allowing the fruit to go to waste, either through ig- norance of the many uses to which it may be put or through prejudice. There is saying in the persimmon country that persimmons are good for dogs, hogs and 'possuns." This, how ever, is declared to be gross injustice to a very valuable product.
 One reason for the neglect of this fruit is the mistaken idea that per simmons are unfit to eat until they have been touched by frost. As a matter of fact, much of the best fruit is lost every year because it ripens and falls to the ground, where, not being touched by frost, it is left to rot Such persfmmons as are not edible before frost comes are 8 late variety Of the fruit, and the reason that they quicker the mouth is because they have not yet ripened. In general, the best fruit is that which ripens just before the leaves fall.

Ramemherinn Eaoaa-

Hotel clerks have a way of recogniz- ing guests as soon as they sign reg ister. The most successful hotel keep CTS have to have this power of remem- berfng the faces of their guests and all about them or they would soon lose their custom by the mistakes they would make.
 Bank cashiers carry in their memo ries the faces and signature of most of the customers of the bank.
 Detectives, too, get into the habit of remembering the faces of every one with whom they have to deal, whether criminals or not
 'I don't think have ever forgotten a customer clerk in one of the big safe deposits recently said. There are hundreds of safe deposit boxes rented in our vaults, and can generally re- member, without referring to our books, the name, number and pass word of each customer" r."-Exchange

Remedy For Anger.

The greatest remedy for anger is de lay. Beg anger to grant you this at the first, not in order that it may par don the offense, but that it may form a right judgment about it. If it de- lays it will come to an end. Do not attempt to quel it all at once, for its first impulses are fierce. By plucking away its parts we shall remove the whole We are made angry by some things which we learn at second hand and by some things which we ourselves hear or see Now, we ought to be slow to believe what is told us. If you were about to give sentence in court about ever so small sum of money you would take nothing as proved without a witness, and a wit ness would count for nothing except on his oath. You would allow both sides to be heard; you would allow them time.--Seneca.

Survival of the Fittest Among 4jrds.
 The struggle of life among the birds and other wild creatures is so severe that the feeble and uniformed, or the handicapped in any way, quickly drop out. Probably none of them ever dies from old age. They are cut off in their prime. A wedding out process goes on from the time they leave the nest. "A full measure of life, the perfection of every quill and feather and unerring instinct carry them along They are always in the enemy's country; they are always on the firing nne;i eternal vigilance and ceaseIess activity are the price, of life with them. The natural length of life of ouR smaller birds is calculated to be eight or ten years, but probably not one in a thousand reaches that age. Not half a dozen times in my life have found the body of a dead blrd that did not show some marks of violence.-John Burroughs in Harperss Magazine.

Hanneotsd snarra,ua.

Female sparrows are especially ty- rannical toWard their partners, espe- cfa1ly at nest building time, when they frequently attack their husbands fierce 1y on account of their 1aziness. At such times the female voice can al- ways be detected, both louder and shrfl1er than that Of her mate, as she pecks and tous1es him until he beats an ignominious retreat. Hen black birds and thrushes are often very over bearing and even sptteful toward their mates when their houses are in course of construction.

Charley Horse.

fsCharley horse" dreaded by ball players, is an ai1ment consisting of displacement and structure of the mus cles of the leg, often the sartofial mus c1e. The trouble is commonly brought about, not by running, but by quick stopping at bases. The player who :s'stops on his feet is almost certain to acquire the ailment in short time The overworked muscle, slipping out of place, knots itself into great lump and exerts pressure on the surrounding muscles, producing lamenesS.
 Massagfng will bring the muscle back to place, but the trouble returns at the next serious strain.
 When you see player make a long slide which appears unnecessary, the reason is that he prefers to scrape of a little skin rather eaan take chances on .'horsing' himself by stopping standing up.-Exchange.

He was one of the most notable of feeders and ate his food in what we should now think rather a piggish fashion, making great grunts and groans of satisfaction or enjoyment the while and going the round of the menu very thoroughly.

Harrisburg, Pa.-EXperts in universe
ties and colleges of the state have been
asked to inform the state department
Of agriculture why strychnine will kill
crows and not affect chickens when
eaten.
The State Live Stock Sanitary board
stirred up the question by sending out
notice urging that crows be exter-
minated and giving Instructions as to
use of. the poison
Some people wanted to know if chick
ems would be harmed by it. The board
officials replied that they would not,
and told of the result Of an experiment
by one man who had written to the
department that he had fed strychnine
in corn to brown leghorn chickens and
that they had not minded bit
When he threw it out for the crows
to eat he had to send out burial par
ties. On the other hand, quail did not
seem to mind it particle.

Making Salt.

Great improvements have been made
in the methods of making high grade
salt both by the grainer and vacuum
pan processes The mechanical grain
ers in which the brine enters the plant
and is not touched by human hands un-
til it is almost ready for shipment are
marvels Of ingenuity Fine table salt
is now made almost exclusively by
vacuum pan processes. These evap-
orators have so greatly reduced the
cost of making fine salt that the old
time methods long ago passed into his
tory.
