persl.-..,,nns as food.

The only f.uit. says a bulletin nf the dGpartmvuI of agriculture, whith equals the De .lLnOu in its value as a food iS the uate. Nevertheless m;.my persons with AHe perSimmon trees iii 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 a saying in the perSimmou country that pCr$immonS are good for dogs. hos and 'rO: sums" This, how ever, is declared to be- Il gross injustice to a very valuable prOdu>t.
 One reason for the neglect of this fruit is the mistaken i.ea that per simmons are unit to eat until they have been touched by frost. AS a matter of f2ct, much of the best fir is lost every year because it ripens and falls to- the ground, where. not being touched by frost. it is left to rot. Such porSimmOnS as are not edible before frost comes are a late variety of tie fruit, and the reason that they pucker the mouth is because they have not yet ripcned. In general. the best fruit is that which ripens just before the leaves fall.

Charley Horse,

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

Luminescent illumination.

It has been suggested that if a luminescenf paint were spread on buildings exposed to brilliant sunshine they would Givt off stored sunlight during the nigh and thus preserve one element of t,l radiant energy of the sun.

all Of those that knew him and
with whom he was during this

have discussed his plans with
some of them and mentioned
where he intended to go and thus
get a line on his movements.
Meanwhile descriptions Of the
man are being sent to police Of

the request that they keep
lookout for him and it is very
probable that some of these will
have the desired effect and will
result in his capture.
